Let me make it up to you

Sorry for the long absence.  Life happened.

To make up for the almost month away, I will post ALL of the goodies in my "to be posted" stash.

First up is the latest card I have completed for my Open Swappers Group.  Click HERE for more information on joining the group and to see what the other swappers created.

Supplies:

Stamp set: Pleasant Poppies

Card stock: Whisper White and Poppy Parade (retired)

Inks: Poppy Parade (retired), Daffodil Delight, Certainly Celery

Accessories and Tools: Certainly Celery 1/4" grosgrain ribbon (retired), Brights brads, and Simply Scored tool.

I used the new Pleasant Poppies large background stamp.  This is really an easy card.  I water colored the poppies using and aqua painter.  I did not worry about staying in the lines because I wanted a very soft look.  The scored line on the top and the bottom just adds a hint of interest to the card.

Project number 2:  I made this for my friend.  She just moved into a new home and is moving on in her life after a marriage ending.  This is her time to bloom, so I made this to remind her of that.  The colors match the colors she has chosen for her new master bedroom.

A closer look at one of the "Hydrangea" blooms.  I used the Trio Flower punch (retired) and sponged each flower in  Perfect Plum.  There are over 1,000 flowers on the two blooms!  This took me longer than I planned and left me with purple fingers.  The butterfly is from a big box store and just matched! It so fits in with the idea of rebirth.  I used straight pins to push the flowers into a Styrofoam ball.  Another reason for purple fingers.  After pushing in over 1,000 pins, the pad on my thumb had a bruise!  The idea for the project came from a catalog of another stamping company.

Supplies:
Sizzix Timeless Type Alphabet Die
Card stock:  Whisper white, Elegant Eggplant, Certainly Celery
Inks: Perfect Plum, Elegant Eggplant
Trio Flower Punch (retired)
Certainly Celery 1/8" taffeta ribbon (retired)
Candlesticks and Styrofoam balls

Project 3:  Sometimes giving a tip in a nice little envelope is cool.   These are made from the Scallop Envelope Die.  Add an appropriate label and they're ready to use. 

Supplies:
Stamps: Perfect Punches (retired)
Ink: Pear Pizzazz
Bigz Scallop Envelope Die
Card stock: Whisper white
DSP: Berry Blossoms (retired)
Pear Pizzazz 1/4" organza ribbon (retired SAB)
Punches: Scallop oval, Moder label

I punched a hole in the center of the flap and brought the ribbon up through it to tie the bow.  Keeps the flap closed and gives it a finishing touch.

Project 4:  These are the thank you cards for orders placed last month.  I really love the Mixed Bunch stamp set. 

Supplies:
Stamp Set: Mixed Bunch, Loving Thoughts
Card stock: Whisper White
Inks: Summer Starfruit, Primrose Petal, Gumball Green
Adorning Accents Embossing Folder
Punches: Blossom, 1" circle
Basic Rhinestone

Project 5:  This card is a CASE of a card made by Mary Brown.  I love her style.  This was a card from a workshop that I had.  The clouds are made from the cupcake builder punch!  My downline made a card using the punch as a cloud and I adored the idea!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Up, Up and Away, Friendly Phrases

Card stock: Whisper White, Bashful Blue, Marina Mist

Inks: Midnight Muse, Basic Black, Raspberry Ripple, Pumpkin Pie

Punches: Build a Cupcake

Polka Dot Embossing Folder 

Project 6:  This was another card made at the same workshop as the balloon card.  It has a special gift card holder!  The idea for the card came from a convention swap last year.  There was no name on the swap, so I have no idea who to give credit to for the design.

See how the ribbon pulls out the gift card holder?!  Clever eh?

Supplies:

Stamp set: Betsy's Blooms Wheel (on the gift card at the bottom)

Framed Tulips Embossing Folder

Card stock: Rich Razzleberry, Daffodil Delight, Baja Breeze, and copy paper for the envelope

DSP: Floral District

Inks: Rich Razzleberry

In Color Designer Series brads

1" circle punch

Daffodil Delight Seam Binding Ribbon

Final share:  This is a birthday card I did for a friend.  This is also a CASE of Mary Brown.  Told ya I love her stuff! 

I have been working on this post for most of the day.  Having my family home is wonderful, but it is difficult to get anything done!  The minute I sit down, another interruption. I know any mom out there can relate. 

