Spring seems to have finally arrived for most everyone.  YIPPEE! I have dimensional ATC's for your viewing today. I do like using up older papers for sweet little ATC's. I die cut the flowers on a Cricut, I cut the leaves from one of our papers, used another paper as my background.   I then used a pentel pen to doodle around the flowers and leaves.  I also like to corner round most things, it echoes the rounded flowers. A bit more of the same but with a different background paper.  Less doodling due to the busy background.   Just paper, scissors and glue and VOILA! I also want to share some of our blooms around the house.    These grace our front and backyards and make me so very happy due to the bright colors.  The birds, bees, and butterflies like them too.        The RED Hibiscus is a full 9 inches across! Here's to Happy days of Spring and summer. T...

These shots are from my work this week. But read on to see my ARTSY friends at play.                                              I began with the darling  Foundations Decor WITCHES BOOT.  I painted it with DIXIE BELLE Paints for my base coat.    Then I added Art Anthology Sorbet in purple for subtle sparkle and texture.  I added a die cut from our Halloween papers...'Toil and Trouble'.   The buckle was coated with Art Anthology Sorbet and while wet I sprinkled purple mica chips for a bit of bling.  The piece of orange ribbon was added to make the buckle POP.   I played with various ribbons and lace for the photo stem.   My cigar box was covered in our Halloween papers and our Halloween 6x6 Die Cut papers.     I chopped up a plastic skeleton and applied him to the top of the box. ...
