"Pin Up Girls" VPI Swap

My first Vintage Photo Image Swap of 2012 the theme,

you guessed it, "Pin-Up Girls" A little research on google images and this is what I came up with. Along with a few more ideas to come!

Greeting Spring

This piece was made to be shown with the Spring Challenge piece in my last post. I liked the technique so much that I had to do another. This time I added a little extra detail to the sides.

 

New Art for 2012

2011 is now in the history books, and what a wonderful year it was. I have been truly blessed. Everyone is healthy, we have a new grand daughter on the way. All of my children are doing well. It maybe a long winter but spring will soon follow.

I created this piece for a "Spring" challenge in the Somerset Studio Magazine. Two more pieces on the drawing board. Wish me Luck!

Three Muses Challenge "Angels"

It's been a while since I posted on some of my favorite challenge sites. Life has been busy. Maybe now with the new year coming I'll have a little more creative time during the week. I've been making these ornaments for the holidays and thought it would be perfect for this challenge!

Have a Wonderful Christmas Everyone!

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Front

Well it's that time of the year again! The most wonderful time of the year! Thanksgiving 2011 is in the history books. Black Friday is done and over. I avoided it completely and put up all my Christmas decorations. Now I have some time to create. Finally!!!

Back

Chip board puzzle pieces are the ornament of choice this year. Lots and lots of detail!

Time consuming but so much fun to do! I love these projects because they are all so different. One of a kind!:)

Happy Holidays!!!!!!!!!!!!

Journal Pages

A couple of years ago, my daughter, Kellyn moved from Michigan across the country to California. It was a pretty big move from our small town.  Needless to say we don't get to see her but maybe once a year. This year for Christmas my husband and I decided to fly her home for the holidays. So she can catch up with family and friends. Can't wait to see you, Kellyn!!!! Merry Christmas!!!!!

I created this two page journal entry using a photo of Kellyn from one of her profile pictures on face book. I wanted to do something as colorful and free spirited as she is. I think my mission was accomplished.

Art Journal Pages

For the last couple of weeks lunch breaks at work have been spent on art journal pages. It's my escape from a loud and very busy classroom. It's only a forty minute escape. I love this time to myself.

Trick Or Treat

Trick or Treat

On Halloween

 the thing you must do

Is pretend that nothing

frightens you.

And if something scares you....

and you want to run.

Just let on like it's...

Halloween Fun!
