Most recently, this colorful card was featured on the Magenta blog. There's nothing else that will attract my attention more than the color combination she's used on this card!

On the Penny Black Simplicity blog, I think this Sympathy card's simplistic design is so striking on kraft card stock.

Working on a card for friends who are house looking. I recall being sent numerous times to a house that wasn't even close to what we were looking for, or finding out our house was shown to people not even looking for our style of house. So I made this card and had to settle for a handwritten sentiment.

Sorry for the absence this last week. It was a long week of having to do too much away from the studio and house. I'm hoping for a little calmer time now that this week is behind me, almost! I'm away today but to have loads of fun . . . I'm taking Lisa Lee's Inchie Arts' Mosaic Card Class at Art 'n Soul. It's always a popular class.

If you haven't stopped in at Art 'n Soul lately, there are some new treasures from Impression Obsession, Balzer Designs (I just purchased a wonderful stamp set of hers), Rosie's Roadshow, and the highly sought after Crazy Bird stamps and dies from Ranger (the remaining part of our order is supposed to be at the store on Monday). Dianne will be at the store all day to help you find just what you're looking for!