Thanks for visiting.  It is appreciated.

A purple Vroom

Here's a card from my last workshop.

The motorcycle stamp set is retired, but the image is still available in My Digital Studio.  I printed out a bunch of the motorcycles and then ran the image on the cardstock through the Big Shot with the new die. (The name of the die escapes me at the moment!)  (A side note: I am writing this from a  vacation I am on, and do not have my catalog with me. If the names of the items are a wee bit off, that is because my memory is always a wee bit off. Well, let's be honest here...there is more than just my memory that is a wee bit off about me.  However, a tilted personality makes for a unique one! Anyway,  please pardon my mistakes, as I know I will have some!  I'm trying to be brief here.  Successful there, huh! Not. I could look everything up online, but to be honest, I'm too lazy to do that today!!  Hey, I AM on vacation. *smile*)  See how shiny the motorcycle chrome is?  That shine was made using Pearl Ex and Future Floor Wax Finish.  I put the floor finish in an Aqua Painter and then just dip the tip into the Pearl Ex and paint.  Easy and not messy!  The Pearl Ex needs nothing else done to it because the floor finish has acrylic in it and the medium is set as it is applied.  Like I said...easy!  My hostess asked me to demonstrate the Pearl Ex since SU used to sell it, and she had a lot.  Always fun to revisit the past and use something again.  The silver panel of the card is aluminum foil.  Did you guess that?  I know, purdy!  We took heavy duty aluminum foil and cut it to size and ran it through the Big Shot using the new Fan Embossing Folder.  Here's a hint from me, your friend.  Do not apply adhesive to the back of the foil.  Apply it to the cardstock and then press the cardstock to the foil to adhere the foil.  The less you touch the foil, the luckier you'll be in not getting a rip.  We also ran the black strip of cardstock through the Big Shot using another new folder, the Argyle Embossing Folder.  I think it looks like faux leather.  Chrome and leather and a purple motorcycle.  Funny thing, most of the ladies had someone in mind that they wanted to give the card to.  The sentiment on the inside of the card says, "Well-behaved women seldom make history."  So true.  See the paper piercing around the motorcycle? That was done with the new Paper Piercing Pack.  Way cool.  Love the larger size of it.  If you get one new non-stamp thing from the new catalog...that's a great choice.  Don't forget to get the mat.

Okay, my friends, it's back to vacation.  Thanks for the stop in!

Young Vermillion

One of the stamps that you can receive free during Sale-a-bration (still in full swing, by the way) is this image of a Young Vermilion.  It is a single stamp, but it is so beautiful, that there is no need for more!  This card was one that I did in a workshop last month.  It was my "going-out-of-my-comfort-zone" card.  At times I like to stretch my creative muscles and design a card that is not so "Kristine."  This is one of those cards.  Except, now that I look at it, it is actually more me than I thought?  Hmmm.  The challenge I set for myself was to use a color combo from the Color Coach. I told myself that I must use colors that do not match in my opinion.  So here is the card.  The colors are Bravo Burgundy, Baja Breeze and River Rock.

A Young Vermilion in real life is a brilliant red color.  I took a little creative license because, well...it had to match the color combo!  And, I must admit...yes, I do believe that the colors match.  I have never been one to mix hues of red and blue.  And River Rock...well, it's the cameleon of the SU colors.  I swear to Howdy that it reflects the tones of the colors it's with.  Reminds me of a girl in high school who was constantly changing herself to match those around her.  I wasn't too thrilled by her either. Where'd that thought come from?  I digress.  Sorry.  Back to the card.  A-hum...the card also uses the cool Designer Frames Embossing Folder, also a freebie during Sale-a-Bration.  And, because I was playing with new toys--wait, I mean tools-- I also used the Edgelits Adorning Accents sans the matching embossing folder.

The card actually has a different opening.  I fooled you!  You thought it was an every day, run-of-the-mill card opening.  Nope.  Here's how it opens...

See!?  The Baja Breeze back piece does not open.  So, something different.  I think this card could serve many occasions.  Birthday...yup.  Hello...yup.  Thinking of you...yup.  Get well...yup.  Golly!  Is there an occasion this card will NOT work for?  Probably not so good for a Bar Mitzvah.  Ah well, can't satisfy every need. :-)

So there you have it.  Thanks for stopping in and sharing in my inky thoughts.

