Thank You!

I wanted to thank each and everyone of you who have sent messages and posted well wishes for me since I’ve been sick.  I have been deeply touched by all of the kindness and concern shown to me.  It has taken a lot longer to spring back from this than I had anticipated.  Mostly, I have [...]

Sick as a Dog!

I wanted to update everyone since I haven’t been on here for several days.  I have been suffering from a severe sinus infection and was finally able to go to the doctor today.  He prescribed lots of medicine and gave me a steroid shot to jump start me on the road to recovery.  Once the [...]

Hugs and Fishes for Grandma

Last Friday I created a card for the Limited Supply Challenge on Splitcoast–create a card for Grandma from our kids using kid-themed stamps and NO flowers.  I didn’t have the time to create one for my daughter until today.  This card is a complete CASE of a card I did last summer.  I switched the [...]

Bugs and Kisses for Grandma

The Limited Supply Challenge on Splitcoast today is to create a Mother’s Day card for Grandma from our kids.  The BIG catch was that we could not use flowers at all (*gasp*)!  I almost decided not to participate, but once I got going on this card, I had so much fun putting it together!  The [...]

Petal Prints Friend

The Ways to Use It Challenge on Splitcoast today calls for using markers.  I must confess that I rarely use my markers anymore, now that I’ve discovered watercoloring.  But using markers this afternoon was like returning to an old friend.  I used markers three different ways on this card.  To create the flowers, I colored [...]

Artfully Asian Birthday

I have spent at least an hour this afternoon trying to get a good photo of this card!  My camera does not photograph dark colors well at all, so I apologize that a lot of the details of the card have been lost.  It really does look so much better in person!  (To see some of the [...]
