There is Beauty All Around...

Sometimes all you have to do is look up.

Our House, in the Middle of....

Somerset Studio! She's absolutely ecstatic her Haunted House is on page 56 of the September/October 2009 issue. She's in stellar company with Bernie Berlin, Claudine Hellmuth, Tim Holtz, Amy Powers, Carla Sonheim, Jane Wynn and the Fabulous Wendy Vecchi.
Ranger issued a challenge and gave each artist Claudine Hellmuth Products, a paper mache rectangle and an piece of cardboard. The results were displayed in the Ranger booth at the Craft & Hobby Association (CHA) Winter 2009 Trade Show. What is featured in Somerset is but a taste of all the wondrous houses submitted. Each house showcases the unique talents of each artist. She tips her hat (& brush) to all the marvelous artists who participated in the challenge. Bravo! Bellissima!

A Sunny Summer Day...

Have you ever watched the sunlight dance over a plant?

Bright Things Ahead...

The best is yet to come...

Me & My Shadow...

Do we accept our dark side, or refuse to acknowledge it. Do we stuff it down till it rears up and bites us?

Ch-Ch-Changes....

We could not stand still even if we wanted to. The earth we stand on is revolving. Growth involves change. It can be scary, it can be exciting, it can be both. To be alive is to change. Embrace evolution...and smile!

Meow! She's in Paper Crafts Magazine!

Her 'Meow at the Moon' card is on page 46 of the September/October 2009 Issue of Paper Crafts and she's purring with pleasure! She used Adirondack Alcohol Inks, Ink Applicator, Alcohol Ink Fillable Pen and Pitch Black Pigment Ink to make this spooky Halloween card. Stamping in conjunction with doodling is fun, fast and looks great! Try it and see!

Lightning Bugs at Dusk...

She watches, mesmerized as the twinkling lights of the fireflies usher in night.

Leave It To Cleaver...

A hot, humid day, a cleaver, a cutting board and some young coconuts.........Yummmmmm!
