Wild and Free by Unity Stamp

I sure had fun creating this card.  The main image is from Unity Stamp Co. called Wild and Free. Stamped on Tim Holtz watercolor paper and watercolored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.  Added Distress Ink in Pumice Stone as a wash to the background. Stamped dots all around flower from MFT.  The sentiment is from PTI.  Die cut scallop border with a die from MFT and mounted on fog cardbase. 

Thanks for looking!

Altenew Watercolor Wonder

I just LOVE this stunning stamp set from Altenew - Watercolor Wonder. 

This card took forever to make. I originally made it for my step moms birthday all on watercolor paper.  I had to cut off the sentiment because I didn't like it and remount it for another occasion. Watercolored with Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Picked Raspberry, Mowed Lawn, Carved Pumpkin and Squeezed Lemonade. I inked up the stamps, spritzed with watercolor and stamped onto Tim Holtz Watercolor Paper.  There are three layers of color on each flower with complete drying time in between. 

This is a case of this card.

Art Cards for Realtors

Love, love loving' my new Art Cards for Realtors!

Take a peek at the full site so far: 

KraftBits

My Square site (above) is where Realtors will go to order.  I will refund shipping and deliver to their offices (Davenport & Bettendorf only) one day a week...probably Saturdays.

Realtors do NOT need to be there to accept delivery.  I will just have the receptionist place in their boxes.

Sam is loving the gorgeous day!!!!  Just a chillin'!

Apartment Therapy

I've taken to reading lots on minimalism.  Not so much the idea of having only 100 things but the idea of enough is enough!  I can't tell you how many things I've returned in the last few months.  I ask myself "Do I really NEED this?"  While reading great blogs on minimalism I happened upon a neat website Apartment Therapy.  They have something called a Small Cool Contest.  Click here to see some of the fun entries for 2012!

The shot above is from this article.  LOVE the space.  I could so live in an area that size.  If there were cool studio condos available here I'd rent or buy one in a heartbeat.  I really don't need all 1350 sf of my newest condo :)

Enjoy!
