Journal Challenge part 2

 Hello, again.  This entry will have the remaining six pages of the week long art journal challenge led by Marjie Kemper.  It was a fun experience.  I learned some new techniques; I found materials in my stash I'd forgotten I had; a few times I had to improvise which was a great boost to my creativity (and fun, too).  I'm sorry it's over but I have these great completed pages to inspire me.

As you can see there was a variety of approaches used for each of the 5 x 7 pages.  I hope you enjoy.

Have a great day!

I'm in a great journal challenge!

 Hi!

I'm glad to be back,  I had hoped to post more often.  I want to share about the fun challenge I'm in.

Marjie Kemper has created a Facebook group for a 5 day journal challenge.  Each day has a 1 hr. video and members can create with Marjie in real time or do the work later.  Over 1000 people from all over the world have joined.  Marjie is a great instructor and emphasizes flexibility and using personal style in each project.

Here are the pages I've created as of day 3.

I've never been in a challenge like this before and I am greatly enjoying it.

Stay well.  Stay hopeful.

Best Wishes,

Rae Ann

Appreciating Nurses

About a month ago a neighbor asked me to make a card for a family member who was a nurse.  She wanted it for Nurses' Day.  I had fun designing a card that used Cricut's  Everyday Paper Dolls, (and the mask came from Teddy Bear Parade at 1/2" smaller size than the dolls).  The stethoscope and med bag came from the doctor page.

After that I decided to make a thank-you card for the staff at my infusion center.

During these difficult times these modern day heroes deserve all the thanks we can give.
Have a great day! Stay safe!  Follow recommendations so this pandemic can be brought to an end.

Journal Page Quilt Style

Hello.  Today I'm sharing a spread I finished yesterday.  The background has been done for a while.  Now, I find the perfect quote to finish it.

Have a great day.
Stay safe.

Some Birthday Box Cards

Wow!  It's been a long time again.  I haven't done any posting (obviously) but I have been busy making use of the time I have during this "stay-cation.".  I promised myself that I will do 2 posts each week, one for cards and one with my art journaling.
Here's my first set:

A friend asked me to make a number of cards that she could give her sister as a gift.  I had fun coming up with different ideas.
All of the cards are a mix of stamps, die cuts, and Cricut cuts.
I hope you like them; I'll be back with more soon.

Have a great day! Stay safe.  Please wear masks and maintain distance until this pandemic is under control.

Card play continued

Here are a few more cards that I've made in the last few weeks.  It's been good to get back to creative fun.

Thanks for stopping by.

I'm Baaaack!

Wow, it's been a year.  The chemo's done; I on a pill.  In many ways I'm feeling better and one of them is wanting to be creative again.

There was an Heirloom Productions Rubber Stamp and Scrapbook Show recently.  I went and really got a boost.  I never used die cuts before and rarely used my embossing folders so that's what I've been playing with.  I don't have a lot of space so making cards has been ideal.  I'll get to bigger (and messier) projects as I get better and better.  Here are some of the cards I made recently: (8 pictures)

I have some others I need to photograph so you'll see more of me soon.

Have a great day!
