New Designs!

FINALLY! I received an email this morning from Shari asking where my blog had disappeared to! I had no idea Blogger was misbehaving, but I sent them an email and within 5 minutes, here it is again! The squeeky wheel gets the oil!

I have been working hard doing design work for Paper Artsy the last couple of days and experimenting with some new materials.

The first pic is of a collage I did (Paper Artsy stamps with Cosmo Cricket paper-it's a good marriage, doncha think?) and the second is a see-through envelope I created. We have this tradition in our family that everone has an envelope on the tree, nestled in the branches. It's the last thing to be opened and contains money or lotto tickets or both. I thought it would be fun to have envelopes you could see through. You could also put gift certificates in them. I am pleased with how they came out.


In case you haven't peeked at Paper Artsy's website lately, they have a new line of rubber called Urban Snapshots
by Julie Harrington. I have some new plates on the way to my house and I can't wait to work with them!

Also, in case you missed it in a previous post, Paper Artsy has a new blog! I expect to see great things there!

Thanks to everyone who has been asking about my hand-it's improving with the help of some hardcore anti-inflammatory medication. Believe me, when you work with your hands and then suddenly you can't, it's pretty disconcerting! I am just glad it's something they could fix. I can handle going deaf, but if I lose my hands, I'm sunk!
