Easter ATC's

for a swap...

I bought all the staff bunny ears for work last week 

and we all wore them.

Well., actually, I had a Mad Hatter Hat and so did one other person.  

We're Management, after all.

We had a graduation ceremony with families invited and we wore them.

One family member said, "I know you do great work, 

but I'm finding it hard to take you seriously."

lol

Graffiti

for Photo Art Friday

I came across this is a sleepy little prairie town.

It's not what one would necessarily consider to be graffiti, but I think it's pretty awesome.

Before:

and with the addition of Bonnie Zemian's textures:  

Medieval Magic and Age It

and then,

GRAFFITI-a rude decoration 

inscribed on rocks or walls

Before:

 I've added Bonnie's Age It and Medieval Magic Testures.

I love graffiti.

See you at Bonnie Zeiman's

Photo Art Friday

and have a great Easter!

Challenge #153 at the Gluei Resort!

Hi folks.  It's time for a new challenge at

The Order of the Opus Gluei 

Go Where You Haven't Gone Before  

(I know, it makes me think of Star Trek too.)

For a long time now, I have wanted to make a piece of

SHE ART  

But you know how that goes...I can't, it won't work, I'm not talented enough....

 That self talk can be a bitch.

Well, Grand Poobah Rosemary invited us to try something we have never tried before, 

it was either do cartwheels on the front lawn

(Yeah, right)

or try to do some She Art

She Art it is.  

 It took me a long time, but I have to say, I love it.

I made her skirt out of wax paper, glue, bits of stuff, and napkins.

  It was the perfect opportunity to go through my stash...

 It involved many, many, many, many, MANY, many, many,

many layers.

 And the most important thing is

I DID IT!

I hope this inspires you to go when you have not been before.. 

You have until April 6th to link up with us at

The Order of The Opus Gluei 

See you there!

That's just what I need, another challenge.

lol

Thanks for stopping by, I hope life is treating you kindly.

Self Portrait

I have to admit that when Bonnie said this week's theme would be 

Self-Portrait

I said to myself, "Well, THAT will never happen."

But then I decided to play around.

This is what I got...

with the help of Bonnie's testures:

Artist, Artist's Easel, Abstract Scratches and Dream Wonder

and I'm OK with you seeing it.

See lots more artists at

Photo Art Friday 

and maybe even do a self portrait of your own!

Thanks for looking.

(and thanks to Bonnie's textures for giving me the courage to do this!)

Song Title

This week's theme is

Portrait

for Bonnie Zeiman's

Photo Art Friday 

I decided to use a picture of a little girl, that I took in Cuba a few years ago.

She has this look about her as if to say,

"Oh no, you don't take MY picture!"

 with the addition of Bonnie's textures:

Beauty Is, Dropped Petals, and Serve Life,

an overlay by Shadowhouse Creations,

and a tearose by Gilded Bee, I created this:

There is lots of amazing art at Bonnie's

Pixel Dust Studios

as well as her stunning textures.

Children

What was your childhood like?

I was chubby with batgirl glasses.

Amazing what you can come up with when you take one word 

and think about it for a while.

I hope you check out

There are likely some artists with much sweeter thoughts on children.

Western shades of Brown with Ecru and Cream

That, my friends is the new challenge at
Soartful Challenges
I made a birthday card for a man I work with who is a cowboy through and through.
He's big and you can here him coming as he ambles into the room.
Blue jeans and boots, that's what it's all about.
So that was the challenge for me, how to make a card for a rough and tough good ol' boy which was manly and fun too.

I hope Joe likes it.

And you can create something western or using shades of brown, ecru and cream. 

 It doesn't even have to be westerm, that's

 just a kick-start to your imagination.

I hope you visit

Soartful Challenges

and check out all the inspiration from our Design Team 

and then join in with a project of your own!

You have until April 6th to take part in this challenge.

(Plenty of time)

See you there!
