Welcome!

This is my place to share my creative bits and pieces. My art has no rules, no limits and absolutely no order. My projects change with my moods but for the last few years, my main focus has been paper art. Cards, collage, mixed media and as many techniques as I can get to. My inspiration comes from everywhere.

I hope you enjoy your visit.

BABY WIPE SWIPE & A WIN!

So messy but so fun and easy to do- that's Baby Wipe Swipe.
On glossy card stock, drag a baby wipe that has been folded  and had drops of dye ink applied to an edge. Continue swiping the baby wipe across until all the surface has been coloured. Once the swiping is done, you can pounce the wadded up baby wipe onto more glossy card stock. Pounce on regular card stock too. Once the ink is used up, throw the baby wipe away or dry it out and cut it up for other art projects.
This card has a love theme because of the background stamp, French Script and the feature stamp
"love lives here". Beautifully done calligraphy made into a stamp. Can you say awesome!

And now to the win....

I recently left a comment on a blog that was participating in a blog hop (Blog Buzz) hosted by Quietfire Designs. My name was drawn and look at what I won! And not just me. There were eight other winners. Suzanne Cannon is the owner/artist and I've been a fan and customer to her online store for years.

This has been a complete thrill! The best part was already being familiar with the product and knowing I'd be getting fabulous stamps. Go see! Go now! Quietfire

Check out the blog too- great art and links. And don't forget the newsletter! :)

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you get some art time today.

CHALK 'EM UP!


Here are two cards that show how you can do anything with baby wipe and chalk card stock, that you could do with any other card stock. The top card shows clear emboss resist done on the flowers. The bottom card has been dry embossed, sanded and inked. There has to be a name for that- if you know it, let me know. :)
The chalk, when applied with a baby wipe, acts like a paint and is permanent once dry. This allows you to do any techniques you'd like without disturbing the chalk.

Break out you chalks and baby wipes and have some fun. No rules, just do it!
Have a great weekend!

BABY WIPES & CHALKS

There isn't  much that could be simpler than this technoque. Pick up some chalk on a baby wipe and rub it onto card stock. Let dry and then treat it as any design paper. This one has been stamped with Stazon ink, using Pocket Silhouettes stamp set.
Ten stampers did this technique last night and we had ten different but very nice results. You ROCK Stamp Club Ladies!
