gecko galz giveaway challenge

lovely helene at lotsa scrap is hosting a challenge requiring participants to use an image from gecko galz which is available at her blog.  she has extended the deadline to december 24 so there is time to play if you wish.  my schedule these past few months has prevented me from very much art-making.  i'm looking forward to a few days of quiet unscheduled time after christmas.  but i really wanted to use this image and participate in helene's challenge now.  so i stole some hours on a work night and here is my little piece.

enjoy; love to all.

a little more play with the scribble borders technique from the latest technique junkies newsletter.

love to all.

tea party on pink saturday

i made this card for sweet cheryl at cheryls creative cards.  sadly she was in an awful car accident a couple months ago and it is taking a long time to recover.  send your love and thoughts her way. she is a dear one and such a talented artist.  we certainly must remember to cherish each moment and be grateful for every bit of health and wellness.

i'm also honoring pink saturday with this dear little tea party card.  the main image is from the dover publications free samples.

love to all.
