Splashes of Watercolor

My dear friend Tammy passed this blogging award on to me.  It was so much fun reading her answers and then trying to give my answers (only one word, ha!)  That sounds hard!  Let’s see how I do. The Rules are: 1. You can only use ONE word!!! 2. Pass this along to 5 of […]

When I printed this little cardinal from the Season’s Tweetings stamp set from Angels Landing, I knew I wanted a rustic look but I also wanted the card to have a little elegance as well.  That’s how I ended up coloring with Prismacolor pencils on the kraft cardstock, then mounting it on the delicate white […]

Would you just look at that precious face??  I just can’t stop looking at it and smiling!  This little fella has complete stolen my heart! He’s one of the adorable Penguin Chicks from Angels Landing.  And I chose him to be on my Color Throwdown card this week.  The colors that LeAnne presented us with […]

I’m just finishing up my Halloween cards.  Good thing too, because some of them have to go to Virginia and some to Florida.  They’re all going in the mail today! These first 2 cards are for the 2 youngest granddaughters – ages 15 months and 6 months.  The 6 month old is dressing up as […]

This week’s Angels Landing challenge for the design team was to use sewing (real or faux.)  I chose to use my sewing machine…I certainly need the practice!  But I got so carried away coloring the image and matching the patterned paper that I almost forgot to use sewing at all! This is my newest favorite […]

I love this magical Christmas tree.  But I have to confess that I didn’t realize it was a tree at first.  After all, the name of the Rubbernecker stamp set is Snowflakes and Stardust.  And I used the swirly image as stardust on THIS CARD. So when my friends starting making comments about how I […]

This week’s Color Throwdown is being sponsored by Stamping Bella!!  And this is my first Ketto!  She’s just so sweet and sassy!! The colors Danielle has chosen this week are just perfect for highlighting the Bellas: I’ve used Suzette Ketto and framed her in a split Top Note die cut layer.  She’s colored with Prismacolor […]

I used Random.org to generate a winner of last week’s Angel’s Landing blog hop candy, and the winning number was 27. That’s Nancy, who said …  Nancy  on 14 Oct 2009 at 1:40 pm AWWWW this is gorgeous! Love all about it! Hugs, Nancy;O) Congratulations, Nancy!! I’ll be contacting you shortly!

I had a lot of fun playing around while making the background for this card.  It all started with a glossy magazine page. I used an alcohol ink blending tool and 3 different colors of alcohol ink (the same way you’d do it on glossy cardstock or a manila tag).  Then I stamped the Leaf […]

I’d like to thank Pam and all the super nice ladies at the new Just Us GirlS blog (don’t you love that acronym??) for awarding me the Chic of the Week #2 award for my Addy TUDE card!  Here’s the super cute award button that I’ll be adding to my sidebar. If you haven’t checked […]
