Never Too Old

 Hi! 

You know I can't resist a card with a little bit of Sass.    I used a red marker to make her lips red.  I love the classic look of the red, white, and black card.

Is modern grunge a thing?  Well... it might be now.   The theme this month at Technique Junkies is vintage.  If you follow me... you know that is a tough theme for me.   Sometimes that is the best... it challenges you to think outside the box.   I love this card.  Check out the video to see how I made it.

Power of Wine with Tilda-- Video

Hello again,

I'm back with another video tutorial.  I'm coloring up one of my favorite stamps.  I discovered Tilda about 10 years ago.  One of the reasons I loved these images is she is great for copic practice.  I know she is not everyone's favorite, but if you want to see how I made the card I have a video for you.

Here is the link to the video.  Be sure you are on youtube or the blog to watch.  It will not play in email.

Kiss Me I'm Irish

Hey friends,

Quick warning before you scroll down.  This card not for everyone.  Please proceed with care. 

St. Patrick's Day cards can be tough to create.  There are not a lot of stamps for this holiday.   There are even fewer stamps that are funny.   I saw this guy and he made me laugh.  What do you think?  Did he make you chuckle?

Coffee Cat

Greetings,

If you follow along, you know I'm not a coffee drinker.  However, coffee stamps are some of my favorite.   This cat looks proud of himself in his coffee cup.    The inside of this card says "because adulting is hard".

Hey Sweet Pea!

Hello friends,

There is a new card challenge on the House Mouse blog this week.  I used Pea Pod Nap to create this sweet card.   I had a hard time deciding what greens to use to color the pea pod. In the end I picked colors that match the decorative paper.   It pairs perfectly with this sentiment from Hero Arts (retired).    If you like snarky cards, I made an alternate version and posted it below.
