Haven't had much time  to create lately. We are building my art studio in the backyard. I'm getting really excited. I probably won't purchase the cabinets and counters til next year. You never know though. If my old desk sells at the garage sale, I'll need to purchase something to work on :-)

Here is a card I cased by Michelle Zindorf. She is such an inspiration. Not just in stamping either!

I played with my new owl punch. Life is so much easier thanks to stamps withmatching punches. I added an black scallop circle in the upper left corner and put 3 different sayings in the package that the buyer can choose to use.

practice makes perfect

Well, I tried to duplicate some of Michelle's cards after taking her class. I picked some of the direct to paper, but had to change the colors a bit. Sorry, couldn't figure out how to rotate this one.

took a class or two

Well  I actually did it. I bit the bullet and saved for two classes by Michele Zindorf'. Hopefully you will see more brayered and direct to paper cards in my future. Right now, I'm busy with Xmas cards. Then the hubby asked me to make some gift sets for him. If only we could all purchase extra time ;-)

Hopefully will have something to show soon.

Here are a couple of my new friend cards. I just ordered some really fun stamps. Can't wait til they get here.

Getting ready for fall

I'm hoping that the more Halloween and fall cards I make the cooler it will become outside. I love fall!! The colors, the comfort foods, and omost of all the cooler weather. Don't ge me wrong. I love Summer too. But here in CA, it can get a bit warm and its never when you expect it. Here are a couple of my newest cards. They are available at Imagine That in Franklin, CA. It is the cutest store! Go and check it out.
