Oh My Gosh today was the day that I put both of my children on the Bus. Sammy is going into K and Sloane is in 2nd. I am now a stay home mom with no one at home anymore during the day, so I guess my title will change ???. I now have no reason not to post when I am supposed to, this summer has been so busy and has gone by so…
Hope you were able to get outside and enjoy this gorgeous weather. I can’t believe it is so cool out. It was great to take a cool walk and cut my grass with a nice breeze this morning.

Well today is the first day of school for our county. This morning as the buses were pulling into the parking lot at the school across the street I was taking my morning walk. Ahhh life is good being retired! In honor of the first day of school I have used Julie’s color concoction to create this card. I got the image in an image swap I participated in last month. I thought it would…

Ahhh! I realized after posting this that my sentiment is crooked. Oh well, can’t do anything about it now but will have to fix it before I send it (mmm… maybe, just shows the fact that it is handstamped and not perfect!). I have been having a blast using my Penny Black images. I just love Hedgehogs. Anybody know of any other companies that make cute hedgehog stamps? I relaly like the layout of this…
I have been experimenting some more with markers and a blending pen to create shading. I used Blush Blossom and Close to Cocoa on the cat to create his shaded fur. I am still working my a variety of cardstock to see the one that I like the best. I really like this technique and will continue to use it so I can create depth and dimension on my cards. Let me know that you…
