The "Owl Always Love U" card was made some time ago, but I decided to begin this blog with that card, it is one of my all time favorites, and I'm super proud of it. I referred to a commercial for a cartoonish owl movie when making the eyes! I guess I'm most proud of the cards that are made in this way: kind of sculpted out of plain 'ol cardstock. I start out with a drawing (pencil on heavy cardstock, or posterboard), and then cut out the pieces and trace them onto colored cardstock and glue them together for a complete pic. Recently, I've added to my tools a circle cutter by ek and a scallop cutter by Recollections. They were relatively inexpensive, purchased from the Michael's in Santa Monica. Every time I find some extra time and don't feel too guilty about spending, I go there and add to my play stuff. It's tough to keep spending when I'm not selling as many cards, but hey, hobbies are important too, no? Especially when they are about the only thing keeping you afloat. So, I plan on posting one card per week, and may drop in, in between to rant or showcase something interesting.
