Happy Easter

So, this is one of the variations of Easter cards I am sending out this year. I had fun coloring the image in with watercolor pencils.  I am entering this into the Simon Says Anything Goes challenge--my favorite!! :-)

Canvas is My Latest Obsession!

So, my latest obsession is making mixed media canvasses.  I love the Julie Nutting dolls from Prima!  You have to paper piece them to get fun dresses, but it is worth it to me. I embossed the hearts so they would fit my friend Stacy's challenge. I'd like to encourage you to enter her challenge-she is so sweet and leaves you love, and there is always a nice prize for someone!  I also decided to enter it into Simon Says Show Anything Goes. I used some Faber Castell gelatos that I won from them a long time ago as well as some distress paint and stamps! The saying comes from CTMH. 

I hope you like her. I am in love with doing these!

Thanks for looking! I'll have more soon! maybe even today!

Charlie in the Snow

Here is Charlie in the "snow."  Little did we know that we would have several blizzards after that and well into March!  Hopefully, spring will poke its head out soon seeing how today is the first day of APRIL!  Anyway, I made this for Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes. It is my third entry!

2010 Halloween - ESL Students

So, I made this layout of some of my ESL students. They had been trick-or-treating at my neighbor's house.  They had so much fun!  I made the spiders that are covering their faces at the same friend's house last night! They were so easy to make and so much fun!  I'll give some to my nephews and will probably wear some while handing out treats this year! Some are rings, and some have fairly flat backs, so I can even use them on my scrapbook pages or cards! Yay!  Anyway, I made this for The Paper Variety's challenge  this week!



Thanks for visiting! It makes my day! If you have time, leave me a comment so I know you were here! I haven't been visiting as many people lately since I've been on a little hiatus with my health and being really busy!   I got a good report yesterday on my legs! I was worried about one, but they said that the symptoms were normal and should go away!  I'll try to stop by soon if you leave me a comment!

Karen and Julie - Thanksgiving 2009

I made this for Sketches 4 All. Mel,  from Australia, gave me that beautiful chipboard flourish. I dabbed it with a copper Adirondack paint dauber! That cute little stamped image with the bird/birdhouse is Stampin' Up! I colored it in with Tombow markers!

Butterfly and flower-greens, yellows and browns

Caardvarks had a lacy challenge. I thought this was a fun card to do! I used some liquid glass on the butterfly and flower!
