Cathy Edgar has long been devoted to "all things Gina K" and has been creating beautiful projects with my sets for many months now, I knew she would do beautiful things with a "A Charmed Life" this month! Here is a collage she created using the wine glass, different toasts and the rose from "A Year of Flowers". I just love all the bits and pieces she added, the sheet music is such a nice touch. Wouldn't this be a lovely way to decorate a cozy corner in a formal living area or piano room? She is currently giving away this beautiful framed piece of art, just visit her blog and leave a comment for a chance to win!
Here's more about Cathy:
Cathy’s favorite:
Technique: My favorite technique is the copic gradiant color blending technique
Colors/color combo: I tend to like muted earthy colors in browns, greens and mauve
Type of project to make that’s not a card? I really enjoy creating Name/Theme frames and altered journals
Gina K set by Melanie: This is a no brainer, A Year of Flowers will probably always be my favorite set from any designer, but there are many close seconds like Just so Sporty and Jumping for Joy
Gina K sets (from any illustrator): Take Flight just took over first spot from Botanical Dreams, sorry Asela J
Craft supplies I can’t live without: My copic markers and copic airbrush system
I've been stamping for (how long) about 2 ½ years
I got started stamping… I attended a SU party at my daughter’s, made a card, and the rest is history!?! I think that the ink I got on my fingers permeated my brain.
I get my inspiration from: I get my inspiration from everywhere, but mostly I pick up bits and pieces from all the different blogs that I visit of the stampers that I truly admire. I then figure out how it works for me.
The most important things I’ve learned about stamping/cardmaking/scrapbooking are : There are thousands of very talented creative people who are willing to share what they do for the love of sharing. I have also learned that I NEED to color or create something daily (when mama’s happy everybody’s happy!)
Some of my stamping/crafting goals are : I set 3 goals for myself this year.
1. Was achieved when Melanie picked me as her guest designer this month, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
2. To be published: this would require submitting—still working up to that one
3. One more Guest Design invite that has been my dream for over a year. If you know me, you know which one it is--
Some of my stamping/crafting accomplishments are: DT member for Dog Gone Stamps, Guest Design Team Member for Artistic Outpost, and I think my biggest accomplishment is Guest Designer for Melanie because it was not one I applied for, she asked me!
When I’m not stamping, I’m probably: working or with my kids(four grown kids) and grandkids(11.5) and husband of 38 years.
