Hi there!
I know it's been forever again since my last post and I want to thank those of you who left comments, sent messages, and emails to ask where I've been. I've been here - well, not right here at my blog, but I'm around on the web all the time. Mostly over on Instagram, but on Flickr too, running the Simon Says Stamp group over there. I love doing that but it takes up a lot of my time.
I have also been visiting many of your blogs, looking at everyone's amazing creativity but I just don't always have time to comment and I feel so bad about that! It's something that I really love doing and I miss it!
I've been very busy with work, family life and gearing up toward retirement too. There is so much to think about and do when planning to retire. It's scary and exciting all at the same time. My hubby and I will both be officially retired at the end of this year, and I know I'll have more time then, to get back to commenting more on all of your wonderful blogs. Can't WAIT!
Anyway, I've also been creating. . . . .A LOT! No, really I have! Here's the proof:
Love this stamp by Clearly Besotted! Lots of water coloring on this one.
Another Clearly Besotted image - this time colored with Copics.
Here's a beautiful image from Penny Black - water coloring again.
And another Penny Black image, colored with Copics.
LOVE the Crazy Birds set by Tim Holtz! I used a Simon Says Stamp die-cut as a stencil to create a fun background for this funny guy!
These are all little stamps by Art Impressions and they are soooo fun to watercolor!
More pots with flowers but this time from WPlus9. I stamped and die-cut the flowers and colored the pots with Copics.
Last one. Love the "shadow technique!" Stamped these adorable flowers, by Simon Says Stamp, first in white pigment ink, then over top of that with Audrey Blue ink from SSS. Love the look on kraft cardstock!
Sorry no links to products but if you have any questions, just let me know!
Thanks for stopping by! I always appreciate your visits and comments! ♥
Hi there!
Time sure does get away from me lately! Can't believe it's been so long again since my last blog post. And how in the heck can the month of June be over already?! Why is it that the summer months always go by so darn fast?!
I've got three more cards to share with you, using some more WPlus9 goodies. I really love Dawn's newest release!
The first two cards were created using her gorgeous, Watercolored Anemones stamp set. It's a beauty!
As you can see, it's a layering stamp set, which is so popular right now. Loved playing with this one!
My third card is a cutsie one. Anyone who knows me, knows I don't "love" to create with cutsie stamps - only because I don't feel comfortable in that style of cardmaking, but Dawn's designs are always soooo adorable! I mean, just look at that darling giraffe image!
Isn't he the cutest?! I used the Party Animal set. The "moon" was created using the balloon image which comes with the set.
Both of these stamp sets come with matching dies too!
That's it - short and sweet today. Hope you are all having a great week with lots of crafty time!
Thanks for the visit!
