New Artz de Scrap Challenge!!

Join us at Artz de Scrap this month for the altered Wood Challenge!

Here's my interpretation of "alter something wooden". I salvaged a beat up jewelry box from the local thrift store and created this:



Come on and play along!!! You could win a RAK!!!

Fall Flowers

With the leaves turning and falling at an ever increasing pace here in Central Texas....I miss the flowers of spring and summer. So to add some color to the home decor I created a paper flower bouquet.



If you would like to make one too. Check out the instructions at The Purple Cows site

Happy Thanksgiving!

May the beauty of Fall and the joy of family and friends be yours this Thanksgiving.

Wow! I'm Really Behind.....

aren't I? Sorry for the long absence from blogland y'all. We relocated over the summer and life has gotten very hectic. It'll take me a little while to catch up.

First I promised pictures of my completed explosion box back in July. They are here:





The new November Challenge is up at Artz De Scrap . We are heading into the holiday season, so it's a bag tag challenge. Here is my interpretation:



Hope you'll join us for the challenge!!!

One Door Closes......

and another opens. That's what my Mom used to always tell me. I've discovered, that it is usually true.

Recently Prima made the decision to discontinue it's Prima Endorsed Artist Educator Program. I was very excited, and lucky, to be part of this great program. Prima has always been one of my favorite manufacturers. But, all good things must come to an end. And, this has.

But.....my friend Felicia emailed me and asked me to be part of the Artz de Scrap Design Team...I was thrilled!! I love altering things and this blog is all about altering!

Right now Art de Scrap is hosting the Altered Lunchbox Challenge Here!! Here is my altered lunchbox! I used Gecko Galz papers; ephemera and buttons with Ranger alcohol inks in various colors.



Hope you'll join us for this challenge! Happy creating~!
