Post Valentines Floundering.....

(tee hee)

Hi Everyone, it's been a little

while since you've heard from 

me, and here's hoping you all

had a Lovely Valentines Day!

I've been so busy with not

just every day stuff, but 

also diving back into some

unfinished projects all in

preparation for the coming

Season of Workshops

that I'm hoping to be taking.

Artful Gatherings

is one of the Groups

that I can't wait to get

into the classes with!

They have a Fabulous Line Up

of Teachers this 2013 Year

with a Wonderful Variety

of Workshops to chose from!

Registration is Open!!!

So get on over there and check out

all the Fabulous Artist Teachers 

 and their

Workshops!!!

But in the meantime,

Another Project I'm trying to get

finished up at the moment is 

a Wonderful Playing Card 

Inspiration Swap at

In Search of Dessert

Jessica Brogan

is Hosting this Wonderful

Altered Playing Card Swap

and the Deadline has been

extended to March 29th,

so you do still have time to

stop by her blog (link attached)

to Enter! 

Keep in mind, that's 52 Playing Cards

to alter and get mailed so get going! 

LOL!

Here's the beginning of the cards

I've made

I got a little carried away, as these

are just the backgrounds! LOL!

I tore out pages from a soft

covered Moleskin Journal,

( believe me I thought long and

hard about doing it! GRIN)

Then using Dyan Reaveley's 

Fabulous Dylusions Ink Sprays

I sprayed the pages with a variety

of the wonderful colours Dyan has.

( And she's just released more

Fabulous Colours!!!)

From that point when the pages were

dry, I used one of my Favourite 

Stencils, and Mr. Tim's

Distress Stains

(All the new Fabulous Colours

from his Seasonal Series!)

Which I am so grateful to have

them all Thanks to a Wonderful

Girlie who treated me for

my Birthday and Christmas!

(You sweet Girlie 

Melissa Samuels!! GRIN)

Next I glued, and trimmed the

Moleskin pages to the Playing Cards.

Now that I have the 52 Playing Cards

Backs and Fronts done...I'll be

scrambling to get them done and

mailed! LOL!!

And then there are also all the 

Dollie's I've been making recently,

and only 1 left in my Etsy Shop!

I've been so honoured to have

sold them all and I'm loving 

that each Dollie's New Owner

are sending pictures of them 

hanging in their New Homes

Globally!! What Fun!!!!

And of course there's always

time to grab 

for a bit of journaling....

Oh man! Have I had fun with this

Journaling spread!

Using this Lovely Little Girl 

as my Muse from the Wonderful

Tumblefish Graphics at

DeviantScrap.com

And these Fabulous Lazier Cut-Out

Butterflies from the Wonderful

Retro Cafe Art Gallery!!

And adding tons of Glitter

and Colour and pen work and

moulding paste and stencils...

Walla!

So now you've seen just a few

reasons of why I've been 

late getting a Blog Post up

and running.....I think

they're pretty good excuses! HA!!!!

Enjoy!!!

(and see you soon:)
