Opening hearts & Reminders of life

The Sophia Project is not your ordinary blog. Cyndi has a wonderful way of expressing in words the process of life, even on days that don't go as expected, her article 'Today...' is no exception. Maybe it's my age or maybe it's the truth of the article and the quote at the end, but for me and where I am now in the process, tears are always a good thing!

Love-Valentines ATC Swap cards

Here are the cards I created for the February ATC swap. Since 'love' was one of the themes I thought a little 'self love' reminder couldn't go amiss and of course then I threw in a little twist on the old fashioned valentine.

JEWEL Bugs!

These are just a few of the wonderful 'jewel' like bugs made by 'ODD imagination'. Denise has the amazing skill of being able to create small, delicate, extremely detailed and whimsical objects of art. Whether she is crafting figures, jewelry, paintings or these stunning bugs, Denise's art ALWAYS fills me with joy and wonderment. 

Look at the variety!

I love the colors in this one!

Amazing detailing!

Too many !!!!!'s - I don't think so! 

(Ok, so maybe I'm a little biased, but darn I'm lucky to have her for a sister!)

Sydd in his sweater!

Need I say more? Ok, I will any way! Isn't he just adorable and doesn't he have the greatest great aunt to make him his cool outfit?! Yeah, I'm modest too...

Fortune Cookies and ATC's

This is an ATC I made a couple years back using a fortune cookie message. I like to work in complimentary colors and the combination here is striking I think.

'Blessings' card Received

This is the WONDERFUL 'Blessings' card I received from Deedee. This is the envelope front and back...

A great quote from RW Emerson is on the stunning sparklie card (with close ups of front and back)

Frida's arrive from UK!

Micki, in the UK, sent me these wonderful 'Frida' ACT's she made for our February swap. I just love the colors and quirkiness of these cards!

This one is 'Frida love Diego'

Here is 'Frida's Moustache'

 

And this one of Micki's paintings made into a card.
