I got some inspiration and was able to come up with the “backyard” for my house shape tip-ins.

This was a fun little swap…only 6 houses. Not quite as overwhelming as the last set of houses I made for a swap.

She left me behind. I’m a very frustrated artist right now. Every time I go to make something either no ideas come or the ideas I have don’t translate to paper. I hate wasting supplies so I often don’t let myself just “play”.
I pulled out a couple books in various altered stages hoping to maybe get a page or 2 done in one of those. Nope…was not to be today. I did slap some paint on a couple pages..we’ll see what becomes of that. I like the colors but that’s is so far.

My neighbor invited me to a card party/demo today. The woman’s studio was fantastic!!
I wanted to move in..I’d sleep under the tables..no biggie. I started my paper arts journey as a rubber stamper making greeting cards. That was 13 years ago. A lot has changed. I still use my stamps but not to make cards. This was a nice opportunity to get a few made without having to think up a design.I also got the cutest little box as a gift walking in the door. I’m going to be taking it apart so I can
make a template. I am SO going to make a bunch of these for quick little gift boxes.
