I got to play Girly Girl....

So, I just finished three layouts in "Paper Dresses"....an adorable book that allowed me to be Girly! And yet, I still managed to grunge it up a little! :0) So, can you tell where I was going with my themes? I think I am the only one who understands....I showed it to others and they just see the layouts....I'll let you decide if you can tell what I was doing, where I was going with my themes! Take a look:

This is the first layout, the beginning of the tale...

The second layout....where am I leading you?

Okay....what is the tale? Who gets me? 

What do you think?

So, I had to create some invitations for work....someone is going to choose one to use for a Holiday Party invitation. Which one will they choose? I'm guessing the Snowman tag or the Bears in the window...what do you think?

Okay, you will have to look sideways.....my image won't allow itself to be turned. It came over as a secure download and doesn't give me the option to turn it! Urgh! So, look sideways and do tell, which one? 

My Community....

Finished three more layouts but only have 2 to show you....I already shipped the journal to Australia....and one of the photos didn't scan correctly! So.....here's two:

Okay, so the second one....is supposed to be a street sign! Get it? It's simple but speaks volumes to me! The first layout: photos of street signs in my community! My Town! The third one that you don't see is of the Big Man in Red, himself....Making a List and Checking it Twice! 

Another Celebration

Celebrated my boss' birthday today....theme was Gardening. Here is the card and box I created to help with the celebration:

They turned out great and the party was a blast! Gorgeous flowers, pretty table decor and absolutely delicious food! Happy Birthday Sallie!

Happy Birthday Heather

So, for my good friend Heather, I created a card that I think is exactly her! Heather looks so beautiful, she loves to change her looks....my card is a reflection of the changes. Which hairstyle should she wear, should she dress glamorous? She can be anything she wants to be and does! Happy Birthday Heather....

While Waiting for Journals....I joined.....

a Worldwide Post Card swap! I finished my cards tonight and am especially thrilled with them! They are so me, in fact, that I made one for my desk at work! I spent last Sunday spray painting the backgrounds while rocking out to Nickelback! I spent tonight painting the Ravens and moon while rocking out to....you guessed it, Nickelback! Okay, so I love them! Anyhow, here is a pic of my latest art project:

I made 16 different cards, but they are all the same! The backgrounds are different ..... as I used various paint colors, stencils and texture paints. I hope you like! 

No One Sleeps During the Summer Soltice

Summer! 

I've finished the layout for Summer! Keeping with the theme of the book, I've created a layout about the State in which I reside! Coming up, The Midnight Sun Run...Just 3 weeks away! Play all day, Play all night! 24 hours of Sunlight! Who needs to sleep? I had a great time working in this journal, I'm afraid that I went totally outside the box, my layout is so different in "look" from the others! But, it's me.....I love color and black! 

I'm a joining....

I'm gonna do this! I so want to get back into the thick of things....I'm just not getting enough art time in to satisfy me, to keep me up to date with new techniques and supplies. So, tonight I joined this swap AND I ordered the Dylusions spray inks AND a Zentangle book! I'm gonna art, if it kills me!

Pride and Prejudice

So, this month's journal theme is Jane Austen and the books she wrote! My favorite being, "Pride and Prejudice", I created a layout about Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth! I do so think this is the most beautiful love story ever...a man who is so shy, he can hardly speak the words coming from his heart and a women so stubborn, she hardly hears them! Can you just hear them, these beautiful words that struggle to escape his lips:"you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love... I love... I love you. And I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.

We were asked to create a "calling card" to act as the signature for this lovely book. I cannot wait to see what is going to be done with them when the book is returned. Mine, is grungy...like my art! What man is going to want a grungy card handed to him, will he be willing to say those heart wrenching words: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love... I love... I love you. And I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.
