A big thanks to Somerset Studio Gallery for sharing some of my Growth Journal. What's that? It's where I try out all sorts of things and see what happens. And yes...there is even brown happening in there. I am over the moon honored to be in here with so many talented artists!

For this layout I dragged out my Grand Peony Dies from Spellbinders to create a fuller flower. I've also handcut some cute little Bitty Blossoms. I made a mix of some of Donna's new Blue Pigment Powder with some water to create a paint and brushed it onto the edges of the flowers and then along the corrugations to add some delicious shimmer!

It's that time again to announce the winner from the latest challenge this time for April. Thank you very much to everyone who entered. As usual the standard was incredibly high but there has to be a winner though. For originality and beauty the winner has to be Number 22 Moira with her altered spoon.

Hi Roadies! Jocelyn here on the blog today. I'm sharing a couple of cards with new Maya Road products. As soon as I saw the You Are My Sunshine buttons, I knew I had to use them as owl eyes. I threaded them with the Shine Gold cording.

My Craft Channel is the first of its kind online TV Craft Network. It goes beyond the simple web "how-to" home video & delivers broadcast quality programming. New shows air each week so there is something for everyone.

Today I'm headed to Milwaukee for the annual Bead and Button Show sponsored by Bead and Button Magazine (Kalmbach Publishing). I'll be teaching three classes, attending the always-fabulous Meet the Teachers reception and, of course, shopping for some fantastic jewelry-making supplies.

I am 24 years old and I have been crafting for over 6 years. I design for for various Craft Shops such as My Mum's Craft Shop, The Ribbon Girl & Sugar Nellie along with also being part of 3 Challenge Blog Design Teams, one of which I run myself.

Even though we've been blogging for quite some time only just figured out the followers button, so please follow us to hear about all that is new in the land of PaperArtsy. We'd love to share our ideas with you! Leandra

For each post that has over 100 comments left on it before the following post goes live, I will put each of the names from the comments left in to a hat and draw three lucky winners every Sunday.

We must see hand stamping as the focal element of your artwork, it can be a stamped image/s, large sentiment or quote....... the one exception are Penny Black Stickeroos. But no digi images and entries using them WILL NOT be eligible for prizes or GDT spots.

Welcome to a brand new Penny Black Saturday Challenge! Thank you to those of you who joined in with our 'Easter or Chocolate Brown' challenge last month! Now it's time to announce the lucky winner (chosen at random) of the prize from our generous sponsor: $20 Gift Voucher from 1-2-3 Stitch Congratulations Janine!

What drives us to try new things, wear new colors, change the sofa pillows three times a year, and grab the latest nail polishes out there? TRENDS of course! They are every where you look: in clothing, cars, house designs, glasses, and on and on and on. WHEW! And they change constantly!

Well first and foremost, I'm a crafter, but I'm lucky enough to be in the position of making my passion and hobby my work!
