"I do not understand how anyone can live without one small place of enchantment to turn to."
My small place is my studio area in the corner of my living room. My Whimcees are all the dolls, bears and other creatures that I sew from cloth or sculpt from clay, the cards and papercraft projects that I create.
It is with this blog I hope to share my world created in my small space.Whimceeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08199456399977714826noreply@blogger.comBlogger1190125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4835403328336454383.post-5877670129310377052018-08-31T14:06:00.001-04:002018-08-31T14:06:12.375-04:00It has been a long time since I last posted.

A different kind of card poster for my apartment door. Taking break - life has become too overwhelming. I hope to be back soon, posting for Halloween - one of my favorite holidays! In the meantime, wishing you well and thanking you for visiting my blog. :<)</div>

Hello!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wishing you a happy 4th of July with this super cute digital image of Mo Manning called "Sparkler". She was printed on white card stock, colored with marker and then outlined with the marker color of the background card stock. Then the image was fussy cut leaving a colored border around the image and glued to the background. I drew a 'flash' at the end of the sparkler and added glitter to it and used the glitter to make stars in the sky.</div>

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I remember when my Jimbo was just a little guy - he was only weeks when we got him - he is 2 1/2 years old now. He was only 4 pounds then - he is 15 pounds now. His size has changed, but some other things about him have not.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He always loved to lay on his back when sleeping - no concern then for how much space he took up because he was so small. He would just get comfortable, stretch out and go to sleep.</div>

I recently ordered a needle felted miniature of Jimbo from Bay Colony Designs on Etsy - I sent different photos of him so the artist could see what he looked like. Judy Johnson is the artist and her work is perfection. She chose the photo above to model the miniature. Below are her photos of the finished tiny Jimbo.</div>

Here he is in my hand. I am going to order another soon in a smaller size to fit in my miniature display room. I guess I didn't pay attention to the size listed and so although I love this one it is too large for the dollhouse size room I wanted to put it in. But I love it - isn't her work wonderful?</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lots of photos today as this poster card I made for my son Jim was quite the challenge. He asked me to make him a card that had windows that opened like the advent calendars he loves so much. No candy behind the doors but a different image in each one. I had not done this before but I was up for the challenge as I knew that I would use one of my new Graphic 45 collections and that it would involve mega fussy cutting! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I used the Graphic 45 "Enchanted Forest" collection because it had dragons and knights in armor and was very colorful, so I hoped that would appeal to Jim. It took me over a week to make but when it was done I wanted to keep it for myself! I may make another down the road but for now I just keep finding new projects to create. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I started with one of 12 x 12 papers that I chose to be my 'front' of this project. This would be the size of the finished poster card. I then chose and cut out the images from other papers in the collection that would be behind the windows in this main page - you can see them in the right upper corner of the photo.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hle4MQvbkzY/V2BPt-ZtKJI/AAAAAAAAQ-E/N_szQ2AzpJ48LlXRgNYw6bruui-bsTbUACLcB/s1600/EF%2B1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="236" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hle4MQvbkzY/V2BPt-ZtKJI/AAAAAAAAQ-E/N_szQ2AzpJ48LlXRgNYw6bruui-bsTbUACLcB/s320/EF%2B1.JPG" width="320" /></a><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I then had to decide where to place these images on the main page where I wanted the windows to be, drew around them with pencil and then cut out the windows. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Rg_8Zi6Q83s/V2BPkKqvsJI/AAAAAAAAQ94/yBEGBkAV0mw-ffbWH_A-J2tJKAl7fI21ACLcB/s1600/EF%2B2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="231" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Rg_8Zi6Q83s/V2BPkKqvsJI/AAAAAAAAQ94/yBEGBkAV0mw-ffbWH_A-J2tJKAl7fI21ACLcB/s320/EF%2B2.JPG" width="320" /></a><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I then chose another paper from the collection to be the back of the poster card where the images would be glued.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gX22t9DD5z4/V2BPaf3byPI/AAAAAAAAQ9w/Gism99qZQlAJK-C22QZsXmWezP-mzqJ0QCLcB/s1600/EF%2B3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="246" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gX22t9DD5z4/V2BPaf3byPI/AAAAAAAAQ9w/Gism99qZQlAJK-C22QZsXmWezP-mzqJ0QCLcB/s320/EF%2B3.JPG" width="320" /></a><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HsPKInSL0t0/V2BPQQw8uOI/AAAAAAAAQ9k/0958QLqsoucbIyipO1l-YccSThwR8pPYgCLcB/s1600/EF%2B4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HsPKInSL0t0/V2BPQQw8uOI/AAAAAAAAQ9k/0958QLqsoucbIyipO1l-YccSThwR8pPYgCLcB/s320/EF%2B4.JPG" width="320" /></a><br /></div>
Then after checking the positioning I glued the top sheet onto the backing with the images.<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jQ3riKlAkSE/V2BPGRciC_I/AAAAAAAAQ9c/LX1T6Jmf_Z0x5uBZBt5JkdTROXNwyOzHQCLcB/s1600/EF%2B5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="231" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jQ3riKlAkSE/V2BPGRciC_I/AAAAAAAAQ9c/LX1T6Jmf_Z0x5uBZBt5JkdTROXNwyOzHQCLcB/s320/EF%2B5.JPG" width="320" /></a><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then the next step was a bit more challenging as I had to cut and layer closures onto the page with the images - closures that the windows of the main page could fit under to hold the windows shut. After gluing them on I put scrap papers under the edges so that no glue would adhere to the images by accident so that only the closures would only be glued in the areas between the images.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wLzrvuHFPtE/V2BO6KnJGuI/AAAAAAAAQ9Q/obMBA4s3xNArvQWjNxaMNAQUwvW97WZbwCLcB/s1600/EF%2B6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wLzrvuHFPtE/V2BO6KnJGuI/AAAAAAAAQ9Q/obMBA4s3xNArvQWjNxaMNAQUwvW97WZbwCLcB/s320/EF%2B6.JPG" width="320" /></a><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then when everything was dry it was time to close the windows and slip them under the closures to see if they would stay shut. They did and it was a happy day!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now the real fun could begin - fussy cutting all of he many, many pieces to be layered onto the poster card! To begin I used another sheet of the collection of the same design and cut out the images from that to layer to the front.</div>

