Ok, so I had an ideas block today.

Thanks to all my Facebook & Twitter lovelies for their help.

Only trouble now is that I now have a gazillion ideas and not enough time to do them! Lol :)

Today’s ATCs (yes, two for the price of one) are therefore to reflect today…

I woke up today with the thought that everyday is a new day and can life can be re-written at any time – so I thought that this would make a good design challenge for this ATC series.

The ladies love a good perfume – right?

Well I hope so as that is the theme of today’s Artist Trading Card.

Anyone for a cuppa?

Today’s creation was definitely a break from the norm and a little bit of an experiment and took several cups to muse over.

Spring will be on it’s way (hopefully) sometime soon so I thought that I would do a nice floral design for today’s ATC challenge.

One of my favourite artistic styles is Art Deco. The ladies and gents (depicted in the movies) all dressed up and had a whale of a time.

This Artist Trading card is therefore dedicated to my love of the era.

Three weeks in and still going! I hope that you are enjoying this series of posts.

I am very humbled by the compliments that you have all left – and this is what has inspired today’s creation about friendship.

Worldwide Wednesday – Julene Harrison, Paper Artist

So, you know how much I have enjoyed paper cutting over the last year and how much I am in awe of those that do this delicate and time intensive craft?

Well, for that very reason I contacted super-talented paper cutting artist Julene Harrison to see if she would take part in my Worldwide Wednesday series – and I am pleased to say that she agreed! (it would be a pretty short and pointless post if not, lol)

Hello again! Well, here is number 20 in my 365 day challenge.

Sometimes I find the things that other people do a little magical. It could be a skill or a talent – I know such a diverse and talented bunch of people that I am surprised that I don’t live in a perpetually awestruck state.

Anyway, it was this feeling that I wanted to convey in today’s Artist Trading Card.
