...still remember that spring and fragments of a heart




Heart Journal 2012  

Fragments of a Heart: For the month of February our project was to do a piece of art and to stamp a background with air drying clay. Due to my hours of work I'm a little bit late in submitting this for February.  
Still Remembering that Spring: For this month of March our project is to use stamped Utee on a collaged paper base for more relief. Since I didn't have Utee, I used several layers of heated embossing powder.
I'm loving this creative process of our Heart Journal so much. Thank you Thealie  and Lilibulle :)

Thank you for visiting. I hope you are all well. Wishing you a safe and happy week.

.. my little book






... just sharing some photos of an accordian card (or little book) that I made for a dear co-worker who is retiring.   I needed to make a card that could hold well over 100 signatures.  I was lost for ideas until I requested some help from the Hero Arts Flickr group and received many many wonderful suggestions which resulted in this little book .. and I thank everyone very much.

Thank you for visiting. Have a nice week!

... forever


Wishing you a safe weekend. We're expecting a storm with about 6 inches of snow ... wonderful for skiing ... if you ski ... but the roads can be treacherous ... please be ever so careful.

I can still remember ...



I am participating in the Heart Journal 2012 blog challenge ... creating 12 hearts for 12 months using different techniques.  This month's technique is to use painter's tape for texture and wire to embellish.  I am enjoying this challenge very much and looking forward to the next 11 hearts.

Thanks so much for visiting.

You Mean So Much to Me


You mean so much to me ... this is more of a masculine/romantic card using the map design paper from Tim Holts, a torn page from an old book and Hero Arts stamps.

MOXIE FAB WORLD
* I've entered this card in  MOXIE FAB WORLD'S  The Map to Your Heart Challenge. I hope that you will join in on the fun *

 We have more snow here and it's been bitter cold and windy ... it might mean another weekend of crafting  ;)  

Enjoy your day and keep safe.

to love and be loved

The little fox was cut from a photograph. He is one of the five babies that were living in the fox den behind our home last year.  He had just come out of the den and raised his nose for a breath of air when I was fortunate enough to take his picture.  The family wasn't too bothered by me and at times ignored me.

... just sharing

Keep safe and a have a great day!

... you've captured my heart


This card seemed to create itself while I listened to Valentina Igoshina perform the Fantasie Impromtu by Chopin .


I so appreciate your visit. Enjoy your day and keep safe.