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These wonderful "Little Fairies" are Mo Manning digital images and such fun to color and fussy cut! There are five of them and each one is as sweet as the other! To have them for your own to add them to your studio, go to http://www.mosdigitalpencil.com.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
First color and cut around the image to make it easier to fussy cut.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sKmeDDhJkoY/V17xezd7RHI/AAAAAAAAQ5Q/D5843rHLW3U6YO2FuOLtJLoMrzOemjJVQCLcB/s1600/DSCN4123.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="223" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sKmeDDhJkoY/V17xezd7RHI/AAAAAAAAQ5Q/D5843rHLW3U6YO2FuOLtJLoMrzOemjJVQCLcB/s320/DSCN4123.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then fussy cut each one taking care to keep all the detail of the image.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pNt1JOB6Lns/V17xVsygGjI/AAAAAAAAQ5I/SGH_n4USyhkSv8yVeIz5zRIGvURpJpL_QCLcB/s1600/DSCN4125.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="218" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pNt1JOB6Lns/V17xVsygGjI/AAAAAAAAQ5I/SGH_n4USyhkSv8yVeIz5zRIGvURpJpL_QCLcB/s320/DSCN4125.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I added glitter (of course) to the wings and some other details.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0kcokbI5Y8c/V17xLBAOV4I/AAAAAAAAQ5A/KUw15Ynq0uY__soEkFtP47KRnxRe05tUgCLcB/s1600/DSCN4127.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0kcokbI5Y8c/V17xLBAOV4I/AAAAAAAAQ5A/KUw15Ynq0uY__soEkFtP47KRnxRe05tUgCLcB/s320/DSCN4127.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
All cut and glitter added.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sunny and less humidity today here in this part of WI - more thunder storms in the forecast but right now it is very nice. High 87 degrees today but without that awful humidity it is nothing compared to the 90 degrees with it. Wishing you a happy day!<br />

