A BUSY ARTSY DAY! (and week!)

I had a fun day Saturday at a crop in Maryland with my friend Maraline. I was actually able to get more done than I usually do so I am really happy today to have a lot to share with you.

First up is a tag that I made for a

Native American Tag Swap

over at Paper Doll Trading.

Last time I did one like this I had some fabulous fringe for the outfit but since this move I still can't find much of anything so I just cut my paper.

Next is a birthday card I did using Anita's Foiled Decoupage for the first time as well as a Sizzix embossing folder. It is not the way we did decoupage years ago with the Mod Podge. This is just layers of paper on tiny little pop dots.

A layout of my son and his first car.

And the rest of the share from Saturday are pages of a new 8x8 scrapbook I started of our new kitten!

The cover-

and the first few pages-

And I just discovered that I had not shared some tags I had created recently to swap with a new friend over at Paper Doll Trading, as well as a Sympathy card we sadly needed last week.

The card-

I am going to share this over at

Word Art Wednesday.

and now-

The tags-

And this last tag is for a challenge at Addicted to Paper Dolls using an item from our kitchen - which of course on here are the tea bags.

I will also share this one with

Coffee Loving Paper Crafters Facebook Group(they drink tea and cocoa too!)

Thanks so much for stopping by to view my latest creations!

PLAYING PAPER DOLLS AGAIN!

Today I have a few quick things to share. The first is a tag for the mother of one of the gals in a group I belong to. She has developed dementia and this is a subject dear to my heart as I went through it with my Mom. We were told bright colors to catch her attention as well as blue being her favorite color.

Here is what I came up with -

This is Audrey -

Julie Nutting's 1950's decade doll.

Next is another attempt at Pocket Art. This is for a Winter Themed Page Swap over at Robin's Scrap Nest. The doll I chose for this page is Valentina!

And here are a few close-ups!

Along with the page swap event there is going to be an optional game for those that wanted to create another pocket page. For this one I got to use one of my newest stamps from Julie's latest collection which all have a beach theme. I also entered this page in a challenge at Paper Doll Trading for using a 1950's theme. This is Suzi!
