Santa, Stop Here

“Santa Stop Here” from Polkadoodles was colored digitally, along with the beaded circle and bow design from Love SVG.

A Grand Bundle of Joy

 Used an Allison Davis sketch for last week’s Fussycutting Day with Scrapbook Generation. Finally used a Twinkle Twinkle Little Star foiled watercolor page I’ve been hoarding for years—this sketch made it worth it!

Picture Yourself - A Cherry on Top

This layout was inspired by this month’s Picture Yourself Challenge at A Cherry on Top: Create a layout about something most people don’t know about you. I chose photos from my Engineer-for-an-Hour experience on the Pere Marquette 1225—the real Polar Express.

Mood Board Challenge from A Cherry on Top

Lately, life has been filled with non-crafty responsibilities, and my creative time has felt a bit limited. Still, whenever I need to pause and reconnect with that side of myself, the challenges from A Cherry on Top are my go-to source of inspiration. They remind me why I love creating — the simple joy of turning an idea into something tangible.

This month’s Mood Board Challenge featured a moody mix of black and rusty orange, inspired by the beauty of autumn. I leaned into the season’s warmth and nostalgia, incorporating leaves, pumpkins, and the word “autumn” into my design. It felt grounding — a quiet nod to change, reflection, and creativity in transition.

All of the elements came from Creative Fabrica, and I used my Eclips to bring each piece together. The process was a gentle reminder that even during busy seasons, carving out a little time to create can feel like a deep breath — a reset for the spirit.

Dear Santa Mouse

This is for the May challenge. I used Christmas Mouse Set from our sponsor Last-Minute Manda. The set has files for easy-to-make cards....but I did some fussy cutting to be a litte creative.

Peace, Love, and Joy

2024 Yes Jar

I printed the title. Then I dug into my stash and found some rub-ons with family sentiments.  I added the tag for a Cherry on Top Challenge.

Cacti Layout

I just love the plants out here in Arizona.   This layout was for a Cherry on Top Challenge to use a famous line from a Gene Hackman movie.  I chose the line "Down here, things are different" from Mississippi Burning.
