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.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR

This week on Mod Squad Challenge Blog http://modsquadchallenge.blogspot.com/ we were asked to make a card using the theme LOVE IS IN THE AIR.
For my card I used a Tiddly Ink image colored with Spectrum Noir pens. When I color an image I always start with the hair & face.  Those are the two areas I struggle the most with.  Last night I did a really pretty face but horrible hair so today I colored a second image.  I did the hair first and was pleased with the result and then the face.  I have a new Epson printer and the ink ran on her face.  Needless to say I was not happy but finished the image anyway. Heat drying probably helps but it also curls the paper.   Does anyone have a suggestion for removing printer ink that runs?

3D Christmas card

Today on Mod Squad Challenge Blog http://modsquadchallenge.blogspot.com/ we were asked to make a card with one die cut.  I made 5 3D cards for Christmas; each had a die cut sentiment.  Here is one of my favorites. TFL

What can I say.....

I needed a thank you card for tomorrow and since I will be hand delivering and not mailing it, I thought the card with the butterfly & flowers would work fine. (picture #1) All it needed was a little tweaking.  Obviously that didn’t work out so well.  (picture #2) I ended up making a whole new card. (picture # 3 and greeting).

No Christmas cards made today L
