Hey, friends! I'm alive!

I've had a few friends wondering where in the world I am!  Nothing to worry about - just tucked in as is my usual Winter routine!   But the slump is real!

Leave it to Jill Foster to get me out of my slump... she released her first in a new Sketch series yesterday at the Penny Black YouTube channel.  Nothing like watching Jill watercolor those adorable PB kids to kick-start my creative juices!

Enter PB Growing Love:


If I were writing a sentiment for this one, it would read:
'thanks for being the teeter to my totter!' =]


Here are the products used for my layered Sketch #1:
Growing Love - stamped in Versafine Smokey Gray on Canson watercolor paper
PFS Stitched Scallop Rectangles
Penny Black Triangle Pattern EF
PTI Just Sentiments: You're on my Mind.

And because there was a little piece of that embossing left over, 
seconds were in order:


I just switched out the frame this time to use PB Classy Frames


Thank you, friends, for holding me in your thoughts while I take my little January break!  btw I miss YOU, too!

I knew you'd be back with a Penny Black card (or two!) That sketch is so "you" and you didn't disappoint! Love your coloring and you framed your cuties perfectly! Jill would be so proud!

Oh so cute! I couldn't tell you which one I prefer, they're both adorable! I am with you on the slump.....it's been a tough 2025 so far.

There you are, I've missed you! I must say that I'm quite smitten with this darling image and your extra sweet pair of cards. Awesome watercoloring on them too!

I was thinking about sending out the cavalry out for you, but leave it to Jill to foster your creativity and get you going. She does the same for me. I adore this sweet pair on their teeter totter. Your watercoloring is divine and the sentiment on each card is perfect. Welcome back, Michele!
