India!

 I am delighted to show you my first piece for the new collage sheets at
This month's theme is 
Happy Hindu - India!
Think of the colorful festivals, exotic gods, the Taj Mahal,
curries, henna tattoos, yoga, Bollywood!

(I took a Bollywood dance class a couple of years ago.
It was NOT pretty.  Trust me.  
I shall stick to art and forget dancing.)

Here is my first creation using these gorgeous images:
Aren't the colours amazing!?!

Gecko Galz Dancer

Over at the
we had been invited to create a project using one of the 
many, many
awesome images we recieved during their last fabulous blog hop!
Here is what I made:
 I used one of the lovely ladies from their "Dancers" sheet.

She is dancing in her bedroom and is seen in the window by a passer-by.
I wonder what he is thinking?

I hope you like it.

Not Very Steampunk

I actually made this for this week's Take A Word challenge, but it's not very steampunk.
So that's what I call it:  "Not Very Steampunk"
Ya win some, ya lose some.
:-)

It Figures

Over at the Wonderful
Grand Poobah Jana has invited us to create something noteworthy using either
NUMBERS
or
   SILHOUETTES
(Is that spelled correctly?)
I made something to celebrate my 
grandson's first Six Months in this universe.
He's such a good little guy.  
Nothing like the concerned little monkey we got at first.
(tee hee)  
I sure hope you go over to
to see the wonderful creations made 
by the rest of the Design Team

Chunky ATC's

Well, here it is October 31st and after tonight, 
I will no longer be making creepy stuff.
It's just not fair
Sigh.
I'll show you the last of my 2012 Halloween extravaganza
.The raven and witch's hat (a real one!) on top
 The fence

And the side
And I also made one using metal flashing tape for the base.
I LOVE that Tim Holtz blood spatter stamp.
You can see the metal better from the side.


Allright.  There are no more Halloween projects in my damp, musty storeroom.
I'm really done now.

Happy Halloween!
Until next year....................

Eerie ATC's

Here are the ATC's I made for the Unruly Paper Arts Eerie ATC swap:

and one for a Tim Holtz Addicts group I'm in:
OK, one more day and we're done.
I don't know what I'm going to do.

Creature Feature

is the theme at 
Jingle Belles right now.
They rock, you know.
So I asked myself,
"Self?" 
That's what I call myself.
"Self?  What kind of creatures are in your Christmas stash??"
And I found these.
They look like creatures to me.
(Heaven only knows what possessed me to buy that stamp.)

Naughty or Nice?
You decide.

Timepieces

Thanks to Hidden Vintage Studios, Bleuesse,
and Shadowhouse Creations for the use of their elements.

So sad.

Gothic Marie

I simply have to show you the Gothic Marie Antoinette ATC's 
I received the other day for
the Blissful ATC swap.
Aren't they wonderful!  If you lift up the skirt of the 
one in the middle, she has a little garter belt underneath.  tee hee

They are from Karla Jackson and I love them!!

Halloween continues...

I made a banner.
Ever since my friend Rosemary posted a luscious banner on her blog,
I've been making them too.
It's worthy noting that there are no children in my home, just me.
Look at my mantle.
I know, it's pitiful, isn't it.  :-)
Here's the banner.
Please keep in mind that for some unexplainable reason,
I bought a whole pad of Halloween paper and embellies last year at Mikey's for, 
like, 90% off.
I couldn't help myself.
So I HAD TO make this thing.
Anyhoo...
I know what you're thinkig. 
"Does she have a life?"
Well I do.
And I used about an hour or so of said life to make this for the mantle:
OK, 
I'm done.
Until tomorrow.
Bwhahaaaaaa!!!!!!

The End is Near!

I haven't made anything for my Everything Wendy Vecchi group for far too long, 
so I decided to play along with the current challenge:
The theme is
Freaky, Creepy and Weird.
What do you think?

All stamps are by Wendy Vecchi.
(duh)

You know how you wake up in the morning

with all sorts of good intentions
and the day just kind of goes to the dogs?
Well, that's been my day.
BUT
I got some terrific photos...
But I digress.
What I meant to show you is this
and it is for both

Wings

This is the first:
Elements used are by Lisa's Altered Art, Bonnie Zeiman,and Bleuesse  
Here is the second one that I eventually chose:
 Elements used are by Amanda Frijo-Tobin, Annequins,
