BOY did I get away from my website, and let’s be honest-stamping in general.  Many things have contributed to this.  After stpending an AMAZING year being on the Ranger Ink Design Team, I reevaluated where I wanted to do with my career. Did I want to keep working at stamping and crafting and try to [...]

After making my 2008 Christmas card, I wanted to play some more and I still wanted to use the Inkadinkado images that didn’t make it into the card.  (www.inkadinkado.com)   I work part time for Sorenson Video Relay Service and there were many many interpreters that I wanted to give a Christmas greeting.  I didn’t have the time (or enough double stick [...]

I am definitely a summer girl!  I love to be outside, riding my bike, or walking my dog.  But, the only negative aspect about that is I’d rather be outside than in my art room!  So!  Fall is a more “Arty” time for me.  Already, I’ve completed several deadlines in the past week.   The cooler [...]
