I used a rolling pin and bubble wrap to create the stamps. The acrylic paint brand I used is Reeves. They were a little on the darker side so I mixed a little bit of white in. The journaling flower is from an ephemera set from awhile ago so I don't know the brand. The... Continue Reading →
Ordered 12x12 prints from Persnickety Prints during their sale. I think Persnickety has the best price and quality for 12x12 prints. Prints are $1.99 per sheet and the sale was 25% off per sheet.
A gift from a co-worker from my last job for my birthday (which is in December) in 2004. I guess I could just wear this scent and not have to wear green and I shouldn't get pinched, right?
The photo challenge for week 9 was "memory." I went with two that mean a lot to me: Dune by Christian Dior and the white orchid. Dune was given to me by a co-worker when I was about 21 years old and worked at a bank. She was a french lady with the cutest french... Continue Reading →
This one was only 2. She turned another year older this month too.
I'm taking an online class at Studio Calico called Color Theory by Wilna Furstenberg. It's a crafty paint type of class and it's strictly fun but I'm learning a lot more than I had imagined. The first week covered impasto. I didn't have pink acrylic paint (is there such a thing as pink acrylic paint?)... Continue Reading →

I was working full-time when she was a toddler so I really didn't get to spend as much time as I had wanted with her. I'm very grateful to have that opportunity now... Continue Reading →
I had fun this month with the camera. Enjoy these... The family Keeshond, Teddy. She is the sweetest dog ever. She follows me everywhere and just plops down by my feet and sleeps. With husband, she's a little different. She'll wag her tail, jump on him, and want to play with him. Another thing about... Continue Reading →
I used Photoshop CS6 to create the first two layouts and the Project Life App to create the last two (which I have made smaller and put them side by side). The kits used in creating these layouts are: Project52, Kraft Edition, Plus One Mini Kit by Amy Tangerine, and Once Upon A Poppy by... Continue Reading →
I created the above paper layout by following the steps from Wilna Furstenberg at Studiocalico.com. She used gel paint in her tutorial but I don't have gel paint so I used what was available to me, which was, gel matte medium, and acrylic paints. The intricate die cut was created by Wilna as a freebie. ... Continue Reading →
