Do You Sketch What I Sketch?

sung to the tune of

Do You See What I see?

of course.

I used Gecko Galz Images and Paper

 and followed the sketch loosely,

I must admit.

But I think it's sweet.

and it's

for the current challenge at

Jingle Belles.Cus they rock!

(They really do!)

And I will have all my cards ready, come time to ail them out.

Will You????????

The Belles can help.

Check it out.

And thanks for coming by.

Halloween at the Opus

I don't think my daughter looks at my blog anymore.

So the surprise package arriving in the mail will still be a surprise.

And when I saw that

the Poobahs at The Order of the Opus Gluei

have their current challenge as

HALLOWEEN,

I knew I had to make something

for my little grandson.

So, this is what I made...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN LOGAN!

Check out the amazing challenges at

The Order of the Opus Gluei

They are simply

THE BEST!!

Thanks for stopping by.

Now get back to work on your

Halloween projects!

Artist Style

This week

The Three Muses

have invited us to create something in the style of

our favorite artist or artist style

Since I am a photographer (my first love)

I chose the art of

Andreas Feininger who is a famous

photographer from the 1940's.

He featured images of New York City.

I chose one of my own pics from a trip to Times Square in 2008

and played with it for a very long time. lol

Thanks to Amanda Sok, 2 Little Owls, and Lost and Found

for the use of their elements.

And thanks to you for coming by!

Pink Christmas for the Cause!

Every year, my friends at

Jingle Belles

hold a Pink Christmas Extravaganza to

raise funds for Breast Cancer Research.

This year, all the proceeds are going to the

Breast Cancer Awareness Foundation

For every pink card we make,

they donate $2.00 to the cause.

I wish I had been faster on the draw for this,

cus then I could have rallied support, but

since my accident, I have been out of commish big-time.

I did however, spend a whole day and make 11, count 'em 11 cards,

and every one of them is PINK!

This marks my slow healing and official re-entry

into the work of arty goodness.

I'm so grateful that I checked out the Belles and saw what they were up to so I could play along!

Warning, friends, this is a LONG picture-heavy post.

Bear with me please...

(As a side note, this first card uses an image from

a vintage gift package

I received from Jingle Belles

a couple of years ago!)

Since I told you about this wonderful opportunity to help out

so late,

don't hesitate to send a little monetary love the way of the

Breast Cancer Awareness Foundation

if you are so inclined.

And otherwise, have a

super-pinky-liscious day!

Thanks for stopping by!

(Spider) Webs

This is for this week's Sunday Postcard Art

Now I have to be honest.

I am phobically-terrified of

spiders.

and so when/if I do use any in my art,

I have to not look at them.

I know, weird, right?

At any rate, this morning I am up and sitting at the puter,

and making some art for the first time

in two weeks.

So that's a good thing.

Even if it IS with

spiders.

Thanks for coming by, you know I just LOVE to see you!

Art Journal Page

for this week at Digitalmania

This was made before my accident, so

I figured I may as well post it.

If you have left a comment and I have not been by

to see you, please

accept my apologies.

Still healing and haven't been able to really sit at the puter yet.

This is about my limit.

See you soon, though, I hope!

Music In Me

The October challenge at

Gecko Galz

is The Music In Me.

You'll find all sorts of wonderful images and 

papers at The Etsy Gecko Galz shop

to create something special!

Here is something I put together

using Gecko Galz products

to give you some inspiration:

There are some gorgeous new collage sheets,

digital stamps and papers at the shop as well

this month.

I created these pieces to give you

an idea of what is available:

I hope that gives you an idea of the amazing 

quality and variety of the Gecko Galz products!

And while I have your attention,

don't forget to mark on your calendars:

More info to come,

stay posted at

Gecko Galz

Thanks for coming by, I hope to see your

challenge piece soon!

I made this for the DARK theme at

this week's Sunday Postcard Art

This piece is for Lunagirl Moonbeams as well.

5 days ago, I had an accident and broke two ribs.

NOT good.

So I have just been sitting and trying to

move as little as possible since then.

No art, no reading, no computer.

I am not a good patient.

This is worse pain than childbirth, frankly.

I want this to be over.

But it is what it is.

Thank God for friends who check in on me.

I hope you are having a wonderful Thanksgiving,

if you are in a country that celebrates today, 

like we are.

And if not, have a funny day anyways!

hugs,

Electra

Creepy

Collage Obsession

asks the question

WHAT CREEP YOU OUT?

And they have a wonderful image of a spider.

I am terrified of spiders.

TERRIFIED

I can barely read the  Collage Obsession post.

So I did NOT make something with spider as the focus.

My piece does have a spider in it, but I had to do it

really quickly and not look at it

for the rest of the time I was working on the piece.

In fact, I turn the image off.

What can I say.

 EEWWWWW.

Phone Booth

You don't see them anymore.

I remember using them.

(showing my age here).

I also remember saying I would never get a cell phone.

Or a computer.

But then in 1959,

my dad said of our first Television,

"It'll never catch on."

I guess it runs in the family.