Hello,</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had posted a Thank You card earlier (June 2nd) that I made using this wonderful digital image from Mo Manning and was so pleased at how it was perfect for fussy cutting that I wanted to make a large poster card using the same image. http://www.mosdigitalpencil.com/</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As any of you know who follow my blog (bless you), I LOVE fussy cutting. This is how I started the poster card. I print the digital image on white cardstock and then again on each of the patterned papers I want to use. (I also added a 5th patterned paper after I started.) Then I start cutting the individual pieces from the patterned papers and layering them onto the main image printed on the white cardstock. All of the individual pieces are edged with a black marker before gluing them to the main image.<br />
<br />
This time I also used a patterned paper for the water in the jar as I had colored the water in the Thank You card with a marker. On this poster card the leaves and stems are the only parts of the image colored with markers and the image is outlined with a blue marker to give it a shadow..</div>

HOT, hot, hot today and tomorrow here in this part of WI - in the 90's both days! I turned on the air conditioner for the first time today - too hot and humid to worry about the cost. Hopefully it will be cooler after a couple of days. Sever storms again also in the forecast. Wishing you sunshine but cool breezes where you are!</div>

Hello,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As fussy cutting is my passion, I wanted to create a poster card that was a complex design that would involve lots of different patterned papers to fill it and lots of tiny pieces to fussy cut. I found it all in the digital image of Mo Manning's called "Neighbors" (to get this great image for yourself, go to http://www.mosdigitalpencil.com/) and it was great fun! It took forever to do, but I enjoyed every minute of cutting, gluing, layering and then adding glitter. It was to be for my son Jim and he loves glitter as much as I do!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So here are the many patterned papers all printed with the image and ready to cut.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XLKNiM_QT3Y/V1mU4z1-_wI/AAAAAAAAQ2Q/yd-4azE-QA8suxvO79UlDKDYaGtF769DwCLcB/s1600/Houses%2B1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="188" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XLKNiM_QT3Y/V1mU4z1-_wI/AAAAAAAAQ2Q/yd-4azE-QA8suxvO79UlDKDYaGtF769DwCLcB/s320/Houses%2B1.JPG" width="320" /></a><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First I cut out the house images.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YOpOyGDfbPw/V1mUt7MMaVI/AAAAAAAAQ2E/NfkHEgIIXBkcZPkCUIVN9mYSZ8J7fckcQCLcB/s1600/Houses%2B2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="189" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YOpOyGDfbPw/V1mUt7MMaVI/AAAAAAAAQ2E/NfkHEgIIXBkcZPkCUIVN9mYSZ8J7fckcQCLcB/s320/Houses%2B2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Glued them to the main image which was printed on white cardstock.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ugwu77751VA/V1mUm3tk3RI/AAAAAAAAQ18/5d1JbQ-4ycY2Z0WdTpzaLnJ2GGNntqqLACLcB/s1600/Houses%2B3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="226" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ugwu77751VA/V1mUm3tk3RI/AAAAAAAAQ18/5d1JbQ-4ycY2Z0WdTpzaLnJ2GGNntqqLACLcB/s320/Houses%2B3.JPG" width="320" /></a><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then it was time to start cutting out the roofs, stairs and all the decorative pieces.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j4BdZYjTnHU/V1mUdsK52jI/AAAAAAAAQ10/fIvmcbn-tNkM2B9XT8BAHM4AhgtnPYAEgCLcB/s1600/Houses%2B3a.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="236" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j4BdZYjTnHU/V1mUdsK52jI/AAAAAAAAQ10/fIvmcbn-tNkM2B9XT8BAHM4AhgtnPYAEgCLcB/s320/Houses%2B3a.JPG" width="320" /></a><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AATpF3sL1yY/V1mUIRO9arI/AAAAAAAAQ1c/yWHWq1qRS3M1954Yw__UEWWpgClONDMXwCLcB/s1600/Houses%2B5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AATpF3sL1yY/V1mUIRO9arI/AAAAAAAAQ1c/yWHWq1qRS3M1954Yw__UEWWpgClONDMXwCLcB/s320/Houses%2B5.JPG" width="320" /></a><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can see here how tiny many of these pieces are. In this photo I am cutting the very small blocks that are on the side of the blue house. All pieces are also edged in black marker.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kJ338skk6rA/V1mT45VhdaI/AAAAAAAAQ1Q/TgMx5mVM2KEg42QhdktwVU-_9RkOG20sACLcB/s1600/Houses%2B6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kJ338skk6rA/V1mT45VhdaI/AAAAAAAAQ1Q/TgMx5mVM2KEg42QhdktwVU-_9RkOG20sACLcB/s320/Houses%2B6.JPG" width="320" /></a><br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I always keep the pieces I've cut from on a scrap paper that is off to the side. I cannot tell you how frustrating and so time consuming it is to try to find a piece that you need after it has been thrown into the waste basket! And it happened all the time until I finally used my head.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-C5Z2ZZBgYmw/V1mTj4tEFfI/AAAAAAAAQ00/erQsaiTNQPcekqbvoOXq2cYBmHwfTMc-gCLcB/s1600/Houses%2B9.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="260" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-C5Z2ZZBgYmw/V1mTj4tEFfI/AAAAAAAAQ00/erQsaiTNQPcekqbvoOXq2cYBmHwfTMc-gCLcB/s320/Houses%2B9.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When it was all glued together I then colored the background with a marker. I made wavy lines to create some texture to it which I felt would show off the many patterned papers of the houses.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RqoJ4HHbeAs/V1mTdNLzFfI/AAAAAAAAQ0s/V9siqWzhFOsNglLOzZTX38Q1YKGUlQQWwCLcB/s1600/Houses%2B10.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="184" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RqoJ4HHbeAs/V1mTdNLzFfI/AAAAAAAAQ0s/V9siqWzhFOsNglLOzZTX38Q1YKGUlQQWwCLcB/s320/Houses%2B10.JPG" width="320" /></a><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HwF9q0FuCRY/V1mTIYE-V8I/AAAAAAAAQ0c/zdCpVcSI-owM1rBRtnGcGhYz9gPAGOlDwCLcB/s1600/Houses%2B12.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="279" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HwF9q0FuCRY/V1mTIYE-V8I/AAAAAAAAQ0c/zdCpVcSI-owM1rBRtnGcGhYz9gPAGOlDwCLcB/s320/Houses%2B12.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then the final step was to add the glitter. I almost kept it for myself, but sent to Jim as promised. </div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have seveer weather on the way here in this part of WI today. It is now very dark and humid and some light rain but there is the yellow gray that isn't good. It is to be in the 90's tomorrow and Saturday - a few nights ago it was down to 47 degrees. Our weather is so strange now.<br />
<br />
Wishing you a good day where you are!</div>

