About Me

My photo
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.

I love making kids cards.  These were made for my great-granddaughters for Easter.

I was asked to be a guest designer on The Outlawz http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/
I will be posting my cards for the month of April Monday Greeting Challenges.
This is the first one using a Rick St. Dennis digi image.

Today is my sister's birthday.  My OLDER sister :-)   I'm still trying to improve my tatting skills.  Here is the card I made for her.

Tatting

I'm having lots of fun learning to tat. This is one of the cards I recently made (for an amazing friend named Rosy) with tatting.

Outlawz Challenge Card

I’m sorry I haven’t posted any cards in a while. I had some health issues that got in the way of my creative juices. Hopefully things will continue to improve and I can get back on track. This is a card I made today for the Outlawz TT challenge to make something with a sport theme. I used a digital figure skating image colored with pencils. My papers are from SU.

CAS Outlawz Challenge January 13, 2013

This week’s CAS challenge on The Outlawz was to make a card with a music theme. I used spirelli to create my image. I sponged ink onto the background and tag to give it some depth.
