Pop Art

Hey everyone!  Hope you're having a restful and fun Sunday.  I just wanted to pop in and show you the latest Create Outside the Box Challenge at ScrapbookGraphics.  I had so much fun creating this inspiration page:

I used Comic Book Hero by Studio Digilicious -what an fun kit!  You can find the latest Create Outside the Box Challenge HERE.  Be sure to come join me for some 3-D creative fun. :)

Blending for Art's Sake

 

Happy Wednesday everyone!  I thought I'd bring you a sneak peek at an upcoming Scrap Orchard Challenge that incorporates one of my favorite digital design techniques - blending.  The challenge will be revealed this Friday, but here is a peek at my inspiration page:

I have to say, this is one of a recent faves!  So, make sure to join me in the Challenge Forum on Friday to see the full creative prompt.

If you are a lover of Subway Art, be sure to check out my post on Mari Koegelenberg's Blog about how to incorporate subway art design into your digital and hybrid projects.  Here is peek at an inspiration page I created with her new It's A Beautiful Life Kit:

 

 That's all for now - I hope everyone has an artful day!

iNSD Art

So - did everyone survive iNSD weekend?  I had a fabulous time checking in everywhere, and had time for some actual creating too!  Here are some of the highlights of the iNSD goodness that was on sale this weekend:

Time to settle in and get ready for a new week, with some new artsy goodness coming your way!

Grumpy Art

Happy May Day everyone!  Just popping in to share one of my favorite pages from last month.  This was a definite scrap therapy project, and I must say that creating it made be feel so much better.  Now, when I'm having a grumpy day I just look at it and can't help but smile. :)

I used Moody by Studio Blagovesta at ScrapbookGraphics.  You should definitely check it out if you're ever in need of some grumpy scrap therapy!

I'll be back tomorrow with some amazing Scrap Orchard iNSD goodness . . .

The Art of Reconnecting . . .

Yes, I know it's been quite a while since I last posted - but I'm back and ready to go (with a blog face lift too)!  For those of you who aren't aware, I'm designing Word Art for Scrap Orchard's monthly challenge.  I've been doing this for over a year now and I'm really loving it.

Here is the April 2013 freebie - if you haven't grabbed it yet.

 

 You can grab it HERE in the Word Art Challenge post.

 

This is the inspiration page I created (click HERE for the full gallery credits):

 



A new Word Art freebie will be available on May 7 - so be sure to check it out in the Scrap Orchard May Challenges Forum.

With that I'm off to do some pre-iNSD creating, but I'll be back soon with lots of awesome previews for you! :)

The Art of Life

So . . . It's been a while since I've had time to post, but things should be settling down soon.  Don't you just hate it when real life interferes with your creative time?  I do!  The good news is that I will soon have a larger and much improved art studio in which to engage in my creative endeavours; the bad news is that I won't have it fully set up until August.  But, at least it's coming soon :)  I'll post some photos when I can.

In the meantime, I have some updates on my current creative teams.  In April, I joined the Crew at ScrapbookGraphics - how exciting is that?!?  I am still in awe of all the talent there - both the CT and designers - and am loving every second :)  I host a monthly challenge called Create Outside the Box - and I'd love it if you would come and join me!  I'll be posting the Inspiration LO's with links to the Challenge thread from here every month, or you can check it out in the Challenge Forum at SBG.  Here is June's inspiration page (the Challenge is to include an off the page extraction):

Ahhh, Starbucks (one of my favorite places to visit)!  There are some awesome Challenges coming up too, so be sure to check in at ScrapbookGraphics and join me :)
