Photo Heavy -- Again with the Crafting

It is cold.  I have been playing.  I am finding that you get really good exercise if you put in a load of laundry and run (not really run) upstairs for 30 minutes to craft and then back down to put the clothes in the dryer and back up -- and repeat -- all day.

Here are the fruits of my efforts.  None are really finished yet. 

An Easter card using a digistamp

Another digistamp and unusual color combo

trying my hand at a water color background.  It looks like a bruise

another watercolor background

I think the sun should have been lower

Easter Card but I need something at the top. Probably the sentiment.  


Time to take the laundry out of the dryer

Yes, I find I also get lots of exercise running up and down stairs on laundry days.
I think the cards you created are great but I must admit I have no idea what a digistamp is.

Thanks, Granny Marigold! A digistamp is an image that looks like a rubber stamped image. You can download it and print it and use it just as if your used a rubber stamp. It is really a good way to use different stamps and they don't take up room in your craft room -- just on your computer!

You are certainly experimenting a lot with style! Like the flowery ones especially.

Hi, Mary! Yeah, I keep seeing stuff online and want to try it but some of the techniques I am just not good at. Watercolor for one. But I am having fun and can see how it is very relaxing as I can lose myself in this. I had another one but I guess I didn't take a photo of it. Next trip upstairs.......

Yes, I have tried this mysterious exercise method .... I did it 2 days ago. But I tend to forget the clothes in the washer. I finally put them into the dryer a few minutes ago, haha! OLD Brain :) Your cards are very cute - the one with the tree and the sun is very pretty.

M.K. -- thanks! I will never make cards as lovely as the ones I see on the internet but it is a lot of fun and stress relieving! And all that exercise -- speaking of which, I still have laundry in the washer! Opps!

Update

 Yes, it has been a month — and what a month it has been.  Long story short all the grafts from my husbands bypass surgery have disappeared ...
