A great day!!!

A long week at work is finally over, somehow month end happens every month. Today was a day to relax, and do odds and ends at home.

The attached tags were made for a "Black and White" tag swap. I used stamps from various companies, but the majority were Tim Holtz. I also found an envelope of various stamps/postmarks in my stash of stuff that I was able to use.

Tomorrow is another unplanned day - lots of stuff to do at home, unless something better comes along.

Poe 4 X 4

This image is for an Edgar Allen Poe 4 X 4 swap. All the stamps were from Cherry pie and I airbrushed Copic E33 (sand) for the back ground, mounted on black card stock. It will be a busy week, lots of swaps to get out.

This is a postcard I made for a swap, the theme was "South America". After looking at the scan, I see I really need to color the backgrounds with a heavier hand. The tree stamp was "Stampscapes" and the donkey was from "Viva Los Vegas." Doctor day tomorrow - YUCK!

July '10 Technique ATC

I can't hardly believe it's so long since I posted on here. Time has certainly flown by this summer.

Here is an ATC I did for a Technique Swap. The scan doesn't come through very clearly, but I painted water color paper with acrylic paint - butter cream and sage green. I then used a comb to make a design in the print. The images are stamped and embossed in black and I then added black pearls. ATC's with Dots and an Asian Idex book are the next projects.

Memorial Day Weekend - 2010

I subscribe to the Simple Dollar blog and today he had an interesting post, entitled the Public Humiliation Diet. This can work with weight, finances, whatever. To me, one of the best points was to be accountable. So many people do not take accountability for their lives - it is always somebody else's fault. If you are too heavy or in debt or have issues with a family member, take responsibility for it and correct it.

That being said, my weight today was 166#. Granted it was mid morning before I weighed and I usually do it 1st thing in the morning, but still things are headed in the wrong direction.

Enough of my diatribe.

I have attached a scan I did of an ATC for a Technique swap.

Hope to have a good weekend, and the same to whoever is reading.

It has been quite awhile since I wrote anything and I really need to back in the habit of doing this. The card that is attached is one I made for a Girl Scout swap. I really like the way it turned out. Things are going good all around the house. I went back to the doctor on Friday and still have those extra 25 pounds hanging around, but will continue to work on that one. A busy week is in the works with stamping tomorrow night and sorority Tuesday night. Weather permitting I will walk with Jeanne on Wednesday, then the rest of the week is mine.
