Black Shadow Creations
My site is named after my Black Lab, Shadow. Shadow received his name by being my constant shadow including while I am crafting. The running joke in my family was that due to the whole 'Labs shed A LOT', everything I created had a signature 'Shadow' hair hidden somewhere... While Shadow is no longer with us, I am lovingly reminded of him every time a random hair shows up in my craft room. Like our loved ones, Lab hair never really leaves us and that is a pretty comforting thought!

A Quick Post
It's been a while since I last posted, and it makes me a little sad. Life has a way of keeping one busy and forgetting to take time for a little fun.
My job keeps me creating on a regular basis, but it's not the same as just having fun. I have been doing some fun creative things, but I usually forget to take pictures and post on my blog. So today I'm sharing some cards I created for a class at the library. Fairly simple, but still fun to play!!

A Little Copic Practice
Hello! I have several different cards to share today! On my recent LSS trip, I bought a matching stamp and die set and it was just begging to be used!
I've also recently attended a beginner level Copic class and wanted to practice some of the techniques I learned. Don't look too closely and please be kind! 😉

Vintage Birthday
Hello! It's been an absolutely gorgeous Sunday in Indiana! Still a bit chilly, so it was the perfect day to work on some cards while enjoying the view from my dining room.
I went to our local scrapbooking store (yes, we're fortunate enough to still have one!) a few weeks ago and found a fabulous pack of Graphic 45 paper. Today I decided to play with it a little and make DD2 a birthday card. The papers ate so gorgeous that I really didn't need to add much.
That fabulous lace is from my mom's sewing stash! It had such a beautiful, vintage feel and I knew it would be a great addition to her card. I added a narrow strip of very vanilla cardstock to really make the ribbon stand out.
*Graphic 45- Little Things, SU- very vanilla
Well, I've been creating most of the day and I'm sure my girls are going to ask about dinner plans soon, so I'm going to wrap this up. Thanks so much for visiting!
