Art and Soul Project

I am super excited to share this project with you! 

Last week I blogged about my new Creativity Planner.  This is the project I created that reflects my Dream for 2016.  My dream is based on one of my favorite quotes about creating.

Her heart said, "It's time to create."

Her soul overheard and said,

"It's about time!"

I bought this collage picture frame over a year ago with intentions of using it to display projects I created. The current Anything Goes challenge at Aud Sentiments gave me the opportunity to finally use this frame.  Each opening allows for a 5X7 picture so I decided to make 9 projects with quotes and Bible verses that reflect my dream for the year.

What project would you create to reflect your dreams for 2016? I would love to see how your dreams are reflected in your art.  The Anything Goes challenge at Aud Sentiments runs from Jan 21-Feb 2.  That's plenty of time to create a project to share.

Tis The Season To Be Fabulous

I decided to use some nontraditional colors for this Christmas card.  It's always fun to create a Christmas card using other colors and patterns.  This is my DT card for the current challenge at Aud Sentiments.  This week we are sponsored by Lacy Sunshine Stamps and the theme is Anything Goes with a Sentiment.

I colored her with copics and then used the old rag technique for the fur trim on her hat

Baby Ellie Jane

I made this card for my niece who just had a baby girl.  This is one of my favorite images from Mo's Digital Pencil (let's be honest, all her images are my favorites) 

This is also for the current Anything Goes plus a Sentiment challenge at Aud Sentiments.

 I made an easel card but really wanted my sentiment to stand out so I added a place for us to write a message on the back side of the card (actually the bottom)

If I Had A Flower

I tried a different fold for this card.  I love how simple, yet fun it is.  It also gives me lots of space inside if I want to either write my own  message on the middle part are decorate it with further embellishments.  As you can see, I left the middle fairly free of embellishments so I can decide later what I want to do.  I may even just attach a gift card to the middle section.

This card is for the challenge at Aud Sentiments.  The theme is "Things with Wings"  You can create any type of project you want as long as you include something with wings...will it be birds and butterflies like me or a fairy, airplane or bugs.  Can't wait to see what you create.  You can enter here. Our sponsor for this challenge is the fabulous

Blue Christmas Card

The challenge this week at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown is to use shades of blue.  It's bitter cold here so I decided to make a wintery Christmas card.  I reached deep in to my craft supply stash and found the Cray Pas (oil pastels) that I have had since college.  I used a mixture of two shades of blue to make the background around the image.  I left it kind of streaky but gives it a blustery winter look.  In order to do the background, I printed out a duplicate image and bubble cut around it to create a mask.  I then applied a good layer of the blue around the edge of the masked image.  I used a tissue and then rubbed the oil pastels outward. A little bit of white embossing enamel completed the wintery look for the image.

Here is the inside of the card:
