Last week LuAnn and I got together for a day of stamping and mostly die cutting so here are a few picks:
and we're off! My water for the T Stands for Tuesday gals :)
This is only a snippet of the die cutting we did! Needless to say I was exhausted that evening, and sadly have yet a chance to share some finished cards...but we had a great time as always! Thank you for everything Ms LuAnn!
Here is the Mother's Day card I just made for my Mom:
and lastly, there is a new theme over at Art Journal Journey this month - "journeys" and it is being hosted by my friend Erika (BioArtGal). This is my first entry for this wonderful theme:
I was thinking about what I wanted to create when these words popped in my head. So I quickly wrote them down and created the page around them. I am also linking this to Try It On Tuesday for the theme of "vintage photo", and later this week to Paint Party Friday.
Have a glorious week and weekend and a happy, happy Mother's Day to all who will be celebrating!

ReplyDeleteYou AJJ journal page is fantastic....and so very true.
What a fun time the two of you must have had with all the stamps and dies.....looking forward to see your finished art with them.
Happy T-day and thanks for the visit and the comment.
Looks like LyAnn and you had a lot of fun, playing with her big machine. The card for your mum looks gorgeous, and I like the words that popped into your head.
ReplyDeletewhat an elegant card and i love your journal page

It's fun spending crafting time with friends isn't it? I love the card you made your Mum! Your journal page is brilliant -I haven't had time to play along yet but hope to soon! Happy T day! Chrisx
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lot of "cutting up " was going on there :) You'll get around to using them all before you know it. Love the card that you did get finished!!! Happy T Day! I still have to decide what to do about Mother's Day too.
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy and having fun. I can tell. What are you going to make with all those die cuts? And I love your AJJ piece. That is a great quote and I love the images. Happy T Day. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThe die cutter is perfect for making intricate cards, isn't it? You did an excellent job with what you made for your mother. Can you imagine doing all that cutting without a die cutter? I sure can't. I know your mother will love the card, because I think it's terrific.
ReplyDeleteI'm also fond of that beautiful AJJ and TioT entry you made. The words are simply perfect, too.
Looks like you had fun with the die cutter, and it can be exhausting. Thanks for sharing your water and fun day with us, as well as your beautiful journal page and Mother's day card with us for T this Tuesday.
What a marvelous page. I can relate! Die cutting machines are so much fun as you will learn quickly. Along with embossing, the dies make terrific focal or backgrounds. Love the card you made for your Mom.
ReplyDeleteSmiling at you having so much fun with a special friend (it can be exhausting LOL)and making some great things too.
ReplyDeleteYour collage AND your quote are perfectly lovely Linda!!!
Happy T Day and Happy May and Happy Mother's Day ♥

Awe, what a beautiful quote!! I love your new page (so romantic ;) and love seeing you in action! Those little birds are the cutest ;) Oh, and you are so sweet about my nails! I'm actually not always a manicure type of girl, but I do always do them before filming ;) and I use a home-based gel nail so that the paint scrapes off :) Happy Mothers' Day! xoxo
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you had a great time Linda. The Mother's Day card is fabulous and the journal page is amazing.
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs

ReplyDeleteHi Linda, I am late this week. I enjoyed seeing your production of cut-outs. I was given a small machine a couple of years ago, but haven't really figured out how to use it! I guess the small bits for cards are a great way! I love both your cards this week. Thank you for stopping by.
