On The Spot: Just Jade

Over the weekend I had a little poll on my Facebook page, with the colors from the Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper. Take a look at the color palette. The colors are so vibrant and pretty together, it’s hard to pick just one, but Just Jade was the winner! Today I’m looking at color combinations for Just Jade. Colors in this family are my absolute favorite – Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay and Pretty Peacock.

Hoping All Your Birthday Fishes Come True

The Georgia Aquarium is by far the best aquarium of the many many we visited during Logan’s childhood. The fish paper reminds me of the huge Tropical Diver exhibit. The paper does all the work on this simple, easy card.
