Today’s card is a simple scene. While the card layout is very simple, I actually found that it took me a long time to make. I don’t know what it is about simple cards, but I find them harder to do then intricate cards lol. So here is my “Simple” card which was hard for …

Snail Mail
I am in love with the whole Snail Collection from Lelo Design. The images are very cute, and very approachable in terms of coloring. This stamp company is based out of Germany, and the owner Nancy, ships internationally. I colored up this image using my Caran D’Ache watercolor pencils. They have a fantastic color selection, …
Artful Dwellings Wall Art
I wanted to create something with the new Tim Holtz Artful Dwellings die. It is absolutely the coolest die! It is part of the movers and shapers style, which means that you can move around the doors and windows, or have none of those at all. I didn’t feel like doing a card, so I …
Graduation Money Holder Card Featuring a Punch Art Owl
I am so happy it’s Friday! This has been an absolutely insanely busy week! On Monday I was at a family funeral (my husband’s side of the family) that was 5 1/2 hours one way, and we made the round trip in one day. So as you can imagine, that was pretty exhausting! During the …

“Promise of Spring” Mixed Media Canvas by Andrea & “Playing Catch” Mixed Media Canvas by Julia Walford (Age 8)
For months now, my just-turned-8 year old daughter Julia has been begging and pleading with me to teach her how I create my Mixed Media pieces. Now don’t get me wrong – Julia has pretty free access to many of the supplies in my studio and already really enjoys making cards. In fact she’s been …
Faux Glassine Technique Featuring 7 Gypsies & Prima
On yesterday’s post on the Sunny Stampin’ Blog – I showed a card that featured a technique which I came up with called Faux Marbled and Stained Glassine. In that post I mentioned that the Faux Marbled and Stained Glassine technique actually evolved from a simple Faux Glassine technique I created. The two techniques are …

Veggie Bella Welcome
Well I admit that this is not the best picture which I have ever taken, but unfortunately my shots don’t work half as well at night! So for today I decided to do a simple card using this awsome stamp from Stamping Bella. I just love their images! The image was colored in with Copic …
“She let go of her fears” Mixed Media Canvas
As I reflect on my life, I can’t help but notice how often I’ve let my fears stand in the way of me doing or trying something that deep down inside I’m longing to do. It’s not so much that I’m actually afraid, as in feeling scared, but rather, I think, feelings of inadequacy. For …

Hero Arts Butterfly Card with Microbead Nestabilities Frame
I absolutely love butterflies – both in real life and in stamped images. The Hero Arts butterfly set I used, called Antique Engravings is probably my favorite butterfly stamp set ever. It has such a wonderful selection of butterfly images and they look so real! Today’s card is a 5 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ card …
