Autumn Colours

I made this cus I love Autumn colours for

Rogue Redhead Designs Rebel Challenge 27

and

Lungirl Moonbeans Challenge: Autumn

even though I'm spending every waking moment 

getting ready to travel up north with a good friend

for an Art Journalling Weekend.

Woo Hoo!

It's going to be a blast.

So thanks for coming by and I'll see you after the weekend.

With a big smile on my face.

Over and Out.

Quotography

This week's theme is Your Choice

The photo is one I took on a trip to Cuba and the quote

is by Germaine Greer.

(It's kind of my mantra)

Boo!

Challenge #166 at

The Order of the Opus Gluei 

is

BOO!

So into my Halloween drawer I went...

And since  October 31st is pretty much my favoritest holiday of all,

I was thrilled (get it, thrilled?, mwahahahaha....)

by this thrilling theme.

I made ATC's,

Well, I actually made them for a swap, but what the hey,

Boo is Boo, right?

Did I mention I have a Halloween drawer?

Oh, I did?

Well, never mind that, this is

just the beginning.

You have until Saturday, October 5th 

to link up with us 

and that gives you

plenty of time to make something scary

and still put your parka 

over your Halloween costume 

(if you're Canadian) 

and get out there with a pillowcase

just begging to be filled with sugary goodness.  

See you there!

 I'll see you when the snow flies.

Have a funny day.

Unless you have other plans.

Our World Tuesday 

Jingle Belle Vintage

It's kind of hard to tell, but I cut out the window panes 

and put my image behind the window.

Then I wrapped a sheet of acrylic over top of the cards 

and put little puffs of snow on it.

And some snow along the window panes.

The Sentiment was cut from another vintage card.

A spring of holly

(vintage plastic - lol)

And another card is done.

You know you still have time to get all your cards done before December.

Jingle Belles.

You won't regret it!

Cityscape

The brand new Challenge #165 at

The Order of the Opus Gluei

is

Cityscape

We are inviting you to join us in creating 

something with the theme

Cityscape in mind.

Let your imagination go wild!

I started with a cityscape

by Beth Rimmer and went from there:

Tumblefish Studios,

Bluesse, Holliewood Studios, and Berna Datema

Does it convey my angst (that's such a great word)

 at some of the challenges of a big city?

But I continued on, on a more (I hope) positive note:

All elements used here are by Beth Rimmer.

Please come on over to

The Order of the Opus Gluei 

and play along with us.

We have fun.

You know we do.

You have until the end of 

Saturday, September 21st to link up with your

citified creation.

We look forward to seeing what you create!

The Weekend in Black and White

Fortunately this photo is not of THIS weekend.

It's a shot of an area where I work that was flooded-this is all supposed to be dry land.

It's under about 5 feet of rushing water.

I was going through my pics and this caught me up short.

Now all that's left is the rebuilding.

I prefer dry.

No doubt about it.

Thanks for coming by.

Wooden You?

The September Readers Art Quest Challenge #1 is

WOODEN YOU?

at 

Unruly Paper Arts 

Just create something with wood in it.

It just so happens, I picked up
a wooden owl at Mikey's one day, 70% off or something

a while ago, and

it's been hooting at me ever since to do something with it.

I think she looks rather Unruly, don't you?

I shall name her Matilda.

All of Matilda's parts are very bold and very old from my stash, 

so I can't give any credits.

REALLY old

Kind of like me.

lol

Thanks for coming by,

JIngle Sketch

I am so proud of myself.

I hope you're impressed.

And I even like it!

Life is good.

Thanks for coming by!

Vintage Tag Along

In my blurfing, I discovered a brand new

challenge site called

Tag Along

So, even though I barely keep up with the challenges 

I like to participate in already

and even though there are a gazillion things I should be doing

instead of making tags,

I played along.
