Good Tidings Gothic Arch

December 17, 2020

Hello! It is a cold and wintery day here in Michigan. I finished up a little Gothic Arch to share (yes, I have been on a real kick with them) today. One reason I have been making arches so often is they can be done (photographing, text, and stickles too) usually in 1.5 hours. That is often the amount of time I get to create as of late.

I hope you are all staying well during these uncertain times. Christmas and the Holiday Season sure will be different this year, perhaps it will allow us to reflect on the truly important things in life and be grateful for them.

Stay well my friends!

Pouty Pink Skinny Card

November 6, 2020

What a crazy fall week here in Michigan. Last weekend, it was in the 30’s…and this week it slowly rose to 72 degrees today! WOW!

It is a pink…while I love autumn my creations today were calling for girlie stuff. Little 3 x 5 collage was mounted on to more pattern paper and then watercolor card.

May Skinny Cards

May 12, 2020

Hello My Friends! Sharing a few skinny cards (3 x 5 size) with you today. This is a wonderful way to use up scraps of paper and collage images. They are also very versatile as you can mount them onto a larger card, in journals (tuck spots and pockets) or the cover of a traveler’s notebook.

The bases are 3 x 5 Kraft Cardstock. To that I added layers of pattern paper allowing a small border for the cardstock to peek out. Ephemera was also added to each piece, collage images (Paper Whimsy), and bits of craft paint.

A Little Sweetness…

February 1, 2020

Happy February! I always love when this month arrives because we are closer to spring. It also is my birth month and I adore Valentine’s (heart everything)!

I hope you are all surviving the winter and what a strange one it has been! Very little snow, and dark and dreary days. I think January saw the sun maybe 3 days? While I can handle the cold, I need that sunshine too!

Today, I was working on some prototypes for an upcoming event and this is the first one for a Collage Card class. I was happy with the results. Now, to get cracking on the other tomorrow.
