Little Moments
I pin so many ideas that I want to try and
then never go back and do it.
I just keep pinning and pinning.....
So, I decided it was time to start going through
my own boards for inspiration instead of
just adding more.
Here is the pin that inspired me.

Making ATCs again
A few years ago I made a lot of ATCs, even traded them, because,
you know--they are Artist's Trading Cards.
The other day I felt the urge to make some.
Here are two sets I made at one sitting. Video below.

Tale of Two Cards
These happy little cards were created while we were camping.
I packed a tote of minimum, essential supplies and took over a corner half the RV table.
This first card was a series of boo boos and mishaps, hence the focal point and quote.
And those lumps are eggs not potatoes, lol.
This card behaved much better.

Summer and Sea
I seem to have been on a collage kick lately.
This page is entirely collage. I used some items I recently received in happy mail.
(Thanks, Ina) along with some things from my stash and others that I went on a hunt for.
This was a very fun page to do. It carried me to the beach for a few minutes.

What we look for
This page began while I was watching TV one night, nestled next to a stack of magazines. I had a color in mind; when I found just the shade I had in my head, I clipped it out, It became my inspiration piece that I measured everything else against. Several magazines later, I had a nice pile of golden clippings, everything from carrots and sweet potatoes to purses and beer.
Later I began assembling the collage. Some of the things became unrecognizable, but I knew where and what they were. That is how I came up with the quote for the page.
These colors are very pleasing to me.
See what you can see!

Play Out Loud & Own the Moment
This was my first time to video working on two pages at once.
I'm sure I've done it before, but never documented it.
I didn't know it was going to be two pages when I started.
I was simply playing with papers and paint.
When the background papers didn't seem to go together,
I decided to open the book and do two pages at the same time.
I used acrylic paints, spackling paste,
stamps, a 'found' stencil, brayer,
stabilo all pencil and water brush.
Since the background papers were so different, I decided to make
the pages as different as possible.
On this page I used Alex creamy crayons, Color Box chalk inks,
Zing embossing powder, Sharpie marker, harlequin stencil, stamps,
magazine image collage.
