Go Ahead and Smile

 You know you are somebody´s reason to smile don´t you.....

 It is always a good thing to bring a smile to somebody´s face.

 It makes life that much more enjoyable.

These are some of the birthday cards I made for October.  I know a lot of  people who had

their birthday´s in October.....

Are you an October baby?

I am a January girl myself.....what month were you born in?

I am sharing this with Mandarin Orange Monday.

Small Joy

A quick little card....

I am sharing this over at Stempeloase. This is a brand new quote stamp

from Hero Arts.

Wishing you a good weekend!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

All the best to you in the coming new year!

I am sharing this card with Stampotique Designers.

Tis the Season

Tis the Season....in a rainbow of washi tape colors. 

Pick a color. 

Any color. 

 Maybe you are a purple person.

Or a pink person. 

I love the color orange.

I had fun using up some of my assorted washi tapes.

Some quick and easy Christmas cards.

I am sharing this with Take a Word.

You  know what they say don´t you...

A girl can never be too rich, too skinny or have

too much washi tape.

Angel

Another Christmas card.

A simple angel in oil pastel on a watercolor background.

Do you send out cards at Christmas or is it a fading tradition.

Maybe more and more people send Christmas email cards

instead.

Leave a comment and tell me if you send or don´t send.

I am sharing this with Paint Party Friday.

Paint Party Cards

I have been busy having a fun watercolor paint party here with

some greeting cards I have been making. 

Drawing some lines,,,filling them in with watercolor and then writing

a wish. 

Some happy hearts for you.

Have a happy weekend!

I am sharing these with Paint Party Friday.

What Art Needs

What does your art need? Solitude, Misery or Passion?

I am sharing this with Take a Word this week.

Don´t forget to enter my GIVEAWAY!

It closes at midnite on Thursday 15 March.

Three people, three giveaways.

Do I Have Enough?

Do I have enough? I think I need a few more,,,don´t you...

A few snaps of the goings on in my laboratory.

Now you know what I am up to when my blog is all quiet and you don´t

hear a word from me for days at a time.

I am hold up in my lab surrounded by paint and paper.

Hope you are having a nice Sunday afternoon.

Enjoy

I hope you are having an enjoyable Thursday.

I had a nice surprise in my mailbox today ...all the way from France.

Jacqueline sent me this lovely card with all those wine

labels! Wasn´t that nice of her!!

Merci Jacqueline!

Don´t forget to leave a comment on my GIVEAWAY!!

Color Chart

Made some quick cards with Gouache.

Spent last weekend in a Gouache workshop.

I really like the consistency of Gouache. After doing these

color charts I kept going and made a few cards with

the same idea.

Enjoy your weekend.

I am sharing this with Paint Party Friday.

Is it Snowing Yet?

Where is all the snow?

It seems strange that I have not yet had to

shovel my driveway and it is December.

December and almost Christmas...and no

snow in sight. I had to add some snowflakes

to these cards in glimmery, glitzy metallic inks.

I wonder if we will have a white Christmas this year.

How much snow have you had so far?

I am sharing my snowflakes with The Three Muses, Stampotique

and Less is Moore.

Flying High

Flying High

A quick one layer card.

Better check your flight path before taking off!

Simply Less is More.....masculine, legs and ink as my

prompt.

Peridot

Peridot

I have been painting a lot of green papers this week

for bookbinding projects. I used some of one of the

papers to make a quick card with one of my favorite quotes.

This is my entry to Created By Hand, Crazy Amigos and

Paint Party Friday.

Connections I

I Am the Connections That I Weave

I find one of the best points about blogging is that it allows me

to weave quite a few connections in many

different and interesting directions.

My trusty screw punch was again,,,called into action.

Various watercolor stripes are connected by metallic threads.

The quote is from Suzanne at Quiet Fire Design in Canada. She

has been busy creating new quotes as well as giving her website

a fresh coat of paint. Go connect for yourself.

I am linking this to Simply Less is Moore as well as

Created by Hand which is Quiet Fire´s weekly challenge.

You Sparkle

You Sparkle

Somebody should really take my ink pen away from me.

I don´t know what is more addictive....punching swiss cheese

type holes in everything with my screw punch or doodling

on every piece of paper I can find.

Hope your day sparkles!

My entry to One Layer Wednesday.

More or Less

Just Be You

I like geometric shapes. I added a bit MORE on this

card by doodling around each shape with my trusty

pilot pen. I like to doodle.

Here is how it looked before I jazzed it up.

A lot LESS without the black contrast.

I like both versions but I will let you decide for yourself.

What do you think?

This is my entry to Simply Less is Moore.

Cupcakes

Cupcakes

My little cupcakes fit right in over at

Crazy Amigos. I would not have done another post

about anything to eat but they twisted my arm and

made me do it.

You may remember a cupcake from awhile back or even

this strawberry cake. You can look cause they are calorie

free.

Outside My Window

Outside My Window

Outside my window I see many different

flowers....all in beautiful bloom.

I stamped a flower and doodled a frame

with my trusty pilot pen.

This is my entry to Wednesday Stamper,

Created By Hand and Less Is Moore.

Vamos a la Playa

Vamos a la Playa

I find it hard to belive that summer is almost here.

Whenever I think of summer I think of the beach.

I don´t live anywhere near the ocean. I have in the

past and I miss the sea air, the carefree atmosphere

that seems to abound near the water and all that

bright sunshine.

Today I painted a miniature watercolor of my

favorite beach.

What are your memories of summers gone by?

This is my entry for Crazy Amigos, One Layer Wednesday,

Paint Party Friday , Stampotique Designers,

and The Summer of Color.

Life

Life

I painted some watercolor swatches of various

blue shades, stamped some numbers and a

quote onto a white card.

I think the washi tape adds just the right touch,

don´t you.
