This question was: “What have you found lately?”



This one took a long time. In the end I decided to make it about freedom. I feel freer and happier than I have in a long long time. So here’s to my newfound freedom.



I cut a transparency in a tag shape and used a collection of alcohol inks on it and some copper mixative. I then stamped it with a music stamp and put some butterflies and a few letter stickers. I don’t really like how it turned out but honestly I can’t ever get the alcohol inks right no matter how much I try. These tags are for experimenting after all so I am letting this one stay.

This question was: “Have you had a hug today?”



I am lucky that I get and give hugs all day long. My husband and kids are very generous with that.



I stamped with the clock and used clear embossing powder. I then inked over it and added two clock faces and spinners.

This question was: “How can i be kinder to myself…?”



I need to love myelf more. Be kinder to myself and allow myself to make mistakes without judging myself so much.



I covered the background in red ink, stamped the little hearts with embossing stamp, embossed with clear powder, stamped the tree, cut it out, tied a small baker’s twine, and a little bling (of course), a few letters and I was done. It’s hard to see the little hearts but in person it looks neat.

This week’s question was “If you had a free day with NO restrictions…what would you choose to do?”



Family. Art. Books. Sleep. Honestly, it’s all I ever need.

This week’s question was “What gives me hope?””



I am in the middle of big changes in my life. Lots of new beginnings and exciting possibilities. They are making me giddy with excitement and hope. It’s like the first day of school. The clean notebooks. All that possibility. All that hope of starting over and getting it right this time around. That’s how I feel.



Just cut out some papers and added some bling for this one. And a butterfly of course.

This week’s question was “What is your superpower”



I had to think about this one for a while. My first instinct was to write what I might put down on a self-evaluation at work. I am good at getting things done. I execute. This is something that has allowed me to accomplish a lot in my life and it has allowed me to be successful in my career. But, then again, it’s not really my superpower.



My true superpower, i believe, is that i stick by people and will do anything for them. Pleasing others and seeing them happy gives me indescribable joy and I will do pretty much anything to see them happy. I give and love wholeheartedly.

Just some misting and epoxies for this one. And stitching.
