a four letter word to many across the country but here it is a celebration!
RAIN!  finally and even though it was just a small amount by most standards, it lowered the temperature by over 10 degrees.
and more is on the way......

interesting technique...I'll share more later....

july 4

enjoy...

authentique papers win again!!

great cut aparts make creating so much fun!!
and I still have 8 more to use!

this is what happens....oops

oops, this is what happens when you forget to wear gloves while working with alcohol inks....

luckily I did take off my white t-shirt!

and I have tiny little dots of blue that remained after I took the band aid off my finger.

here are the final results.

glossy cardstock, alcohol inks, white embossed stamp by Magenta.

I have been busy.....today.

I love it when I see something that would be perfect, and I have everything I need to make it!!

and it's mail-able!  going out tomorrow!

the butterflies pop out!

the little stamped images added to the sentiment

tomorrow I will finish my 4th of July cards and will post them!

Love that Authentique paper!

back.....

I found out I couldn't update my blog using the laptop....that's why I didn't post anything while in Michigan. 

So I'll start posting again soon - as soon as I have things to post ......

anniversary card for a special couple

water color and a favorite stamp

flash flooding in Oklahoma City

we had to pull off the highway and wait it out

can't believe no one stalled out and there were no accidents
we never saw anything like it before...and they seemed so used to it.

what!!!

snow!

today!
okay, in the upper elevations but just 30 minutes away!

slow stitching

slow stitching - heard of it?  me either until last week.  then I got bit.
so you wanna make something but not sure what or how much time you have...
wanna use up scraps, old pieces of family history
wanna have a theme and maybe create a collection to cherish and maybe pass on
wanna fill some "tuck spots"  a shelf, basket.....

wanna join me?

too much fun

a little scraps book

little and made with scraps
