Sensations One Sheet Wonder Cards
Hi there! I thought that today I would share with you a One Sheet Wonder tutorial that I found on pinterest. With National Scrapbooking Day coming up this weekend, many of you might be making cards and Pam Bray's Sensational paper collection is perfect for this technique! Below is the template that I used.

Try to pick paper where all 4 of the sides look good together. Then...
Flowers Grow Back
Hi everyone! It's Linda and I'm here to share a small mixed media canvas that I created today using the Strength of the Season stamp set and a card from the Strength of the Season card pack.

To make these 4.25" x 5.5" cards, I created the backgrounds first. For the top layers of the cards, I popped up the focal piece with foam tape. They look flat in my photos, but they are actually very dimensional. To make the cards, I used the paper collection itself, as well as pieces from the ephemera and card packs. I also blinged them up with flair buttons and...
