My grandfather has been the most influential masculine figure in my life, and even though he passed away 15 years ago, I still miss him every single day. I treasure the memories of a trip by ship with him when I was a teenager. We sailed from Spain to Puerto Rico in a big bull-carrier ship! I learned a lot about the sea, but most important, I learned important lessons about values and life.

So fun and vibrant! Watching your videos is sooo bad for my wallet, Julie! Thanks for all the inspiration :)
Hello, Monday 01.28.2013
You know me. I don't like to get my fingers inky. I'm kind of an oxymoron in the stamping world. Hah! But, I love color--bold, sassy, eye-poppin' color! And, that's what you get with Dylusions Sprays. I will admit, however, that I wore gloves. And a full body apron. And I protected my work...
Oh my, Julie, this is amazing! Ethereal! Somehow you made a card that reflects that delicious nanosecond between being awake and being asleep :)
Feather Light...
Lots of ideas come to me when I'm stuffing my face, oddly enough... no clue why... *snort* Anyhoo, that's when this one came to me. The mind is a very curious thing... Go figure! Musings: I'm fascinated by the feathers trend... not sure if it's cuz I like birds, and puttin' birds on things...

Merry Penguin! Hah!
Love loVE LOVE this li'l penguin guy by Savvy Stamps! He just makes me smile! He's got two options--a martini and a tiny gift, mounted on the side of the block, and he's so SO fun, I can't take it! The Scattered Dots are also a fave--I use it for all sorts of things from confetti to snow! Be...
Karen, what a lovely design! I love how striking the black looks combined with pink and fuchsia!

Like a Flower
I had time this morning to make a card for three challenges (and with a birthday greeting inside), another card for upcoming occasions. First, for the Retro Sketch Challenge which I love: Next, the ColorQ Challenge: And, lastly, the CASual Friday challenge: The three challenges se...
This is adorable, Julie! Love how you used the asterisks, great way to use those stickers that always end up forgotten in the sheet :)
I too have trouble creating with colors that don't speak to me. In my case it's muted tones. So pretty when others use them! But not when I do. Ugh ;)
Oh, boy! (baby card)
The Maid of Honor at my daughter's wedding just had a sweet baby boy last week! She adores monkies and the baby's nursery is decorated in a jungle theme! But, I didn't have any monkey stamps to make a card for welcoming baby Camden, so I had to go a different route. I thought about doing this ...
I love, love, love everything about this card, Julie! Oh, and my jaw dropped to the floor when I saw that cool stamp handle! Thanks for another great video :D
Knit Happens...
I know how to knit. None of that fancy stuff, like popcorn stitching and fair isle patterns and whatnot... But, just enough to make scarves. Very looooong scarves. Out of one color of yarn. This stamp by Karen Lockhart is just so cute! And, dork that I am, puns always crack me; I could not re...
This line is adorable! Thanks for the chance to win it :D

Faux Embossing by Julie Ebersole
(click on the pics to en-biggan) Faux embossing. Faux embossing?! How can it be faux???!!! *chuckle* This fun (and surprising!) technique has been around for a long time--I thought it would be fun to share it again. It's one of my favorites because people always have to run their finger over...