Two versions

I have been getting inky a lot lately, but finding the motivation to take pictures and upload to my blog has been lacking.  When I think about taking a picture, the natural light I use is gone for the day. But, today I got some pictures taken.

This first card was a result of wanting to make something using the accordion fold medallions I have seen on other blogs.  These medallions, or lollies as some refer to them, are not hard to make when using the new Simply Scored tool from Stampin' Up.  I also wanted to do something using the DSP Mocha Morning Specialty Designer Paper.  What I ended up with is a New Year's card. 

I really like this card.  It has an elegance to it.  I used Champagne Shimmer Paint on the black panel as well as embossed it with the new Stripes Embossing Folder. Both of the medallions are made from the Mocha Morning paper.  I also used the Brushed Gold Card stock for the subtle shimmer on that layer of the card.  Even though the card has a lot of shimmer and bling, my husband still liked it!

I liked the first card so much that I decided to try the same layout and make a blinged-out Christmas card.  Here is that result.



I made a different kind of medallion for this card, and switched up the placement of the sentiment, but the rest of the layout is the same.  I actually don't like this card as much as the first.  I don't even know why.  lol.  It uses my favorite DSP, Frostwood Lodge but even with that and the happy mittens and the jingle bells...ehhh.  Not so thrilled.  Ah well.

What do you think? Which card do you like better?  I would love some comments.

Yet another convention swap

I'm still making cards for convention.  Still!  I am not the kind of person who can make 100 or more of one card.  I start to get sloppy because I'm bored.  So I make 25 or so of each one.  Again I made a swap that was probably too time intensive.  Emboss this...sponge it all...worry it isn't right...start over.  You get the picture.  I tell you, my family is up for sainthood living with me.  The words most frequently out of my mouth right now are, "So, what do you think of this? How would you score it on a scale of 1-10?"  Yes, sainthood and nothing less is what they deserve.  I have not seen one eye roll nor have I heard a sigh of exasperation...well at least not from them.  My eyes are a rollin' around in my head and I sigh every couple of minutes as I stick my tongue out with concentration and design something.  Here's one of the cards from my stash.

This card is for a special swap which has the theme of flowers since the convention theme is garden related.  I didn't want to use the same sets most people would use...Fabulous Florets for instance.  Trying to think outside the box, I thought I would do my favorite flower, the daisy.  This card morphed so many times during it's birth that I was afraid I had a transformer on my hands.  But this is it.  I BE DONE WITH IT! Umm...so...on a scale of 1-10 how would your rate it? (Eye roll, sigh)

Tools of torture: (at least for this card)

Stamps: Teeny tiny wishes
Dies: Daisy 2 Die, Texture plate Backgrounds 1
Card stock: So Saffron, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla
Inks: Chocolate chip craft
Accessories: Hemp twine, Gold Embossing powder (I did not heat it.  I used it as a glitter. Clever, eh?)

A little Mojo

Happy Father's Day!  As happens every once in a few years, today also happens to be my birthday.  I turn 22 (cough, cough) today! Actually, I am 44 today and glad to be 44 rather than 22.

I have been working on my convention swaps today.  I have one to share!  It is based on the Mojo Monday sketch #195. It uses two new hostess sets from the upcoming 2011-12 Stampin Up catalog called Posy Punch and Perfect Words.  The Posy Punch works with the Fancy Flower Punch.  So easy peasy to punch out those posies!  I made a boat load of these.  But, you know what, there are a stinkin' lot of pieces to this card!!  Took me forever and a day to get them all assembled!  Two pieces ran through the Big Shot to be embossed, lots of sponging...I kill myself with work sometimes! But, I get that bee in my bonnet and stubbornly keep with the original plan to make a boat load to swap. 

I can't see the sponging in the picture? The middle circles are sponged as are the rims of the posies. The sentiment flag is also sponged. (They say a picture is worth a thousand words.  Some of the words in this picture are missing since the picture is not clearly representing real life!) The leaves are actually the wings on the bird from the 2-step bird punch.  Love making the easy leaves.  Lots of gold brads too.  Six per swap!!  But I just likey the way they looky, so no changey, changey! 

