Anyone have Teen Age boys?




This guy was a MO digi. I did two of them but already sent the blue one to my teenage grandson and failed to grab a picture of it. I thought the brown tones and geometrics really went together well and were very masculine. He is colored with Copics. I cut him with a rectangular Nestie, leaving the front end of the skateboard outside of the rectangle. The white around the boy was sponged using Soft Suede to make it not so stark. The skateboard has Crystal Lacquer for sheen and the front of it is popped up. Pretty sharp if I do say so myself. Enjoy

Doilies, Doilies everywhere

Wow - I've been bad with my postings huh? Been stamping up a storm but not sharing the results. Will try to do better, yada, yada, yada. Had fun at a friends house, using the new Stampin Up Doily set. The card was stamped first in Going Gray for a soft background, then stamped & embossed with black. She had scraps of this fancy ribbon. The flowers were made with a SU die cut and run thru an embossing folder. There is a cute Martha Stewart punch used to make a black layer between the two white layers, and a fancy plastic button piece makes the flower center Fun and different for me.




This one was also done using Doily. Stamped & embossed with White, colored in a little using Brilliant Blue & Chocolate Chip SU markers. The papers are Kraft, Navy & Brown. The brown layer was run through the SU Cuttlebug folder Trellis. The "Thinking of you" was embossed white and layered on Kraft and Navy pieces punched with SU punches. Both of the 'picture' portions are affixed with Pop Dots. Enjoy

Class Card 5 - Aqua Water

What a complex card. You can't imagine how many stamps are used to create this scene, or how they are used. So much to learn. How do you like that descriptive name - Aqua Water? Anyway, challenging but oh so fun.

2 Church Scenes

These two church scenes are quite different. I'm just playing with different layouts and stamps, etc. It's all a learning process.

Sea Scenes

Here are 2 nearly identical sea scenes that I have just completed. Not perfect, but I learned a lot by doing them.

Scenescape Swans

I am still taking Scenescape Lessons from Ken and am just having too much fun. This is my latest one. It is the first one I've done totally by myself, starting with a new stamp set, creating the layout, coloring with Copics and inks, etc., and I thought it turned out pretty good.

My Strawberry Girl


Isn't she just the cutest little gal? I made the strawberry background paper yesterday and thought it turned out quite well. She has 'diamonds' on the dress frills and in the corner. Love her!

And I do mean NOW!!!!


This little cutie sure can be bossy - what a doll. Hope you enjoy her.

2nd Post - Bad Hair Day...


Why did this blur? Now you can't see all the glitter on her clothing or the Crystal Lacquer on the balloons. You'll just have to take my word for it that she is adorable.

New Image - Boy & Dog - with cookie


What a cutie huh? His buddy so hopeful for a crumb. Oops, the card isn't going downhill honest - must have put it crooked on the scanner. For the past six months, I have been creating up a storm but not getting anything posted. I'll try to do better....
