Hey All!!!
Is that you who is wearing that amazing perfume??? You smell great!
There will be no video tonight. . .For some reason, my video is taking way to long to upload to YouTube. So it's the old format for tonight. Can you tell I just don't have the patience to deal with technical problems tonight?
Here are my cards that I would like to share with you.
Remember the card I made with the fireplace that used a battery operated tea light? Remember the little tiny portrait of a little black pug above it? Yep, this is another card for that neighbor lady. I made this card for her to give to her from her beloved Marley. She is kind of alone and I wanted to be sure that she got a Valentine. This is a Mo Manning image and it so looks like her little Marley. It's colored with my colored pencils and oms. I put on some gloss on her nose for a shiny, wet look.
I made this thank you card for a very sweet neighbor who just gave me two giant grocery sacks full of stamps! She is giving up stamping for now and wanted me to have them. I am so grateful and wanted to make a thank you card to let her know. The image is from Hero Arts colored with Bic markers with glitter added for sparkle. I USED MY SEWING MACHINE AGAIN! Simple straight stitch, but I think it looks pretty good for only my 3rd time using it.
This last card is for her sister who lives just a couple of houses down from her. I watched her sweet dogs for her while she was away for a few days, and she was very generous with compensation. I just wanted to let her know how much I appreciated it. This card is out of my comfort level because I combined 3 different patterns of DP (all The Paper Studio). I added liquid pearls to the image for texture. The ribbon used to be black and white, but I "dyed" it with Antique Linen distress ink to go better with the color scheme of the card.
Well that's it for now. . .I've had to stop several times in typing this because typing makes my forearm feel like it is on fire. The elbow is better (for the most part), but it is taking a lot of time to heal because my care for Jay requires me to lift him out of bed to get him into his chair each morning, and other various uses during the day. So it is slow, but I'm going to keep going to see if I can't do this on my own without another shot.
Pic of the Week
This sweet little fox is new to the neighborhood. This was taken in my side yard this past weekend. It is hunting voles. From his size and face, I can tell he is a young pup and still hasn't learned to fear humans as much as he should. He has certainly made himself famous around the neighborhood. He drives my boys nuts! LOL
Well, thanks so much for stopping by. I'm SO SORRY that I haven't made it to everyone's blogs in the last couple of weeks, but I swear I'm working on it. It just kinda hurts (it has taken me over two hours to type this!) It is all YouTube's fault!!! Anyway, I will be catching up with all of you in the coming week! Promise!
Hope you are all doing well. Hugs to everybody!
Love you guys!
