Marigold Morning Memories
It’s a busy weekend with a niece’s wedding, so I thought I’d prepare this post of oldies but goodies — well, not so sure they’re all good, but they are all old– LOL!!! Andthey bring back memories for me. These were all made in the fall of 2006 with SU stamps. I was trying out different coloring techniques, none of which succeeded or stuck — LOL!!! These days I am loving my Copics and trying to make an honest effort with them, unlike my earlier attempts as you’ll see below! And I will say, I LOVED Marigold Morning then and I STILL love it today, just wish I had some of that paper. It’s too bad that when a really great color appears in the In Colors that it is just automatically retired at years end– such a bummer — oh well, here’s my oldies:
This is probably the all time favorite autumn card I have ever made. Don’t know why I like it so much, I just do!!!
This is the first ATC I ever made. It was for a swap that Jen del Muro was running. I was pleased with it. Actually, I’ve only made one since. It is more romantic/vintage and is in the Dirty Dozen Gallery at SCS.
I made this for my DH’s 50th birthday. It was my one and only attempt with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. We didn’t seem to get along so well and I never tried again — LOL!!!
Same image again. I do love these fruit stamps and will never part with them. This was a pretty dismal attempt at water coloring — another technique I avoid as much as possible– LOL!!!!
This was a birthday card for our pastor who is an avid pheasant hunter. This is one of my very rare attempts to chalk an image — and it’s no wonder why I don’t try this more often — LOL!!! But actually, I really DID like the look of this card IRL, it just didn’t photo well (sure, you’re thinking — LOL)!!!
I made this card for our neighbor boy when he got the news that a leg tumor was NOT cancerous — yes, REJOICE!!! This was an SCS challenge to try out stipple brushes. Another thing I’ve probably never done again!!!
Gee, what a walk down memory lane. And now I’ve got myself wondering — with all these thingsI’m notparticularily crazy about doing, I wonder what it is that IDOdohere every day — LOL!!! I’ll have to think about that one!!! And I also find it interesting to note that though these cards are only 2 years old, I did not use ONE piece of DP on any of them — hmmmm — how times have changed!!!
Hope you are all enjoying your weekend. I should be back and have a post of a new project by Monday!!! Thanks for walking down memory lane with me — what a hoot!!!
