Hello, hello!!! Today, I am sharing a 5x5 mini album using Crate and Paper's Snowflake collection.

Here I picked birthday scrapbook papers for the box and I love the way it unintentionally matched all the markers I used to color the gifts. Unintentional - as I colored everything before choosing the papers... got so lucky! I think that mo...

Hi, everyone! This month, I am honored to be Pretty Pink Posh 's social media guest designer!!! It is my first time ever designing a card for a stamp company, so I am supercalifragilisticexpialidocious excited to get crafting!!! For the first card, I used the Winter Wonderland stamp set and coordinating dies. I love making pop up box cards, so that is exactly what I created. I used beautiful and soft colors, using my Copic sketch markers, for all the critters and tree branch. The sentiment is also from the same set. Please come back tomorrow to see the next Pretty Pink Posh card! Also, feel free to follow me on instagram !
