Goin' to the Dogs!

This is a good phrase to live by! Happy July 4th to all!

A little birdie told me - Memory Box is great!

I love this card. It's a take off of a sample from Memory Box and I just love all the stamps - and the Memory Box cards are just wonderful!

Special Day Card!

I made this card with a Stampin Up set. I was trying to not use traditional birthday colors - and I think it worked. What do you think?

My cards are back!

Whoo HOO - my technical difficulties are no more! So finally I can post some more cards that I have made.

This one was part of a birthday set I made for a friend. This one had a lot of cutting ... but I enjoyed it.

Thank you Andrea!

Andrea treated me to a Burt Bacharach concert tonight at the Strathmore Music Center in Bethesda, Maryland.

WOW - this man really has written most of the pop hits of my life - and many before my life began. He looks a little like a combo of James Coburn and Aaron Spelling with a bad back.

I didn't know he wrote "Close to You" by the Carpenters and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence" and of course "What's New Pussycat" ....

If you get a chance to go to the Strathmore - it's lovely.

More soon - Chrisi

Stormy Weather...

Hello, boy did we have some storms yesterday. Crazy - even a tornado touched down a mile from my house. Well there must have been winds because this is my tree ... but my neighbor's garage.

I'm thankful no one was outside and the dogs were safe. How hard must the wind have been to just pull this 60 foot tree from the ground and actually snap fence poles?

Mother Nature is a force that is for sure.

Still have technical difficulties linking to my card scans - it's getting fixed this weekend. Please come back. Thanks - Chrisi

I see you ....

Le Faux Miroir (The False Mirror) is a painting by Rene Magritte -- and I love it. I took this picture of the painting when I visited the MoMA in New York City.

I thought I'd share while I try to fix some technical difficulties linking to pictures of my card art.
