Happy Mother's Day!!

   To each and every mom out there, I hope this day is filled with joy, no work and being surrounded by all those you hold dear!
   Happy Mother's Day!
   Even though I don't think I got my creative side from my mother, I know there are many traits I did get. And I couldn't be more proud of that. She is the hardest working person I know and she never complains about all that is expected of her.
   I hope that my future kids love and admire me as much as I do her. Thanks mom!
 
   I used a new technique on my mother's (and mother-in-law's) card, watercoloring. It was awesome fun!! I will try to get a picture, but wanted to get this post up. (Sorry the picture quality is not better, I've already got it sealed in a clear envelope). I used the Simple Beauty stamp set and the retired Key to My Heart paper pack.
   Happy Sunday!


watercolor technique: hopefully this card will help you. if not, please e-mail me or post a comment.
Needed: Waterbrush Medium: Avoid spills with the waterbrush. Fill the handle with water or other liquids, then use with inks, watercolor paints, chalks, or watercolor pencils for a soft, muted look. Instructions included on package and Watercolor Pencils.

My attempts at photo editing sites ...

Hey there blog readers! I know, I know, I was supposed to be posting more regularly ... I'm sorry. But my garage sale is done, so that means I should have more time to post, right? The reason I am posting today is for that Nebraska Learns class I talked about at the beginning of the month. Nothing like procrastinating - today is the last day I can complete it! ;) I am actually really enjoying this first "assignment." Our assignment was to play with photo editing sites. For my scrapbooking friends out there, I'm thinking this could do wonders for your already wonderful pages! As I was working on my second picture, I had an idea. There are many pictures - like that particular one - that I'd like to include in my scrapbook, but can't make myself create a whole page for a picture of a flower ... but can you imagine putting this photo of the flower on it?

Happy May Day! Pampered Chef style!

   Today - May 1 - marks the beginning of two important things; both in Close to My Heart and The Pampered Chef.    I will make two separate posts so as not to confuse or undermine the importance for each company. Today's post will focus on The Pampered Chef. Check tomorrow or Monday to find out what's so special about May for Close to My Heart.    For The Pampered Chef, May 1 marks the 11th year of our Help With Cancer campaign.
