Definition of an Artist Revisted

A while ago, I mentioned my definition of an artist. Today, my niece was painting a chain of paper dolls. When she was done, she showed them to me and said, “Look, Aunt Kate, isn’t it beautiful? That makes me an artist.” I think I like her definition - an artist is someone who makes […]

Mardi Gras Stamping Fun

If you are planning to celebrate Mardi Gras this year, you won’t want to miss Stamp Zia’s Mardi Gras stamps. I want them all, but the Phoenix mask is my favorite. With these stamps as a base, making your own elaborate masks should be easy.

A Trunkful Valentine’s Card

The inside of this card reads “Sending you a trunkful of love on Valentine’s Day” but you could send a similar card for other holidays or just because. I stamped the trunk image (by Posh Impressions) on cork and embossed it. I filled it with hearts, hugs and kisses. If you have a bottle image […]
