Something Different

Well, at least for me....I'm not much of a card person. For some reason, I seem to have a mental block about creating them. But I ran across a couple of articles on swing cards the other day (when I was passing time at the dentist office) in a magazine. I didn't even pay attention to where I saw it, but the idea stuck. So I decided to try one for myself. I love to recycle my product packaging and decided to incorpoarate that into my card to.

Here's what I came up with. If anyone has any swing cards to share, I'd love to see them!! Put a link in the comments!

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.
