Alcohol ink challenge

A Yahoo group to which I belong issued a challenge using alcohol inks.  I can never do just one...so here are 7 cards I made.

Valentine's Day Cards

I've been busy making Valentine's.  Will you be mine?

Grrr...I can't make this upload a slideshow...

Tina time!

My niece, Tina, is here tonight.  We are getting lots of snow and I think she's hoping for no school tomorrow.  Anyhow, this is what she made for me!  I really like the colors and designs in the letters.

Cardmaking

Since we had so many days off I made a few cards. I embroidered cupcakes which were drawn freehand on muslin.  Using the Tonic punch system I made a border of cupcakes.  Another card was using vellum and a stencil that Rianne, my "sister" from The Netherlands sent me.  Also, the embroidered frame card was using a sticker that Rianne sent.

Gift card holders

I had some friends over and we made several gift card holders.  Here are a couple of them. The one with the cow has a coin holder inside which we made with decorated background paper.

Dec 7, 2009 Pearl Harbor Rememberance Day

I arrived in Honolulu, Hawaii on Pearl Harbor Rememberance Day and stayed for the week at Hickam Air Force Base.  From what I hear, it was a good week NOT to be in Michigan!  The family I stayed with is related to my niece and they were really fun & wonderful to me.  Every day I trekked off to Waikiki Beach for a conference.  It seemed funny to see Christmas decorations up mingled with palm trees.  I've lived in Michigan all my life and Christmas = snow and cold weather!
