I'm Trying Out Card Gnome

Browse thousands of greeting cards on Card Gnome!

Since Greeting Card Universe closed my store down saying I was not marketable I decided to try out Card Gnome. I'm slowly going to be adding cards to my storefront there as well as working on my Zazzle store. I never seem to get as much done as I want to in my hour on the Internet at the library. Hopefully I can get a new computer and the Internet back at home someday soon. Well, I guess that's all for now. I hope you have a great day.

I'm hoping 2012 is 100% better than 2011 was. My computer has just crashed so I have to have it looked at and can't make any new digital art at the moment. Hoefully it is nothing major. I'm wanting to get the Internet at home again in 2012 and maybe someday get a new camera as well. I want to take a lot of photos and make lots of art in 2012. I might even put some of my art in a store one of my friends is starting with some of her friends. We'll see about that as well. Anyways....

Have a Very Happy New Year!

I don't have the Internet at home right now so I am using the library computer a few times a week to add new items to my Zazzle stores.

Here are a couple of the newest items. I'll try to post on a more regular basis from now on.

Most of the snow is melting away during this warm-up we are having at the moment. Yesterday is was lovely and sunny. I was outside most of the day. Today it is really foggy and damp but still warm. Tomorrow they say it might make it to 60 degrees. Woot! Have a wonderful day.

Where's spring? I'm ready for it. It is now 1 degree above zero here. On Sunday it is forecast to be 38 degrees which I'm sure will feel very nice after this weeks sub-zero below normal temps. I was without Internet part of Tues. and almost all day yesterday. I'm not sure if the weather had anything to do with that or not. So there's not much new in my Zazzle store this week.

Think Spring! as a search on Zazzle has some lovely items that will warm you up just by looking at them. Here are a some spring posters that caught my eye.

Wow! We had the worst snow storm in history here last week. That meant that all the schools and a lot of businesses were closed. The Internet was running really slowly last week with all the people stuck at home and online. Also Zazzle was going through maintenance so I was not able to get as much done there the past week as I would have liked. But I did keep busy creating new artworks that I have been slowly uploading to the store. Here are some of the newest posters in the store.

I let the goats out to play in the snow for awhile yesterday. They were going stir crazy in the barn. The only place that was snow free was the long driveway because it was cleared with a tractor so the goats and cats were having races with each other back and forth. It was so fun and cute to watch. The poultry are beginning to think spring around here. I am getting a few more eggs each day. I got the first goose egg of the year yesterday. I saw some of the pullets peeking into and looking around the nesting boxes. Some of them ever went inside and moved some of the hay around in them. I think we will be getting some more eggs here soon. Well, stay warm and think spring. Have a great week :)

I seem to be in a business card creating mode at the moment so there are more new business cards in my Zazzle store. With the winter storm heading in I'm sure I'll be creating even more as long as the power does not go out. I have some errands to run today before the storm arrives and then I plan to sit down and play and create new art. Maybe after we get the snow I will go take some photos of it. They say this storm will be the worst one for use yet this winter. Depending on which station you listen to the weather on we are getting 8 inches to 20 inches of snow over the next 48-72 hours. The critters know the weather is about to change. Well... I guess I better get going. Here are a couple of other new designs in the store.

I'll be working on some new designs and adding even more to the store in the future. I haven't been keeping my blog very current here lately. I was going to try to post daily this year but it looks like that won't be happening. Instead I will try to post something at least once a week on the blog. I've been busy working on new art, doing things around the farm, and reading some books. I bought a box full of books at auction awhile back and am trying to get them read so I can resale them this spring as soon as the swap meets start back up. I am so looking forward to spring. Can't wait for garden weather, swap meets, broody hens, baby chicks, ect. that spring will bring. Take care and have a wonderful weekend.

"Vintage Red Bird" is a combination of my photography and vintage images.

I've also sent several more of my photography, digital art, and vintage files over to 3drose.com the past week and they will soon be up for sale there and also at Amazon.com as well.

The hatchery catalogs have been arriving in the mail along with the seed catalogs. So I am now dreaming of spring flowers and chicks. I think I want to add some different breeds to the flock this spring and am also hoping for a few broodies in the flock that will hatch out some new chicks. Last year I didn't have any broody hens but the year before I had a few.

