I've Been A Baaaaad Blogger!

My apologies! Life has been a whirlwind for the last few weeks. Silver Bella in Omaha, school events for the kids, preparing for Thanksgiving and beyond. I have Silver Bella pictures to show as soon as my camera lets me have them (she's being fussy).

So in the mean time I've got a couple of Christmas ornament projects to share. First is this beauty made with Harlee Quinnz Designs Garden Path Patterned Paper. You will find complete instructions to make this on the Harlee Quinnz Designs Blog . Be sure and check out all the blog posts here, there are many wonderful tips, techniques and ideas on out blog!

My second Christmas ornament is a variation of the first. I used my Bind It All on this one. It's part of the Twelve Days of Christmas Challenge on the Zutter Ning site (look under The Zutter Zone!)at http://zutterzisters.ning.com. Come join us for lots of fun! A tutorial on this one will be on the Bind It All Blog soon!

May all of you who celebrate, have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

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.
