I'm sure you'll love this card as much as I did by Darsie Bruno. I love how she combined the two Delicata inks (Golden Glitz and Shimmery Silver) from IMAGINE Crafts/Tsukineko.

Another WOW! Look at this wall art created by Judi Kauffman, a frequent contributor of work featuring products from Elizabeth Craft Designs. It's amazing! I found this on the ECD blog within a link to Scrapbooking.com Magazine website (http://scrapbooking.com/article/81443) that features a regular column by Els.

Last but not least: What do you get when you let Judi Kauffman indulge her love of pattern on pattern plus more pattern, and her passion for Shimmer Sheetz? This project, that's what! An embossed Gold Metallic Shimmer Sheetz background, embossed Fire Opal Shimmer Sheetz butterflies (both of them among our new Elizabeth Craft Designs embossing folders, the butterflies from Karen Burniston), a Dragonfly Lady Circle colored with three layers of gold paint for the effect of an ancient relic (Sakura's Pen-Touch opaque paint marker). And a very ornate frame. The Italian Renaissance has detoured through India and landed in Judi's studio. If this doesn't prove how versatile the outline peel-offs can be, I don't know what does."
And for the Grand WOW, you must go to the website of Marco Mazzoni. I found him on the Prismacolor blog site when I was looking for postings about using their wonderful colored pencils. What a find! I must tell you that some of his work is out there but it's all very worthwhile to observe. As you look at his work, remember . . . Mr. Mazzoni is doing this with Prismacolor colored pencils!
Here's the link to the Prismacolor blog if you'd like to explore more examples of art made with their various products: http://blog.prismacolor.com/.

I'm almost wow'd out tonight. This afternoon, my husband and I attended a memorial service for a gentleman who died way too early from cancer that was diagnosed on February 5; he passed away 15 days later. He lived large, and I mean very large. He never let a moment pass him by where he wasn't engaged in what was going on around him. His enthusiasm and zest, combined with determination to always succeed and help those around him succeed, was an inspiration to his family, his 5 daughters, his professional associates and employees, and just about everyone he met. Further evidence that we should be living as large as we can and not take any moment for granted. Enjoy it all my friends!
Part of my living large is to always appreciate what we enjoy at Art 'n Soul . . . enthusiasm, inspiration, friendship, and a penchant for joy in what we do. I hope you are finding that same appreciation whenever you walk through our front door, which will never be too often!
I leave you with some humor . . .
