I received these inchies from Joy the last of the Recycled/Kitchen theme for this month. It looks like Joy went with the kitchen theme. My favorite is the toaster, you can not see it from the picture but she even used some thin plastic tubing for the electrical cord. Joy always puts in a lot of detail, I think she must have good eyesight and tiny fingers.



Next is a card from Sue F requesting me to smile. Well all she is going to get fro right now is 1/2 a smile. I need to get my bottom teeth to fit better before I can wear them. But everything is healing up real nice and soon I will be smiling with brand mew pearly white teeth.










Last but not least Linda sent me this real cute cat card. she used fabric for this card and each cat is mounted on a different shape of card stock. I think her cat must have slept on the card before Linda mailed it as Fatso will not leave the card alone.

The Mail Keeps Rolling In

I have received some really great mail this past week.
Rachel sent this Feel Better Soon card and it is in "PINK" My favorite color.








This card is my next card from the "Layered" swap. Liane really outdid herself again. I love the fabric heart. This card was colored in with the copics, I am learning a lot from her on how to use them.









Last but not least......Jan sent her "Recycled" inchies. Way cool. She put a lot of thought into them. My favorite is the Monopoly one....made from Monopoly money and a game piece from the travel game. The others are great too..The letter "S" was punched out from an advertisement and scrabble letters added. I thinbk I see an other theme developing here. The mail box, very cleaver, was punched from a postcard. Last but not least....the music was from a recycled sheet of music. Love these inchies, great job, thanks Jan.

Happy Face-Day

I just received this card from Jan. It says "Hope your day is the happy-face kind!" I just love it as it is so cute. I can't help but wonder if Jan used the smiley face, just to show me how one can smile even if they have no teeth. LOL

I Love Mail

This get well card is from Anna, who really out did herself as usual. This card has to be seen in person to appreciate it. anna used a clear overlay on this card, giving it the touch of ellegance that is so Anna's style.








This card is from Linda. I love how the cat is peeking from behind the flowers, it reminds me of her cat.











This card is from my swap partner Liane. This months theme is "Layers" and this card is very layered. I love how Liane has chosen to use different things besides paper to layer this card. Depending on how you count it...there are 7 layers to this card.

It's An Inchie Thing

I received this set of "F" themed inchies in the mail yesterday. Everyone did a great job, my favorite one is the pink one on top it is "The Fickle Finger of Fate Award" that Anna did, I love it! Thank you everyone who participated in the swap.....Anna, Jan, Liz F, Roc, & Kathy E, you all did a good job.

Its A Layered Thing

I received my 2nd card from Liane in our layered swap. I like how she did a patriotic theme.







Linda sent me a thank you layered card. I did not know we were supposed to send thank yous for a thank you gift? I am glad she did.

New Swap

I have started a new round of swaps with the s-cubed group. For the next 6 weeks Laine will be sending me cards. The theme is Layers and each card must have at least 3 layers. This card has 6 layers to it and it is soooo cool. Laine used the sewing machine for this card...very cleaver.

I also received my inchies from the Alien swap that Trish is hosting. I like all the inchies I received. Eventually these will be framed and displayed in the....Sci-Fi room! Thanks to ALL who participated you did great!

Still Catching Up

I started cleaning up the craft room and I found the Black and white inchies that Lynn sent to me before I left for vacation. I am amazed on how everyone did something completely different using the black and white theme.









Jan is quite on the ball and has sent out her celestial inchies for this months theme. I haven't even started mine yet, as I needed to get some get well and birthday cards done and mailed out. I plan to get them done and in the mail no later than Monday.





I also received the last swap card from Linda. She used the just released cat from Magenta and it is done in my favorite color PINK. I think this cat looks just like Fatso and as always I love the eyes Linda uses for her cats. I have gotta order some more of them for myself. I tried using them on one of my owls, but the owl looked like he was mad. I guess you just can't put cat eyes on an owl.

Catching Up

I have quite a lot of stuff to catch up on so here it comes.









These two cards are from Linda who is stamping for me in the current s-cubed swap. Linda and I both love cats. I think Linda has every cat stamp ever made.
I received these inchies from a swap that Trish is hosting. The theme is Birthday. I really like all the inchies and thanks to EVERYONE who participated, it is so much fun to see what other people are doing.





These inchies are from Joy. The two themes here are Celestial, along with Black & White.
The little bubble one filled with confetti is quite unique, unfortunatelly it does not show up well here.
My favorite one is the Panda.






Last but not least inchies from one of the yahoo groups themed "E" if you remember I did Eeyore inchies for this swap. Again everyone did a great job.


If I have forgotten to post your art work, I apologize. I cleaned things up before I went on vacation. I sorted and filed all the art that was sitting by the computer. I separate all my inchies according to categories (not necessarily according to theme) and file them until I have enough to frame.

This past week we were supposed to use ribbon on our cards for the s-cubed swap. Linda sent this cute cat. The eyes on this cat are quite unusual, I wish I knew where Linda gets them from, as I really need to order some. I guess I will just have to ask her for the 6th time.

Swap Card

I received this card from Linda the other day. Linda knows how much I love pigs and did this pig on vellum.

My New Blog

I decided that I need a place where I can show off the really cool art that you, my family and friends send to me. I needed to keep this wonderful mail separated from the stuff I do.
So the first card to appear here is a beautiful card form Kelly. I was lucky and won the drawing from her blog to receive a Copic Sketch marker B21 and she sent this card along with it. I really needed this color (and a few others) to copmpleate the pallet of colors Copic offers.



The next card is the card Linda sent me from the s-cubed swap, we needed to add bling on the card this week. The card is much nicer in pearson and is done in pastels that the camera just is not picking up.
