Happy Tuesday! Back today with another sketch and a card from Skipping Stones Design. Sometimes your mojo goes on a little vacation and leaves you behind scratching your head. For me lately it seems to be happening more often than not, lol! This sketch really threw me for a loop. I wasn’t quite sure where to go with it, so I showed it to Brent. He said “it looks like you’re looking out a window at a sunset or you’re…
Another day, another dollar (at least for me at work today) and another Skipping Stones Design Sketch Tuesday with another awesome sketch from Teri Anderson. Here’s today’s sketch: When I saw this sketch I had a gatrillion ideas flying round my little ol’ brain but had to lasso one and reign it in. I originally wanted to rotate it on it’s side, but it ended up not working out… will have to try again later. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE folk…
Hey friends! It’s 11:15 pm on Wednesday night as I type this. Yesterday I promised to have the details for you today…. and tonight as I was just getting ready to crash out and the muscle relaxer kicking in so the twitching in my knee wouldn’t keep me up all night and going over the events of the day, remembered….. shot up out of bed and hobbled down here to the studio to clank out some info. This round of…
Hey friends! I need to apologize for being away so long. No drama, just life, and when life gets busy around my place my blog is the very last thing on my mind and very first thing to get pushed to the back of the line. Brent took the last 5 days off of work and we’ve just been hanging out and enjoying having “nothing” to do. We have gotten some house projects done, took care of the car and…

Toilet paper is always fun to talk about on a blog. Some of you may remember blending paper towels and sheets of paper in a blender with some water to make “homemade paper” art projects in the 3rd grade. I remember doing that and having so much fun creating molds and shapes with my paper pulp… but man, it sure was messy! Today I want to share with you a technique that can accomplish the same end result with a…
Hey friends! I’m back this week. Yay… or something. LOL! Anyway.. it’s been a seriously insane week. It’s 12:41 am on Tuesday and I’m hurrying to get this post scheduled so I can hit the sack and be ready for work in a few hours. Long story short: we’re still working with the insurance on settling about the car. We did, however, purchase a smokin’ hot car tonight in Salt Lake City from the dealership Brent’s bro is a mechanic…
I had so much fun making my last SSD card and figured I should share with you how I did my background for my “masculine” card. I think I will call this technique “Popped Metal” or “Metal Popping”. I was going to try to use a “Chalk Popping” technique on the card but realized I needed to think up something else when I peeked at my chalks and saw that I only had pastel colors… so I pulled open my…
Good morning crafty friends! It’s time for another Skipping Stones Design Sketch Tuesday and today’s sketch is a really fun one! This week Kimberly Crawford is challenging us to: You may remember that I mentioned in a previous post that shaped cards are not something I am entirely comfortable with… YET… I decided to take the sketch literally this time and created a round card. and since it was dinner time when I was making it I was a little…
