What a Hoot

Finally I have mastered the highly technical skill of uploading images. I managed to take the picture, upload it on to my computer, save it to a place where I can actually find it and get it all posted right here on my BLOG. I am slowly acquiring the skills required to participate in this millennium. LOL

So "What a Hoot" is also my May 16th class at Scrapalicious in Mississauga, ON. Those of you interested in attending my class can call the store at 905-614-0085. (Link to the store can be found on my Blog under Stores) I believe it is at 1pm-3pm.

I have used Prima's "Mommy & Me" papers along with Bazzil cardstock, Quickutz dies and cork paper, punches and Tim's Distress Ink and some Glossy Accents.

LOVE the cork, it looks like gynormous staples! and it goes without saying I love the owl paper. What is the name of the border punch you used?

I used the bits out of the center of the O's to make my "staples". I was going to stitch them on and may still do so later as I am thinking of adding lots of stiching later. Will see. Let's get photos on there first.

Oh, the edge punch is a Fiskar's one. I will have to look up it's name.

Thanks, that narrows it down anyways. I think the "staples" look good as they are but whatever.

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.
