Happy Valentine's Day

HELLO.

It's 50 degrees today. Yesterday the high was 30 degrees.
A couple of weeks ago wind chills were 30 below. Phew!

I saw this Pure Innocence stamp and knew I had to have it!
I've been looking for more ethnic stamps for some time and this one fits the bill.
I've colored her with Copics, Prismacolor pencils as well as my Lyra skin tone set.

Isn't she a cutie?

Hope your Valentine's Day is SWEET!

Talk to you soon.

Happy New Year

Hello! Happy New Year 2019.

2018 was an exciting year. I did a couple of craft fairs.
In November and December my sister and I went to what seems
like every craft fair there was;) The plan was to get some idea
of fairs that I might want to sign up for, We'll see!?

I took a couple of road trips...Richmond, Indiana to visit Aunt Bar
and Keokuk, Ia. (sadly) for an uncles funeral.

That's all for now!

Thanks for stopping by.

PS This is Heisenberg...we adopted him this year;)

Happy New Year(lol)

It's been more  than a year...did you miss me?

I've worked on so many things...cards, boxes,techniques. I
even did a craft fair in May. Tons of fun.
Mostly I have been coloring/collecting books, pages, pencils and pens. It's an addiction!

Just a couple of colored pencil wip images for you.

Can't say when I'll be back but thanks for dropping in.

New Year's Eve Eve

Hola.

I cannot believe we are two days away from the new year!
I kept telling myself I would do more blogging but...:(

Let me check for any more xmas cards?

These will go in the box for next year.

In case I don't get back here, I hope you have a very healthy, happy new year.

New Blog Design

Hi, All.
How are you?

I am still tinkering with a new look on the blog and still making Xmas cards.

I used the Gina K. foil sheets. They are so much fun. I'm looking through my
stash for some kind of embellishment. Maybe a flower?

These were from a Stamp TV video. Theresa Momber using Gina K products.
I think they turned out  beautifully.

It has been snowing all day. I love it.

Thanks for stopping by.

X-mas cards, continued

Hi, All.
I have a few more cards to share.

The card idea is from Penny Black(Jill Foster) the tree stamp is from
the Hero Arts kit for November.

Thank you for stopping by.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello, All.
Hope your Thanksgiving was a happy one.

Today I drove  up to Gina K's store in Greendale, Wisconsin. A nice outing.
Her store is lovely, filled with all of her products as well as other brands.

I am still working on holiday cards even though I have more than I need:)

The top card features a Mo's digi image colored with Copics.
The bottom card uses an Art Impressions stamp, also colored with Copics.

That's all I have for you right now.
Talk to you soon.

BRRR

Hello, all. Winter has arrived early. I have been working on holiday cards. Something wonky going on with my blog. i think it has something to do with my transferring a post from my other blog. I'll figure it out and get back to you.

We are having a mini heat wave...65 degrees in Illinois, mid February!  I love it.

Have a couple of pics...

These cards were a sketch from Jenn Nelson. A good way to use some of my design paper
stash.

That's all I have for you now.

Have a great week-end.

Happy Friday, All.

I have been busy finishing my holiday cards and following
The Daily Marker 30 day color challenge.

I'm happy to share;)

 My Favorite Things stamp set. Colored with Copics and paper pieced.

Hello!
It's been ages. Sorry about that.

Copic Boot Camp was great fun...I learned a ton.
I posted some pics on Facebook and Instagram.

I have been obsessed(;)) with Adult Coloring books.
Been learning so much about different varieties of pencils.
My favorites are PrismaColor.

These images are from "In My Garden" by Jean Sanders. It's a smaller sized book with journaling pages.

That's all I have for now.

Thanks for stopping by.
