3M Nourishing Note

Kelly, Barb, and I have been creating together as the Three Musketeers every month since November 2014. We all three create a card using the same image. I always enjoy seeing how different our cards are, even though we use the same image. This is one of my favorite posts of the month. 

We take turns choosing what stamp will be used. This month it was Barb's turn. She chose the Studio Katia Nourishing Note.

Thank you, Barb!

Be sure to check out Barb's and Kelly's cards, too...

Unused No More - June 2026

It's the 6th of the month - time for the Unused No More Challenge. Not sure what that is? Knowing we have stamps and other products we've not used, Barb created the idea for this challenge and invited others to join her in the fun.

The challenge each month is to pick a stamp set, stencil, die, hot foil or press plate (or maybe something else I have not thought of) that you have not used yet—still new in the package or your storage choice.


Make a card or another project, giftable, ATC, etc. with the new item and now it is used!


This challenge is exactly what I need! I'm not going to name how many unused stamps I have (not to mention dies, embossing folders, stencils, etc.) but I will tell you this - over 35% of the stamp sets I own are currently unused (at least by me - some of them I have purchased second-hand). That's ridiculous! I need an intervention and Barb has created it for me. It's called Unused No More.


I made a card this month using the Stamps of Market Best of Times stamp set and It's Time die set.



There are several of us in this group, but these are the ones that have blogs if you'd like to check out their Unused No More cards/projects:

Using This ONE Stamp for Kicks in 2026 - June

The 3rd of each month is a special day here on my blog - it's the day that Kelly (the founder of this series), Barb, and I share our One Plus Twelve cards. The idea is to use the same ONE stamp (not a set) each month to create a card. Sentiments can be used, too, if we choose.

We started this series in 2019; it's hard to believe we've been doing it that long. 

My ONE stamp this year is a beautiful floral from the Pinkfresh Studio Amazing Things stamp set.

This month I diecut part of the image using an oval die and added a bow from the same die set.

You can see Barb's and Kelly's cards on Instagram as well as their blogs...

SCS Sketch #SC1117

I have been part of the Sketch team on Splitcoaststampers for a few years now. Whether it's my week to create the sketch (the first Wednesday of each month) or I'm creating a sample card based on the sketch someone else created, I find that having a sketch to use can get my creative ideas flowing. 

There is a new sketch to work with every Wednesday. I encourage you to check them out.

I created this week's sketch - #SC1117:

I hope you'll use the sketch to make a card, too.
