Something fishy

Artwork by Jane in San Diego

The above card is gorgeous in real life. A scan just doesn't do it justice. It actually is 3-D, and the images are by My Paper Moon. The fish can be found here and the tassel can be found here.

Do you have any plans for the weekend? I just found out about Q-Fest, which is a local barbeque cook-off festival that's this weekend in a neighboring community, so I think we are going there. They also have a marketplace with arts and crafts, and I HAVE to check THAT out.

The weather has cooled off a bit and it's wonderful. I so look forward to this time of year. I like it even a tiny bit cooler. I like the colors of fall and the leaves when they change colors. That's one of the things I miss out on by living here, but I surely enjoy seeing photos of the fall foliage. Crisp mornings and cool days = wonderful.

Okay, I have some orders to get out and some invoices to do, so I'm out of here. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Do something crafty!

Lifeguard Cat

I was playing around this weekend, and this is my creation. The Lifeguard Cat is a fun stamp to play with. And of course I had to use the fish bone (he had lunch, right?), the birds, the buzzing bee, and the grass. The front of the umbrella is popped out with pop dots to give it dimension. This cat would also look good with the pool stamp in the background. If you haven't seen the pool stamp, go to http://www.mypapermoon.com/, and type pool in the search box. All stamps are from My Paper Moon, http://www.mypapermoon.com.

I made some ATC's also, which I will show you tomorrow. I love to make ATC's. A compact little canvas with endless possibilities.

I'll talk to you tomorrow!