Hello!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Made a thank you card for a very kind woman who drove me to an appointment and sat 3 1/2 hours in the waiting room with me before I was seen - plus the appointment time and driving me home. I offered for her to leave me and I would take a cab home but she said 'no problem' and stuck it out with me until the end - what a nice woman!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I used the digital image "Flower Jar" by Mo Manning - go to her website to see all of her wonderful characters and backgrounds! http://digitalpenciltoo.blogspot.com/</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love to fussy cut the best and of course this image lends itself to that perfectly! So that's what I did! I colored the vase with marker but a few days later I also made a larger poster card and fussy cut paper for the jar/water also and will post those photos soon.</div>

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A card for Jim using the digital image 'Buddy' from A Day for Daisies.<br />
<br />
One of the staff at the group home where Jim lives recently lost her grandmother - but out of this sadness came joy. She had a little dog that now had no mom or home and he has found a new home and a proud dad with Jim. The dog's name is Freckles and they are quite the pair. Lucky dog - lucky Jim. Can't beat that combination! :<)</div>

We have had so much rain and humidity here in this part of WI - thunderstorms almost daily - but today the sun is out and it is much cooler weather. I feel the breeze from the window as I write this and say 'Thank you God" - it is so nice!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Wishing you a lovely Sunday where you are.</div>

