Filling Up with Hope

I am in the middle of three projects for the Digital Scrapbooking Magazine and another special project. It is not always easy for me to stay focused when it comes to art. I can’t help myself. One idea flows into another.
I found this little book (and it is tiny) in my basket of mini books [...]

What is a Morgue File and Why You Should Start One

Draw Something

Love Slam

I am having a love moment. Blame it on BlogHer and all the wonderful people I met while I was there.

I love texture and layers. For this card, I painted my background quickly…going with a fire pallette. I am a passionate person, so this was fitting. After the paint dried, I used a few stamps [...]

Oh, God, I love Art!

Seriously, I do love art. I love drawing. I love creativity. I love it. I found this site yesterday, Daily Monster. It makes me want to draw monsters. I don’t draw monsters, but after seeing Stefan’s monsters, I want to draw monsters. I just had to add this to my growing list of Shut Your [...]
