Everyday Dust


This is a picture I've been working on for about a week. I know, it doesn't look like it but the composition had me stumped. I wasn't sure if it was done but I felt like it was lacking something. When I mounted it on core board and put the brass corners on it finally felt finished.

Second in the 1900's series


I just finished this card. It is the second of 4 using the 1900's lady stamp.

Digital Art




I had a friend over last night to show me some stuff on Photo Shop. It was wo much fun. I am completely overwhelmed by all the things she showed me but I can't wait to do it again. I know I'm never going to remember everything. Anyway, this was my first digital picture. Hehe.

New Card


This is the first in a series of 4 cards that I'm doing. The object is to create 4 cards using the same stamp but having each one different. I have to get up in five hours so this is all I have to offer tonight.

Play Day

Well I don't have anything to put up today but I spent the whole evening playing. I had a friend over and we were experimenting with UTEE. We came up with some really cool stuff. I'll be posting some of it next week.

I have been so busy today, but I just couldn't end my day without at least finishing a project. This is a card that I'm going to send into Take Ten Magazine for a challenge. I hope they like it enough to publish it. That would be so cool.

Bruschetta Chicken

This recipe was a snap to make and really delish. I got it from the Taste of Home Cookbook.
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon melted butter
2 large tomatoes, seeded and chopped
3 tablespoons minced fresh basil
2 cloves of minced garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon peeper

1) Place four and eggs in separate shallow bowls. Dip chicken in flour, then in eggs. Placed in a greased baking dish. Combine the Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs and butter; sprinkle over chicken.

2) Loosely cover baking dish with foil and bake at 375o for 20 minutes. uncover;bake 5-10 minutes longer or until top is browned.

3) Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Spoon over the chicken. Return to the oven for 3-5 minutes or until tomato mixture is heated through.

When I made this dish I used a pre-made bruschetta from Wegman's and it was fantastic.
