I love houses, so I was really excited to see the In Our House challenge blog. This week’s challenge theme is night.
I used a Fleur des Lys stamp on the background, but you really can’t see much of it. The image is a packing tape transfer over a piece of vintage sheet music and […]
I decided to combine portrait practice and today’s Illustration Friday word. Wow, do I need more practice. Anyway, after ignoring the slightly blue and sort of blotchy girl, I was pretty happy. I used a stamp I carved and several foam stamps on the background. The saying says, “Nurture the seed of your creativity and […]
I have been longing to get back to doing challenges. Today, I broke down and did one even though I didn’t have the time. The Gothic Arch challenge was to make a garden fairy. Here is mine. Isn’t she a doll? Her wings are flower petals. The stamp is from one of those cheapo foam […]
This week, Step Outside Your Box Saturdays has a doodle challenge. It was based on Zentangles, which I’ve somehow completely missed. It is a very cool looking system. I will not buy it. I will not buy it. I will…what is that charge for Zentangles doing on my credit card?
Anyway, they have a few […]
Today’s challenge word is family. I think of home when I hear that word, so here’s my piece. Please note that I was able to coax this letter to show some green!

So, the word on my mind today is Sacrifice. A soldier […]
Eggs. They’re good to eat. They are a major part of Easter. They are a miracle. They’re a fragile protector of growing life. They’re eggs-traordinary. (Sorry. That was corny.) So, today’s challenge is an ode to the egg. If you make a piece of art, are moved to make a poem, or just want to […]
You know those scene stamps? The ones that have a few elements and a phrase on them? Well, I hardly ever use them because they’re basically coloring sheets. So, today’s challenge is to use just a part of one of those stamps to make a piece of art.

Today’s Skinny Saturday theme was sisters. The image is from Altered Abbey and the stamp in the background is a home decor foam stamp.

Today’s challenge at Gothic Arches was history. I didn’t plan to do it because I was short on time for the one I wanted to do, which would have involved digging out a photo of my great grandpa and a bridge he helped build. Then, I thought about trees and all the history they must […]
