Whimsey Garden ATC's

As you can see I have been away from blogging for a bit, well the nasty flu bug laid me up for a couple of weeks but I'm back now!
 I just finished a project for an ATC Swap over at  Roses On My Table and here are some pic's before I mail them out.  I hope you will be back for more visits as I will be getting more things done as now I'm well. Have a great  creative week! Love to all!

Gertie's Garden

Hi there all my bloggy friends, sharing a little fun Journal page for another Journal Group I belong to over at  Roses On My Table. This is "Gertie's Garden" with Gertie and her pet snail "Polly". Just a bit of fun so I can practice more for my True Free Spirit Class over at Tim's Sally  ning group. I hope you all have a great and a creative weekend, what ever you do keep it fun!                                                                                              

Dance Like No One Is Watching

Wow it had been awhile since I last posted! Life does get busy and I have been having a great time learning new art techniques. I recently joined Tim's Sally ning group and found it to be quite fun and something very different for me. If you know me well you will know that I love learning new things. There is a project for each month and I'm of course playing catch up. I joined the True Free Spirit Group and love it. Here is my "January" True Free Spirit Girl! "Dance Like No One Is Watching".

Meet Chanel and Cherise

Thought you might like to meet Chanel and Cherise, my most recent paper dolls. They were a lot of fun to design and they were all hand drawn with the exception of their faces on white heavy duty paper, then then the Zentangles were added. A very slow process but well worth the results. Hope you enjoy them! Have a great a creative weekend, don't forget to "spring" your clocks forward, perhaps spring will be right around the corner:)

A Little Gypsy in All Of Us

How has your week been going? I have been so busy finishing up a swap or two, including a needle felting class over at  Roses on My Table  given by the talented Needle Felting Artist Judy Johnson. Later in the week I will post pic's on my other blog of my felted bunny. Before I start new classes I thought I would show you my latest Tags created for the upcoming swap Gypsies and Fortune Tellers at Roses. Have a great  creative week!

What's New In Your Neck of the Woods?

Lately I have been catching upon what seems like a zillion projects! I spent a full week creating a 12 x 12 scrapbook for my brother which included removing all the pic's and misc items from one of those "old school" scrapbooks from the 1970s that had the sticky, yucky stuff on the pages as those are not Acid Free and will suck the life out of your pic's over a period of time, especially color pic's. Well 31  pages later in his new 12 x 12 book they are saved! I'm putting this away for a Christmas or birthday present for this year.
Now for the fun stuff I created a few ATC's for a current swap coming up and a mixed media  journal page that I used as a intro page in the photo album. It was a vintage family pic of relatives which I turned into a "family tree". Quite fun, the leaves of the tree are instant oatmeal, the roots are scrim all scrunched up with matte medium as an adhesive and then painted, then a coat of wax applied. This was fun of the messy kind!
Have a great weekend! I'm off to finish another project and start a couple of new ones, finishing a needle felted bunny and starting a little art doll  class over at Paper Whimsey.