This sweet image is called "Five Minutes A Day" and is A Day for Daisies digital image. I have fussy cut and layered as I love to do. Check out their blog at http://adayfordaisies.blogspot.com/ and see the wonderful cards made using their lovely images. So many good ideas! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have had a week of temperatures in the 80's with rain and thunderstorms - it is so humid in this part of WI and I can't justify using the air conditioner so early in the summer. It is only May and it is so expensive to run so making due with open windows and fans. In this small apartment that doesn't do much (2 windows) and the older I get the more difficult it is to deal with the humidity. But the sun comes out in between the rain so that is good and everything is certainly green!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wishing you cool breezes where you are and safe weather his holiday weekend.</div>

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love these images from A Day For Daisies. They are beautifully done and a fun challenge for the fussy cutting that I love to do. I wanted to create them all in yellow and used different printed papers for the clothing and the backgrounds and also colored some of the images with markers. Much of the fussy cutting was a bit tricky and time consuming but I love the results! :<)</div>

A new poster image from Mo Manning - had to purchase it to color and mail to Jim. We both are long time addicts of adult coloring books, way before they became so popular as they are today. This image is called "Cottage Treehouse" and is is great fun to color, You can find this digital image at Mo's website at http://www.mosdigitalpencil.com/</div>

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A new poster/card for my apartment door. <br />
<br />
A little trouble at pre-school and all three trying to look innocent - but it looks like one little guy forgot to drop the crayons! The images are from Mo Manning and you can find them on her website at http://www.mosdigitalpencil.com/ - they are "Guilty Bert", "Sam in Trouble" and "Guilty May". Love combining images, especially those of children! :<) The photos are a bit dark but either my camera was acting up again or the lighting was not good but better these than none! :<)</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The children on either side are layered and all three are fussy cut after they are colored with markers. The background is a combination of patterned paper and coloring with markers.</div>

<br />
Much cooler here in this part of WI - more like a normal Spring, but I do miss that 70's weather we were having. Lots of rain also but all is green and flowers and flowering trees all in bloom! Love it and am so happy winter is over!<br />
<br />
Wishing you a happy Sunday!<br />

Finished a card order using the Graphic 45 "French Country" paper collection. I love these paper collections and as this order was for a former French teacher - the images were perfect.</div>

It is cloudy here today in this part of WI. We have had such beautiful sunny and warm weather - in the 70's - and now some rain and thunderstorms in the forecast. Will help to make all the green things grow - soon the trees will look like fairy trees all frilly and lacey looking withe the new leaves budding out and more flowers and trees will start to bloom. Love it!<br />
<br />
Wishing you a good weekend!<br />

Hugs,<br />

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I can't believe it - another MONTH has passed since I last posted! Life can get so chaotic and everything gets out of sync. I made two Thank You cards today and forgot to take a photo each time so I went through my files of photos to edit and found these two cards I made last week and that time I took photos but then forgot to post them!<br /></div>

It has been sunny and warm temperatures here in this part of WI - I love it! Everything is coming up green - they cut the lawn here at the apartments where I live today, first time for the season. Also the list is out to sign up to have the air conditioner covers removed. All good things that mean the long winter is over. :<)</div>

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I received the most wonderful Easter gift today! My brother Dick is a Peeps nut and he made me this great card in his favorite image. :<) The card from Dick and my sister-in-law Bonnie says "and not a Peep out of you" and it accompanied a most wonderful gift - not only because of the items themselves - but because it was a gift of love. Time and patience and willingness to help your old sister = love. Plus an original artwork card with a clever verse! That's what makes this the most wonderful Easter gift! :<)</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have been working with miniatures for the past few months - since November, actually, now that I think of it. Anyway, after I made a dollhouse and furniture to give to a little girl at Christmas, I had the bug again to make something else and this time for myself. I used to have a shop that specialized in miniatures, dolls and teddy bears and it was the love of my life. I was surrounded by the three things I loved most and meeting people every day who loved them also. I had continued in dollmaking but had not had much to do with the miniatures - my first love - for many years. After making the Christmas dollhouse I knew that I had to have them in my life again.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Two of the projects I have been working on are a Dollhouse/Toy Shop and a Quilt/Fabric Shop. I had asked my brother if he could assemble some tiny furniture for the dollhouse shop as even with my good lights and magnifying glass, my eyesight now was not good enough to do this myself without the possibility of damaging one of the pieces. And these are very tiny pieces - as the furniture is to fit in the dollhouses that I made for the dollhouse shop which is a miniature itself - and that is tiny! He said he would try and I mailed him the tiny set of pieces with hope that he could do this. God Bless him, he did do this for me and he sent them in this beautiful little box.</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">It has been a long time since my last post. A difficult time and no motivation to create and when I have made something, I forgot to take photos. I recently made this card for my son Jim - he wanted a card about Jimbo (our cat who lives with me) and as Jimbo is pretty much the King around here I thought this image was fun. :<)</span></div>

