Time to play with collage and paint for Altered Postcards

I have been participating in the 31 Day Challenge for 24 days now.  I must say, I'm completely exhausted.  I knew that cleaning and organizing my art room was going to be a huge challenge, yet I underestimated how tiring it would be.  Both mentally and physically.

I have been doing well, once my stamp shelves go up I can say I'm almost done.  I did do a little organizing today but I felt I needed a break, and did some art.  One of my great friends, Dede inspired me to just sit down and play.  I took a sheet of 12x12 cardstock and went to town, getting my anxieties down on paper.  I cut the cardstock into six 4x6 postcards that are now ready to alter and send to friends.


I chose the colours and papers based on the journal page I worked on during my Saturday show on Ustream.

I will be back soon with more art and art room update pictures!
Much LOVE

  4. You've been doing amazing things with your art room girl! I've tuned in for several of your videos as you've worked so hard. Organizing is hard on the brain as well as the body! Love these pages so I'm going to go watch the video that inspired them. Again Congrats on being published and almost completing your room!
