Hello there.... I'm back, believe it or not, and wishing for Christmas in July!
We are in the midst of a record heatwave here, and Frederick registered 106 degrees F. yesterday, but only 103 today:(( I'm feeling summertime cabin fever and decided it would be a nice diversion to create some wintertime/Christmas cards for our heroes early to keep thinking "cool". However, first I wanted to make a card using sketch challenge #23, and afterwards found that it also covered the midweek inspiration color challenge. 
This is also one of the images included in the 5-page set of stamped images promised as a surprise gift to one lucky person during the Independence Day blog tour last weekend. I have made a random pick of all comments received, and the winner is: Carol L. I'll be getting in touch with Carol for mailing instructions this week. I thank everyone for their kind comments and for participating in this blog tour with me.
Before I call it a night here, I'd like to mention that I'll be busy working on some paintings over the next few weeks to get them ready to enter into several shows, so I may not be blogging very often. But, if anyone is interested in seeing some of them, you won't have to twist my arm to get me to post a few.... maybe even as "works in progress" so I can get your feedback. I believe I wrote earlier that I do keep busy creating not only cards for our heroes, but paintings in pastel, oil and acrylic and want to share them with you here in my Corner Studio.
In the meantime, thank you for visiting here, and do check back periodically to see how my work is progressing. Keep cool....and have a good night.
