Artist Trading Cards

My very talented friend Michelle and I decieded to do a swap. She picked a theme and so did I. We went with "Vintage Children" and "Steampunk". These are the ATC's I created.  Explore is the title for the first one, I got the image from the Magic Moonlight Images website. I can't tell you the papers  because they are bits and pieces from a scrap pile! For my Steampunk beauty. The gears are Tim Holtz and paper is Bo Bunny and the image again is from Magic Moonlight Images. That has to be my most favorite site to go to for inspiration and that special photo that I need to find.

Taught My First Class!!!!!

It's been a very busy summer so far, and does not seem to be letting up. Working, gardening and camping. Lots of fun!!!!  I also taught my first class! At "Remember When Scrap booking"

This was a technique class, and a lot of fun to teach. I think everyone was thrilled with their finished product.  Both classes were sold out! Everyone seems to be interested in another one. I think I'll use the "Graphics 45 Magic of OZ Collection" for my next project!!!

Thank You Ladies! I'm so glad you enjoyed yourselves!

Vintage Children Postcard Swap

"Vintage Children"

This is the theme for next swap

"A Child " is one of my favorites the poem, I got from a teacher I work with. It's about children with special needs, this is a theme that is close to my heart.

Hello!

This piece was inspired by a nursary rhyme that my Dad used to read to us when we were kids. Lots of memories!

It's finally Summer!

  Finally after a long winter, spring is finally made it's way. I haven't been posting alot of art lately because my garden has been my top priority.

   Thom has the pond looking better then it ever has. The water lillies have come back and so have the frogs and most of our Koi. We're hoping to see little ones soon!

  Josie used to stalk all of the birds and bunnies in the backyard, now she just sits and watches. That keeps everyone out of my kitchen garden.

  I love my garden, it's always a work in progress, ever changing and ever beautiful!

Does Time Really Fly?

The challenge this week for "College Obsession"  Is "Time", that just happens to fit in with some other art I've been working on. I really like this one, hope you do too!!!! Thanks for looking!

Vintage 4th of July ATC's

These are the ATC's that I created for my first "Vintage Photo Image ATC swap. I'm sending them out on Tuesday. I can't wait to see the wonderful pieces of art everyone that joined  in on this swap have created!

"Cheers" It's Happy Hour

First of all, I'd like to thank Mandy for inviting me to be this weeks host of Sunday Post Card Art. I am excited and honored to be included among all of the talented artists who frequent this site.This was a fun theme for me to work with. The image of the woman was perfect. I've used it in a couple of other pieces. I'm very excited to see what all of you come up with!
