New cards added

I've added some new cards to my Everydayartgallery if you'd like to take a look.
I haven't got anything new to share with you, sorry. The muse is elusive these days.

EverydayArtGallery is Live!

I have a few cards (to start) for sale on EverydayArtGallery! Once I figure out how to do it, I'll make a link in my sidebar. Email me if you have questions. And thanks for looking!

Asian Orchid

I had a little trouble making this one- I love the Stampin Up paper, but it screams 80's peach and green! I think as long as I stick to all peach (technically, coral) or all green I'll be OK. :)

Fall Tree

So, here is the card I made with my fall tree image from the last post. The rustic/twill/button/twine thing is different for me, but I like this one.
I've been toying with the idea of selling my cards online for a while. When I signed up for an Etsy account I ran into a roadblock. They want my credit card info, even though all transactions are PayPal. I will not give them my private cc info when they don't need it! When I emailed them, they intimated that they would be changing that policy "in the very near future" but, I'm still waiting. So, long story short, I'm going to try selling on a blog for now. When I get it all set up, I'll let you know!

Friends

I am having some serious creativity issues. I don't understand how something I love to do is so hard to do. I go in my stamp studio and I'm overwhelmed. I can't choose a stamp, I can't choose paper. Making one card can take days, or longer. I've gone through this before, so I'm hoping its only my regular winter blahs.
On to the card. This one actually came together fairly quickly, even though it started out differently than it ended up! I really tried to make it with something other than a butterfly. I had a fall tree all ready, with glittery leaves, but, in the end, its another butterfly.
Its an easel card, I love a different fold. I used a Mojo Monday sketch.
I should go now and make a card with the fall tree.....

Cracked Floral

I got may tags as done, and was so glad to be finished that didn't remember to take a photo. When I get the swap returned, I'll upload pictures.
This is my first stamping just for me- kind of - they are for an exchange, in a while. I've never done the crack thing, so I thought I'd try it. I couldn't seem to get any ink down into the cracks, so they don't show real well, but overall I'm pleased with it. The stamp is by Karen Lockhart.
I'm making a bit of a change on the blog- I'll no longer do a card info. Usually by the time I type this I've forgotten who makes the various papers used anyway. I'll post the stamp manufacturer, if I remember!

Checking in....

I've been stamping, inking, cutting, coloring my fingers to the bone, but nothing to share just yet. I'm in three Christmas Alphabet Tag swaps, (28 tags each) and I want them all done by Friday. And I started Sunday. Why do I always leave the big swaps to the last minute? And why do my ideas get more and more detailed?? Five layers on a tag? Little tiny crystals on each snowflake? Cutting out 28 tiny pairs of mittens? Sheesh! :)
I joined Facebook! Now while I'm no tech whiz, I'm not a complete internet moron either. I get that some sites have ads taylored just to me. But when I signed up for Facebook (never having visited the site) they show you all these "suggestions" for friends- how are they all people I know from blogs or email?? It feels a little creepy, like someone's watching.
Anyway, I'm almost "friendless" so look for me on Facebook, ok?
