Versatile Kaleis

Good morning for a third time!

This picture says it all! The versatile kalei.

FUN!

Enjoy!

See you soon!

Good morning again!

What a wonderful Saturday! Lots of time to play this morning.

Here are the second set of simple kaleis. Yes. The border is still in this one.

But notice how simple each accessory is. And stacked one on another, they can create some pretty terrific looking flowers.

Working in an art program that lets you create layers is also fantastic with kaleis. You can take a separate layer and create new colors out of your kaleis. The flower then takes on a whole new look.


Here are some kalei'd creations using the stack method and colorizing.

I especially like the one in the yellow box. Very colorful.

Creating with kaleis is so versatile, too. You can eliminate any part of it that you don't want, or just colorize a portion of it.

KALEIS ARE SO VERSATILE, AND LET YOU CREATE SUCH UNIQUENESS.

I hope you enjoyed these posts today. I enjoyed making them, and you may freely use them, if you wish.

See you in a minute!

Good morning!

This morning, I went "hog-wild" with kaleis!

Ever wondered what you can do with kaleis? Well this first example was made with kaleis from the packs in this Saturday edition of HomeSpun Graphics as well as the next post.

Here just some basic kaleis that I started. One is a nice border that could be used for stationary or a card.

The others are individual kaleis.

The nice thing about kaleis is that you can place one on top of another to get some pretty terrific looking flowers.

Only a lack of imagination or experimenting can keep you from finding a combination you really like.

When I look at a kalei, I see fun!!! You will find a third post today featuring this idea.

And now ... onto my second post!


KALEIS CAN MAKE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS!

Isn't this pretty?

Enjoy.

See you in a minute!

Ever Wanted to Pick Up FREE graphics?

Good afternoon ... and it's still Sunday!

The sun is now shining in Columbus! My husband got out and shoveled our driveway and sidewalk. Even though it is a short driveway, shoveling 1 foot + snow is quite a lot. He came in every so often to rest.

The wild cats that I feed are basking on that warm driveway after 2 days of frozen, blizzardy weather.

Today, I started a new FREE website where my graphics can be picked . So if you ever wanted to pick up FREE graphics ... just click on the picture.

While graphics are created by me, they are free to use in any manner you wish, commercially or hobby-wise. You may not claim them as your own, but you can put them in any creation and that creation belongs to you.

Webbly.com offers free websites. It has taken a little getting used to; but what the heck! It's free!

Enjoy today! See you soon!

Pre-Spring Tribute

Good morning,

With all the snow outside this morning, which is more than a foot, you might wonder whether spring will ever arrive!

While it's not officially here until March 20th, I did this pre-spring tribute to get you through the next 11 days.

These pre-spring flowers are kaleis. And speaking of kalei'd flowers, there is a website I found this morning that is kinda cool.

If you want to try your hand at making some pretty flowers, or just look at some that others made, try: www.zefrank.com/flowers.

This month is full of surprises. Besides the first day of spring, Easter Sunday is 3/23, and St. Patrick's Day is on 3/17.

The snow in Columbus lays like a thick quilt on the bed of our yards and driveways. Today will be a day of digging out, so we can get to work tomorrow. This whole next week, the temps are supposed to rise, and tease us with spring temperatures.

Have a really great day! See you soon!

Need a To DO Note?

Good morning!

This is Saturday, March 8, 2008, and Columbus is having its biggest snow fall all year, and for many, many years.

I'm sure many of you in the surrounding area are experiencing pretty much the same thing.

Today's creation is a TO DO Note! Like it? Grab it free!

I can't believe this snow.

My company shut down 1 hour earlier yesterday. I was glad to get out of there. The trip home was slippery and slow.

My husband arrived shortly after I got home, and we quickly headed to the grocery store closest to us to stock up. Everybody was thinking the same thing, as they predicted additional snowfall for Saturday. And looking out my window, they were right. We are supposed to get 8 to 12 inches; maybe 15. It is beautiful, and it looks like we have 1 foot already!

So today is a good day to "hole up" in our warm house. We bought plenty of kerosene to help heat the house, and it is so nice inside.

This morning, I made a little pot of coffee (4-cup size), and put a sugar-free chocolate mint in the bottom before brewing. Ummmm, good!

Hope you are having a wonderful day! Enjoy the TO DO note. See you soon!

March 2008 Calendar and Kalei's

Good morning,

I love making calendars. So being as today is March 1st, I thought I'd celebrate with this March 2008 Calendar and Kalei's.

March 1st: Is spring almost here? I sure hope so. I have had more than enough of winter and snow this year. While Columbus hasn't had many DEEP snow falls, we have more days covering the ground with snow than we have had in many, many years.

I am surprised by all this snow.

Some schools here have used all their allotted snow days. One school in our area is having school today. What a bummer for students!

Hoping you have a great Saturday!

See you soon!
