My Sister Sends Me Things

My sister, Dianne, is wonderfully generous, and sends me all manner of stamping goodies. Sometimes she sends me stamped images. I coloured this one with pencil crayons and made this card for her. Thanks again, Dianne!

And thank you, Jeannie, for giving me this gorgeous paper. I think it is called Washi paper. What wonderful friends I have!

When a Design Works

The most challenging part of  making cards for me is the design or layout process.  So, when I find one I like I tend to use it a few times.  Here are a few cards I made recently with some new Inkadinkado stamps I bought at Jo-Ann Fabrics and Crafts in Palm Desert.

Faith

Paper crafters know all about faith.  We enter swaps and mail our precious creations afar.  Sometimes we put our faith in the post office and things go horribly wrong.

Happy New Year!

Yeah, I know, I'm a bit late, but I wanted to make sure that my Vintage Collage ATC group received their swaps before I posted mine here.

Hangin' with the Athletes

Not really - we common folks can't get close to Olympic Village.  Just outside the Village, though, are some of the "Houses", where the public is welcome to enjoy being with the athletes.
