Theme Thursday - Make an ATC

Here's an ATC I did for a swap at Altered Designs.  I wish I could remember from where I got my image of that little girl, but she's a bit serious, isn't she?  Thanks for taking a look!

Wednesday Stamper - Use At Least One Rubber Stamp

Finally, I'm able to share a piece I made using a tree rubber stamp.  I inked and smooshed my background and used Stickles on the tree.  Thanks for stopping by!

2x2 Moon Canvas

I'm still designing for Moonlight Journey and used their Butterfly Pendant sheet to create, not jewelry, but a mini canvas.  I painted it and then used a little piece of ephemera, some ribbon and glitter (of course!)  The original idea for the mini canvas comes from a piece in Mar-Apr Somerset Studio and a current swap going on in one of my art groups.  But this piece is not for the swap.  I saw the moon and butterflies and thought it was absolutely perfect for the mini canvas.   Hope you like it!

Take a Word - #33 Insects

Have managed to be late again...well, my excuse is I had a little hospital dalliance so my knee would bend.  In other words, the doctor cranked the heck out of it (while I was blissfully sedated) and now I can make a full rotation on the bike!  Yippeeee!  If I thought I wouldn't screw up the knee, I do think I'd do the happy dance!  Well enough of that!  Insects, eh?  I immediately thought of our stink bug invasion and shivered...little monsters have no predators here, they aren't cute like the little fellow on Miss Spider's Sunny Patch, they are noisy, clever little beasts that hide in any little crack or crevice.  So...if it's not a butterfly, I don't want to talk about it.  So guess what I made?  Right!  A butterfly!  I painted and spattered, did some faux encaustic, glued, cut and something else I can't remember right now...but here's my insect!

Take a Word #32 - Stars

Interesting challenge!  There's so many ways to showcase star(s).  I found an image of a little girl who is smiling to beat the band.  I imagine any parent would see her as their little star!  Thanks for stopping by!

Three Muses - Word

I've had some serious issues with Blogger, but it seems like everything is back on track (fingers crossed).  For this challenge I used a wooden tag, a Paper Whimsy lovely girl and a few other bits of ephemera.  Thanks for looking!
