The new Take Ten is out and I was so inspired! There was an article about making little cards to give to people as gifts. Using only scraps, I was able to make about ten last night.
She had them attached to clothespins or magnets.But I’m not sure what I’ll do with them at this point.
Right now they sort of look like ATC’s.
It was so nice to make things for no purpose. Quite pleasant, especially when combined with great music.
I was participating in Tara Anderson’s blog party yesterday. She is so stinking amazing. I love her work. One of her challenges was to make mini art. I thought this would be a good time to continue my kitchen collages.
I dug out my vintage rick rack and old pattern paper. Obviously, I was really inspired by some of her recent work. I love making small stuff!
I have been wanting to participate in Scrapmojo’s challenges for a long time. I love the group’s artistry in scrapbooking. This challenge really hit home for me. It was about the economy and how it’s affected you. Well, this summer has been really bad. Both James and I work in the performing arts, and you can imagine how badly that area has tanked. We’ve barely been able to find work. My journaling is about how I need to keep faith in us and know that there’s got to be a light at the end of the tunnel. My squares are in the photos and papers, and my recycled item is the bubble wrap I used.
And I’ve decided to enter this DT call. I do love me a mini album. These are the three I’m submitting:
This is sort of a look book. I just played with colors and techniques and I like to go back to it to get some inspiration.
And the other two are older, but they are my favorites. This one and this one. Wish me luck!
I’m going to have to stop now, considering this took about two hours to do – my laptop is dying a slow and painful death!
Peace out!
So I’m working on a scrapbook for James. Just a fun little book with pictures of cool audio gear that he will like. He’s been feeling a little down lately, so I thought this would cheer him up. There aren’t a lot of cool photos of preamps and monitors and the like, but this is what I have so far.
1. JBL in detail., 2. Fender amp, 3. Fender Amp, 4. XLR, 5. Control Room Monitor EQ’s, 6. Homage 2 Analog, 7. Audio Console, 8. Console, 9. #136 Mic check, 10. Sennheiser headphone!
Been a busy little bee lately. Hasn’t been much work, so I’ve decided to occupy my time at the sewing machine. Made a few things, pictures to come later.
This layout came about during a break. It’s been so hot. Hard to concentrate when you are sweating in your apartment.
And here is a picture too cute not to post. My dear sweet Apollo. Loves to get his picture taken.
And in other news, I turned 30 not too long ago. Here is a pic from my picnic!
I really have missed blogging. But my schedule during the last semester, and (honestly) facebook, has prevented me from taking the time. It always seemed like such a hassle to upload photos, edit, them upload them here. But I would like to start up again. Really. I haven’t been blogging but I’ve certainly still been crafting.
These three layouts above I made for my friend Heathyr who moved away (wah!) to Kansas of all places. Don’t know when I will see her again. Been sewing too. More pictures of that to come soon.
I’ve missed all my blog friends. I promise to come round again real soon!!!
more layouts, if there’s anyone out there that reads this.
my nephew
husband
these were some collages I made, inspired from an article in an old Somerset Sew I came across. I’m going to make a big collection of them and hang them in the kitchen.
I’ve been soooo busy lately. Costuming play after play for school. Working, filling up on my Joss Whedon quotient. Has anyone been watching Dollhouse? It’s pretty good right??
some layouts I finished a while ago. I don’t know that I’m really happy with any of them. the lighting is bad and the cardboard I use to support them when taking pictures is getting warped so all the layouts looked bowed. sigh
this one doesn’t seem finished, does it? I wasn’t feeling it any longer so I just stopped.
he is just too cute! too bad this layout is so square and boring
This is of my friend’s little doggie, Pixie. She’s so hyper. I get lazy when it comes to unfinished chipboard. Unfinished = done.
Me and my girlfriends at Knott’s Berry Farm. We were chaperone’s for Glenda’s students. I thought that was pretty funny. Me, a chaperone?
My little niece, trying on my sunglasses.
And then, I pulled out an old copy of Somerset Sew and was so inspired!
my wire work needs a little help, but I was really pleased. I think I’m going to give this spool to a friend.
phew! it feels good to post again. I’ve missed you little bloggy!
Been meaning to post, but we lost internet and phone lines due to the rain. The one downside to this wonderful weather! It’s dark and cold, the sky is a beautiful color of blue… I love it. I can finally use these babies
I’ve finally gotten back to the scrapbooking. Now that the play I was designing is over, I can focus on other things. And I took advantage of 30 free prints at snapfish, and now I have a ton of pictures to choose from, which makes things so much easier.
This is James, a good friend of mine’s first son. He is so adorable. And so laid back. I don’t think he cried once while we visited.
James and I making silly faces, while my nephew took photos. I can’t remember what we were doing – acting like dinosaurs??
Here’s a layout I did for Inspired Blueprint. It was fun and easy. It’s very orange, I know…
