Circle Circus
I had so little time to prepare for my Hostess event on Sunday as I’ve only just got back from our US Oddysey and am still suffering terribly from jet lag so was working virtually right through the night on Friday and Saturday to get it done. These are the card samples I made up […]
Inspiring Inkin Challenge #11 Picture Inspiration
I used the sizzix fringed flower die to cut several layers of flower held together with a rhinestone brad to resemble the silver charm in the picture below.

Outside temperatures were soaring into the 100s, but inside, a mini village had been built with a painted sky and air conditioned with even a simulated thunderstorm at regular intervals indoors! The Stratosphere, it’s got three hair raising rides by day. […]
