The card was made with papers from Websters, Glitz and a...

I have a throwback for Artsy Friday: Bloom. She's a pencil and watercolor pencil piece I did in 2008. I spiced up some colors with an app but the original is all greyscale. I'm thinking about coloring some of my older pencil pieces but this is one I don't think I'd ever touch. I love her just the way she is. I have a different piece that I did when I went with copics over pencil but lawd...

Artsy Friday: Violin Gwen edition this week. I played the trumpet since elementary and picked up a couple other instruments in my time but how a violin sounds when played by someone with all the years of experience and finesse makes me want to pick it up. This image, when it comes out at Some Odd Girl, is going to give you fabric fold lovers/haters a run for you money! I wanted her very...

Yesterday was my best friend, Leah's, birthday and this Apple Card and Frame is what I sent her as a gift. The frame is meant as a reminder that I'll always be here for her, there's a story behind the pic but that's between her and me ;) The card was made to coordinate with the frame, Honeycrisp apples are her absolute FAV so I thought the Apple stamp, from the Fruit Salad stamp set by...
