Hope you are having a good week. Here is the card I sent to my Dad for Father’s Day.

I don’t know who made the bear stamp. I couldn’t read the name on the wood block. I colored the image with Copic markers. The graph background is by Hero Arts. On the inside is the bear’s hat (someone forgot to take a picture, though).

Thanks for visiting! Your comments make me smile!

Hi everyone. I’m Dustypenny’s (Joy’s) husband, and she asked that I post this video of our cat Penny playing with the iPad. This is a game from Friskies’ website. It took Penny a while to figure out how to play, but she became a real pro after she got the hang of it.
Click on the picture below and a new window/page will open with the video.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Oh, and I think I’m supposed to ask for comments and give you guys HUGS!
- Stephen (Mr. Dustypenny)

Hello. How are you?

Here is my entry for the first round of the current Hero Arts Challenge.

First I white embossed the Classic Bloom stamp six times. Then I water-colored the flowers with Distress Inks and Perfect Pearls Mist. Finally I cut them out and adhered them to the canvas (8” x 10”) with Glossy Accents.

I haven’t been blogging lately. Did you even notice I was gone? 

I have been really busy at work and at home. We saw Glee (live), we had our heating and air conditioning replaced (expensive!), a plumber was here to fix the guest room shower (the same day Stephen’s parent’s arrived from North Carolina for a visit!) and more.

I’ve taken at least eight (!) classes in the last month or so, seven of them featuring Hero Arts stamps:

• Two card classes with the talented Shari Carroll in Dyer, Indiana.
• Four classes with the dynamic duo of Jennifer McGuire and Shari Carroll in Dayton, Ohio.
• One Archiver’s class, Bold Backgrounds.
• One painting class, Poppies.

Hope I haven’t shared too much. I usually don’t have this much to say! I will post more pictures soon.

Thanks for visiting! Your comments make me smile!

Hugs,
Joy
