Catching with Mondays


I love doing these Gothic Arches. Fall is my favourite season when it comes to colour. I think I like the way this one came together. I've been thinking about it all weekend. I never get much art done on the weekend, but it's always on my mind. I didn't really get much done all last week either. I was in kind of a funk last week. I hope to be more creative this week.

Gift from Pam B

Here is a lovely gift I received from Pam Barnes. I love all the piercing on the card and the medallion on the card and atc. Makes it look like the lady has a Indian Headdress. The colours are great in the background. Thank you so much Pam.

Autumn Leaves


I just love fall or autumn especially the trees changing colours. Here in Ontario we have such beautiful colourful maples and other trees and shrubs. So here is a couple of atcs I worked on last night. They are simple in style but I think they make the point.

It's a banner day




The two atcs are school days. Times we have long forgotten is you are as old as I am. lol.
Today was a day of interruptions...if it wasn't the phone it was the doorbell, but I finally was able to get my atcs and banner done. I'm having fun with the pretty lady on this collage sheet from RetroCafe.

Catch Up Monday


My first domino experience. I used Tim Holtz alcohol inks and then stamped a clown head. Added a little clock, beads, a pin back and voila. This is for an exchange so I hope my partner likes it.
I haven't done too much in the last week, so this week is catch up week. There are several swaps I need to finish and get in the mail, so I hope I make the deadline. I will try to post more often this week. I've also started walking. Boy am I out of shape. I can only go around a short blog and my chins are screaming, my heart is pounding...but I must press on. It's good for me right?

And so it's Friday again

Another week has flown by. Looks like I'm into arches these days. I just love this new collage sheet from Retro Cafe. Isn't she pretty? I can do alot with this image. I'm seeing dolls in the near future. So here she is bigger than life standing tall. I'm calling her Lady of the Night.

All About Arches


Thought I would play with arches today. All the stores are showing fall now and the chilly weather make you feel like autumn is around the corner. Since I'm in a Harvest Moon swap, I played today with autumn colours and a little Halloween thrown in.

I'm still here...



Just a couple of things I created last week. I haven't been doing much these last couple of weeks and I feel stale. Managing a yahoogroup takes a lot of time, but it's worth it.
The first one is I Love Artchix atc. It's done on painted corragated cardboard.
The 4x4 is also painted corrigated cardboard. It's called Handmade with a twig from the garden. I think the poor bird needs feet. whoops...well he is up in the air. lol
