The last week of the Summer of Color challenge is here, along with the toughest color for me…orange. My daughter had no trouble at all, however. She drew a sunny and bright “Orange Library”, complete with many juicy-colored books, and a very tangy shaded lion. How does she come up with this stuff? Even […]

Collage Style Cards With Butterflies
Many thanks to my friend, Melissa, for letting me borrow some of her butterfly stamps. I love to stamp! There are so many cards I have in mind to make. If I could only buy time in 1 hour increments…. This set of 4 cards is available on my Etsy shop. […]
Butterfly Drawing with Hydrangea Petals
This is ‘purple’ week over at the Summer of Color challenge. My inspiration was The Purple Hairstreak Butterfly. I haven’t drawn anything in a while so I put my stamps, collage sheets, and stickers away for this one. I used my Derwent pencils–using ‘Imperial Purple’ for the dark shading on the […]

It’s funny because we’ve never grown strawberries, let alone made anything that resembles a condiment out of them. But she’s not one to let lack of […]

Here’s what I did with the leftover crepe paper rolls. Kinda cute? Happy Birthday Baby Boy! We celebrate the joy you’ve brought into our family and the […]
Tiny Oceans
