DaScrapAddict: Well Whatta Ya Know.....

I ducked into Michael's today to try & replace my paper piercer that I broke while manhandling some acrylic....and I stumbled upon some really coooool Prima stuff. Well, I just HAD to buy some (the twelve step program isn't helping....).

And then, when I got home....I just HAD to scrap. Well....with awesome cuts and rips (yes..ripping) from my Purple Cows 1040 Trimmer, a repurposed Prima package, flowers, brads, Ranger Distress Ink, crackle paint, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and plain old cardboard..came this:

I feel sooooo much better now........

About the Artist

Hi, I’m Vickie Flinchum an Oregon City Mixed Media Assemblage Artist, playfully identifying myself as “Da Scrap Addict.” Originally hailing from the Deep South, I spent many years in Kentucky, Florida and Texas before relocating to the Pacific Northwest. I’m self taught with no formal artistic education. My love of art has followed me from childhood, with learning, exploring and creating being a life-long passion. My fascination with color and texture, and corrosion and weathering is reflected in my work where I often combine vintage baubles, found objects and distressed elements to express my artistic voice. I have over a decade of experience in the Paper Crafting and Scrapbooking industry as a product demonstrator and designer, blogger, design team member, educator and published artist. My works have been featured in Cloth, Paper Scissors Magazine; The Big Book of Scrapbooking Ideas and The Bind-It-All Around the World – Idea Book. I regularly exhibit at Moonlight Coffeehouse, Boutique & Gallery in Oak Grove and Three Rivers Artists Guild Gallery located in the Singer Hill Cafe in Oregon City.
