Wednesday October 1, 2025

Hello and Fall is in the air 

We have a new challenge over at 

Do-Al(l)Creative #106

Theme: Easel

I thought this time I would try a landscape easel vs. portrait.. I think I like the portrait style better but this was fun.. Picked different designer papers from Stampin up and stamped the boots.. I like rain boots with designs on them so this was fun creating. cut them out. Found a blue that could represent water and cut out a frame area and mounted it on a white A2 size. Stamped the "a little note" and then added the boots.. I creased the card base for the easel part and added the boot piece to that. 

Opened the easel part and added the "sweet friend"

Monday September 8, 2025

Hello

We have a new challenge over at

Make my Monday #260

Theme: Fun with stencils

I was over to another friends house and got to use her craft room and create. I found this Gina K stencil and so I used my Quick Quote chalk ink and created this lovely design.  I brought it home and finished creating the card adding the sentiment and heart. I softly went around the white area with my blending brush that probably had Ranger ink on it that was blue. Just to soften the white.  I am sending this to my daughter and son in law this month.
