World Card Making Day

Recently, I found out about World Card Making Day on Paper Craft Magazine. This event is to kick off card making season for the upcoming holidays.  So in celebration, I worked on several cards.

One of them was a birthday card for award winning singer Ms. India Arie.  She is one of my favorite artist.  She celebrated her birthday yesterday and I was happy to be able to send her this beautiful gift.  India is such a  giving artist and I hope to inspire her the way her music inspires me.  If you go to my music page the first song is hers. If you haven't heard her music before, check it out sometime. Fantastic!


I enjoyed making this card. For a while now I have dreamed of using peacock feathers and this seemed to be the perfect card to start with. Love these feathers! They are so vibrant and beautiful. Then I enjoyed using my new Webster's Pages and Prima flowers.  Those gold glitter images were fun, too. These colors and elements seems to reflect India's style. Very fun card!

Soul Sistah Painting

I love trying new things in art. It is like an adventure and a hearty challenge. So after I saw this picture of the soul singer Ledisi, I just had to try it. Love the dark eye shadow and the head tilted. So dramatic! When I first tried adding the blue eye shadow to my painting it looked cool to me. But when I had my hubby look at it he nicely told me the blue I did made her eyes look hollow! LOL! So I went back and added a lighter blue and that did it! So here are some pictures showing the progression of my version of Ledisi. Thanks for stopping by! Have a super day.

My Birthday Blog Party

Welcome to my Birthday Blog Party! I am starting my celebration early to fully enjoy my day. My actual birthday is May 29th but why not start early right? :) When I think of birthdays past, they were always such exciting times for me. Many of my birthdays were celebrated with fun parties from my childhood to my young adult years. I loved all of those special parties and to this day, I still love it. Maybe this is where my love for event planning all started. At my 3rd birthday, my parents gave me a big one. I don't really remember but the pictures are so cool. I had lots of kids there, a clown, a little merry-go-round ride and lots of games. I had a white little outfit on and was looking so cute for a Spring party. Boy, I looked so happy! Also, I was brave not to be afraid of the clown, too. My mom was holding me as I blew the candles out. Another year, I had my first slumber party. That was so fun! I invited several friends and a cousin. It was so great to have m
