Missing You

Monday is here, and so is another Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, where I'm in the designer spotlight this month! This week, the theme is Tag It. For my project, I made this mixed media tag - I usually recycle coupons and packaging for tags, and used a coupon this time. I adhered an initial… Continue reading Missing You

A Birthday Throwback

I was thinking of writing about the latest birthday card that I made for my sister, when I realized I still haven't talked about the previous one! It's been in my scans since forever, and I don't ever seem to process and publish it. So here I am finally, with a much-delayed post. 🙂 I… Continue reading A Birthday Throwback

Success / Failure

Here's a recent art journal page of mine - This page had some remnants of previous gel plate play--there were metallic acrylics that had been printed through a stencil, as well as regular acrylics with texture from a corrugated cardboard piece. (I'm trying to use up and finish the blue in my acrylic stash since… Continue reading Success / Failure

Relax

Here's a recent art journal page that I made - Does it look like this page is made on a black card-stock page? Well, it probably doesn't, but I assure you it is! As usual, I got carried away using this and that, and I had to add back some of the black. 🙂 Well,… Continue reading Relax

What You Do…

Here's a recent art journal page of mine - As I sometimes do, I started out this page with a ghost print from a previous gel-printing session. A lot of my ghost prints do not turn out well, and this was one of them. But that's no problem, since I usually just add other elements… Continue reading What You Do…

100 Days of ATCs (2023) – 9

To bring my 100 Day Project for this year to a closure, I made an album / book to store and peruse all of the 100 ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) that I created! I made a double-fold cover for this album. I've not tried such a cover before, but my earlier bookbinding experience helped here… Continue reading 100 Days of ATCs (2023) – 9

100 Days of ATCs (2023) – 8

At long last, here's my final batch of ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) from my 100 Day Project this year. My goal had been to work on ATCs for 100 days, which meant the total ATC count could be less than 100 if I wasn't up to making an entire ATC on a given day. So… Continue reading 100 Days of ATCs (2023) – 8

100 Days of ATCs (2023) – 7

Here's another bunch of ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) from my still-ongoing 100 Day Project this year. This is the penultimate batch, and there's only a few more ATCs to go, woot! I made another gel-printed background base in the middle of this batch, which gave me an extra 10 partially-prepped ATCs for this project. I… Continue reading 100 Days of ATCs (2023) – 7
