This week I seem to be back in the spirit of relatively fast projects that don’t require a lot of thinking on your part. Maybe it’s the spring weather or the fact that I’m home from a weekend away and just want to have some fun. It doesn’t really matter, but I do love the […]
Today’s challenge was inspired in part by the paper cutting book I was reading and in part by a super simple Valentine’s card I once made with a drawing of the girl’s. It’s easy to cut paper in simple shapes — or even not-so-simple shapes — and use the cutout as a sort of frame […]

The girl is home sick, and I […]
