My son has been working in a town where he spends many hours driving to and from..we have made a decision to move there..I have encouraged my folks to get physical therapy for mama and massage therapist and she has. When I first came back to their house she was in a dark corner sitting in her chair bed and she had given up on life..she acts like she is living again..and i am so glad.
I can step back out into my life again and I am glad of that.
hope everyone has a great evening.

smeared and smudged new smudgy antics challenge

January 2013 New Smudgy Antics challenge piece......The Envelope....

I chose to make a card with a envelope on the inside pocket...I used decorative paper and my new stamps from smeared Ink..not all of them...I am still making new projects with the ones I did not use here..but for tonight..I think I shall just have to show you.
This is the front I used two different stamps from my new collection ...
This is my pocket with a tag i made...
this is the front of the tag and the little cherub shows up with the ribbons on the front of the card


 
Happy Sunday everyone.This is my stampers anonymous swap for January.
The theme is masking tape...and stripes..so at first I was totally thrown I must admit than I began to play and I began to see the possibilities.
I made a total of four but leave one up for the element of surprise on delivery..
I used distress inks and stains..my stamps are studio 490 (stampers anonymous) and Tim Holtz also (stampers anonymous).
Thanks for looking and if you have the time give this technique a try..it is fun.
