This is my March 14th entry in the Heart's Quest challenge. The theme this time is Easter and the card must include a heart. I added a small heart ti the train engine. I used a cute die set to make the train. Unfortunately, I do not have the manufacturer. I searched online and can no longer find it. I cut a few of these for Easter cards for my grandsons. They took forever to cut. I imagine the rest will take about that long to put together.
I made this card for Farm Quest's challenge, anything goes. This dies are by The Greetery called Rolling Hills, Countryside, and Tree Details Die. It is quite interesting to cut and put together.It took a very long time. It was fun for a change. .I plan on making another using different accessory dies, but it will be a while before I get around to it.

Heart Quest Challenge Blog for February 28
The latest challenge at Heart Quest Challenge Blog starts today. The challenge is Happy Anniversary and must include a "heart." Every month I forget the heart and have to go back, put it on and re-photograph the card. I used an image from Mo's Digital Pencil. I colored the image with Copic markers. I made this card for my husband, Tom. We will be married 47 years on May 19th. We have been through so much together. Raising three kids, moving cross country, dealing with serious medical issues when we had to be care taker for each other and him losing his job when we had three kids about ready to go to college. We survived it all and are stronger because of it.

Alphabet Challenge - "W" is for Water
These are my Valentine's card for Lucas and Ethan. I used two Spellbinder's Mailbox die sets. My husband doesn't care for these cards at all, but I'm out of time so it is what it is. I'm not very fond of them either. I unfortunately forgot to photograph Logan's card that I mailed to Michigan. My daughter said she would send me a photo so I can add it.
I saw this card on Pinterest and just had to make it! My photographing in the early morning light is not the best, but I decided to go with it. I traced it back to a Stampin' Up Demonstrator who lists the card as made by Dawn & Glenn Zdziarski. I was unable to find any other information. I tried to find information about casing a card and couldn't find anything on that either. My card is not an exact duplicate, but it is very similar so I thought I would give them credit. I will not enter it in any challenges since it is not all my original work. Tom designed the card measurements for me so I could fit everything on it. It's 8.5 inches tall. I will probably send this to one of my family members that has had someone very important pass since cardinals have a lot of meaning.
This is a die set by Elizabeth Craft Designs. I thought it was adorable! It fits in with the February Christmas Card Challenge at Splitcoast. The theme this month is bricks. I am doing three cards a month so two more brick cards to go! I embossed the Merry Christmas in silver. I don't really like it, but i didn't have an ivory embossing powder and white was too bright with all the ivory on the card.

Today starts the February Challenge at Morgan's ArtWorld Challenge Blog. I chose the image Bald Eagle. I colored this image with Prismacolor pencils and soft pastels. It took quite a while to find just the right paper. My stockpile of designer papers is quite extensive and not sorted well at all. That's something I'll need to work on in the future.
I am starting a series of tousled hair boys. This is the first, "Irish Eyes." I grew up believing I was half Italian. When...
