Almost a month since me last post . . . now where did that month go?!? Well, I have been busy, so how about a little summary?
Art Journal Emporium
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it, but I subscribe to Tangie Baxter’s AJ Emporium and we have a lot of activities geared to inspiring creativity. Plus, it’s a lot of fun! Check out the box in the right column if you think you might like to join, too.
One of the activities I take part in is a monthly Artist Trading Card (ATC) swap. Here is what I received in April:
The Daily Art Dose
I decided to do lettering practice for April – here are some of my favorites:
Emporium Book Club
Yet another activity is the Book Club. This month, our book was “Art Journal Courage: Mixed Media Techniques” by Dina Wakley. Check out some of the things I created with the help of this book!
Digital Scrapbook
Since I’ve “discovered” the joys of Photoshop Elements, I’ve used a lot of family photos to create layouts suitable for memory keeping. One way I keep focused is by joining on-line challenges. The challenges mean I’m not doing things in any kind of order, but that works for me just fine!
Quilting
In spite of how it may look with all that, I DO have time for a bit of quilt making – just a bit! These blocks took most of the month, but they are mostly done.
And there are three rows ready to be stitched together:
This is just a sampling. Whew – makes me tired to look at it all together! I’m ready for May, though. Bring it!
