lost in space

I made this card for ken. As brilliant,compassionate and insightful as he is ,he (and I) are kinda lost in this mediocre world.I wish we both could change our attitudes.I love him immensely and would like nothing more than to see him content and happy(and at peace with himself and the world.

Finally!

I have made maybe 7 or 8 dress form cards and I finally really like one.I copied my vintage patterns(9 to a page),made miniature scissors out of a coke can,skirt is gathered and hemmed vintage fabric,background is actual size pattern covered w/ tissue to mute it,and last but not least a paper tape measure that I stamped and zigzagged the edges!.A few buttons(should have used vintage,but I just couldn't waste them on a card),a little bit of trim and there it is!

3rd time not the charm,nor4,5,6,7or8

Tried my hand at typewriter buttons again,this time using 2 circle punches.I have a stamp that is typewriter type so I punched out individual letters and mounted them on black paper.Then I copied the "button"paper at 4 to a page and used that as a background for my  buttons to spell out: I love you,hello.and happy birthday. I changed each one a little bit,varying the ribbon, placement of typewriter,etc.,but nothing stuck but my brain.

all of them are o.k. I can't seem to make the type buttons work?! I'll try again,I'm sure, since I love the idea so much!

dodging potholes

My sister,barb,is going through a rough patch,so I'm trying to cheer her up a bit with a few cards a week(hopefully). The lippencott magazine covers and Raq's challenge(sketch #3) inspired this card. The colors are a bit more vibrant in reality,ew.......I'm not liking this photo.

a quick phone call

A very simple, fast card.I'm sending to tom.we don't see each other often enough.

"Oh waiter"

Saw this cartoon on the internet. I just had to make a card with it.I'm sending it to Lars and Ken.They're both really funny and have a good sense of humour.
