Sanibel Sisters of the Sea

Some Sanibel Photos. I got plenty of painting inspiration while in sunny Florida. Now just to get some time to play with paints. Maybe in the new year . Had to share these great photos with you though. Sanibel is an annual trip for us sisters. It's a great time with family, we have a blast. My two brothers made it this year,too. Check back for Sanibel inspired paintings. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

purse ornaments

I had some orders to fill for the purse cards. My sister Nancy gave me a great idea, she said the purses you could use as an ornament on the tree. Thanks Nancy, great idea. so I've been busy designing card purses. The purple roses I painted and then outlined with the sparkles paint. The other three I designed using the DCWV paper. I cut out some of the elements in the paper to use as accents on the purses. The purses are trifolded and then I attach velcro to the inside as a closure on the purse front. I use coordinating fiber,ribbon or strung beads as handles the purse handles. I also painted some Christmas purses. Snowflakes are painted using the sparkles paint. The trees are painted and then I brushed on snow writers paint for the snowy effect on the front of the card.
