Hello

I really love this technique!+

An other pulled glimmer technique card but a completely different look!

Stamp from Magenta.

Bonheur toujours/Happiness always!

This card was done using the Pulled Glimmers technique from Technique junkie. A new way to create a raibow of color and shine from TJ Senior Designer Lisa Somerville. I like the result and the technique was fun to do!

Stamp from Magenta.

I'm sooooooooooooooo happy

I can't believe it ... I sold my first book today. In my post on " Bird Journal " I mentioned that I left the handmade book to a small shop for sale. I was hopping they would sell it but I was realistic!!!! Well they did and I can't tell you the feeling to know that someone loved my work enough to buy it... I never sold anything before.... it's hard for me to let go of what I create.

Who ever you are if you read this please know that you made me a very happy girl!!!

Pamphlet note book

RE-CYCLE, RE-USE, RE-BIND are the key words in this project.  Full of humor and whimsy, this “going green” project was such fun to style and build. The note book itself is done from a found packaging, the cover was reinforce and binded using the long stich.  Instead of just shopping for what’s in the package, now I also shop for the packaging as well.

Watered Watercolor Pencils quote card

This easel card was done using the " Watered Watercolor Pencils" (12-03) technique from TJ. It's an easy and fun technique and a nice way to make a different layout.

A wonderfull adventure and a new dimension to my Art

Hello

This winter while I was in Florida I took classes at the Owl and the Pussycat stamp boutique, Regina is a wonderful artist and makes the most beautiful Art projects.  Among those is "handmade artbooks".... I never thought I would become so passionate about this, at first it even scare me it seemed so complicated.  But, with Regina as a teacher and lots of patience I overcame my fears and am now mad about those.

The one you can see above " Sheer Delight" is my first, the it is done with the Coptic stitch, the cover and back is made of several layers of fabric and ornaments it has a Vintage look. It's a book of 8½ X 6 and has 64 writing/decorating pages.

I have an other one completed and will post it soon.

It does not mean I will stop my Cardmaking but I will combine these two form of art.

Hello

Have you been working with "Grunge Paper" from Adirondack.... I did and I love it!

A taste of Vintage!

I love all that is Vintage you can see it in those cards....

At last....

Hello

They say it's never to late to keep promises... well it took me a while but finally I am now taking some time to update my Blog... and, believe me I will try to never let it go for sooooo long.

During the winter I have not been very active in card making.  We where in Florida for 3 month and manage to take a cruise through that... It was awesome!!!

Simple but fun cards where done  using TJ technique " Faux Designer Paper " (12-08).  I did a full sheet and used it to make several cards.