Our "King" loves the warm laundry just out of the dryer - he jumps up on the bed where I fold the clothes as soon as he sees me bring back the baskets from the laundry room - and when he finds a comfortable spot I just leave him and fold these later. :<)</div>

It has been wonderful early Spring weather here in this part of WI - Tuesday it was 68 degrees! I know this being Wisconsin that we have had blizzards in April, but the unpredictable way the weather is now and never knowing what each year will bring, I am enjoying the warm weather and the open windows with fresh air! The flowers are starting to come up all over and I hope that they are not too early!<br />
<br />
Wishing you a happy day!<br />

Wednesday - A Card For Jim<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's Wednesday and time for What's On Your Workdesk? I have been so busy building a doll house as a Christmas project and then creating a paper mache Christmas house using a Graphic 45 paper collection for my friend Anna that since my Christmas cards I have been forgetting to photograph the cards I have made along the way. Today I mailed this one to my son Jim and remembered to take a photo before I sent it! Jim had recently asked for the color combination of yellow and red on the stationery set I am going to make for him, so I used those colors on this card and it turned out to be a very happy combination! </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For those of you who are not familiar with WOYW? go to http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/ to see the list and add your link - what fun to visit everyone to see what is happening at theie workdesks! The cute image is one of Mo Manning's called "Giggling Snowman" and you can find it at http://www.mosdigitalpencil.com/.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I fussy cut and layered the arms to give it some dimension and was going to add some glitter snow accents as Jim loves glitter (as do I) but working on another miniature display unit and assembling furniture for it, I once again got so focused that I forgot to do that! I also forgot my clothes in the dryer until someone came to tell me - so it is an accomplishment that I got the card in the mail! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is SO cold here in this part of WI - I can only wonder do I really want to go out to purchase a Power Ball ticket today? Yep.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wishing you a happy and WARM day where you are!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I looked at the date of my last post and I though 'how can that be!' as it is two weeks past that date! I have been working every day on the dollhouse store but how can two weeks go by that fast! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today is Wednesday again and time for "WOYW?" and good thing I didn't miss that another week! If you go to http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/ you can see for yourself what is happening with everyone's holiday creations! Don't forget to leave your link so you can be visited also!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am finally getting to my Christmas cards! I am almost completely done with the dollhouse store except for the baseboards - still have to cut and paint those - so I had to say Stop! to working on that today so I can get these cards in the mail! I will post a photo of one of the cards tomorrow.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-G8O8cw7POL0/VnHSeqtRM2I/AAAAAAAAQrQ/aJLZ-n7gfgQ/s1600/DSCN1661.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-G8O8cw7POL0/VnHSeqtRM2I/AAAAAAAAQrQ/aJLZ-n7gfgQ/s320/DSCN1661.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is a gloomy and rainy day today here in this part of WI but the weather is still warm for December! It will be so strange if we do not have snow for Christmas. The decorative lights look so sad without the white to show off their sparkle. I will be satisfied to have some snow for Christmas and maybe on New Year's Eve - bur that would be enough for me thank you very much.<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I will start to post the photos of my dollhouse store building journey soon. It has been quite an experience to build this in my very small apartment! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wishing you a happy evening!</div>

