So Sad

It's the last card challenge for my favorite Belles at

Jingle Belles Rock

sniff, sniff

until next year, of course

I'll miss them.

but I have addressed and mailed all my cards!!

  For my last card, for the "figgy pudding" theme,

I used some old images from years ago when I belonged to the Hug Club.  

That's when I was starting to learn scrapbooking.

I guess I should say thank you to them.

Thank you Hug Club.

And thank you Jingle Belles for all the fun prompts and for helping 

me get all my Christmas done on time this year!!

You ladies definitely rock!!

3-Dee

Hi.

I don't believe I've seen you over at

The Order of the Opus Gluei

recently.

Have I?

Why is that?

You're busy, you say?

Humphf. (take THAT, spell-check)

You probably don't even know that there is a fantastic new challenge right now.

Yesirree.

We are inviting you to create something 3-dee.

Three-Dimensional to you more cerebral folk.

(which I am not)

I made an album of some of my favorite tree photos.

Unfortunately, I didn't have enough hands to really photograph this well.  

But I did the best I could.

 It's a series of "library pockets"

which hold my photos.

The photos are just photos, nothing special.  Places I love to visit.

Have I given you an idea of the 3-2 edness of my album?

If not, you can come to visit.

The Order of the Opus Gluei

Turn left at google.

I'll have the coffee on.

Hi everyone, just a reminder that you have until 

Saturday, November 1st to join in on our
Soartful 
Monochromatic/Red challenge!

There has been some wonderful artwork so far for this fun challenge,
and there is more inspiration from the design team to spur you on!
We look forward to seeing your creations!

Thanks to Holliewood Studio, Lisa's Altered Art and Rian Design for there creations!

Four Year Blogiversary!!

Is that cool or what?

I am so proud of myself.

Consider this:

"Wishin I Knew How To Blog"

I've learned.

'nuff said.

No, wait! 

Not,

'nuff said.

I have a giveaway!

Yup, I said

Giveaway!!

This

   is the prize.

I kind of like it.

Who knows, maybe one day I'll be famous 

and it will be worth a million bucks.

Or not.

Either way, I think you'll get a smile from it.

It's glittery........................

OK,

How to win?

Please leave a comment here, telling me why in heaven's name you even even come over to my blog.

I love that you do.

But sometimes I wonder.

lol.

I'll write all the names on little pieces of paper.

Maybe different colours.

Maybe not.

And then I'll smoosh them up.

And put them in the basket I keep my

"I know I just bought this, but I'll use it one day"

stuff in,

and close my eyes, and draw a name.  

Hopefully YOUR name.

And if it IS your name,

I'll let you know you won, by the very first day of December.

Cus after that I'll be busy making Christmasy stuff.

Now remember, if I am going to let you know you've won, I will need a way to contact you.

Easy-Peasy. 

And thank you, every single person who ever came by to say hullo.

You make my heart sing.

(slightly off-key, but sing, nonetheless)

:-)))

 

 

 

Still LIfe

I have not had a chance to participate in Bonnie Zeiman's wonderful

Photo Art Friday

for

Way Too Long.

So I went to visit and came back here and made this:

  Bonnie has invited us to create a

"digitally-edited still life"

This is a photo of gas for mopeds in Northern Thailand.

I couldn't figure out what it was, there were many of these displays along the roadway, 

and when I learned it was gasoline, I was surprised.

Still am.

The gas is red, BTW, that is not my editing.

I posterized it in Photoshop Elements and then applied an Ink outline filter,

then added one of my favorite textures of Bonnie's:

"Happy Days".

I encourage you to visit Bonnie's

Pixel Dust Photo Art.

You will find some amazing art there, as well as

her delightful textures!

Enjoy your evening, unless of course, you have other plans.

Rebel Challenge #17 - Uncard!

At Rogue Redhead Designs

the current challenge is to make anything but a card.

 

I thought of making banana bread, but figured that likely wouldn't work.

(although I do love banana bread)

 

So I made this instead:

The lovely ladies are a stamp from

Rogue Redhead Designs,the butterfly is a Spellbinder die,

 the paper is by Glitz Designs,the cupcake is Websters Pages,

 and the frame is also by Spellbinders, covered with Distress Ink and Glossy Accents.

I coloured the hats with glitter pens from the Loonie Store.

(Dollar Store in America)

 

Thanks for coming by!

 

Still not done with Halloween...

I received my ATC's for the Eerie ATC swap

from my Unruly Paper Arts group.

And they are 

AWESOME!

 Huge thanks to Cathy Calamas, Helene Huber, 

Michele Storms, and LaCretia Ogle.

I love snail mail, don't you?

And since we're on the subject of Halloween, 

I had to create a "Vintage Witch" ATC for my good friend Sonya.

She won the monthly WTA draw for the

Blissful ATC swap.

Here it is:

She'd better not be peeking.

I'm done with Halloween.

I promise.

Honest.

Maybe.

Gesso Texture

This is for my

Everything Wendy Vecchi group.

The challenge was to create some texture with Gesso.

I just received some amazing stencils from

The Stencil Girl

that I have been chomping at the bit to use.

So that's what I did, gesso with the stencil.

Everything else is by Wendy Vecchi, of course,

except for the buttons which are by Momenta.

Thanks for coming by!

Pink

Take A Word

Diwali

I haven't been able to do any digital art 

(or post on my blog) for DAYS now.

Cus I've been getting ready for a launch of my new business.

Did that today, came home and made this for

Sunday Postcard Art

And it just so happens that

the newest collage sheets from

Rian Design

are all based on East Indian Festivals and celebrations.

How cool is that?

You'll be wanting to check out the awesome art by the other members of 

Rian's Design Team

here!

Good to see you again!

India!

 I am delighted to show you my first piece for the new collage sheets at

Rian Design

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!?!

Please visit the rest of the Design Team to see what they got up to this month- just click on their links.

Thanks for stopping by, and let me know what you create with these sheets,

they're so pretty!

Gecko Galz Dancer

Over at the

Geckogalz blog

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

Order of the Opus Gluei 

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

The Order of the Opus Gluei 

to see the wonderful creations made 

by the rest of the Design Team 

You will definitely want to join in the fun! 

You have until November 17th. 

Monochromatic/Red!

We have a new challenge at

Soartful Challenges

Peggy has given us the theme of 

Monochromatic

Red. 

Here is my contribution:

Pretty red, eh?

I know, it makes my eyes burn.

I hope you'll go over to

Soartful Challenges
