Welp, here we are.  The very last blog hop for the 2013 Artisan Design Team.  I must say that this year has been spectacular!  It's been fun for me to get to know these 9 amazing women and learn from them and grow as a creator.  I look up to all the other Artisans and wonder how it was possible that I ever got to this point with them.  These ladies are truly spectacular and I will cherish our time on the ADT forever.  Thank you, Stampin' Up!, for affording this opportunity to me for 2 years.  I have truly been blessed beyond measure.

I love them all, my Artisan girls.

I'm so excited to see what the new Artisan Design team will create.  Onward and upward.

Love, love, LoVe you all!  Thank you for following my blog.  I hope you'll continue to follow me and make me feel special with all your comments.  You haven't seen the last of this fun blog hop.  The 2013-2014 Artisan Design team has decided to carry on a blog hop on the last friday of every month.  We're calling it Fancy Friday.  So be sure to check out our first hop on August 29th. 

Never fear; I'm not going anywhere.


I am addicted to watercoloring on my paper crafts.  I cannot stop!  How adorable are the large polka dots after you color on them with the aqua painter?  Seriously in love.  Try it.  You won't regret it.  Did you see my Stampin' Up! blog post about how I watercolor?  See it here:

When did this happen?  The 2nd to last Artisan Blog Hop for the 2013 team is already here.  Crazy. 

For my 2nd-to-last project I decided to create something simple but something that made me happy.  That means it has stitching, watercoloring, flower fluffing, and glimmer.

Simple and shiny.

I love it.

PS:  Those arrow heads (triangles) were done freehand.  I love how they turned out!

Weird.

If you couldn't tell, I am in LOVE with watercolor paper and watercoloring everything.  I just can't stop!
