This 'n' That

I used my art time this week playing with my new Big Kick,
and the new dies I have gotten recently. I made a number of
greetings cards and had friend Laura over to make cards.

However I did work in my mixed media journal and 
my double spread pages are below. The exercise was to
alter a face found in a magazine ad. I chose one from Macy's.
Maybe you will recognize the ad; maybe not.
Hint:  she has dark hair and dark eyes in the original ad.




I also did a phone doodle while talking with a friend:



And here are a couple of cards I stamped
using the Frugal Crafter's video and technique.

Hope you will join the party and come

  3. Aren't phone doodles the best. Sometimes your hand just has a mind of its own and you look down and are surprised by the end result. Love it!

  10. Your phone doodles always amaze me - so much more than simple doodles! Your cards are lovely and I love the detail in the journal pages (although we don't have Macy's over here so I'm not familiar with the original girl in the ad, I like what you've done with the page regardless!)

  25. Phone doodle Faye? I hardly think that's a doodle... she's brilliant. I'm not sure about the ad, but whatever it's a gorgeous journal page. It sounds like you've had a busy week.
    Here's hoping that your weekend is relaxing.