Recipe:

Stamps: Perfect Words and Posy Punch (hostess sets from new catalog)

Embossing: Pattern 2 from the Perfect Details Texture Plate, Polka Dot EMF

Ink: Baja Breeze, So Saffron, Pear Pizzazz

Card stock: Very Vanilla, Baja Breeze, So Saffron, Pear Pizzazz

Punches: Fancy Flower, 3/4" circle, 2-step bird, Eyelet border

Accessories: Gold brads, Victoria Crochet Ribbon

Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate it!

On the softer side

Happy Tuesday morning to you!  Today I am in a funk.  Ever have those days?  Just cannot get the rear in gear! Fortunately, I am ready to post some more cards for you!

The first uses the watercolor roses technique shown to me by my friend, Lynnette.  She's a talented lady! (Shame, shame shame she does not have a blog we can all oogle. Sigh)  Using an aqua painter and some reinker, you float the color on top of glossy or shimmer paper and let it dry.  I used So Saffron and Peach Parfait reinkers because, as Donkey says in Shrek, "Everybody like Parfait!." I used that wonderful flourish from the set Baroque Motifs (may it never retire) and the rose image from Fifth Avenue Floral.  The leaves of the rose are punched from the wing of the Two step bird punch! 

 "Ahhh!" you say, "What a versatile punch!"

  "Yes," I answer wisely, nodding my head, "It is not just for the birds!"  hahahahaha 

 Okay, add ramie to that funky thing I got goin'.  With a Polka Dot dry emboss on the Peach Parfait panel (again, because "Everybody like Parfait!")  and a vanilla Top Note, the card has a Victorian feel.  Yes?

 

"But, Kristine...how did you make those bird wings look like such realistic leaves?" 

I blush, smile and say, "It's easy!  Punch out the wing from Pear Pizzazz card stock.  Then crumple it 'til it's tiny, tiny.  Then uncrumple it and press it against a Pear Pizzazz classic ink pad.  The ink fills in the crumples and makes it look great!" 

You smile at me and we are both happy to know how to make leaves from bird wings.  I only wish I could press myself up against a classic ink pad and make my "crumples" look great. {sigh}  Basic pearls in the swirls of the flourish, some Victoria Crochet ribbon and a pretty font in the sentiment from Fabulous Phrases finish off the card.  Okay, you now get to look!

Next up is a direct CAS card from Mary Fish.  She is becoming my idol.  Love her stuff!  This card uses the Rub-ons from the Occasions Mini called Love Impressions.  An aside: Have you ever stopped to think that there is someone,( maybe multiple someones!) whose job it is to name the stuff in the catalog!  Hmmm, guess that would take a talent for alliteration or maybe just a need to control the world and name things?  Anyway, moving on....The card is framed with the pretty Tulip Embossing folder.  Simple black, red and white with a touch of pink keep it simple.  Not an ounce of ink is used on this card!  I suppose this isn't a stamped card, technically.  It's a rubbed card!  No inky fingers.

And the final card.  Thank you for reading this far.  My... you're a saint. 

This card uses Lap of Luxury DSP and the Square Lattice Embossing folder.  To get the look of a quilt, first layer all pieces and then run the whole thing through the Big Shot with the embossing folder.  It squishes (a very technical stamping term) all the layers together and it looks very "quilty."  The sentiment is from the Occasions set You're a Gem.  And really...YOU'RE a gem if you read my whole post today.  Gracias!

Details on Greenhouse Garden and Concord crush post and a birthday card

First, I want to share a birthday card I sent to a customer.  A sun flower for a sunny person! 



Next, on my last post, I was left a comment asking for the details on the card below.  Thanks for the comment!  I adore getting comments!  Another picture of the card, and then the specifics for making the card:

Stamps used: Greenhouse Garden, Afterthoughts (Hostess set in main IBC)
Inks: Early Espresso, Wild Wasabi (for the flower stems) and Concord Crush (To make the flowers, ink your stamp, then stamp off once on a scrap paper before stamping on the project.  When adding the flower detail, that is inked and directly stamped.  It makes it look like two colors, but both are Concord Crush, one is just lighter than the other due to amount of ink on the stamp.)
Card stock (CS):
Early Espresso, 4.25x11, 2x2.75, 3x2, 1x5.25
Crumb cake: 4x5.25, 1.5x2.25
Concord Crush DSP from the Hostess level 1 paper pack. 2 7/8 x 1 7/8
Whisper white punched with the XL Decorative Label Punch found in the Holiday Mini on page 25.

