About Me
- Joan
- Minnesota, United States
- I am retired and loving it. I have a wonderful husband of 55 years. We have 3 awesome children, 7 fabulous grandchildren and 8 incredibly precious great-grandchildren. I enjoy reading, walking, biking, card making, tatting, X stitching and quilling. My winters in Minnesota are spent mostly indoors while in the summer my husband and I spend quality time on our Harley enjoying the beautiful scenery in our area. I hate to cook, love anything sweet and have mixed feelings about exercising.

Interactive Valentine Cards
This weeks challenge on Simon Says Stamp is to make an interactive card. I have 8 great-grandchildren and thought it would be fun to make interactive Valentine's Day cards for them. They turned out cute and I think the kids will enjoy them.

Card & matching envelope
I'm not used to making matching envelopes so this was a big challenge. The card doesn't have to be mailed until Monday so maybe it's still a work in progress :-)

SSS Something New
My something new is alcohol ink on photo paper framed with a new square die. I also tried some new alcohol lift ink with a snowflake stamp on the background piece but I couldn't get it to work. The recommended alcohol is 90% and I only had 70% so I have a much more subtle pattern. I think it's worth continuing to practice. Hopefully the next one will be even prettier.

Water colored flowers
I watch instruction videos and they make water coloring look so easy. Then I try and mine never quite live up to my expectations. This attempt was done on regular card stock and turned out pretty well I think. The sentiment will be added later. I'm entering it here
