It's Just Paper.: These are the Days of Miracles and Wonder

These are the Days of Miracles and Wonder

Materials: paper- Basic Grey and Bazzil cardstock; alphabet and shape dies by Quickutz; stamps- Autumn Leaves and Fancy Pants; ink - Distress Ink by Rangers, VersaFine by Tsukineko.

I don't have kids and seldom do cute but students a few years ago challenged me to do a baby layout. This set of Autumn Leaves stamps had been calling my name so I accepted the challenge. It was another good release from Quickutz and I think I might have recently acquired that grand font. I think it is Journal but I may be wrong. The small one is Metro.

Just in passing...

I don't know if there is a totally original idea or not. I know I spend a fair amount of time checking out magazines and galleries and other peoples artwork. Somehow it rolls around in my brain, often keeping me awake at night until I know just what I want to create and then I create it. I get inspired but then I do my own thing. Hopefully, that is what we all do. Please take whatever inspiration you like but if you scraplift, please give credit to the artist you take it from. If you want to know how I did something, ask. Glad to share.

Piece/Peace Movement

*** This is a May posting but I don't want it to get lost in the back pages so I am reposting it here. ***

I want to start a Piece/Peace Movement. Wait, don't go running down to the basement to see if you still have that pair of bell bottom pants or that string of beads you (or your parents) wore back in the 60's unless of course you are going to use it as artist material. I don't want to stage "Love Ins" unless scrapbooking or crafting is involved. No artificial mood enhancers required. What I do want to do is share a little piece/peace with others through a piece of art that I and hopefully you create. Here is what I have in mind. Create a piece of art. It could be a scrapbook page, a card, an altered object that you have put a little piece/peace of yourself into. Think about what Peace means to you and how you achieve it in your life. Create a piece of art. Not a paper artist? Doesn't matter. Use whatever medium you want and then post it so others can share your peace/piece. The idea is to spread peace around. Do something that makes you feel good and share it with others. The key here is to share your peace/piece with as many people as possible.You never know, maybe this whole Peace thing will catch on.
Remember to post a link to your artistic endeavors in the comment section. We all want to participate in your Peace Work.

Just so I know I am not talking to myself.
