Take Two

Me again...

I've done a little more playing this week, more images to share.

I'm so taken with anything Vintage these days, trying to reflect that in my cards.
Most of these papers etc. have been in my stash forever - time to use it or lose it, I say.
Thanks to inspirations & sketches from some of my favorite websites.
Biblios.
I think this tag is My Mind's Eye, the papers are Basic Grey.

Birdsong. BG papers again

Bloom Where you're planted.
K&Co. and DCWV papers - seed packets are also K&Co.

Grow.
Another seed packet experiment (I love these!) K&Co. and Stampinup papers

and just for fun - another painting that I finished recently. It's meant to go with an earlier one as a pair...

Sometimes you just gotta try....

*Brushing back cobwebs* Achooo! it's a mess in here...

Someone left a little device on my computer desk, so I thought I'd give it a try - what have I got to loose after all? Don't know what this thing's called, but you insert camera card and plug it in - instant download.

Amazingly, it worked. And just in time - I had lots of time off this week, so I've been playing with some Christmas gifts that had yet to be opened.

Just a few little cards to share with you...

Firstly, some Valentines I made with my gran's in mind.

This one is for my little gremlin Ellie (She's unique and not conventional in any way.)

This one is for Millie-Moo.
She was over one day (a couple of years ago,) when I told her I was going to leave for a bit to go to a Quickutz warehouse sale.
She pleaded to come with me, so we loaded up and went - just the 2 of us.
We had a fun day. She enjoyed looking at all the fun shapes (and was very patient with grandma as she made the rounds more than once.)
I rewarded her patience by treating her to lunch at one of my favorite teenage hangouts.
She still remembers the stories I told her as we sat there.
(Hey, somebody's got to document granny's life...)
She picked out this dress die that day. This is the first occasion I've had to use it.
I'm hoping she'll view the card not only as a sign of grandma's love, but also as a reminder of a fun day we spent together.

This one is for Miss Jane (Arilie)

I made these two to try out the Martha Stewart doilies I recently got in the mail.
I've been looking for them forever, and finally found some on ebay...



I've had these cute owls (K&Company) in my stash forever, time to do something with them or give them away...

My oldest daughter hates Valentines. I was thinking of her when I put this one together... (Looking for some rhinestone hearts to add some bling.)

That's the sum total of my creating to date - that should do me for another 6 months... right? (LOL)
