Creativity Rules

The title of the post says it all. :)


I really enjoyed making this card because I feel like this stamp is me on a Saturday morning -- on the floor among all of my supplies trying to plan my creative week ahead. The stamp is from Mo's Digital Pencil and it was colored with Prismas and chalks. Because of its size, I wasn't really able to embellish much so the stamp had to stand on its own with just a simple paper flower and some sparkly rhinestones. I had absolutely no idea what sentiment should be attached but since it wasn't a custom order, I opted for the Creativity Rules stamp I had in my stash. Sometimes I wish I could track where my greeting cards actually go to -- I'd be curious to find out if the recipient of this card was an art teacher, or just a craftaholic like the rest of us! :)

Miss You Bear

Happy Friday everyone!


I'm always drawn to patterns that have pink and brown together. I think it's such a pretty color combination, though it would seem like it shouldn't be. I found this paper in my stash when I was re-organizing, and was lucky enough to find others that were similar in color and design so I went with it. As always, the image was colored with Prismas and chalked at the edges. Then I just went to town with the layering. Sometimes the paper can really just stand on it's own!

Thanks for stopping by!

An Apple for Teacher

I've gotten a few of these done within the last few weeks, I'm assuming so that they can be given out as teacher's gifts. Kinda cute, right?




I found these apple figurines at a local shop a few months ago and noticed that there was a place to insert a photo in the back. And any time there's a place to insert a photo, my mind starts going. I thought that maybe with a little luck (and some very gentle nudging) I could get a small needlework design in there, and luckily, I was able to. Once I knew it was possible, I ran back and bought a dozen or so more. I'm down to only two left though so it probably wasn't enough -- too late now!

They don't look like much -- they're only about 6 inches tall -- but they're heavy as heck, considering their size. If nothing else I bet they'd make great paperweights! :)

Thanks for stopping by!
