Greetings!

    "Greetings!"   Seems like an appropriate beginning after being silent for so long.  But actually I am referring to my latest artistic endeavors. 
​
Even though we email and FacetTime often, I love reading an actual letter or card from my sister or granddaughters. I even put "Real letters in my USPS mailbox" on my Christmas list and it has been so fun to get “real mail”. 

At Christmas I received a subscription to Sketchbook Skool and specifically a “kourse” about creating Greeting Cards.  I started the exercises and had fun with Valentine’s and a couple of birthday cards.  

After the new year, I devoted most of January to getting ready for the Arizona Sage Art Market in early February.  Then Mike and I took a three-week cruise in February - March!  So it’s only recently that I have turned my attention back to designing cards. 

​

As 2018 is The Year of the Dog and that we have a new (to us) dog...Bert, I’ve been working on a series of cards featuring his wonderful black and white swirls and spots. ​







 

​The first batch has just arrived from the printer. You can find them in my Gallery/Shop.

As you can see those last two were created with new babies in mind. I was inspired by the fact that two of our neighbors have had babies this month!  

​After working on the dog images, I started experimenting with another baby card... in my next blog post, I'll show you more. 

If you're interested in a card for a particular occasion, let me know … I’d enjoy trying to figure a way to express that thought!

Here’s to spring!  ~ Candace