Dry embossing using the Backgrounds Texturz Plate #1 on page 215 of the IBC.  I took a sponge and lightly highlighted the raised portion of the paper with Early Espresso ink.  Use a light touch.
The scallop down the right side is the Scallop Trim Border punch done in Early Espresso CS.  I then added the smallest pearls from the jewel package of Basic Pearls on page 188. I wrapped a piece of 1/2" Concord Crush ribbon over the punch strip and tucked it under the scallop strip and Crumb Cake piece.

To finish the card, use a Corner rounder punch on the small piece of Crumb Cake, add Silver brads to the centers of the flowers and pop the flower image up on Dimensionals.  To make the faux brads in the left corner, punch three 1/4" circles out of Concord Crush CS and adhere to the front with Mini Glue Dots. The VERY LAST THING you should do is add some Crystal Effects to the little circles to add the shine.  These will need to dry, for a bit, but when they are dry, they look like brads!

There you go!

Thanks for stopping in.  I appreciate your time.

Greenhouse garden in concord crush

This is a card I did for my demo swap group.  Something about the concord crush and the espresso spoke to me.  I tried a different layout (yeah, some of us tend to get in a layout rut) and I really like how the flower focal point pops off the card.  The background is embossed and then sponged with espresso ink to make the design stand out a bit.  Baby pearls along the side add a little somthin' somethin'.  The DSP behind the flowers is from the Patterns Paper Pack that is the Hostess Level 1 gift.  You know, those packs are great.  I am always pleasantly surprised by what's in them!  To finish the card, I punched three 1/4" circles, adhered them with mini glue dots and then put some shine on them with crystal effects for the faux brad look.  The sentiment is also a hostess level 1 set called Afterthoughts.  It's true...I do love being spoiled!

If you would like any more details on the card, drop me an email.  If you would like to receive the hostess paper patterns pack or the Afterthoughts set, contact me about hosting your own workshop!

Thanks for stopping by.

Some of my favorite sets...going

June is a bitter sweet time in the Stampin' Up! world.  It's the time when stamp sets are retired.  For me as a demonstrator, that means I can no longer use the set in my workshops and clubs.  So this month for club, we made cards using three of my favorite sets that are going away.  I can still use them for my personal cards, but I just LIKE these sets so much, I have used them many times in workshops and events.  So here they are in their glory.

This first card uses one of my all time favorite sets, Embrace Life.  I also used the retiring color, Sage Shadow.  My thanks to Flutterby Atomic Butterfly for the layout.

Next up is a very versatile set called Tue Friend.  I have always liked the sort of western feel to this set.  The sentiment is from another retiring set called Wow Flowers. Colors are Always Artichoke and the retiring In Color, Dusty Durango.  This is a direct CASE from Nancy Riley.  L-o-v-e Love her work.

And the final card for the club was a red, white and blue tribute using the technique of faux buttons.  The ladies loved punching out all the circles for the six buttons (hehehe).  This card uses the retiring set Celebrate Everything.  I also used the new Square Lattice Embossing Folder available in the Summer Mini catalog.  A little texture is good. :-)  (This card also uses the retiring color of Brilliant Blue.  I'm gonna miss you Brilliant Blue.  You were truly a brilliant color. {sniff})  Thanks to an unknown artist (If this design is yours, please let me know, and I'll give you credit!)  I tweaked mine just a smidgen adding the texture and a brad-held bow.  Love that way of making a bow--easy peasy!

That's it for today.  If you would like any of the retiring materials used in the cards, you can place an order for these items through June 30th through my Stampin Up website.  After June 30th, retiring items will no longer be available for purchase through Stampin' Up.

Thanks for stopping in today.  I appreciate you giving some of your time to me!

A few things

I have been a little busy lately.  It's always nice to have workshops! Unlike many in the blogging world, I don't seem to be able to prep for workshops and blog at the same time!  Ah well, "we all have our strengths" as my daughter (a very wise 9 year old) likes to remind me.

I want to share a bunch of things today.  First is something that just made me giggle.  I love to laugh, and this was too cute not to share.  I had a huge order come from Stampin' Up!, and on the top of the largest box is this Caution notice.  I thought, "Gee, I wonder why the caution notice?  Is there something flammable in there?"  Then I took a closer look, and started laughing right there on my porch.  I love the sense of humor!

