I used this wonderful Hero Arts background stamp and colored it with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.  My goal during this Coloring Challenge is to improve my coloring.

The ICAD Adventure Begins Again!

The ICAD Adventure begins again!

I used Ranger alcohol inks for the background, and a Hero Arts large die for the foreground.

The card is a 3" X 5" heavy weight index card I purchased from Amazon.com .  These cards are very heavy, very think, and very tough.

Layton's Legacy Card Drive, May 2018

Layton lived for 5 months in  NICU before he left the troubles of this world.  His loving mother, crafter Lea Lawson, is holding this card drive for NICU parents.  She is raising money to purchase coffee gift cards and gas cards for NICU parents, and holding a card drive to collect handmade cards in which to put the gift cards.

Freshly Made Sketches #329

This is one of many Mothers' Day and Fathers' Day cards I am making as part of Altenew's Celebrating Parents card drive for seniors in nursing homes.  It makes sense to me to make some of those cards according to the specifications given in Freshly Made Sketches.

Entry in Essentials by Ellen Pin-Sights Challenge

I was inspired by Ellen Hutson's fabulous new creation featuring a bear, a sun, and hearts with the above sentiment and others.  Teaching sometimes feels like an arctic wasteland when you are faced with a class full of people who are determined to have very bad attitudes and to passively resist any attempt to help them improve their lives.  I definitely have to spend a lot of time making my own love, hugs, and sunshine.
