{ART} let it out

Feeling the creative need lately. Hope you are too.

creative roll

Just a few more post cards I made today for trades. I found a bunch of collage items that I have been holding onto, so it was fun to be able to use them to make a whole new piece of art.

Altered Postcards

I found a new art format that I am trying my hand at. These are altered postcards, 4X6 inches that I am hoping to trade and get some in return in the mail. Hope they make it through the mail system.

July Fourth Pics

Just some pics that represent July Fourth here in Orange. Snow cones, bubble blowing contests, jumpy slides, block parties, bike parades, BBQs all mean July to us.

Happy Fourth of July

Happy Fourth of July to everyone out there in blogland. I haven't uploaded my pics yet so here are some really cute vintage post cards that would be really cute in a project. I personally didn't do any July Fourth projects this year, but I can always get a head start on next year's decorations, right?

Scraps

This is a page for Maureen's scrapbook. I went by the Bee to say hi to her last week and I didn't have any supplies with me so she let me scrap a page for her while I hung out and chatted.


and these were for the colorful stylized portrait swap on Illustrated ATCs. I already mailed them. I haven't done much else lately, still recovering from the end of the all star softball season. Emma's team went to the quarter finals in the last tournament. It was a great season.
