DIVAS create ATCs

 Bobbie presented an ATC project for us at Designing Divas Monday night.  Because of the metallic backgrounds, the shots are not as pretty as they turned out. 

It was a fun theme and she provided several images to choose from along with feathers and other elements.
THANKS, BOBBIE.

Absent from blog world

My hubby fell two weeks ago and severly broke his leg in two places.  He is still in the hospital and they brought him home today for a test run to see how he manages to get into the house; bathroom, bedroom, etc.

He will be using a wheel chair for three months because he cannot put any weight on the leg until September, and cannot use crutches because of his artificial shoulder. 

I am so thankful he designed our home for wheelchair access.  Our son built the ramps to get him into the house last week before he returned to California.

It will be a long summer for me but I'll catch up with all of you as time allows.  I so appreciate your friendship and viewing your creative talents via your blogs.

May Projects Designing Divas

It was my turn to present the projects for May and I selected two cards for the group to duplicate.  The first was a fun summer card with a short double fold at the bottom for the fence and 3D effect.  The area for the door was cut out so thru the screen you could view a stamped message on the inside of the card.  The gals liked this design.

The group created a floral card inspired by my friend Cathy.  It was interesting to see how changing the flower centers by one artist to another made a big difference in the end result.  Below is a photo of my sample card.



Boise River in Eagle

I rarely post anything here unless it is art created; however, the Boise River is at the highest level for more than 12 years.  These photos were taken about two blocks down the street from our home at the end of Bogus View Dr.  Fortunately, we live on the opposite side of the street; plus our lot is higher than most in the area.  We have friends and the river is right up to the edge of their patio which is held back by a retaining wall.  It is beautiful but also scary.  Our neighborhood association has 20,000 sand bags in the event they are needed.

Surprise, Surprise -- CARDS

In April I spent a morning at Cathy's and with friends we created some wonderful cards via Cathy's designs.  Thank you Cathy.

Card for a Friend

This card was quite elegant with the embossed background which doesn't reflect well in the photo.

Easter and Spring Cards

 Unfortunately I didn't get cards made early to mail to my friends outside of the United States so I hope they will each select one one of these and consider it "just for me."

The design for the two above was created by my friend Cathy and I merely changed the message to turn them into an Easter card.   Thanks Cathy.
