ARTISTS IN BLOGLAND!

GREAT CHALLENGES!

It is so refreshing when there are a number of ways one can play a challenge.
This particular blog (along with others) has a few very neat options.
You must check it out!

Besides, who could resist the yummalicious color wheel rainbow.


CHALLENGE ONE


 CHALLENGE TWO

I've really been looking for a way to combine all my years of paper art - over 20 years now of scrapbooking - beginning with my now 27 year old, card making, stamping, traditional card making and now, mixed media.

This is one of my first attempts at using "everything" so to speak.  Opening every drawer, looking on every shelf and finding all those foreign items I haven't used in ages.  So here we have it - my best friends, who are my quilts - they age but I never lose their warmth and I hope they never feel they lose mine - my 3 cubs.

  2. Hi Samara
    Seems like you have thrown at this everything but the kitchen sink. I think it works so brilliantly. Love the colour palette and the wavy lines remind me of the deep blue sea. It was also probably very satisfying creating something and using up some of your older stuff you have had for ages.

    P.S, You asked me about subscription but you are already subscribed to my blog. In fact you subscribed on the 06/15/2012. This information is stored in Google feed burner which tells you which people subscribed to your blog and what date they started. (you are subscribed with "@bell.net e-mail" address.
    I have the subscription gadget on my blog at the top but it keeps disappearing so it is a matter of luck when it is available for someone to use.
