TMTA - Vampires and Bats and EIM - Dreams

Here is my ATC for Think Monday, Think ATC where the theme is Vampires and bats and my inchie for Every Inchie Monday where the theme is Dreams. I forgot to post Monday because I am at the beach and having so much fun with a bunch of girlfriends! The ATC image is hand drawn and the Vampire is from some of my graphics. I thought that the vampire was very much like some of my crazy dreams!

Fall Leaves Card

It has been so long since I've posted because our lives have been crazy busy! Anybody miss reading my new posts? Well, I've missed being here to post. But next week I go to the beach with girlfriends. Ah, maybe then I'll get some new art done and do some more posting! But I do have something new that I made. My friend, Diann did a make and take on my online art group, An Affair with Art better know to us as AAWA. She did a beautiful Fall leaves card and challenged us to do variation of it. So here is my Fall leaves card. I think you can click on it if you want to see it up close.

Several people will be getting it as a birthday card. I love that we had a card for our monthly make and take. I hope we get more cards for our online make and takes because I love the inspiration as I send out birthday cards every month!

Kiss inchie for Every inchie Monday

This is my inchie for Every Inchie Monday where the theme is Kiss. I was cleaning some old files out and thought this would be perfect for kiss. But what's up with him holding a handkerchief?

TMTA - Nostalgia and Every Inchie Monday - Cozy and leaf inchies for AAWA

This is a series of leaf inchies for AAWA (my online art group). They are having a mingle for inchies with a fall theme. I had to do 4. The last one was printed on a plank printed paper and that is why the black line is there. I was trying to use printed papers with a fall type theme.



This is my inchie for Every Inchie Monday where the theme is cozy for this week.


Here is my ATC for TMTA where the theme is nostalgia.

Great weekend with friends

I just got back from a trip with friends. My friend, Claudia and I went to see our friend. Diane in Raleigh, NC. We had a wonderful time. Our other friend, Diann joined us on Monday and we had a wonderful time creating. Here are some of the things that we did.

This was a 5x7 inch picture that my friend, Diann gave me for the cat lottery that I won this month in our online art group.

Diann also gave me this cute little cat ATC.











I made this tassel
with my friends
Claudia, Diane,
and Diann. This
was a project that
Diane taught us all.

This necklace really did not scan very well but this is another project that Diane taught us. It is a necklace made from a sticker believe it or not that has glossy accents on it and the center is the top of a spoon filled with all sorts of treasures.


I have one more necklace which is the bottom of the spoon but I'll have to find it as I unpack.

Fish pond in the Garden

This is an ATC that I made for our local altered book club. The theme was Gardens for this ATC and it has a background that was sprayed with different colors of distress inks. Then the fish was stenciled on it. It was layered with stamps, guesso, napkins, more ink over the quote and doodles. The quote is by William Shakespear.
I wanted it to look like the view from the pond that the fish sees of the garden.
I hope Linda likes it!

TMTA - Eternity and Every Inchie Monday - Strength

This is my inchie for Every Inchie Monday where the theme is strength. I hope you can tell it is a strong man holding a little baby. I thought that was kind of cute because you are going to need all the strength that you have to raise a little baby!





This is my ATC for Think Monday, Think ATC
Where the theme is Eternity. Since my 41st
Anniversary is this month on the 23rd, I was
thinking about marriage. And no that is not
me and my DH. It is just an image that I had
on one of my graphic programs.
