LAZY BOY

Hey All!

No, I'm not referring to a comfortable piece of furniture as the title of this post would imply.  It refers to me and what I am.  It has been a hectic week and a disappointing week for me.  So there is nothing for me to post tonight.  I did not have the desire or energy this week to even think about crafting.  So until next week. . .I hope you are all well and doing well!  No need to comment, I'll certainly understand.  I will be by some time in the next few days to see what you've been up to!

Hugs,

Curt

THE WEDNESDAY EVENING POST FOR FEBRUARY 13, 2013

Hey All!

Welcome back to another edition of the Wednesday Evening Post!  I hope those of you on the east coast have dug yourselves out of that horrendous blizzard you all had.  Good Lord that was a lot of snow!  I've marveled at the pictures I've seen.  I hope you are all OK.

I have a couple of new cards to share with you.  If you've followed me for any length of time, you know I'm a sucker for cute and whimsical images.  Well, these following cards scream of both!  Take a look:

Like the sentiment says, this card also makes me smile.  The snail and the frog are stamps by Stacey Yacula and the little mushroom and dragonfly are from other stamps sets I have.  I just want to hug their little faces!  They are colored with watercolor pencils. . .actually everything in this little scene is done in watercolor.  I added the brad because it had spots like the frog.  You'll be seeing the snail in another upcoming project.

Here's the next one:

LOL!  This one makes me laugh.  This pig is a Hambo digital stamp which is one of my favs.  You can't see it very well in the photo, but the "brown" hill was ran through the crimper to look like plowed rows, but it doesn't show up in the photo very well.  The little tree was perfect size for this scene and is a stamp from PTI.  I drew the clouds by hand and cut them out, then added sparkle to their outline (which you also can't see very well), and the sky was sponged with distress ink.  I fussy cut the pig and balloon out and popped him up with dimensional tape as well as one of the clouds for additional depth.  The pig and balloon were colored with my cheap colored pencils.  It is really cute irl.

So, there you have it. . .that is what came out of my head this week.  I'd love to know what you think of them.  As always, I thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to come and see me.

THE WEDNESDAY EVENING POST FOR FEBRUARY 6, 2013

Hey All!

Gosh it's good to see you!  I'm sorry I wasn't here last week, but I was busy looking for my mojo. . .I found something for this week, but I'm not sure I've found all of it.  So if you happen to see it, could you send it back to me please?  Thanks!

Can you believe Valentines Day is a week from tomorrow???  Usually I say something about time flying, but not in this case. . .Valentines Day means being that much closer to Spring!  I don't know what it is about this winter, but I've just about had it and can't wait for it to be warmer. . .I must really be getting older huh?  LOL  On to what I have to share with you tonight. . .

I don't particularly like Valentines Day. . .I hated it when I was a kid and I'm not fond of it now.  But, I will send a few cards for the occasion, so here are a few. . .

I used one of the bird stamps from DEADBEAT DESIGNS to make this one.  I really like Mark's birds because they are so versatile.  Mark has had examples where they are holding something in their little beaks (including a heart) so I got the idea for him to hold a heart which I cut out from DP.  I used an Exacto knife to make a slit to slide the heat in.  I used plain ole' Bic markers to color the bird in Valentine colors.  Quick and easy! 

Here is another version using the same idea but with the little bird giving the heart to a little friend. . . awwwwwww.  I added Stickles to their little spots for some sparkle.

And finally, this one.  This is made using a Hampton Arts stamp set.  I stamped the hearts inside each of the domes then Stickled them to death.  But it gives it lots of sparkle for such a simple card.  I wanted to keep them all fairly simple because I can't do much more missing my mojo like I am. . .humpf 

Pic of the Week

How cute is this little one????  He was all fluffed up and sitting on the courtyard fence looking into my window.  So I ran and got my camera and fortunately he was still there.  I shot this through the glass of the window so it is not as clear as I like my photos to be.  BTW, does anyone know what kind of bird this is????  I just think he is beautiful and I've not seen one before.  Looks like a cross between a blue bird and a robin.

OK, that's it for this post.  I've been having problems with blogger too. . .My videos aren't showing up for some reason.  Hope it is something they did and not me.

Thanks for coming to see me.  Hope you enjoyed your stay because I always enjoy you stopping by.  I'll see you soon on your blogs to see what you've been up to sometime this weekend!

Hugs to everyone!

Curt
