My Journey Into Art

I got to paly a bit with my new sewing machine today. After familiarizing myself with it and making sure I remembered how to sew, LOL, it’s been a while, I got out the paper and tried that. Worked, wonderful. Then I stamped these great images from my new Nature stamps by Rhonna Farrer from [...]

WOMEN
I can finally do one of Isa’s wonderful challenges. I felt so silly when I tried to do one and realized I didn’t use the distress inks that was called for. D’uh!!
I did an ATC, which I haven’t done in ages, using one of my favourite images which I got off of Nancy Dooren’s blog

but I finally have a card for my DH for our anniversary! He laughed at me.
I’m lovin’ working with acetate right now. Can you tell??

to all the mothers I know! I hope it’s a great day for all.

We’ve been married 30 years today and while I couldn’t be happier at this, the fact that I couldn’t come up with one decent idea for a card for my wonderful hubby is a matter of great dissatisfaction. I spoke to a friend about it and she started spewing out wonderful ideas like a fountain. [...]

I’m almost caught up! LOL I got my mil’s Mother’s Day card done and one for ink-stains weekly challenge. This week it’s for a card using black and white and one other colour. I wanted to use this one paper I had that I had never used but it was a little masculine. So, no [...]

this is so neat, the link was on one of my lists a couple of weeks ago and I couldn’t for the life of me remember what a file card looked like so I didn’t fill out the blanks right. Therefore no card. Thanks to Dymphie, who posted one on her blog, I figured it [...]
