The stamp for Day 19 is building on the stamps from the past few days. I have been experimenting with patterns using the previous stamps. I may even combine them with my stamps from last Carve December. As you can see, I just need to get refill ink for my red ink pad….

Carve December Day 12
Today’s sketches and today’s stamp. (Plus yesterday’s prints.)
Carve December Day 9
9 days done. I almost forgot to do today’s stamp. I sat and sketched out my design while listening to Christmas music. I like to listen to a variety of Christmas music from carols, to classical, to contemporary. Sometimes sneaking in Soundtrack music like Love, Actually or Scott McCreery’s “Five More Minutes.” During the day,Continue reading “Carve December Day 9”
Carve December Day 8
I wanted to go back to doing holiday stamps. I played around with reindeer ideas because today’s prompt is energy and a flying reindeer definitely has energy. This stamp was quick and easy, after drawing a bunch of jumping and flying reindeer in my sketchbook first. Here is today’s stamp with the various sketches.
Carve December Day 5

Inktober Day 30

The sad thing about October ending is we jump from Autumn right into the Christmas season without being able to enjoy Thanksgiving as an Autumn holiday. I mean, it’s nice to hear the ChristmasContinue reading “Inktober Day 30”
Inktober Day 29
Wow, almost at the end of October. We are now into Halloween weekend. Where does the time go? Today’s prompt is “Uh-oh.” For some reason I went right to thinking about the wildlife in the neighborhood, probably because our friendly neighborhood Little Blue Heron, was stalking through everyone’s flower beds, looking for “yum yums” likeContinue reading “Inktober Day 29”
Inktober Day 28
Inktober Day 28 and today’s prompt is “camping.” I got the idea for this sketch from the season. What do we do when we are camping? Usually a campfire is one of the evening activities that people do while camping. A campfire brings light to the dark. It can be used to cook food, marshmallows,Continue reading “Inktober Day 28”
