Tag Tuesday

The challenge today at Louise's Tag Tuesday is to use the colors purple, green and silver. I happen to be wrapping a Christmas gift today for someone (who shall remain nameless!) whose favorite color is purple...so this will be perfect for her package! I've always loved images of Santas in purple robes. This lovely Santa was shared by Suzee Que and you can see the original here. Be sure to stop by Kard Krazy to see all the lovely tags!

Sneak Peek for Deb

It's sneak peek week at A Swap for All Seasons and I almost forgot to post my peek! This time we're swapping altered cabinet cards. I love these old photos...I always wonder who these people were and what their life was like. They have to have names for me...this man became Albert. He has kind eyes and a steady gaze. A solid, trusting face. I like him! I can't show you the finished card...only a peek. We're supposed to mail them tomorrow. So, come back in a few days if you'd like to see Albert in all his glory. In the mean time I'll show you the BACK of his photo which is often times with these cabinet cards as lovely as the photo itself!

Advent Calendar Pocket Day 9

Lisa Pace has added another pocket to her Advent Pocket Calendar project. I didn't have a red bird similar to the one she used so I substituted this little vintage ornament. I think it works just as well, don't you? This has been such a fun project...we're over half way now. I'm really looking forward to seeing what it will all look like when it's finished!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Have a wonderful day!

VooDoo Heart

The Voodoo Heart Shadow Box is another Artist Class project I got to work on this weekend. Tia Storm taught the project which called for a shadow box to hold a hand sewn heart. I didn't have a shadow box handy so I took a stretched canvas and painted it black, added paper to the sides and old sheet music to the center and made my own. My heart took a bit of a different direction than Tia's...not too much angst in my heart these days thankfully...but that's the beauty of a project like this. You can create it in whatever manner that speaks to you! Artist class is now officially over but I still have several projects to complete. Good thing I'm off today!

Artist Class - Digital ATCs with Joy Ott

Joy Ott has a nice and easy tutorial at Artist Class for making digital ATCs. Here's the one I made using the digital kit she provided us. I'm still very much a beginner when it comes to digital art...I think I'll always love the actual cutting and pasting best...but it's fun to play around and learn something new.

Advent Calendar Pockets 3 and 12

Here are two more Advent calendar pockets I've finished. Don't you wish you had all the time in the world to play at things you love? I could sit at my craft table and be happy as a clam cutting and pasting all day! What have you been creating lately? I'll check back later...I'm off to work now...have a fun Saturday!
