CU Patterns: Floral

Little post today--have to run to the Yachats Youth fundraiser dinner... but here are my newest commercial use patterns (on sale 20% for a limited time):

I also scrapped another couple of pages:

(With my Happy Pack and the CU Scribblies 4)

And this one:

(With Middle School Muddle -- this was one of Allen's art projects at school, to make fruit/veggie art. Of course he chose something computer-related... *laugh*)

And tomorrow is Allen's 13th birthday -- the beginning of the teens! I admit to a bit of nervousness... =)

Eek, I'm so excited!

I had a total scrapbooking attack the other day, and managed to complete three pages--one of which even got a Gallery Stand-Out! I'm really pleased, because I fiddled around with that page for the longest time, layering papers, masks, and blending modes like crazy. W00t!

Seasonal Post Number One for 2016

Well, in a quick and dirty update, we travelled across the country, and back, and it was glorious. But it took a whole month and then some (27 days), and consequently I only now feel like I'm somewhat catching up...

Arizona, near the Mexican border

Much of the country we drove through looked like that--huge skies bounded by low but highly photogenic mountains, with flatlands of drought in between (I was struck by how the plants positioned themselves for maximum water intake). Hugely gorgeous and mysterious to this wetlands Swiss/Western Coast girl...

Southern California, right over the Coast Range, with ocean--more familiar landscape!

Well, suffice it to say that lots has been going on--including in my business life. I started with PickleBerryPop, which is where all my commercial use products can be found as well. These are my newest products--and I have a totally new Collection coming out tomorrow, as well!

Oops, I skipped one in the PU shop, so here it is: Painted Masks 7.
