Findin' Fun With Atc's

This is my latest set of ATC's for a Swap group that I just finished. The theme is "Around the World" and they were really fun to create. Currently I'm working on some Postcard Art for another swap, some Tags and some more ATC's for a Downton Abby Swap theme, (a really fun theme) if you are a fan for sure:) and some Altered Journals for gifts, a couple of lap size quilts for our church "quilt group" and some UFO's of scrapbooks that are for family members. I guess you could say I have been kind of busy in a good way. Gosh do you think I should take time out for a little chasing of the "dust bunnies" around here and laundry?? I guess so:) lol........ guess I better catch a couple of zzzz's before it is morning. Have a great week and I'll post again soon.

Care For A Cup Of Tea?

Come join us for a cup of tea with Meia and Teia. These are my latest paper dolls for the "Le Papier Doll" Swap I belong to. The challenge was to create 2 Geisha paper dolls and incorporate something from real tea on them. Mine are wearing hats with the tea still in the bag.                                                                                                                            

A Little Birdie Told Me!

Collage Arch recently created

 and Dryer Sheets

A little Birdie told me............ actually my niece found this out the hard way:) These dryer sheets that many of us use in our "art" collage projects can cause lots of damage to your clothes dryer. We all clean our lint filter, right? Sure, but these dryer sheets can build up a film on the filter that we can't see.  Dryer filters are made of a mesh material that filters the lint, so take out your dryer filter and run hot water over it, if the water puddles and doesn't run right through it can cause your heating unit to burn out or worse, start a fire.  If you want you clothes dryer to work for a  long time, once every six months remove the filter and wash with hot soapy water and an old tooth brush to remove invisible build up.

Lights, Camera, Action

Lights, Camera, Action is the theme for these tags. These were created with a photo of my Mom from when she was young. Mom worked for RKO Studios in Hollywood, CA as a secretary after marrying my Dad. Imagine the stories she could tell and movie stars she met, (this must of been a fun time in her life:.) I thought this pic looked like Mom could have  been reading for a part in a film.  This was taken during the years 1929-1930. Mom really wanted to be a New York City Rockette but married my Dad and came to So. CA instead. They had a great life together and were married over 60 years.                

Happy Saint Patrick's Day My Creative Friends!

The Fly Sisters Steampunk Paper Dolls

I'm just lovin' making Paper Dolls as it takes me back to childhood and all the imagination involved in cutting those bits  and pieces of paper out and ending up with a few Dolly's.  These are my Steampunk Girls, the Time Fly Sisters, Ms. Pen and Ms. Time. They were created with Graphics 45 papers, bits, baubles and jewelry findings. Ms Time has a soft wire netting overskirt. They are articulated  and oh so much fun and I can hardly wait to make some more!  

A Little Creative Fun Fashion Parade

Hi there my creative friends, hope you are all settling into the New Year and getting some creative juices going. I thought I would share with you a few things this week that I have created recently. This is a Fashion shrine created with Graphics 45 papers, seam tape and chipboard, it is difficult to see it in the pic's but it is very dimensional and the models all stand out at different levels, this was for a challenge group that I belong to.  Hope to post again soon so until then, have a good evening. Now I'm linking up to Cindy's Blog Party at Whimsical Musings.
