It’s Earth Day week…so I’ll be playing with things that grow all week long here and on social media! Be sure to follow along for some crazy ideas.

Before we start….there’s a new class and digi stamps!
It’s spring….let’s do some coloring of flowers! I just launched a brand new Realistic Flowers Class — in colored pencil this time (last month was the Copic class with different flowers). If you only need the images and not the class, check out the Flower printables to color! (Should you accidentally buy the images then decide to take the class, just email and I’ll refund the digistamps fee.)

Beautiful wreaths Sandy, I love that you showed it in three different mediums.
Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial, stay safe and have a wonderful day.
These are so beautiful Sandy … I love wreaths of any kind!
Three beautiful wreaths, one more beautiful than the other!
Just right for the sunny spring.
Thanks for the great tutorial, I’ll try it this week…
It is amazing to watch your projects evolve. Your tulips look so realistic, but yet have an ease to their shape. Less “fussing”, more looseness, right? The layers of color makes a ton of sense– but actually thinking about this is my downfall. I learn so much from each of your videos. Thank you for your inspiration!
It’s been a cold, windy spring here so far, and the flowers are going to be blooming later than usual – a good reason to make a few tulips indoors. Tulip wreaths look like a fun way to get Spring started, inside my head, if not in my garden!
