A Sunny December Sunday

Today is special for many reasons....
and we have a lot to talk about!   

We will have a birthday celebration for our "perfect grandson" Jake.   He will be 14 on 12-16-14.  He is a handsome fella!!   The best part is, he still gives me a kiss an a hug!   He would 'die' if he saw this!

VERY SPECIAL THANKS!


PLEASE give a round of applause to JFF Stamps for making December a wonderful time for us all!    All of the Designers on both Teams have created such fantastic projects of many themes and mediums.

Here is a quick and simple card I made with my JFF Stamp and Kaisercraft paper with washi tape and a Japanese ink pen.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
