Dylanbug Designs: Wistful for Letterpress
http://dylanbugdesigns.blogspot.com/2012/03/wistful-for-letterpress.html
View my complete profile. Friday, March 2, 2012. I have always been drawn to letterpress cards. Probably because the colors are so clean and vivid. Doing simple cards without texture and embellishments is pretty far out of my usual comfort zone, but I was really inspired to try something different. There have been several sets of rub-ons in my drawer for months just waiting for me to figure out how to use them. Here's what I finally did. I now love this set so much that I don't want to give them away!

Dylanbug Designs: June 2010
http://dylanbugdesigns.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
View my complete profile. Friday, June 25, 2010. On the other hand, there are new babies in our family, and friends who will have new additions later this year. Which means I can cuddle and coddle without losing sleep, changing diapers, and worrying about every new irregularity in their lives. If you have growing ones of your own, enjoy them to the fullest. If you don't, borrow one! Let a baby fall asleep on your lap and all the stress of the world just melts away. It's better than Valium, I tell you!

Dylanbug Designs: August 2010
http://dylanbugdesigns.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
View my complete profile. Tuesday, August 31, 2010. It's been awhile since I've posted. That's largely due to my "real" job getting very busy. New clients and new projects - yay! But, I have been working on some art projects too, just a little more slowly than usual. One of the things I've been doing is making a gift for a keynote speaker that will be appearing at a conference I'm involved with. The idea is to give him a handmade box filled with Bittersweet. Tuesday, August 10, 2010. I've been working on...

Dylanbug Designs: April 2011
http://dylanbugdesigns.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
View my complete profile. Thursday, April 21, 2011. A Touch of Spring. If April showers bring May flowers, then there better be some truly spectacular blooms next month. Normally I kind of like the rain. But lately even I am getting sick of this drippy nonsense going on in Portland. The ground is perpetually squishy, the gutters are a slimy mess, and my poor car is getting a little green scum in the nooks and crannies where the carwash can't reach. Ugh! Tuesday, April 19, 2011. There are days when I am h...

Dylanbug Designs: July 2010
http://dylanbugdesigns.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
View my complete profile. Saturday, July 31, 2010. Have I said before how difficult I find it to make things for guys? We'll I decided to make a true effort. I picked up some papers with compass designs ages ago, and just hadn't found the right elements to really grab me. Then I found some hot air balloon images, and it all clicked. What really did it was finding canvas that you can print on with an inkjet printer. Office Depot, who knew? Friday, July 30, 2010. Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #69. The Tim ...

Dylanbug Designs: January 2012
http://dylanbugdesigns.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
View my complete profile. Saturday, January 21, 2012. Now that Christmas is past, I can share something I made and gave to my mom. This started out as a plain tan-colored paper mache' box. Getting it to its finished state required a lot of patience on my part. Not usually my strong point. But there are several layers that each required full drying before the next step could happen. Some of the ingredients that went into the box were:. Rubber stamping with solvent inks. Vintage black velvet ribbon. This i...

Dylanbug Designs: New Toys for Pam
http://dylanbugdesigns.blogspot.com/2012/03/new-toys-for-pam.html
View my complete profile. Monday, March 19, 2012. New Toys for Pam. It doesn't take much to amuse me. Cool file folders. Funky colored paper clips. Glitter, pens, a really fantastic piece of handmade wrapping paper. What do you think of this little beauty? It's one of the new dies that I got from Cheery Lynn Designs. I've heard mixed things about their products, but I decided to try a couple and see what they were like. Now I can't stop making butterflies! See what I mean about "easily amused"?
