A work in progress.


UPDATE!! Here is the completed project. I didn't do to well on the face but I am pleased with the rest. What do you think???



I am really trying hard to make some postcards that I am happy with. I have joined a swap for Handmade postcards and have three wonderful partners. Here is one that I am working on to be mailed out on Monday....



This is just the first sketches and I am praying that I will be able to watercolor it without ruining it something terrible.


I will be sure to post the final project when I am finished.




Wishing you all a blessed Sunday.

Rejoice in the Lord always.

Just catching up!

I sure hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. My family and I enjoyed our day and now I am on the computer to play. I have been busy with more swaps and just wanted to share the latest.
These first two are for the Beginner Christmas ATC swap. The first is an ATC inside a sled ornament. The second, an ATC with a Christmas charm on it.




This is a cat peaking through a hole in the newspaper. Watching out for his new home. This was made for the "Handmade postcard swap"

This lil guy was made for an Autumn ATC swap . I was pleased with the coloring of this one.

This last one is a Recipe postcard swap for Cowgirl stew. Yeah many of you guys out there say it is cowBOY stew but I added a women's touch and now it taste better then ever. HEEHEE

Autumn ATC's

I am sending these for a swap ~ Autumn ATC




The first going to M. Moon





I added this second one cause she likes moons and pink and yellow together.



The second going to A. Probst....
I am getting better at my watercolor on something so small, still needs work... and a steady hand.
Have a blessed week and I hope you'll leave a comment.

Two new postcards off to their new homes


These are two postcards I created for a swap with a creature theme. There had to be one thing on there that started with the Letter G. I really like the goldfish card and am not REAL happy with the Goose but I worked it to death and thought I had better send it on before I totally ruin it. I hope the recipients will be happy with them.

4 day swap ~ postcards

I signed up for a postcards swap that only allowed four days to produce them. Since I wasn't really well yesterday and stayed in the bed I was able to work on all of them and get them pretty much done. I just thought I would share them with you...

the second one is the only one not finished. I think I am going to watercolor that one too. The first is marker and colored pencil, the dog and cat are watercolored, the cat is marker. I try to make them to the persons liking that will be receiving them I am just not real good at some of it. I like to make whimsical things and some realistic.
So here they are.. whattcha think?

Brown Bag ATC

I signed up for another ATC swap and it required me to make an ATC with some sort of Brown paper bag on it. Well, I thought and thought about what to do, I tried to make a small 'thing' that would resemble a paper bag and this is what I came up with...



I drew the paper bag and used scrapbook die cuts to fill the bag, so there is some sort of 3D effect.


Then this is what I received from my Partner 'Tuesday'... Now she did exactly what I was trying to do and made an actual paper bag, you can even open it. Way Cool!

Then to top it off she sent a second ATC.... she made this sweet little dress from a brown paper bag. Thanks Tuesday, I love them both. And thanks for the mouse card too!
