Welcome to my blog!

Thanks for visiting my blog. As the title suggests, I love to scrapbook, stamp, and sing! I will share cards and scrapbook pages I create, as well as information about my music - Barbershop harmony.

Just Keep Swimming!

Hello friends - time to recap Craft Roulette Episode #292 featuring Mary Gunn & her guest, Therese Calvird (Lost in Paper). Therese has been a guest before, including on the CR World Card Making Day online event. I watched last night & crafted along, creating this card:


Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;
Paper Studio A2 card & black cardstock;
TH kraft metallic
Stamps - Hero Arts Color Layering Goldfish 
(retired but HERE at Frantic Stamper - just
one left at this writing)
Dies - Birch Press Design Block Print Angel Fish
Other - SSS Starshine dots; white gel pen;
black fineliner

As usual, we got four must-use parameters by the spin of a roulette wheel. The wheel was in rare form & I wasn't excited to start but got an idea & off I went!


  • Project - Encouragement Card: I used "just keep swimming" as an encouragement sentiment.
  • Colors - Sophisticated: Google said black/white/gray is sophisticated & also purple. 
  • Element - House Pet(s): I used an angelfish, common in household fish tanks! 
  • Random - Thread or Twine: I added a purple twine bow to my fish.
I've said it before, but I do best with quick die cutting for my Craft Roulette card to be done during the show. A stamped sentiment and some dots for bubbles finished the card. I used a new Birch Press angelfish so will add my card to Darnell's NBUS Challenge #80.

That's it for today. I'm off to a pancake breakfast hosted by a sister Sweet Adelines chorus across town. They'll also have a bake sale with some yummy treats & maybe some crafts too? We'll see....

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!!
