this morning

that washi tape was teasing me all morning so I got to work with paper scraps on the table.

ready to mail!

spring!!

I'm not a big user of washi tape but I couldn't pass this up at Target today!

cute!!

stamps older than.....well old!

Easter cards and a Birthday card......

colored pencils seem to be working!  added a little glitter and found some old paper, too.

 a shadow box that folds to fit an envelope.  This stamp could be a lot older than the birthday man!

And I also practiced some water color....

thanks for stopping in....

more.....

looks like a series to me.  what do you think?  One more and it will be complete.....

And read about this technique and had to give it a try.  

that's it for now!

play time for big and little people!

worked on some new atcs today.  These are for some big people.......

And this is for a little guy.  I can't believe he is going to be a year old real soon.

pull his tongue and......

his ears pop up and his eyes appear.  Adding a message next!

Another post tomorrow!

junk journals in the making....

I've been wanting to try my hand at Junk Journals.  I finally got started.......

Our HOA doesn't allow clotheslines.  I wonder how they feel about paper lines? 
Walnut stained, dried and ready to get all vintaged up and sewn into a book!

Hopefully I will have a few in May to show.  That's my goal.

wish me luck!

classes

Watch for classes in May.  I will be in town for a quick visit in March and I do plan to pop into the store.  Maybe we'll run into each other!!

I'll leave you today with some local art - on the wall of a building downtown!

resist and layers

played today after finishing the March card kits.
stamps, distress ink, watercolor, sprays, crazing, glimmer mists, distress crayon, embossing.........
all on one little piece of mixed media paper.  added some sewing, ribbons.....
now I wish I had made one more........

Want one?  Let me know and maybe I will play again soon!!
