My Journey Into Art

well if you’re me, it gets wasted on Facebook!!! LOL There is so much on there that you can just loose yourself in and that’s what I tend to do, stress free nonsense but I get nothing done!
Now having said that I actually have got some stuff dome since I last posted but I just [...]

3 of these were the cards I sent out for an exchange on one of my groups, the card with the bells on it is the one i did for my oldest son who wanted a card with jingle balls on it, the image I used is from Paper Imagery Designs, the tag with the [...]

my apologies for not being here as often as I would have liked over the Christmas holidays. I swamped myself doing extra stuff and the blog got set aside.
I now have the rest of the 12 Days of Christmas mingle ready if you’re interested in seeing it. But 1st, I found out that Joanne, the [...]

oh my, I’m taking so many pictures of these lovely gifties for the 12 Days of Christmas mingle, I’m having a hard time deciding what to edit to put on the blog. It’s a fun job but a little time consuming.
So here we have days 5 & 6. Day 5 is by the talented Linda [...]

of the 12 Days of Christmas mingle Day 3 was created by Judy and we all thought how cool was this gift! And we are told to make sure we use her in something and to let Judy see the resulting artwork. I don’t know if I CAN use her. She’s perfect as she is. [...]

I organized a mingle on the Byhandartist Yahoo group this year for the 12 Days of Christmas, takin over from Pat G. who didn’t have the time or energy to do it this year. I was happy to take it over, it’s so fun!
We had sign-ups for 13 people, myself and 12 others, to make [...]

is the theme on GA this week brought to us by the very talented Sandra Shoen. You should see her arch, it is stunning!!
I wish I could get myself together so I can get one of these done and up on the 1st day. But right now, I’m trying to get Christmas cards done and [...]

is the theme on GA this week thanks to Kersten. This what I came up with. The snow flakes are punched out of a fairly heavy piece of cardstock that had been stamped in silver with a snowflake stamp. And the cotours of the snow were roughly highlighted with the same silver ink.

this is the arch I did for Nancy’s Yuletide arch contest on GA for the chance to win one of her marvelous stamp sheets, Yuletide Blessings, a sheet I really love but I just can’t get right now. I’d love to win it but all the entries in the contest are abolutely gorgeous! Good luck [...]

Christmas cards I made for a commission! The stamps are a cube from Stampendous and while I was doing the stamping and embossing etc…. I thought they were all square. NOT!! The holly image is off square so in order for it too look O.K., I had to turn it on a peak. Easy, simple, [...]

I just joined a great new (to me) yahoo group for the Paper Imagery Designs site. Already it’s a ton of fun with lots of perks and great ladies to boot. I joined because i needed to be stimulated with great challenges and I had just won 6 of their wonderful collage sheets in a [...]

The cards for the swap showed up today. But as I slowly panicked this was the replacement I made for the originals. Now I’ll use them for Christmas cards!! The ribbons on the side are a silver layered over a gold. Neither shows well. The green frame is so the white base card doesn’t disappear. [...]
