Join Me?

Hi All!! I am back...actually I could have taken a few more days off but decided that wasn't fair to all of you! The reason I stated it wasn't fair to all of you is because I said I would be back today. Perhaps I can take off a bit of time in July. I did get some work done but not as much as I had hoped. Oh well, isn't that the way it goes!

I created this card for OnyxXpressions. Both the image and saying by the company. "The pattern paper is by K&Company. I colored the flowers on the both the tea cup and teapot with a yellow and green Sakura Gelly Glaze pen. The ribbon is from Micheal's.

Enjoy!!!

Paris...

I created this ATC for a mingle at Stampers Corner. The theme was "Paris". The background was created with ink and a brayer, then stamped with images by Tim Holtz. The collage image of the Eiffel Tower is by ARTchix Studio. The domino is done with the Polished Stone techniques using inks-Senorita Magenta and Passion Purple- from Pinata Inks. Then I used Gel Medium by Golden to adhere the collage image to the domino and then applied it to the ATC.

I will be taking off the Sunday through Wednesday from posting on my blog. Since my plans fell through from the first part of the weekend I was able to post through today. I decided I needed to take a bit of time to do some catch up stamping....got to have lots of new projects to post, right!

Enjoy!!! See you Thursday!!!

Birds of a Feather...

This is a busy week for me. I have a lot of projects to accomplish and complete. Plus, I need to create some cards too. I will get to it all...it is my goal this week.

This is a fun image by Inkadinkado. I look at this image and the thought comes to mind that they are gossiping about the neighbors they don't like. The pattern paper is from Joann's and it doesn't indicate on the back of who it is by. Plus, this card is created for a sketch challenge on Stampers Corner in the future.

Enjoy!!!

Life is Too Short...


Another happy Monday!!! Not sure if it is a happy day or not for many but it is another Monday. Monday's seem to creep up too soon and the weekends never last long. I love the weekends because that means no appointments, no obligations, etc. I have lots of time on weekend to work on my art and accomplish much more than I do in the week. Although as of late I have gotten away from working on my collages and other items that are the art I miss. Oh well, I do hope I get to that soon.

This cards was created as part of the series I did using images from OnyxXpressions. I think this is one of my favorite images and sayings from this plate. The stripe pattern paper is by Liz King (have had for several years) and the diamond paper is from Micheal's (doesn't not say who makes it on the back...odd). The ribbon is from Micheal's and the flower is by Prima.

Enjoy!!!
