Boy, do I have some catching up to do!

First, Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends and family. I have so much to be thankful for!

Second, even though I haven't posted in a while I have been super busy creating. Here are just a few pieces....

These are "Fat Book" pages I am doing for my ArtChix-Sister Site Yahoo group. We have a new color(s) each month. Super fun and great for stretching my creative muscles.

Above are my Halloween Houses for a swap we did at ArtChix-Sister Site Yahoo Group. It was really fun getting to play with all my witchy ephemera and images.

 These are the fronts and backs of some ATC ornaments I made.

These are pieces I did for a college studio drawing class.

Okay, off to enjoy my vacay at the beach. See you next week.

Color Throwdown #103

This week's Color Throwdown challenge is to use the colors Certainly Celery (pale green), Red Riding Hood (red), and River Rock (tan). When I first saw the colors I immediately thought about Christmas. However, it is a little to early in the year for me to start making Holiday cards so I opted for gift tags. Three to be exact.

As you can see my style leans more towards the sophisticated then the traditional holiday style. I am really pleased how they came out and think the receivers (whoever they end up being) could use them as ornaments next year.
