It's been a long time.

Once I joined paperfollies it seemed time on the blog got put aside.  I was too busy creating things.  One of the challenges was to make a paper bag book.  I had never heard of one but once I got started I was hooked.  I liked the first one so much I kept it and made another one for the challenge.  Here are some pictures:

I decided to keep swapped items from paperfollies in the first one.  It's great for storing ATC's, Twinchies, 4x4's, etc.

This is the second one I made.  The theme was nature so I filled it with pictures and quotes about nature.  I left a few blank spots, too, so the owner can add some of his/her own.

That's all for today.  I'm going away for 10 days so it will be a while until I blog some more.  Until then,  enjoy creating.

New projects for Paperfollies

I've joined the Yahoo group, Paperfollies, and I've been very busy.  They do a variety of very clever projects in the same styles used on inchies:  ATC's, cards, altered art, etc.  Here are some of my recent masterpieces.



House - 5x7 - Paperfollies project May 2011

This house was a lot of fun to do.  I created a "wordle" on line related to the types of art I do.  My face is peeking through the window and my cat is below it, in the corner.  The decorative circle is a painted button.

This project, called Foil Mail, was fun, too.  I hadn't seen this technique in a long time.


I don't usually make cards so it was a nice change to give it a try.

For the mosaic challenge I tried to use a technique called faux-mosaic that I learned about on-line.  It didn't come out like the example but I like the look.  It reminds me of mosaics found at ancient sites, like Pompeii.

And last, but not least, the ATC's - a pair of Graffitti and a pair of Zetti style.

I HAVE been busy --- HAVING FUN!
