Did you know artist Janet Klein (Stampotique) also has an etsy shop?  Vera Lane studio  :)  I think her images are so cute and had to pick this one up to make a few cards for my daughters..
This is called "A Mother's Love" ....I guess now I am getting obsessed with how cute it is!
It comes in 3 images...check it out!

"one little word"...

I am crazy about the girls on the dt over at "one little word" blog...
I FINALLY got to play along with them and hope to do this more often.  The word is "adventure"
This past Easter I went down to Charleston to see my dd.  She is getting married in Sept so we did the running around stuff and had fun.  Then we went up to Charlotte to meet with the rest of the family for the holiday.  Easter was awesome since my hub and I were celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary AND our grand daughter's first birthday. :)  This is some "car journaling" I did on the way home.  My youngest son rode back with us- he slept most of the way home!  I had my inktense pencils in the car with me along with some small scissors and scraps of paper.  Below more wc pencils and some doodled flowers over top with a micron pen...Charleston , SC just inspires me...LOVE it there...
Lastly..a couple pages out of my DLP moleskin...love Ronda's new stencils.. :)
Thanks for looking and hope you are counting your blessings this Spring as I know I am!

artistcellar stencils!

Just dropping in to show you these awesome new stencils I got at the artistcellar store.  Sacred Hearts Series... 4
I rubbed some acyrlics on an old music score sheet and white cs, then stenciled over it with white wash.  I did some doodling with a black permanent pen and the sentiment is from the computer.  Lastly I sewed around the edges and mounted on a painted canvas board (6x6).  Not sure if i will frame this or not...
below is just a quick card I made to try the stencil out when i got it...so fun! Acyrlics...
Cant wait to use the other 2.  Thanks for looking  :)

GOSH...time to post here! tyou !

Life happens when you are busy making other plans....John Lennon....
Happy Spring!  After a long rough Winter..and unplanned madness...We need some fun creative time!
Starting with a post card made for a good friend of mine....

 I used an image by Maria at the Stampotique store called "upward bound"..love it :) I shmeared some acrylics on mixed media with an old credit card -(Strathmore) paper, stenciled (Julie Balzer) clouds and stamped the bunny.  The sentiment is Pinterest inspired.

Doesnt EVERYONE NEED "carrot" from the Stampotique store this time of year???  Carrot is stamped , cut out and colored with Copics for this card. 
AND....my post card for the post card swap on the "roc nicholas" facebook group! 
I had to use "roc's angel"   LOVE this angel!
Thanks for LOOKING!
