Nature inspired…

Howdy craft lovers! I honestly have no idea what I am going to do with this card It is square and thick and a bit heavy so it might not make it through the US postal system too well. I just couldn’t stop embellishing it LOL!   It was one of these “putter” cards, I [...]

Watercolor {pencils} made easy!

How do I love watercolor pencils? Let me count the ways: They are inexpensive (esp. compared to Copics!) They last FOREVER! I can let me kids use them and not worry about them getting damaged. They blend with ease. I can control them in my tiny stamped images much better than traditional watercolors. No mess! [...]

These are a few of my favorite things….

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens…well, that’s nice and all but my favorite things are of course a little more artsy. I was looking at this card I made in June but had not posted (I had to wait to post it because it was published in the Winter 2011-2012 issue of Rubber Stamp [...]

Quick cards for kids!

Stamp something, you’ll feel better!

Happy Wednesday folks! I have been suffering from a lack of creative mojo this week but if there is one thing I have found is that the best way to get out of a funk is just to make yourself create. This won’t win any prizes but at least I made something {and it is [...]
