This week's question from Emily Falconbridge is "Do you believe in fairies?". Quite frankly, this was a bit of a challenge for me. I do not believe in fairies nor do I really work with any Froo Froo Fairy dust.

That said, since I seem to save everything (you will agree when you see an upcoming blog post entitled: Extreme Work Desk Makeover - Move that crap!), I started digging. As I dug, I came across the cancelled Disney stamps.

A friend asked, "Why did you even HAVE those?" My answer, "I have no idea." But, there they were...my inspiration.

What did I learn from this? I will continue to save everything just in case I will need it!

Here we go...week 2 of Emily Falconbridge's 52Q Challenge...
The questioned asked is, "Are you afraid of change?" and, well my answer is....HELL YES! Who isn't afraid of change, huh? It is hard to change. It is hard to watch others around you change. Quick frankly, change sucks....but it is necessary. Without change we can't grow, breath, live, love, experience. All you can do is keep breathing.

It has been a long time since I have posted and for that, I apologize. Life has been crazy and days turned into weeks, weeks into days....

And today....I finally found my muse again (or it found me?)...not sure. Either way, I actually created something today. Amazing.

One of my favorite blogs is Emily Falconbridge. Check it out. She is giving her readers a prompt...one for each week of the year...called 52Q. We are to make a project using that prompt. Last weeks prompt is "What do i wish for this year to bring?". Here is the tag I made for this prompt.

More Collage!

Yes, more on collage...my favorite (for now) technique....this is also for an ATC Swap I am in called vintage Pierrot Collage. I didn't even know what a Pierrot was until I signed up! (BTW, a Pierrot is basically a French, Creepy Clown.) Here is my card.

I LOVE COLLAGE!

I just LOVE making collages...there is something great about getting my hands sticky and full of ink and glue. I know, I know....it may not seem appealing to all of you, but I am sure there are more than a few who love this feeling as well. Anyway, I am in an ATC swap and the title is Vintage Collage - Just Pink...here is my interpetation of this topic. (Notice the "score" paper in the background...)

WTA Cards!

Winner Takes All....on one of the several groups I belong to, you can participate in a WTA (Winner Takes All) swap. WTA is basically an ATC (Artists' Trading Card) raffle. Here are the two I made for the winners....do they look familiar? I just get on a roll with an idea and can't turn it off...it is like a sickness!

An Artists' Alphabet Book Swap

Been away from blogging for a while, but I haven't stopped creating art....soooooo....here are few of the things I have been working on!

This page is for a Chunky Book swap I am in called An Artists' Alphabet....my letter is "E" so I focused on Ephemera, as you can see! It was so much fun looking for cool vintage paper items to include.

The page is 4" x 4" and I justed used items I was collecting for a few years....old, paper tape measures, vintage stamps, old photos (copies, not originals) and other items.
