Life goes on...

Wow it's been a couple of  months!  Time to post again.   The sun is out and the day is in the 70's with a little breeze and no humidity. After some shopping and re-potting my old and baby Aloe plants, I'm ready to sit and work here.

I've been busy with life's unexpected events.   We are now empty nested.  My nearly 22 year old GirlCat passed over the Rainbow Bridge not long ago.  She was a great kitty and I will miss her.  She is with her brother, BoyCat,  now lying next to him in her box in the ground along the backyard fence..   May they both rest in peace, together once again, this time forever.

I do have quite a few new cards to display.
 
Playing with dies

Dies add dimension


Fun with pretty paper.














More Pretty paper and added embellishments.

I love this die and layout.

Very simple card.  Coloring with Prismacolor pencils

I took an old ATC and mde this card.


Clean and simple with Washi and peel-offs

Still love this die.  But didn't reproduce well on scanner.  This paper is sparkley.

Another fav die, I put together the flower and punched up some butterflies.  Nice card.

Simple Card with embossing  red paper, some Washie tape and a really nice stamp to color.


Simple card using Copics and Prisma pencils. and of course some bling.

Big stamps are a challenge.  This actually worked well.  The scanner didn't pickup the gloss nor the sparkles.  More washie tape.

This card is so pretty with the gold foil embossed paper on the bottom. 

Practicing simplicity.

Probably one of my best cards ever made.

More of that gold paper with a small picture done in Copics with some bling.  More simplcity.

Love Baby cards.  This was fun with embossing.

This one's a little different.  Love those dies.

More simplicity.

This s simply stated in subtle colors.

Fun with paper and coloring the stamp.

Robots for my grand nephew!

Wasn't sure of the layout of this, but it seems to work.

This is a Spellbinders 3D embossing folder.  It looks awful on this page but it is full of bling.

Same embossing folder but with different theme,  

It's weird, but I love it. 
That's it for now...my work has been challenging and fun.  I never quite know what I'm going to do when I sit at my workbench. 
   Be well all!
