Kathryn.

Yes, I know and love parsnips and was going to use those for my card. I compared many photos and the parsley roots look very similar.

Thanks, Pam. I thought you might have seen them at some of your farmers' markets. I'll ask about them when I go to our CSA farm.

Kathryn and Marianne, you both keep hitting it out of the park. Kathryn, I always thought if I bought another hot-air balloon I'd call her Lucy, and make sure she had a diamond pattern on the side.

Oh Wow, Keitha. That would be really cool!
Kathryn.

Four more cards.
1. Intersection. Another CS stencil.
2. Love. The theme song from the UK series "Butterflies".
3. Layers. Cut strips for Strata and a stamped Ammonite. These fossils appear on my local town, Whitby's town badge, and they can be found on some of the beaches nearby.
4. Charm bracelet. A tricky one, but every charm on the bracelet must be different. Do you recognise this stamp, Marianne? I think you sent me this print a long time ago.
Kathryn.

Yes, I do still have that leaf stamp, Kathryn.

You're still rockin' these challenges, Kathryn! Love that leaf stamp - great idea for the different charms.

Thankyou, Keitha, I'm wondering just how long I've had that piece of paper with the leaf print! It's surprising what you find when you tip out all those arty bits.
Kathryn.

I've had that stamp a long time but probably not as long as the copyright indicates: PSX (remember them?) 2001.

Wow, Marianne and Kathryn! You two are rocking these!

Marianne, I still have a bunch of PSX I unmounted, especially floral images.

Holy Moley you two! This challenge has been so entertaining because of the cards both of you are making and it's so fun to see the different interpretations. You are both creating outside the box.


PSX...Personal Stamp Exchange...one of my first stamp companies that I bought from. A now closed LSS carried a huge inventory of them. So many of those stamps were high density, detailed images. They were great.

Four more cards.
1. Sun or moon. Southwestern colours and hot chilli!
2. Swim. Playing with a Kaleidocolor ink pad and a waterbrush.
3. Adjective. French.
4. Mirror. A chance to try a "reflection" technique with fairy stamps. I need more practice!
Kathryn.

I agree Farley!
Both of you are amazingly talented. I would never come up with such creative interpretations.

PSX - weren't they from Petaluma? Or was that another company? I went to a home show in 1991 and bought a stamp. No idea what that stamp was now but gosh, I remember the lady's home and her deck over the river on Cobb Mountain. I wanted her house so much! I honestly could have just moved right in and been happy for the rest of my life.

Marianne and Kathryn it's been a joy to look through your cards, and kudos for keeping up with them!

PSX - that brings back memories. You're right Pam they were in Petaluma I think! Back in the days when you sent away mail order for catalogs and such! No internet which sometimes can be overwhelming! I still have a few of their stamps.

Here are my last two weeks-finally finished.

Week 7 July 13-19

43. Lyrics (With apologies to Crosby, Stills and Nash) Dogs are "borrowed" from my friend in Seattle, wish they could really visit.
44. Blue-colored pencils and Pan Pastels-my favorite French blue.
45. Night Sky-satellite view of all the lights on earth where we don't really see the night sky.
46. Love
47. Layers-reject photo with modeling paste through a stencil and acrylic paint over it.
48.Intersection-CA girls should recognize this place. It was the first in the world.
49. Charm bracelet-from my hoarded stash of metal junk.
Week 8 July 20-26
50. Sun or Moon-moon photo from a magazine that has been in my collage drawer for years.
51. Swim-diecuts, handmade paper, paint and white pen
52. Adjective-collage
53. Mirror-embossed silver metal sheet and some lumiere paint for mirror image.
54. Greetings from... altered photo
55. Sepia-illustration of cuttlefish
56. Ghost or zombie - ghost print from gelli plate over Citrasolv image from National Geographic magazine.

Kathryn and Marianne your cards continue to blow me away.


PSX: Yes I agree about Petaluma. I LOVED getting the PSX catalogs.
