Lots of Valentine-sy pictures have been popping into my head lately. I see a scene in my mind, with certain things placed just so, and I feel compelled to create it for a photo. Staging photos is one of my favorite things to do these days, besides watching “Rick Steve’s […]

Valentine Cookies
Just a few photos to get you in the mood for Valentine’s Day. ♥ These heart-shaped shortbread cookies covered in pink frosting from Panera are sure to make anyone feel *loved*. Each one comes with a handful of red chocolate candies. Valentine’s Day is only 3 weeks away… It’ll be […]
Cupid’s Quiver
I cut a quiver pattern from grungepaper and covered it with decorative rose paper. Next, I made a shoulder strap using some old lace and fixed it in place with jewel brads. Then I added some stamped images, (Tim Holz/Close To My Heart), prismaglitter, and a vintage button. For the arrows: cherry-flavored heart […]

“At the Louvre”, detail after Degas
Though I don’t attend Hill Country Bible Church, I’m blessed to be on their “Prayer and Creativity” team. Their quarterly exhibits give me a chance to attempt some serious art once in a while. I stress *attempt*. The first exhibit of the year doesn’t have a particular theme but gives all the […]
Elmer Gets A Makeover

You’ve stuck around for years and I’m continually amazed at your versatility. However, as much as I rely on you week after week, the truth is, you haven’t aged […]
