My Journey Into Art

For my Mother-in-law, my Father-in-law passed away today.
The last bit of life to be featured here, but so many of you knew what was going on, I had to finish this. Thank you so much for your support!
I really liked this sketch when I saw it on 2 peas and I was going to [...]

is going on a different blog. This one was intended only for art.
I have to thank all you lovely talented generous ladies for your thoughts and prayers. That means the world to me!!!!
Have a wonderful, safe and Happy New Year!!

my fil is no better or no worse. I’m looking on that as the longer he stays as is, the more he’s healing. Probably doesn’t make sense but it’s the only way to look at it for me.
On a sadder note we lost DH’s aunt, fil’s sil, last night after a a very long battle [...]

I got real tired of the black b/g so I changed to one I’ve seen and really liked and am much more comfortable with. But… I lost all my links, dummy me didn’t save the template. Lesson learned. LOL
Please bear with me while I get them back on. I have so much to learn about [...]

These are the last I’m making! I don’t feel like making any more after the last 12 hrs we’ve been through.
DH and I were at the hospital til 6 this morning with his family, his Dad is very ill, then when we got home I discovered that our hot water tank had let go. Water [...]

I want to wish all of you talented people who visit my blog a very Merry Christmas. Thank you so much for th sweet, kind comments you so generously leave. It makes my day when I read, and reread, LOL, all the lovely things you say about my art. Thank you so very much.
Have a [...]

These images were already done so I just put them together with whatever paper I thought would look good. LOL
4 or 5 more to do, on top of everything else I have to do tomorrow after working midnights tonight. Just a typical birthday for me!! LOL

These are real quick cards that I need at the last minute. I’ll be doing that a lot in the next 3 days.! The poinsettas are coloured with Twinkling H2O’s love them.

I’m not ready to stop playing with Santas!! Both these cards are using images from a clip art cd by Joanna Banana Designs I got off eBay.ca. Gorgeous images on this cd.
The grey border around the blue Santa is silver glitter – darn scanner robs the sparkly!! The 1st time I’ve used it! Love it [...]

A couple of weeks ago I was blog hopping and noticed on one that UHU (adhesives) was offering free samples. I’m always looking for a good glue so I clicked on the link, I have it in my links (Maria Filosa’s UHU Project Blog) and emailed them for a sample, forgetting to give them my [...]

Yes I know, it’s been a while. I don’t get much creating done during my work week. Not enough time to get into anything. I still have about 25 cards to make this weekend on top of everything else to finish, another small gift, cleaning .. etc.

This is my 1st piano hinge book. It’s 1 [...]

The cards for the swap showed up today. But as I slowly panicked this was the replacement I made for the originals. Now I’ll use them for Christmas cards!! The ribbons on the side are a silver layered over a gold. Neither shows well. The green frame is so the white base card doesn’t disappear. [...]

A friend sent me this e-mail and I thought it was fun. Share your answers!

that is my stamping area, I have done 3 more cards. One is kinda cased from Holly but hers reminded me of one I’d done a couple of years ago for a swap. I hate redoing cards but I’m almost desperate this year.

I’ve got some absolutely gorgeous (to me anyway) paper that I want to [...]

For Holly, but you’ve already seen the sprite and I’m sooo not happy with the other one. I have some gorgeous French ribbon that I’d love to use but I can’t seem to get it to work in a design. Boohoo.
That’s it for now but more, definitely tomorrow. I’ve got one cooking that so far [...]