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today is Wednesday and time for 'What's On Your Workdesk?" again. I finally made time to make a new card poster for my apartment door. I have been working entire days for some time now building a dollhouse and have made very few paper crafts these last few weeks. I have been taking photos of the process so will share soon. My apartment door has had nothing on it and people were commenting as I don't think that has happened before. :<) The image is one of Mo Manning's called "Carolers Three" and you can find it and many more fun Christmas images at http://www.mosdigitalpencil.com.</div>

That Jimbo guy does love my laundry baskets - he will fall asleep in them and stay comfortable for an hour or so. What a silly boy. He especially loves the warm clothes just out of the dryer but an empty basket is just a good for a nap!<br /><br /></div>

Thank you for visiting my blog today! We had snow again last night here in this part of WI but only covered the ground, cars, etc. some pretty trees but not enough that I had to go out and clean off and move my car from the parking lot for the plows and then repeat back to the parking lot. We are to be back in 40's temps again all through the weekend into next week. Love it! </div>
<br />
Wishing you a happy day!<br />
<br />
Hugs,<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My first card this winter using a snowman image. All of our first snowfall is now gone due to a couple of days of rain - but I am sure there is more on the way! This is a Mo Manning image called 'Snowman' and you can find it at http://www.mosdigitalpencil.com/.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dXRkRdeddcg/Vlh5pg8a-2I/AAAAAAAAQpU/aZDzkpSRC8o/s1600/DSCN0933.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="319" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dXRkRdeddcg/Vlh5pg8a-2I/AAAAAAAAQpU/aZDzkpSRC8o/s320/DSCN0933.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course I had to add a little Stickles bling.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jp2PvFyYm3g/Vlh5ktNMb8I/AAAAAAAAQpQ/oUtwFf7gIMY/s1600/DSCN0935.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="306" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jp2PvFyYm3g/Vlh5ktNMb8I/AAAAAAAAQpQ/oUtwFf7gIMY/s320/DSCN0935.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: justify;">While I was working on this card I noticed that Jimbo was very intently watching something on the ceiling. I thought that perhaps it was a shadow, as the morning sun was shining in the window. </span><span style="text-align: justify;"></span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;">
</span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SooGgcvXwpg/Vlh-geNvbeI/AAAAAAAAQps/CcV1xzDko3o/s1600/11-14-15%2Ba.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SooGgcvXwpg/Vlh-geNvbeI/AAAAAAAAQps/CcV1xzDko3o/s320/11-14-15%2Ba.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="text-align: justify;">But he kept sitting there a long time and was very focused on something. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-A1rlKGviAKI/Vlh-tzm7wqI/AAAAAAAAQp4/xpzhAPOyi8U/s1600/11-14-15%2Bb.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-A1rlKGviAKI/Vlh-tzm7wqI/AAAAAAAAQp4/xpzhAPOyi8U/s320/11-14-15%2Bb.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then he moved to the window and continued watching something in this same spot. I had my close work glasses on and could not see anything but then was concerned maybe it was a spider or some such thing and I don't like spiders! </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9I06Sb6oIb4/Vlh_SvYxuiI/AAAAAAAAQp8/8nnpmeEkSRI/s1600/11-14-15%2Bc.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9I06Sb6oIb4/Vlh_SvYxuiI/AAAAAAAAQp8/8nnpmeEkSRI/s320/11-14-15%2Bc.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At this point Jimbo looked at me like 'don't you see what I see?' and so I got up from my work table to see what it was . . . .</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q7RVeer5peA/Vlh_dFrOYVI/AAAAAAAAQqE/mfGFpagPijQ/s1600/11-14-15%2Bd.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q7RVeer5peA/Vlh_dFrOYVI/AAAAAAAAQqE/mfGFpagPijQ/s320/11-14-15%2Bd.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;">and here it is - a tiny little ladybug! No wonder I couldn't see anything! Good eyesight, Jimbo!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1ayhK7fUruA/Vlh_8iFL5ZI/AAAAAAAAQqM/oOHLXhucDQs/s1600/11-14-15%2Be.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="224" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1ayhK7fUruA/Vlh_8iFL5ZI/AAAAAAAAQqM/oOHLXhucDQs/s320/11-14-15%2Be.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
