The Saltbox Sampler

1988 Country Living

We just arrived home from our 4th of July trip. Before I left I came upon two 1988 issues of Country Living magazine. One was the 10th anniversary issue. The other the month of March. I have loved looking through these. The mag was still actually Country Living. I stopped reading it when it became all trends like any other home mag. Mary Rose tells me it is getting better again. It was nice to leaf through the past. One of my favourite columns was Real Estate Sampler. I loved seeing all the homes available throughout America and imagine myself living in them. The odd part of the magazine---all the cigarette ads with women dressed like they were on the tv show Dynasty! Our next release is scheduled for the last week of July. It includes: -Americana -Simple Summer -Saltbox Greetings -Summer Banner -Farm Friends I will post the Club Stamp later today. I am on my iPhone because our internet is down and do not have a photo. Blessings to you.

Marker swatches

Those printed color charts just don't do the real marker or pencil color justice.  Therefore, I scanned my  Copic marker swatch page and Prismas I must have all the time and am posting it for you here.  Just click on the link below to download all the colors.  The reds did not come out nearly as accurate on the full page, so I created the reds as there own pix. (See above)
These samples are very close to original swatches.  Remember, screen colors due to monitor and print outs often alter color.  I hope this at least gives you a guideline.
