I’ve been doing a lot of digital work lately since most of my supplies are inaccessible. I made new backgrounds for both of my blogs.

I learned how to make my own brushes in Photoshop through a wonderful tutorial that Michele Ward shared on her blog. It has been so much fun making and playing with these new brushes!!

I did my homework…

What do you think?

These are for an Anything but Paper ATC swap.

I took a scrap of old table cloth and started randomly sewing fabric scraps on using different colors of thread and stitches. It was fun playing with the different settings on my machine.

I took a ATC template and traced the proper sizes on the back then cut on the lines. I did a zigzag stitch around each to hold everything together.


You’ll see in a few days.

With warm sunny weather finally upon us, my daughter and I joined our neighbor for a nice afternoon walk around the Arboretum.

Most everything is still brown, there were very few flowers blooming, the fountains were still dry but it was enjoyable anyway.
Just being outside, wandering down the trails, seeing deer tracks, hearing the birds and watching squirrels run crazy through the woods.

I just noticed that I missed my Blogoversary!!!!

It was 3 days ago!!!!

Hopefully our wedding anniversary won’t go by as unnoticed my me… 15 years on Sunday. :)

One of the assignments from the online altered book class I’m taking was to create a color wheel from magazine images.

I wasn’t sure how I was going to make a color wheel fit into my Nature’s Majesty theme but then I noticed how well Mother Nature uses the color wheel on her own I knew I’d make it work.
