Hi there! I hope you are having a great week! It's time for an all new MFTWSC sketch challenge. Thanks to all who joined along with last week's sketch ~ so many fantastic entries! This week, we at MFT have another fabulous sketch for you to create with: I opted to create a rather clean and simple card for this week's challenge embracing all the primitive white space. To create this card, I die cut a piece of Primitive...

I started by layering various papers from the fabulous Cartographer Collection which screams an old world style, coordinating perfectly with my photo and theme I was trying to capture....

Hi there! Today I have a collection of cards to share featuring the newly released Pion design Memory Notes beautiful papers. When the box arrived from Sweden, I couldn't wait to dive in and create.
