My daughter really enjoyed this year's dance competition. She said it went by too quickly. What she missed most was the friendship with her dance group...and the choreographers. The photos below were taken by a professional. I'm beyond proud of the hard work she put into the dances. 🙂
These two months are just slipping by. Cakes a friend made for my girls' birthday party last month. She is super talented in the art of cake making and decorating! Daffodils and snow in late March. Always love it when the fog rolls in. Daughter's confirmation. Very proud that she accomplished this while she is... Continue Reading →
For the flowers, since I don't have a variety of ephemera colors I decided to cut some digital flowers out with the Silhouette Portrait, then color them/color over them. I also don't have a lot of stencils since I'm new to stenciling I had the Silhouette also cut the words and the triangle shapes on... Continue Reading →

Die cuts from Wilna Furstenberg. Cut them out with the Silhouette Portrait then stenciled them using gel matte medium with some white acrylic paint. For the grayish colors behind the other cut outs, I used calligraphy ink by Parker, and added a little bit of water to lighten up the ink. Patterned paper by Amy... Continue Reading →
Writing with paint was a challenge. I used Wilna Furstenberg's premade script and painted over it as she did but it's not as easy as she made it seem. I enjoyed it though and hope to continue working on my text painting. Used Amy Tangerine patterned paper and ephemera pieces by Teresa Collins. Love badge... Continue Reading →
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?
