AEDM6 Lino card -pattern

I made this card using a small, hand cut block from an eraser.

We got these erasers from the Dollar Store and they cut so smoothly and cleanly.

I used the Speedball cutter and inks from Stampin' Up.

I have little space right now so I cannot use my Speedball ink.

This is so portable and works for me during this time as we are displaced.

Take care and have a great day!

Getting ready for a holiday boutique

Tomorrow I'm participating in a private home party, a small holiday boutique. I don't expect to have a lot of sales but it's getting me started again with selling my work. I haven't sold anything in quite a while and it will also allow me to get ready for my Etsy...I have been putting that off long enough! Here are some linocuts I did and I'm using them to make cards and making small prints for gift tags:) The black version is the best because that's printed on good quality paper . The reds and greens are printed on cards made of watercolor paper. I am working away:)

Some New Cards and Sunday News

I made up some additional Valentine's Day cards (and one thank you). I have a nice LOVE stamp that I used a couple of different times. The flower I used in the green thank you card is from Stampin' Up that I bought from Barbara/Marji. This is a great way to wind down and get creative with quick results.

I am going to start painting again. I just joined the South Lake Art League (http://www.southlakeartleague.com/) so I'll need to start getting out the brushes again. There is going to be a photography show at the League this week and I'll be helping with hanging the show. The woman arranging that told me that there were quite a bit of entries. So, I am looking forward to seeing the photos that are entered.

After church today Joey and I went to the farmers market with Hope, Rick and the kids. We stopped in at Sugar Mama's Sweet Shop. Boy, they have such delicious cupcakes. I took home a Key Lime cupcake. Joey and the girls ate theirs right there. I hope they have great success, their treats are so good! Later, Joey and I went and picked up his friend Tony and I took the two of them to the lake. Joey and Tony have such a great time together and Tony is such a nice kid, I am so glad Joey has such a good friend in him.