Some New Artwork

2011-01-17T09:29:00.003-06:00

I played around this weekend with some textures from jinterwas on Flickr in the Handmade textures set. If you use any of her textures please give give her credit for them. Thanks.

I'll probably play around today and see what else I can create. It is fun to just play and see what happens. What better to do on a nasty icy winter day. It is forecast to snow later todat but right now we have freezing rain. It is stuck to the windows so you can't really see out them any more. I'm crossing my fingers the ice layer doesn't get too thick and cause us to loose power. The schools were delayed two hours today when I first woke up but now I am seeing more of them being cancelled for the day instead as they scroll across the bottom of the tv screen.

It seems like this month has been flying by. How are you doing on your new year resolutions? I'm still following mine to have fun and create art. :) Have a great week.

New Necklaces

2011-01-06T15:50:00.003-06:00

I seem to be on a bird theme right now. I love birds. I've added several new necklaces to my Zazzle store in the past few days and they all seem to have birds on them since apparently I am on a bird theme right now. I didn't plan to be on a bird theme it just happened. Okay, so on to the necklaces.

A Vintage hummingbird I digitally altered to remove the Christmas greeting so it could be used for any day and then also added one of my own textures to.

It's fun to design on a smaller scale to create these necklaces. It's also not as messy to get creative and design as the handmade OOAK necklaces I was making during the summer to sale at the farmers markets. Some days I would have beads, vintage findings, wire, ect. scattered all over the place as I was designing and making those necklaces.

It's such fun creating for the Zazzle store and avoiding the other store that I used to design for but am no longer going to be designing for. I thought about deleting that store all together but I am going to leave it up since I spent so much time the past few years getting all the designs in the store. I just won't add anything new to it this year and instead all my new artworks will go into my Zazzle store and some will also be sold locally at the store here in town and also at the Farmer's Markets when they start back up again in late spring. Now I feel like creating some more new art so I will see you sometime later. Have a great day! :)

Hello. I hope you had a Happy New Year. I have plans to be creative in 2011. I am giving up creating cards for a certain company which I will not name where the reviewers are difficult to deal with and I going to create more for my Zazzle store. I love to create for Zazzle and don't have to deal with reviewers there except for certain products like shoes and stamps and then the reviews are simple as long as you follow the rules with no questioning and rude remarks from reviewers.

So one of my resolutions this year is to create more and have fun creating art for my Zazzle store.

Here are a couple of the new items just in.

Now if only the hens would start laying eggs again. They seem to have gone on a winter strike except for a few pullets who have just started to lay. The crazy weather changes have them messed up as well. On Friday it was in the fifties and then by the end of the day had dropped back to below freezing. Friday morning and afternoon all the duck hens were out and about searching for places to start laying eggs to start nesting and now they are wondering why spring ran away and winter came back. Well, I better go get some work done now. I hope that you have a wonderful year this year.

Warm Thoughts

With the cold weather today I thought it would be nice to go back and look at some photos that remind me of warmer days.

Took this one of somebody's foot at the Farmer's Market this summer. I like the pretty sandal.

Today your toes would freeze in no time. Depending on which weather person you listen to the high today will be 8 degrees or 13 degrees.

Water is frozen today. But this abstract photo I took of the fountain in the park where one of the Farmers Markets is held reminds me of warm summer days.

But even though the water is frozen the silly goose decided it was bath time when I went down to the barn to give them a bit of fresh water to drink and tried to take a bath in the water bowl. It's funny how waterfowl don't seem to notice just how cold it is out there and will take a bath no matter what.

This is more of what it actually looks like out there. These are some photo I took awhile back.

I want to take some more winter barn photos sometime this winter. It's cold today but boy was it awful yesterday. We only have a bit of snow but we had 50 mph winds yesterday blowing the snow all over the place. I'm glad it is not as bad as it is up in northern Iowa though. One of my chicken friends I met on backyardchickens.com said on the message board today that is is -12 up there and that they have a lot more snow up there. Well, I better get some work done so I will see you sometime later. Hope you are staying warm.

It's going to be so cold the next couple of days though so I won't be out driving on back country roads looking for barns to photograph for at least a little while. For now I'll stay warm and look through my archives at barns I have already photographed but haven't used in any art yet. Stay warm! Have a great day!

The quality of the cards at Zazzle are amazing. I recently ordered cards from another place because they were cheaper but you get what you pay for. The cheaper cards had a chemical smell to them and the glossy coating they put on them was cracking and peeling. I've never had a quality issue with the printing at Zazzle.

