Here’s the other half of the cards made for this year’s Advent calendar. Enjoy!
Merry Christmas Hanging Snowflake
I traveled a lot this year and from before Halloween though until the second week of December, I was out and about in Europe and Asia. This was a good news, bad news sort of thing. Good news for me, I saw and experienced a lot of cool things. Bad news, this obviously cut into…
Christmas Cards in closer detail
I’m not a big card maker. In fact, I haven’t made many because I wasn’t always happy with the completed result. Either the cards were super simple or they just didn’t look good enough to hand off to people. This year, I told myself that I would just make as many cards as I could,…
Advent Calendar 2019 (part 1)
For the past few years, Mercy has been using the end of year advent calendar as a way to clear out leftover paper, brads, trim, etc to make way for next year’s purchases. This year she turned the art into holiday cards that can in turn be gifted. Here are the first half of the…
Holiday Elf Hat
I really love mixed media and assemblages. It’s such a great way to use up bits and found objects, to create something that is really unique.

Skull Card
Halloween is coming up and it’s time for a quick share of a card I made using all Tim Holtz products: Skull die Halloween Embossing Folder Distress inks
Harvest Time
Dollar Tree has some fantastic buys in crafting and home decor that really allow makers to make really cool decorations for under ten dollars. This is the case with my Harvest Time table center piece. I picked up from Dollar Tree a styrofoam pumpkin, a bunch of fake autumn leaves, some sparky fern, a gold…
Dollar Tree Witch Sister Trick or Treat
Dollar Tree has some great, inexpensive items perfect for craft projects. In the framing area, they have several hanging frames with artwork in them like a 3-D wall hanging. These are great to remove the art inside and decorate however way you want. In my case, I did a Halloween hanging box, using mostly Dollar…
Two Sisters on the run
I was able to be a part of an outdoor art installation in Santa Clarita. I was told to do a banner of some sort that would hang from the trees and to reinterpret a piece of art however I wanted to do it. The first photo is my inspiration. The rest of the photos…
