    Making cards

    October 20, 2011 - By 
    Ok…so the thumb still hurts but I can’t seem to 
    not use it. 
    No matter what it is in life…I use that thumb. 
    So I might as well make some cards…right?
    I made a lot of cards…
    they are like chips…bet you can’t eat just one…er…make just one.

    I’ve had a couple people ask me lately about my photo cards for the holidays.  Gifts and such I’d assume.
    Which got me thinking…I should really sit down and make a bunch with all the photos I already have!

    I also made a few more fabric collage cards. 
    I really enjoy making these. 
    They are what you might call a labor of love.

    Little bits of creativity

    September 8, 2011 - By 

    I’ve been working on a few things over the last couple weeks.

    I made the cover for my ABC_alteredbookclub 8th Anniversary swap book. I’m waiting on the last page to arrive before binding.
    I used Citra Solv paper for the background then cut the flower from a photograph I took a few years ago.
    I added the paper flower and “Joy” brad for interest.

    Since we have a few September birthdays in our family I’ve been busy making cards. This one is for my mom. She loves butterflies and flowers.

    Lastly, I’ll share a little peek at a mixed-media painting I’ve been working on. It’s not finished…definitely a work in progress.

    What I did BEFORE summer vacation…

    June 9, 2011 - By 

    Today is it….then it’s 24/7 kid time for 3 months. I can’t complain. I am lucky to be at home. There is always that adjustment phase for everyone though.

    I made a couple of quick ATC’s just to prove to myself that I could still create something.

    I also put together sets of my photo greeting cards for the teachers and assistants.
