Shutter Happy!

My little blog is being neglected - but I am in photography mode right now. I shot this of a sweet little neighbor. I hope it makes you smile, too.

Leather and Lace

Where has 24 years gone? Actually, 26 if you count the friendship and the dating. This is from my Picture color class. I don't remember the assignment -but the Stevie Nicks song got stuck in my head and here is the picture that resulted. He is the leather and I am the lace. Corny...sure...but I like it.

I am back...working on wedding albums..again!

Well...I have been busy with Picture Color class over at Big Picture Classes. I just finished 30 days of color with Tracey Clark. What fun and I learned a great deal from some wonderful photographers. I may start to add photographs to my humble blog. The first is of my Walker. He is starting High School...my baby in High School. Frankly - he was only a baby for twelve months and they he learned to walk and has been running after the big dogs every since. :)

What a hoot

These are not my normal colors, but this little owl seems content dressed in them. I think it is a perfect from for a graduation, congratulations or for any other occasion you give a hoot about and want to give a shout out.

I like to have some "half done" cards to finish quick when I need them. This little guy is perfect for that.

Have a spendid week.

Forever Young 2011 Graduation Card

So another round of graduation parties has begun and I find I simply cannot resist my old friend Forever Young. It is perfect for the quote I found for my card. (I actually found the quote on a little notebook in a local boutique and tweaked it to make it my own). I used Model 17 and the Glitter Ritz glitter is the finishing bling every girl card needs. I hope you enjoy taking a peak.

For those...like me...who need reading glasses - the quote is "She packed up all her potential, and everything she had learned, and a cute pair of shoes...and headed out the door to change the world.

Trying A Digital Page

I have had this software for a long time, but I never really figured it out. This is my first attempt. At this point, I am much faster with Paper, Cricut and adhesive. It was fun, neat and I really did enjoy the process.

Sentimental Butterfly

 

This is a birthday greeting for my friend Kim. The "Sentimentals" butterfly is really fanciful. I am in a Pink, Brown and Teal mood..and trying to refrain from doing all of my current projects in pink and orange. :) The stamps are Hero Arts and The Stamps of Life. Hope you enjoy looking.

Just a note. I attached the butterfly only on one side and used the "negative" of the pink lace layer on the underside of the butterfly wing. I folded the wing down so to put it in the clear envelope and it POPS up when you take it out.

I am addicted to the "Gitter Ritz" glitters. I get them at Rubber Rainbows in Tremont IL...a sweet little stamp store that recently moved here from Galesburg. I taught classes there about 15 years ago. It has new owners but the same sweet heart in a much more convenient location.
