Almost ready for my Summer Art Retreat

I go on an annual Summer Art Retreat with a great group of ladies from an online group I belong to ... this is our 8th year of meeting and having fun ...... This year we each have done our own Beach Junk Journal and during the retreat 3 people will work in our books and I will finish mine .... I will post what the Junk Journal turns out to be after the retreat and share other photo's as well later ...... hope you enjoy, it's been a long dry art spell for me ........

I spent a few hours

making more cards ... I know seems like that about all I do these days ... maybe there will be something bigger on the way .... I hope .... click to enlarge

Circus mini book with Graphic 45 paper

My granddaughter is 2 1/2 and it was her first Circus so of course I had to make a book just for the occasion ... enjoy

Time for the BIG reveal ....

today my new online Altered Arts Workshops site went live ... just click http://abonlineclasses.blogspot.com ... under the tab "Lite Workshops" you will find "RAKS/Cards" and there you will find the tutorial on how to make my latest cardstock flower ... please have a look around and let me know what you think ... I will be adding many more workshops but they will take a little time to get them done and up and running ... so far there are 4 workshops for you to have fun with .... thanks Linda

Halloween is just around the corner

My arm/wrist/hand is getting much better and in a month I should be able to really start arting again ... but since I haven't been able to do anything for so long I thought I would share photo's of my little Halloween project that got canceled due to health reasons with you ...

Circus Box

At the retreat I was also able to make the box for my Circus Book from a swap that took place last year ...... I also decided to make some ATC size clown cabinet cards and a holder to go into the box also ....... click to enlarge

Girls Night Out

Ok that is the lottery theme and I think having a Girl's Night Out makes me feel like I am being treated like a Queen ... oh yes the base of this piece is the front hard cover of a Readers Digest book .... click to enlarge
