A New Crafting Adventure

I have been away for a while working on a new crafting adventure. A few months ago I invested in a Silhouette Cameo and I absolutely love this machine, I have discovered a love of making cards for friends and family and this machine has helped a lot. Learning the software has been challenging and I am sure I still have a lot to learn but getting there. I will be starting a new blog for the cards and other crafts and with possibly selling them once I have got a name and more ideas drawn out. Eventually I would like to start using HTV (heat transfer vinyl) but I will have to wait to get a heat press. In the mean time here is what I have been working on

Created for my dad for Father's Day

Crested for my husband for Fathers Day

Created for my husband for his birthday

Created for my Father-in-law for Fathers day

These are just a few of the card I have created over the last month and I look forward to doing many more. I love how much more personal these cards are instead of going out and buying a card that has hundreds if not thousands of replicas. Customized cards for the people that mean the most to you. So many great things to come in the future.

Jasper's Cat Naps

Usually the reason for me having problems creating is becuase I have artist block or just too busy, well now I have a new problem. Mr. Jasper has found a new napping place. This creates a big problem on so many levels: He is in my way As you can see, he is very hairy and has a lot of hair balls which he has no issues getting rid of wherever he would like. Again, very hairy and he sheds, on everything including the painting I was working on. (good thing I was not happy with the painting). He will push off anything in his way Along with my art desk he has found a few other places, our computer desk, in front of the satellite receiver, the bathtub and the bin where I keep my art towels. Along with is odd sleeping area he now has fleas. I will not say where he got these from but I do know the source. Now its off to the pet store to find a product to put on him because giving this cat a bath is a death sentence for anyone that attempts it. We have never had a flea proble...

Digital Flowers

I am still trying to get the hang of the tools, love how many different apps there are for drawing on a tablet. Each one has its own thing to offer. I will be working on these on my down time from painting, more to come soon though.

Page of Flowers

It has been a couple of weeks since my last post. We have been very busy, we finally found a house! After being in a contract for over 9 months with a short sale house we decided to step away from it and see if we would qualify for a new house, we did. So between the kids being back at school and getting all the necessary paperwork together for the house I have had very little time to blog. However, that does not mean I haven't made time to create. I have been doing a lot of artwork in my smaller sketchbook lately, It is much easier to carry around on the go, and we have been on the go. The flowers were drawn first then painted in with watercolors and sketched out the rest in pen.
