Birthday Cards

 

For my eldest niece and her stepmom, both April birthdays.

For my niece's I used the card sketch here.

More lettering to Revisit

 

Greeting Card Idea

 From an old sketchbook, here's an idea for greetings done on watercolor backgrounds:

Happy Birthday

 

Still Going Through Journals...

 to see what I might want to revisit.

I forgot how much I like Art Nouveau letters...

and a mandala made from an Eiffel Tower stamp!  This stamp is included in an alphabet set called Paris Lower from My Sentiments Exactly. The way the shape forms the mandala is an idea that I want to let percolate for awhile.

Spiral Roses

 

Pencil Crayon Weaver Writing

 This monoline weaver writing could be done with fine felt tip markers too!

I keep learning the same things in church, by the way.  Maybe I should say "hearing"; I may not be too good at "learning" them.  Thankfully, our God is a forgiving God!

Neuland

 Not a great example, but I do want to revisit this!

Lettering Variations

 

Lettering in a Square

 

Watercolour Gridlines

Still working on clearing out my studio, I'm looking at old journals to see what I might want to revisit.  I haven't done these watercolour grid lines in awhile!

Published

 

I'm cleaning out some old magazines, including those I was published in.  I'm trying to decide whether digitizing is enough or whether I should create a portfolio of originals...

Any thoughts?

Go Tell it On the Mountain

 

I feel like I am late starting on Christmas cards this year, but I finished three today.  Started is good. Thankfully, I have lots left from last year.

More Pattern Play

 

Vacation

I'm on "vacation" from my church work this week, and I was inspired to make some bookmarks.  I've been doing a lot of reading lately, and posting on my other blog.  The link is We Are Not Alone in case you want to read my musings.  We are made to be creative in some way!

Still Inspired

I thought I was finished with the Christmas cards, but I continue to be inspired by grids and what is in my stash.

I love these little stamps by Studio G but I've never figured out how to use them.  It turns out they go nicely on this paper that I love but couldn't figure out either!

Puzzle Stamps

I've always loved Magenta images, and their puzzle stamps are among my favorites.  

 It was this photo from growveg.com that inspired me to get out the puzzle stamps.  

This photo is inspiring me still to do some other things - but Christmas cards first!

Six More!

This is today's output from the card factory. 

Glitter Book

 

These trees are made from glitter paper - perfect for the sparkly season!

Speaking of Grab Bags

 

Years ago (at Eatons department store!), I bought a grab bag of postage stamps.  The bag included some Christmas stamps, and they inspired these mosaic cards.
