Catching Up

It's been awhile since I posted.  We've been remodeling our old house, and I've been away helping with our new granddaughter.  

Althouigh I haven't entered challenges to post until now, I did enter a couple of local art shows.  I won 2nd place at our local Old Settlers Art Show in the 2-D category.  This is a paper collage and acrylic paint piece entitled Lost Love.  I also had entered it and was accepted in a juried art show whose theme was Out on a Limb.  My theme is Cio-Cio San's unrequited love for Lt. Pinkerton in the Pucini opera, Madama Butterfly.  She goes out on a limb waiting for his return, only to find he rejects her.  




I finally had time to make some cards for family birthdays and would like to submit them for on-line challenges.  I tried out some new products.


I made my first slider card.  I used Taylored Expressions On the right Track-Build a Scene die for the slider. The town is a digi from Vera Lane Studio which I printed onto a card.  The girl is a digi from Pixel Scrapper which I fussy cut and put on pennies for my slider.  We gave our granddaughter a new bike for her birthday.  I thought this was the perfect card to go with it.

Entering the following challenges:

Tuesday Throwdown #438 My Grafico-Color Inspiration #13

OUTLAWZ  




For this card, it was the first time I used my Ranger Distress Oxide Inks (I know--I'm a bit behind the times.)  I also used my new Tri-Blend by Spectrum Noir to color my hero, a rubber stamp from Viva Las Vegas Stamps. Words are computer generated and outlined with pen.

Entering the following challenges:

If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #123 #4

The Male Room #117 Our 6th Birthday #48

sitewide#107
