Fall tag

It's pretty hard to believe that it's already Thanksgiving week.

I have been a working fool, and have not had much time to share any creations or artwork.

However, I did teach my monthly 12 tags of 2015 class, and this was my take on Tim's tag!

I used an assortment of distress products to create the background, and do the stamping.

For the leaf I used my watercolor pencils to color it's a bright autumn orange. 

A quick addition of some vintage buttons and the die cut "Discover"

to finish off this fun and beautiful tag.  

I hope you all are having a wonderful fall, and have an amazing Thanksgiving.

I will be working, and then having dinner with my hubby.

I may do a tiny bit of shopping after that.

Fall leaves

Zentangles!

Who loves them like I love them??

Let me see your hands raised up high!

Do you love to color them, and even draw them?

Well maybe not draw them so much as color them!

Then these stamps from just for fun stamps are for you! 

See all those fabulous nooks and crannies?

See all the places to put different colors and goodness?

Yep, me too,

and plus since we don't really get falling fall leaves here in southern Arizona,

I have to sometimes live vicariously through my art!

I see falling leaves in my card, and that makes me happy!

How about you, are you getting falling leaves? 

Or have you moved on to winter and snow?

Happy Fall and Thanksgiving to you all out there! 

Windows into my art journal

I had the distinct pleasure of getting to attend another of Dina Wakley's a few month ago.

I just love her style, 

and every class has been fun and different. 

For this class we created these pages with little windows to look thru to the opposing page.

And the opposite side!

And here is the page wide open

And here are the flowers close up! 

What an amazing idea! to put the windows on the pages,

I think I'd like to try this again and do "Window's to my Soul"

Perhaps in the future you will see this from me! 

Have a blessed week!

Harvest

Good morning all!

Today I have a quick post sharing this fun card I made using my new 

Just For Fun Stamps. 

I repeated the image three times on this stamp,

I just love the golds and browns, it just screams fall and harvest to me!

I love that these new stamps lend themselves so well to repetitive stamping.

And these cattails remind me so very much of my childhood.

 We had a creek that ran by our house (mason creek) and there were always cattails growing along it's banks in the spring, summer and fall.  In the winter of course there wasn't much growing because of the cold and snow.  

I do hope that you are having a wonderful fall, and as that turns into winter that you all are staying safe and warm!
