Drawing, Photoshop and Mixed Media Free Courses

Hi all.  I have been inspired by amazing artists who draw, especially who draw little girls.  So I've been trying my hand at it.  I love the mix of drawing and other mediums like paint, paper, etc.  

Here are some of my first attempts.  

Pretty awful.  Much more practice needed.  LOL

This is a Save the Date Card for my niece's wedding I have been working on.

Have you seen these awesome learning opportunities? Of course I registered for the free course.  Willowing is also a great ning group.

Kim is offering a free mini course on Photoshop.  You bet I registered.  

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week,

Ho ho ho! Stamped over music sheet.

I'm not a winter person at all. Hate it, actually! So this year, I'm adding a little spring in my Christmas tree. heheheheeee.

Loved this image, except when you look at the Santa really close, he looks rather scary.

This cute little girl was cut out with my large scalloped punch, treated the edges with glitter and a little bit of bling.

Here's another glittered card. Love the look of glitter!

Closer & Closer To Us

Christmas is getting closer, folks! As always things really move quick & hastily around this time of year. For the past couple of years, we made a decision to slow down, simplify. And so this year, mostly out of necessity and because its just smart for us, we're taking it easy. No scheduling overload, no gifts overload, no expensive gifts or unnecessary expenses. After all, what is the reason for the season, right?

Here are some tags/ornament cards I've made in the last few days to decorate one of our Christmas tree which will be our first Victorian-inspired tree. It'll have pink lights, pink glass balls, pink fiber and these. I'll post others as I finish.

The handle on this one was from a gift bag that broke. It made its way to my work table and it clicked! I could use that as a hanger. It truly happened that way.

I used the large scallop punch I just recently got for this one and a broken ponytail holder (the pearls). The background is package tissue from the $ store, which I love, by the way.

I got inspiration from Alice W. at Romantic Thoughts for this one. I loved heir and I kinda like the way mine turned out. These will all go on one of our Christmas trees.
