http://madeforkeeps.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 3, 2012. Image From a Photo. A friend of mine who is a fan of my cards (bless his heart! Asked me to make a birthday card for his grandson. He had a couple of photos of little Isaac sleeping in his car seat with his favorite toy Boz. He asked if I could make an image from one and hand color it. I hadn't made images from photos before, but was eager to try it. This card is the end result:. Here is the actual photo. Isn't he a cutie? Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you all have a happy a...

Saturday, May 10, 2014. Graduation Day for a Cool Guy! Celebrating Graduation with his Mustang. A friend of mine asked for two graduation cards for high school grads. This is the first of the two. The young man loves his red Mustang so the card just had to pay tribute to the 'Stang, too! Close up of car after coloring from sketch. Sketch made with PhotoShop from a photo. This happy grad image is from Kenny K and was a perfect reflection of this happy occasion in a young person's life! Inside I used anoth...

Saturday, January 12, 2013. On the Loss of My Mother. My wonderful mother/best friend passed away suddenly on January 9. It is still so hard to grasp the reality of it and the ups and downs of the emotions makes it feel as though time has stood still. We have had so much love and support from friends and neighbors. The generosity is beyond belief! Rest In Peace, Mom. I love you and miss you. Im so sorry for your loss,Barb. January 12, 2013 at 10:09 AM. January 12, 2013 at 11:52 AM. Oh Barb, Im so sorry f...

Made For Keeps: August 2012
http://madeforkeeps.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 26, 2012. A few weeks ago I couldn't wait to write this post to make an announcement I've been waiting a long time to do. But I was asked to wait awhile longer. Today, though, I write with sadness for the loss of unknown promises, butterfly kisses that now ride the breeze, and a fleeting miracle that still brings joy and hope. On July 20 I found out I was going to be a grandma for the first time! My son and daughter-in-law, now married over a year (already! What a charming image! Since the...

Made For Keeps: August 2014

Saturday, August 16, 2014. Scene with Make It Crafty Images. Back in April I was asked to make a birthday card for a teenager who loves horses. This young lady has long blonde hair so that made me think immediately of my favorite images from Make It Crafty. I love coloring the flowing hair like Sweet Stephanie's. I also found the Exquisite Unicorn. Worked well as Stephanie's horse. To complete the scene the Crooked Picket Fence. Cardstock and designer paper scraps. Silk Flowers, pearl brads, Prima roses.

Made For Keeps: February 2013
http://madeforkeeps.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 16, 2013. Amidst the Sorrow Comes a Time to Get Busy Again. The year 2012 is past, and hopefully the challenges that came with it. My neck injury from the April car accident is better and the case is now in the hands of the attorney. The pain persists at times and I guess will for awhile yet. I had gotten back to my favorite thing, Copic coloring and cardmaking but then came the worst day of my life. When Mom passed away on January 9 our world stopped. It's been five weeks already.

Made For Keeps: DP2 Challenge #190 --- Bright Colors
http://madeforkeeps.blogspot.com/2013/06/dp2-challenge-190-bright-colors.html
Tuesday, June 25, 2013. DP2 Challenge #190 - - Bright Colors. It's been quite awhile since I posted a card for the DP2 Challenge. So I'm happy to be back with this cheerful image of Mummu's Roses. I had made this a couple of weeks ago with no specific purpose in mind, except just to get my mojo back. It would make a nice birthday or Mother's Day card. Mummu is colored with Copics and surrounded by swirls of rhinestones. Looks like me - LOL. June 26, 2013 at 7:24 AM. July 25, 2013 at 1:53 PM. Thank you fo...
