WOYWW - 343 - Second wind!

WOYWW?

As I started to put the Christmas stuff away, I suddenly felt like making Christmas cards!

The bigger excitement at Casa RainbowWeaves is my post yesterday on the 

Elizabeth Crafts Design Blog.

Do stop by if you can and give it some love!

I got this MISTI stamp positioner tool for Christmas, and some of those die brush markers everyone is going on about. 

No comment yet.

It was 72 and sunny today.

Lest said the best!

Now I'm off to see what your post holiday desks have to share!

Comments and Questions warmly welcomed!

WOYWW 340 - It's beginning to look a lot like....

WOYWW?

Note to self- keep good ideas to yourself!

I suggested, (what was I thinking) in addition to giving fruit baskets to our less fortunate neighbors around our Church, that we send cards to all our neighbors.

Guess who they asked to get the cards?

(and tags for the gift baskets)

Make new friends and keep the old- some of my fav older and newest of Quietfire Design Christmas.

Anytime really.

For heavens sake, or any and all of our sakes

Quietfire Design Autumn splendor- 15 minute wonders!

While it only took 15 minutes to make the card, it took over an hour to photograph and create this post!

I fell in love with all the latest cut files by Suzanne Cannon in the

Silhouette Store.

Autumn  Window Card

On the mat

Core'dinations Kraft core is a challenging paper to cut and photograph.

Double cut at 5 worked well.

Ungrouped

Flip the "Autumn" to get the green side to be the right side when you adhere it to the card.

Cut, glue on the "Autumn" and you're done!

Having so much fun, I reduced the center motif to A2 size, cut some layers and backed it with Elizabeth Craft Designs Shimmer Sheetz.

Once you have the files there is no end to what you can do.

You can spend 15 minutes, or all day!!

If you love this card as much as I do, check out the 

Autumn Card in a Box

There is a step out video here.

Please share your creations here, or on the Quietfire Design FB page.

Cheap Joe's Art Stuff Comes to Asheville!!!!

Strangers were high-fiveing each other in the parking lot!

and squealing uncontrollably with glee when we walked in the door!

Yes, right here in my hood, I can walk into a store and buy a pastel, see and feel the color, try out a quality pen, chat with friendly sales associates- who are artists!!!

Yes, I bowed.

Paper! 

See the colors, touch the texture!

There are still empty shelves, and they had to open the door while they are still stocking and pricing as so many of us were standing with our nosed pressed to the door!

Come in and tell CJ's what we want to see  available here in Asheville.

There are forms right when you walk in the door.

They want to know.

And please! Buy stuff.

If you are just getting into watercolor, I highly recommend CJ''s brand, American Journey,

-You can't go wrong with Joe's Red-

and Golden Fleece Brushes,

great price, they last a long time, and if you mess them up,

YOU CAN GO GET ANOTHER ONE!

10-7 Monday through Saturday at Broadway and Riverside!

If you get to the Bywater you missed it!

I'll meet you there and we can go have a drink!

This is a regionally owned business, with reasonable prices, who want to serve the arts community.

Let's support them!

Thank you Joe's.

Now can we do something about an Apple Store?

Visit my FB page, follow the link and leave a comment to Apple that we need an Apple store.

It takes 1000 comments for them to get interested.

Yes I know it is not local, and while I am content with the service I get in Asheville, they can't compare to the Genius Desk. We need one.

Excuse me, I must go color with my new pens!!!!
