A Tiny Craft (ATC) Challenge Blog - Snarky

Good Morning all! I am thrilled to announce that Donna and the gals have invited me to be on the design team at

 A Tiny Craft (ATC) Challenge Blog!  

I am so excited! I love these gals, and I love making ATC's! And more important, the first challenge I have to do is snarky! 

Right up my alley! LOL!.

I made 2 ATC's today for you, using stencil butters, stencils, photo, thread and a couple of Tim Holtz snarky sayings!

I do hope you will stop by and check out what my team mates have done to inspire you! 

Stay creative, and stay snarky!

More Than Words - "Playlist" and Ephemera

 Good Morning all and Happy September!  

Today at  More Than Words, we have a brand new challenge up for the month of September

You are to use the word "Playlist" on your project and use ephemera as well!

I had fun with this art journal spread! I used some tissue paper for the background, added some white gesso wash over this. I used a new stencil and turquoise acrylic paint to add some colour. I added some ephemera I have had in my stash for forever, my little singing girl, and my sentiment... which describes my current playlist! LOL!. 

I do hope you check out what my teammates have done and share your projects with us on our blog, FB page or Instagram!

Have fun creating your playlist this month!

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers - #216- "O is for Old"

 Hi there snarky friends! It's been a while since I did an art challenge 

and I just couldn't resist the one at

 Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers ... 

"O is for Old"

I'm old, my products are old, so I just had to do this art journal page for this challenge!

I used an old gelli print for the background, stamped some swirls with an old stamp and heat embossed these with old black embossing powder. I then used an old stamp for some background stamping, my old ladies, and my old washi tape! The only thing that wasn't new was the computer paper I used to print off my quote! 

Thanks for the great challenge my snarky Sistahs! 

((HUGS))

Try it on Tuesday - Summer Blooms

 Hi there! Today at Try it on Tuesday, 

we have a new challenge up for the next 2 weeks... 

"Summer Blooms"

I made an art journal collage using some printed words for the background, with a wash of purples and pinks for the background. The bottom part is a piece of scrap paper that I have had for ages and was just waiting for the perfect opportunity to use it.  I used acrylic paints and PITT pens to do the flowers and leaves. Happy Summer Blooms!

I do hope you will check out what my teamies have made for this awesome challenge!

Happy Summer Blooms!
