 This tutorial below showed how I printed the postcard using a regular black printer and got a vintage look.

I decided to stamp the fan and used a black marker to color it all in.
I added three quilled roses. I wanted it to tilt so I used a paper spring
underneath the back of the fan. I adhered the bottom with a black brad.

I decided to use the I love you sentiment from this set to do "chalkboard technique".
I kept the rest of it black and white for a classy look. 
I used Mojo328 sketch.

Thank You




My mother took this photo of some roses that were growing in her yard this week.One of the blessings of living in a warm climate. I had ice and snow and below zero temperatures. I made some paper roses to add some color and cheer to my winter day.





I used the sketch from MOJO MONDAY 327.
Sugar Creek Hollow was to use something new. That would be the new roses I made yesterday.
The Shabby Tea Room was to use roses.
The devotion at Word Art Wednesday this week was about Thanking God. So I made a thank you card.

I used a sentiment from Mark's Finest Papers set called HUGE BLOOMS.

Paper Doll Folder Tutorial

Paper dolls day 3

Day 3 of paper dolls. This outfit was a lot of fun to make. I stamped it twice once on pink and once on the striped and I cut them apart and put them together. There would have been another outfit with a striped shirt and pink pants but I messed up when fussy cutting the pants. I thought the little belt of rhinestones was a cute touch.


Make sure you check out what the other designers are doing on the Mark's Finest Papers Blog Hop.

I added a quilled paper rose to the dress.

I am making a doll and a set of clothes for each of my nieces. This outfit, I added a row of rhinestones
for buttons.
