Day 5 - Daily Challenge

Here is another big card for work. The deer and trees are cut with Silhouette.  The words are from a Stampin Up die that I trim. It is a cake die for doing pop up cards but it is a nice size for these big cards so I have used it several times.  The Silhouette files work good here because I can size them for the big cards.

Day 4 - Daily Chalenge

Today, I am sharing  a photo again. I love the world around me. There is so much beauty.  This is a lighthouse near Silver Lake Michigan. I took the picture with my phone.  You would never know it was horribly windy this day for the serenity of the pictures

Day 3 - Daily Challenge

I am doing large birthday cards for work.  We have a team of 40 people and so there has to be lots of room for signatures and messages.  It is a challenge to do that.  I usually do 4.25 by 5.5 inch cards which is half a sheet of card stock folded in half.  For these, the card is 5.5 by 8.5.  The stamp here is by Taylored Artwork.

Day 2 - Posting challenge

For Easter, I made all kinds of bunny themed containers.  I made 40 bunny butt baskets for work.  Then there was 8 bunny face baskets and 8 bunny faces on juice boxes fro church classes.  All the punches were Stampin up punches.  Cheeks were a 1 inch punch. Eyes were 3/4 and 1/2 inch punches. Nose is a mini heart. Ears were oval punches.  The basket is the fry box die. The bunny butt baskets have an oval punch used to create a handle.

Thirty day creative challenge - Day one

I have lots of projects I have done over the last year and I haven't shared. I have just challenged myself to post something everyday for 30 days. It will mostly be things I don't remember all the details of but at least it will be shared.   Today, I will share some photography. I am have obsessed with mushrooms this year.  All these pictures were taken with my phone.  Most of them were taken around my family cottages near Hart Michigan.

Mermaid

I did another lesson for my Radiant II class.  My art needs work but I was happy with some of the things happening here. I will be trying to draw and paint more mermaids!  You looks a lot in my photos because I love metallic and shimmer. You miss that in the photos.

Effy's "I am the storm" lesson

Here is my newest art journal lesson from Effy Wild's Radiant II class. Some of these lessons are really a challenge. I started this one and then covered it up ...started again. Plus, I was trying for someone who looked kind of dark. Obviously, she isn't dark but she is a pretty woman with intriguing eyes. I wonder what she is thinking. :)

Have a creative day!!
