Checking In... Working Out... Making Change
I had my six month appt. two weeks ago, and I've lost 108 lbs. so far. Hard to believe I get to say that. Pretty surreal! If you'd told me six months ago that I would be standing up to speak at a WLS seminar in the same room where I had attended one... I wouldn't have thought it possible. I p...
Wow! Typical Nichol awesomeness. LOVE all of them.

Hello, Monday 02.11.2013
(click on the pics to enbiggan) Paper Tole has been around for quite a while and I totally love the dimension it can give my card-making! It's often done with beautiful floral images and butterflies and can yield stunning results! It can be intricate, and time-consuming, depending on the type...
Both gorgeous! What is so stunning is how you can rock two totally different looks like this. LOVE them both. Love you! Thank you

Two more cards with the quatrefoil die
I promise -- last cards with this die. I cut several of these out of white with the intention of inking them up. I changed my mind and decided to do some totally white cards. Not my usual style but I think they came out looking very elegant. I also wanted to play with the Memory Box Poinsettia d...

I love Aspen Frost Paper from Basic Grey. LOVE it. And I liked the idea of getting a number of patterns from this wonderful paper pack on one card as I could. I borrowed the cover plate die from Jennifer and cut out a number of times -- some on white and some out of the Aspen Frost paper I w...

Flat Bottom Clouds You Make The Rockin' World Go 'Round!
TRUE STORY: This card was inspired by the song, "Fat Bottomed Girls" by Queen I love Queen. LOVE. Always have, always will. When I first saw these dies by MFT, they had me at "Hello". And I started singin' (badly, mind you; can't hold a tune to save m' life...)... And that's a true story, to...

This Penny Black stamp sure did that to me! I can see so many ways to use this stamp. I just had to color it the first time I used it. Simple coloring with a ribbon and greeting and DONE! This just had to go to my friend Jennifer.... Some day someone is going to take my BG Copic marke...

Fun Distress Ink Technique
A card on Joy Taylor's blog reminded me of a fun technique I haven't done in awhile. You apply distress ink to a stamp in random patches. Then spray it with Perfect Pearl water and stamp on white cardstock. What's fun about it beyond the fact that it is shimmery is that you have know idea wha...

Just like that...
For a moment when I woke up this morning, I forgot where I was. I imagined I was at home in bed and my head went straight to what day is it?...what schedule do I have to follow? Just for a moment. And then my eyes adjusted and took in the room. And then just like that I realized where I was. ...
Brilliant idea to create a story with the phrases! So wonderful. This layout is awesome
