Spreading some joy

Isn’t it fun to get an actual card in the mail? 
With email, FB, texting, and numerous other electronic media blasting at us 
from here and there….
a simple hand written note can bring 
a bit of peace and serenity 
to an otherwise hectic day. 
At least that is the hope.

Graduation card
For an future engineering student. 
Thought the math page would work quite nicely.

Card and canvas
One birthday card for a man… using some Citra Solv paper and Basic Grey packaging. The recipient is back in college get his second degree and is taking some very high level math courses. I thought the normal curve table page was fitting.
This canvas is now on it’s third life.
Every time I get tired of it I just spread some gesso over the top and start over. This time I added some modeling paste for texture and then some of my rusted lace fabric. I trimmed down an 8×10 print of digital art.

Watercolor cartoon

A friend of ours turns 50 today…his party was actually yesterday. We had planned on attending but several circumstances made it impossible. 
The birthday boy is an avid hunter. My hubby came up with the idea and caption then I went for it with 
the drawing and paint. 
Considering my drawing skill or lack there of…
I think it turned out pretty well. 
It’s supposed to be kind of cartoon-y in case you were wondering.  :-)
The caption inside the card reads:
“When you’re over the hill, catching Z’s is easier
than climbing trees”
I’ll be mailing this card on Monday.

Making cards
Ok…so the thumb still hurts but I can’t seem to 
not use it. 
No matter what it is in life…I use that thumb. 
So I might as well make some cards…right?
I made a lot of cards…
they are like chips…bet you can’t eat just one…er…make just one.

I’ve had a couple people ask me lately about my photo cards for the holidays.  Gifts and such I’d assume.
Which got me thinking…I should really sit down and make a bunch with all the photos I already have!

I also made a few more fabric collage cards. 
I really enjoy making these. 
They are what you might call a labor of love.

Little bits of creativity

I’ve been working on a few things over the last couple weeks.

I made the cover for my ABC_alteredbookclub 8th Anniversary swap book. I’m waiting on the last page to arrive before binding.
I used Citra Solv paper for the background then cut the flower from a photograph I took a few years ago.
I added the paper flower and “Joy” brad for interest.

Since we have a few September birthdays in our family I’ve been busy making cards. This one is for my mom. She loves butterflies and flowers.

Lastly, I’ll share a little peek at a mixed-media painting I’ve been working on. It’s not finished…definitely a work in progress.

What I did BEFORE summer vacation…

Today is it….then it’s 24/7 kid time for 3 months. I can’t complain. I am lucky to be at home. There is always that adjustment phase for everyone though.

I made a couple of quick ATC’s just to prove to myself that I could still create something.

I also put together sets of my photo greeting cards for the teachers and assistants.
