I have a friend who loves vintage stuff, so I made her the phone from SVG Cuts Call Me Later kit. She takes great pictures, doesn’t she. I will also make her the typewriter and the camera to add to her collection. Having fun again!!

Missing My Kids

I’ve been missing my kids, who live in California, so I started making them some cards. Here’s the first one. I decorated the envelope on the outside with Unity Stamps set Sending My Love. The map is from Life is a Journey and the tack and sentiment from Here For You. I’m in Texas and they are where the wooden heart is. On the base of the card I used the aqua gauze paper and added speckle through a stencil to get the bubbles on the sea. I also used a bit of glitter and a few sequins.

Cascading Wedding Card

I haven’t been able to post because my uncle has been in the hospital, but I took some time today to make a wedding card for my friends, Joel and Debbie Minjares.

I was inspired by a post I saw on Pinterest. It’s really a simple card to make; just follow the tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers. The paper was K and Company Elegance and Susan Winget Botanical specialty papers. The flowers are them Michael’s and Prima Co.

SVG Cuts Dress Shop SVG Kit

I bought the Dress Shop SVG Kit from SVG Cuts last week and made the complete set. I’ve decided that if I buy a kit, I must use it; even if it’s just for my own pleasure.

Here are some of the photos:

In the previous post I posted the projects I have created up to 2010.

My creative journey has taken me to wanting to learn new techniques so I took a class on line on how to draw mixed media faces with Suzi Blu Gypsy Art School where I learned to draw these faces:

Using graph paper as a guide to draw a face

Journaling page and drawing my niece in the hospital after brain surgery

One of the mediums I’ve always had trouble with, but tried my best to learn is watercolor. I bought some classes from My Frugal Crafter, Lindsey Weirich.
