New Image Transfer with Sheer Heaven

Good morning! I completed an image transfer last week for a dear friend's husband. He was turning 50 so I wanted to do a special picture for him of his wife, Debbie & their dog, Shadow. This photograph was actually taken by one of them. I altered it a little at befunky.com
The transfer is 6x8 inches & I was very pleased with the results.
HAPPY TUESDAY!

Happy Earth Day! Do your bit for Mother Earth

Happy Earth Day Everyone! There are many things we can do to save Mother Earth but one thing we can do that is so easy is to simply plant a tree!
This is one of the best things you can do for your mother Earth. Plant a sapling or bury a few seeds in your garden soil and watch it grow. If you do not have a garden, buy a pot and fill it with soil. Bury the seeds down into the soil and moisten them daily to let them sprout seedlings in a few weeks. It is a small but significant way on your part to contribute more oxygen to the atmosphere.

This morning I am posting a GORGEOUS quilt that my best friend, Phyllis (from The Woodlands, TX.) made for me. This is only her 3rd or 4th quilt she's made. I think she is a genius at the sewing machine. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful friend make something so beautiful for me. Thank you so much, Phyllis. I truly love you!!!

2nd post....some pretty flowers for your enjoyment.

Beaming With Pride For Alexis

I am devoting my morning post to my dear niece, Alexis. She was chosen (by the faculty of the Humanities dept at San Francisco State) to be the Undergraduate Department honoree & as such to represent ALL the graduates in the department at the Undergraduate Honors.
They go on to say....the honoree is suppose to be meritorious for academic achievement (GPA) but also for achievements that can't simply be quantified by a grade. (Here's the great part) IN YOUR CASE, THAT EXTRA ACHIEVEMENT WAS OVERWHELMINGLY DETERMINED TO BE WHAT YOU BRING TO THE CLASSROOM AS A STUDENT-A VORACIOUS APPETITE FOR KNOWLEDGE & A JOYFUL ENGAGEMENT WITH INTELLECTUAL, SOCIAL & PHILOSOPHICAL DEBATE. IT IMPROVES THE INTELLECTUAL EXPERIENCE OF YOUR CLASSMATES & MAKES YOUR TEACHERS FEEL THAT THEIR LABOR HAS BORNE FRUIT. THERE WAS STRONG COMPETITION BUT YOU WERE THE UNANIMOUS (YES, I SAID UNANIMOUS) FIRST CHOICE!!!
YOU ENRICH THE DEPARTMENT. Alex, I am so very proud of you!!!

Bingo Betty ATC & Gail's Pics from the Tulip Festival

The weekend is upon us already......says the retired individual! The weeks just seem to fly by. I am posting a couple of things today. First off is some pictures taken by my sister, Gail last weekend on her visit to the Tulip Festival in Skagit County, Washington. I included a pic of Gail in one of the pics. It was my favorite.
The next thing is an ATC card I call Bingo Betty. She does not appear to be at all pleased with her new Bingo hat.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

More Tweedles Today

I had to post another picture of Tweedles today. She sent me a little note last night along with another picture & her note said:
Dear Aunt Diane
I like this doggy living in our house.
Mommy keeps moving it everywhere -taking more and more pic. I just keep following her around.
love
tweedles
Needless to say....I MELTED when I received this. Is she not just the cutest little thing? Tweedles, I am so glad you & your moms are enjoying this so much!

New Picture Of Tweedles

Good morning! Through my blog surfing I have found some wonderful canine blogs. It just happens that I fell in love with a little Pug named Tweedles up in Oregon. Tweedles is the apple of her mom's eyes....she's lucky enough to have two moms that love her madly. I wanted to do a picture of Tweedles for her moms to surprise them.
I worked & worked because I wanted it to come out perfect. Well, it didn't come out perfect but after three tries it did turn out pretty cute. It is a 12x12 image transfer done with Sheer Heaven paper. I am posting the pic I took of it before I mailed it & a picture from Tweedles moms showing her reaction to the picture. I know she is wondering where that drop dead gorgeous pug in the picture came from. Thank you guys so much for sending the pics! Check out their blog at http://tweedles-georgie.blogspot.com/. You probably won't be able to click the link as for some reason I can't seem to get clickable links anymore GRRRRRR!
Happy Tuesday!

Two More Trades

Here's a couple more trading cards I made last week. I am really enjoying these. What's extra nice too is that they are small & don't take up much room. I have so many image transfers from the past couple of years I believe I could fill a closet!
I think it's about time for another giveaway.
Have a wonderful creative weekend!

Two New Trading Cards

Tuesday, April 6TH is here! Where is the year going?? Here's a couple of new
trading cards I did yesterday. Just love making these little things but these are small enough for me! I really don't know how people do inchies...those are awfully small for my liking but find it amazing how creative people are with a 1 inch square area. I do want to add (& I keep forgetting) that the images I am using mostly come from Lisa's Altered Art, & some from Julia at Cemerony & Gaby Braun at Gaby Cajubrasil. I would list their links but I am having a problems with clickable links now. I can't seem to get them to work anymore.....so FRUSTRATING!
Wishing you all a happy Tuesday!

Some Fun ATCs

Good morning! I am still rolling along with the ATCs this morning. Had some fun creating some funky combinations. I have started my Complex Collage class which I will be working on this weekend also. The class is conducted by Julie Prichard & Chris Cozen. See Julie's website at http://julieprichard.squarespace.com/complex-collage
Stop by & check it out.
Wishing you all a creative weekend!

Another ATC

These atc's (I'm told, are addictive!) You were right! I am fighting with myself this morning to do the things I NEED to do & not the things I WANT to do. Once again, I am going to cram it all in this morning so I can play this afternoon.
It's pretty chilly outside so that's a good excuse to stay in. I have posted another ATC I made yesterday. This is (obviously) my catfish.
