Just playin..

Managed a couple of Valentine cards...not enough to sell at work but that's the way it goes sometimes!!  This is what I managed:

But i've been able to get some other creating done too!  Like this farewell card for a co-worker leaving the country:

I snagged some of the bakers twine from work and added it to the card so she'd always have a piece of the place while she travels.

And then this card for a swap I'm in - theme was 'heartstrings' and layers.

And lastly, inspiration came from Pinterest.  Saw a wonderful branch covered in origami cranes so I pulled out my Cricut and cut a few butterflies to throw at my wall

Adds a bit of colour to dull brown walls :D

till next time,

2012 - Ready or Not!!!

Christmas is packed away, studio is cleaned (not sure for how long) and I'm creating again. Soooo many things I want to try my hand at. I joined a friend's Yahoo group specializing in Altered Art and created an ATC (Artist Trading Card) tryptich for my first swap. I enjoyed the process and stepping outside my box for a change.  Each panel is 2.5 x3.5 - easy enough to do.

Think I might have to make a larger one for Ron's den but shhhh, don't tell him ;)

Also working on some Valentine cards to sell at work - I'll be sharing those in the next while.

For now, back to the work table to see what I can accomplish today!!

Christmas cards

Been loving getting my fingers all inky again - and all the inspiration out there from so many talented people to get me going.  Thanks to all!!

And yet more cards!!

For the most part all of these cards were inspired by other consultants in one way or another - either a direct copy or even as I reminder of "hey, I have that stamp set!!  Enjoy!!

2 more cards!!

These two were inspired by fellow consultant Maureen O'Sullivan.  Using up some old Aspen paper.

Wanted to play with white on white today - no snow yet here but it's coming fast I'm sure!!  Here's my attempt at an all white (ish) card.

Just a wee bit of bling and some silvery vellum for contrast.  Enjoy!!