It's true.  I love getting my deliveries.  I like seeing all the stuff that others have ordered and if the box is full of my stuff, well,... it's just like an extra birthday! 

This card was part of a club workshop.  It is an easy peasy card.  Great way to use up extra scraps of DSP.

I really do like the Well Scripted stamp set.  As a young girl I used to experiment with different types of writing.  Curly, really straight, hearts for an "i", etc.  This reminds me of those times when I wrote with a very curly, flowing writing.  When I was teaching, I noticed lots of girls experimenting with their writing.  Always good to know I'm not alone in a strangish behavior. :-)

The next card is also from the club workshop.  It uses a technique called colorwash batik.  The card design is a direct CASE from Lisa Sommerville.  She uses lots of techniques in her work, and this set, Friendship 24-7 is one of my favorites.  Many times I have wondered what's up with all the birds and butterflies in the SU catalog, but I like this bird. 

It's hard to see in the picture, but the flourish on the left side has an old olive color to it.  Batik is an art form, generally using cloth, in which color is added in steps, using wax to block color from covering an area of cloth already dyed.  So, using watercolor paper, you wash a mix of water, alcohol and reinker to create a color spray.  Spritz the watercolor paper and let dry.  Then, using versamark and clear embossing powder, add an image. The embossing powder acts as the wax.  Then the next color is added--in this case regal rose.  Then the Friendly words wheel is rolled over that using Chocolate chip ink.  You could continue adding images and embossing powder, but I did just the three colors.  When everything is as you like, you melt the embossing powder off using clean copy paper and a craft iron.  The color comes through from underneath and without the shiny embossing, it gives it a really cool look.  But, I warn you, it is a messy technique.  (If you want more specific details on colorwash batik, leave a comment with your email and I'll send some directions to you.)

Here is the same card using Bravo Burgundy and So Saffron.  The bird is stamped once on the oval and then again on a scrap piece and popped up on a dimensional.

The final project I have to share is made by my daughter, Olivia (same wise soul as mentioned above).  When I went back to North Carolina, I picked up this quilting square for her.  This is her first try at sewing.  I think she did great!

 

That's it for now.  I have a few more things to share, but I'll post those separately.  Thanks for popping in today.

Peace.

Mojo122 round 2

Just to show how versatile this sketch is, here is a sympathy card with the same sketch as I used yesterday.  Yesterday was bright colors and the sentiment of LIFE.  Today the same sketch brings a somber tone with blues and black.

Unfortunately, this card is for a friend with whom I have sadly lost touch.  I saw her husband's obituary in the paper.  They were one of those couples that were still in love after 40+ years of marriage. If you are of the praying mind, please include Janice in your prayers tonight for peace and acceptance in her heart.

Thanks for stopping in today.

Holiday Bustle

It has been a fast week. I have been creating and cutting and making my fingers sticky and inky. And it was all glorious! All gazillion and one of my Christmas cards has been sent out! Whew! I made a few designs since after a little while, I didn't want to make one more of the same card!
Card #1 used the very elegant Scenic Season stamp set. This was one of the first sets I bought when the catalog came out. It appeals to the traditionalist in me. The picture doesn't show it well, but I misted the paper with the frost white shimmer paint, so when the card is tilted, it looks like it's snowing!


Card #2 looks like a quilt in person to me--and it happens to use my favorite color combo--red and white (must be the Danish background!) I REALLY do try to use colors other than red, but it seems to sneak in there on me frequently. The main white panel is embossed using the Holiday mini embossing folder Petals a plenty.




Card #3 was probably the most time consuming of the three. Using the large and small tag punches, you punch out and adhere the paper to vellum to create the star. I LOVED the look, but was cross-eyed and sticky after making the stars. It was like looking at the 3D books where you're suppose to see something in the picture. After awhile, I couldn't see the star in the pattern! There is a great tutorial on how to make these punch tag stars on Splitcoast stampers. In the tutorial they show how to make a double star. I decided to stick with the single layer because I felt like the card already had enough goin' on. I used my much missed Red Riding Hood on this card. I so miss that color! {sniffle}. It's still an "IN Color" in MY heart!




I have also been working on some 3D projects which I'll share in a separate post.

Thanks for stopping by today.
