  • Fifth Avenue Flower

      It's a cold and windy day and this card is just perfect for this type of day.  You can't get more cheerful than a bright yellow card, can you? I cheated a little and did not use all SU products (gasp!!).  I wanted this ribbon for the card – the black gingham I had…

  • Rachel

    I have to share this photo with you.  My friends say I spoil my granddaughter and namesake.  But I want to lay that rumor to rest once and for all. As you can see we make her work for her upkeep!  Aren't they cute  at that stage when they want to help.  Too bad it…

  • Great Friend

  • Decorating Eggs

    Isn't that stamp image so cute!  I just love the expressions on the rabbits and chick's faces!  It's called Decorating Eggs and is from Victoria Case Art Designs.  The image was stamped in black using Versafine Black Onyx on watercolor paper (Arches Hot Pressed 140lb).  That my favorite for watercoloring because it is so smooth. I stamped it…