It is a windy and cold winter day around here. The critters are warm and snuggled up in the barn. The door is open enough that the poultry can go outside if they want to but they don't want to be out today. My chicken hens have really slowed down on their egg laying for the winter but some of my young Muscovy duck hens look like they will start laying any day. I usually get a lot of nice duck eggs over the winter months when I get less chicken eggs. Well, I better get busy working on some new artwork. See ya later!

150+ New Cards

2010-11-03T13:53:00.002-05:00

Yippee!! After waiting for what seemed like ages (It was really only 3 weeks) to get my cards approved and live for sale at my card store I now have 150+ new cards in the store.

Here are just a few of them. You'll have to visit the store to see them all. I still have about 40 more waiting on approval but I've only made those in the past couple of days so it will be awhile still until those get to go live and for sale at the store. I now have a little over 2,000 cards in the store. It will take me a long time to get to 10,000 like some of the artists have. I am planning to design several more though this winter as I spend more time indoors.

Ok, here goes. Some of the new cards are:

and last but not least

Be sure to check out the store to see all the other new cards that have just been added to the store. I have some new ones for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Birthdays, and any day.

Some Photos From Halloween

2010-11-02T10:01:00.003-05:00

Here are a few of the photos I took on Halloween. I haven't done anything to these yet. They are straight from the camera. I'll play with some of them someday soon adding textures and then post some of them for sale in my Zazzle store.

I also added a few new items to my Zazzle store yesterday. Here are a couple of them.

Seems there are some left over goblins in the store. I made more new items than that yesterday but they are not showing up in the store for me. I'll wait a bit to see if they show back up and then if they don't I'll redo them and add them back to the store. I still have several images to upload as well. My connection kept timing out yesterday so I didn't get as much done yesterday in the store as I would have liked. I have a few more abstracts and then more of my photography to add to the store. I'll see ya later! I'm off to work on editing some photos.

I thank you all so much who have made a purchase from my store. Thank you! Thank you!

I'm going to work on adding some new products to the store soon. I took some photos of some abandoned places yesterday and have some more digital artworks to add as well. I even have some ATC sized mixed media artworks to scan as well. I've been busy creating. Soon there will be new items in the store.

I hope you have an amazing week! I'll try to blog some more later this week.

Several New Cards

2010-10-26T09:03:00.003-05:00

Several new cards have just been approved to go live for sale at my card store. There are more waiting in line so there should be even more new cards added later this week and on into next week as well.

Here are some of the newest ones in the store.

Frog Humor

Inside it reads: I was going to kiss the frog but I wasn't sure he would turn out to be the right prince for me.

I'd rather be single than end up with the wrong prince.

A blank inside frog so you can say anything you would like.

A pumpkin I decorated with gold glitter. Happy Thanksgiving card.

Pretty Daisies, Hello

Grunge Daisies

There are other new cards as well. I have one of the last Farmers Markets of the season tonight. It is the last one for this town that I go to on Tues. nights. I'm taking my camera with me in case there is something interesting or beautiful to photograph. It sure is windy out there today.

2010-10-25T10:18:00.002-05:00

I've added a few more new things to both my stores. The card above is in my private gallery at Greeting Card Universe for now but I also added it to the long line of cards waiting for approvals so within the next two weeks it should also be in my public gallery as long as they accept it for sale. I'll be uploading it to my Zazzle store sometime soon as well. Maybe even today since it is forecast to rain later today.

Busy Adding New Cards

2010-10-24T14:56:00.003-05:00

I was really busy adding new cards for approval at my card store the other day. I have 130 cards in line waiting for approval at the moment. With the holiday rush though they are having so many cards come in for approval that it is taking about 2 weeks for approvals so it will be a bit of a wait until the new cards will be live and for sale on the site. I added some of them to my private gallery so you can see some of the new ones now if you go to the private gallery. It just doesn't get picked up by search engines so I don't really use it that often. Anyone can purchase from the private gallery though if you would like to.

Here are some cards you might like:

I'll share some of the new ones once they go live for sale. I have a few Thanksgiving ones waiting for approval. I know I am running late for them and should have been designing several months ahead of time. I also have some any occasion ones in line for approval. I will probably design some more cards of some kind today as well since it is rainy outside.

