Polar Bears

I found these Stampin' Up stamps at a yard sale. I just love them. I colored them with Copics. The one on the right has a background cut out on the Cricut.

Christmas Cards

I also bought this stamp set at a yardsale. I absolutely love it! Since I live in the desert it will be ideal to send this to my back-east friends and family. It is a Stampin' Up image and I colored it with Copics.

This card is for Isabella's Final Design Team Challenge-Make Your Own Flowers. I loved how simple this card turned out. I borrowed the idea of the white gel pen dots from Isabella. I just really loved the look; couldn't resist! I will miss her challenges.

This image is from Sassy Cheryl. No matter how many times I photographed it, it still looks washed out!

We're not in Kansas anymore.

This digi is from Mo's Digital Pencil. I can't wait to do the next in the series. I'm making a set of notecards for my daughter for Christmas as a stocking stuffer.

Cookin' With Wine

I just couldn't resist this Bugaboo image! Although, I can't seen to tolerate wine at all. Major headaches!!!

Happy Halloween!

I made this card the other night, but didn't complete it. When I saw Sassy Cheryl's challenge this week "Polka Dots," I figured I'd use this card even though none of the papers had dots. Fortunately, I had some polka dot buttons. The white stitching and spider web is done with a gel pen.

Wrought Iron and Tulips

This card was made for Isabella's Sketchbook Challenge #19-Buttons 'n Bows. I colored the picture about a month ago and was waiting for a project to use it for. I used paper and cardstock from my scrap pile (trying to use it up.) The silk ribbon is from the Stamp Simply ribbon store. I think I'm keeping them in business. No other ribbon compares in my opinion. I used Bow Easy to tie it perfectly. Buttons are from my grandmother's button collection.

Tom's Latest Guitar Project

These are the abalone inlaid knobs. Just beautiful!



The back of the neck shows koa laminated with maple for strength.



One of my favorite pics. I love the way the copper looks.



Koa has a beautiful grain.

What's Cookin' ?

This card was made for Isabella's Challenge #18 - Chill Out. This week the challenge is "Chill Out" using blues n greens!! I probably should have used a pale green ribbon, but didn't have any. The background paper is a pale green, but doesn't really appear that way in the photo.

Happy Birthday, Sandy!

I just love this new image from Mo's Digital Pencil. Happy 28th Birthday, Sandy!

Pool Baby

This card was mads for Mo's Digital Pencil, Challenge #39. I colored this one with Stampin' Up markers and am not real happy with the results. i'm used to using Prismacolor pencils. I thought I'd try something different. Hopefully, I'll be able to start purchasing Copic markers at some point.

Pretty Pink Flowers

This card was made for Isabella's Challenge #15, Take a Break-Open Challenge. I was in the mood for a very feminine card after finishing birthday cards for my son and son-in-law. This fit the bill, perfectly! The beautiful silk ribbon is from "No Time to Stamp."

See, Hear and Speak No Evil

I made this card for Sassy's Cheryl's Challenge #19. This was alot of fun to make. I had colored the image a few days ago and I didn't know what I wanted to do with it. This challenge was ideal. I used paper from October Afternoon's Fly A Kite collection. I didn't have any premade flowers on hand so I printed these digis (a freebie from Isabella's)colored them and roughed them up a bit. Thanks for looking!

Honey of A Bear

I'm entering this in Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #18 to use a combination of kraft, light blue and peach. This bear is just adorable! The ribbon is from "No Time to Stamp?" and the cardstock is from DCWV. This was colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. Thanks for looking!