Wow! Is This For Real?

2010-10-24T11:49:00.002-05:00

I sold 500 greeting cards yesterday. I still can't believe it.

I am so happy. Misha is happy too. I gave her some extra goat treats last night and told her she is famous now. I think the other goats are a bit jealous but I told them that someday their photos would sale on cards as well.

I haven't taken any photos of the goats recently. As soon as this cloudy rainy weather moves on I think I'll take some more goat photos.

Many New Items at my Zazzle Store

I was able to add many new items to my Zazzle store today. They vary from my photography to digital art on aprons, mugs, greeting cards, bags, tees, and more.

I did some Keep Calm and Carry On digital art recently. I know that it seems to be everywhere these days but I love the words so I decided to create some of my own art using an image from the public domain I found and digitally altered into my various creations.

Here are some other versions I made with the "Keep Calm and Carry On" verse.

New Cards

2010-10-19T12:32:00.003-05:00

I'm waiting on several new cards to be approved for sale over at Greeting Card Universe. Strange thing though is that one I just uploaded yesterday was already approved while ones I made several days ago are still waiting. Oh, well. One of these days they will also be in the store. This photo is from a dear friend, Melanie, that I met at the Farmers Markets this summer. She sent it to me and told me I could use it. Thanks, Melanie. :)

Here is a Halloween card in my store. A photo I took last autumn.

More cards will be in the store soon, I hope. My fingers are crossed. I'm going to be going to one of the last Farmers Markets of the season tonight. Once they are done for the season I will have more time and will create some new photography and digital art for my stores. I love to be busy during the summer and autumn but I also love the slower season of winter when I can play around more with digital art as we spend more time indoors.

Have a great day! I'll try to post more later this week.

More New Items

2010-10-14T09:20:00.003-05:00

I've been busy outdoors the past couple of days but I did get some of the photos I took this past weekend uploaded into the store.

Teasel Sunset by angelandspot

I took this photo as the sun was setting on the Hoover Trail in Morning Sun, Iowa on Sat. evening. I know Teasel is a weed but I thought it was pretty as the sun was setting. It used to be used in floral arrangements and they say that is how it spread as a weed.

I took this during the fall festival in Bentonsport, Iowa.

I have one of the last Farmers Markets of the year tonight. I counted up and after tonight between the two markets I go to I'll only have 4 more nights at Farmers Markets until next year. Hopefully since the weather is so nice lots of people will be out at the market but I also know that a lot of the farmers are still busy bringing in the harvest and so that means that they are too busy to make it to the market. I made a few more collages yesterday that will be available for sale at the Farmers Markets. Maybe if I am lucky I will sale some more items at the markets this year. Well I better get busy I need to take some photos of some vintage bird cards I got at an antique store recently and also work on my store some before the market tonight. I'm going to leave a bit early and also check out a book sale before the market. Maybe there will be some great bargains there. I'd love to find a few more vintage children's books with chickens in them.

Busy Weekend

2010-10-11T15:01:00.003-05:00

Had a busy but fun weekend enjoying the nice summer-like temps. Yesterday I went on a drive and took a ton of photos. Today I added some new items to the store.

Here are some of the newest items in the store.

I met a cute little frog on Sat. at a nature area. I picked him/her up and took a few photos and then released it back to the wild unharmed. I went looking for the Pelicans I had seen the day before at the nature area but they had already flown the coop on their fall migration to warmer areas. I did see plenty of frogs and other wildlife though. I need to get a telephoto lens for the camera someday as several of the birds were just too far away to get any good photos with the lens I have.

Harvest Time

2010-10-07T15:24:00.002-05:00

It's harvest time. All the farmers are out with the combines in the fields around here. It is so dusty but at sunset it looks pretty. I took some sunset harvest photos last night and am going to be adding them to the store soon.

Here are some of the harvest photos already in the store. Some of them are from this year and some of them are from last year.

Loving To Create

2010-10-05T08:44:00.003-05:00

I'm loving taking photos and creating new items for my Zazzle store. I've created some more new posters, greeting cards, and calendars the past few days.

I'm not sure what kind of flower this is but I thought it was really pretty. Sadly it did not last very long when I cut it and brought it in to be put in a vase and enjoyed in the house. It is some kind of weed I know but what is called I have no clue. Any ways... I took some photos of it.
