Have to moderate comments
Why do some of these people think they can get away with posting their silly links in the comment section of our blogs? I mean come on folks! So now I have to moderate comments. That is too bad. But whatcha gonna do?
I feel bad doing this but I have more important things to do then have to go back and delete them. As long as we have the internet there will always be those low lives that have nothing better to do then spam an art blog!
Gesh! GET A LIFE!

Just having fun!
I was trying to do a transfer on this background and it messed up. I was going to throw it away. I took a piece of sand paper and smoothed it out and added some inks and voila!
The image is from Paper Imagery Designs and this is NIA!

PID Challenge
We are having a weekly challenge over at Paper Imagery Designs Yahoo Group and the theme this week is “girls”. Well that leaves you wide open for just about anything.
Since Sarah is my favorite…no wait Isabella…ummmm…no it’s Tessa! Aw gesh I love them all!
I used a transparency of Sarah. The base of the ATC is the embossed ATC blanks that we sell. I used some chalk inks and paints. Glued on pages from an old book and colored them with my NEW TOY!!
I have wanted this application tool for a long time and finally bought one. It is made by Delta and it’s a motorized color application tool called “Spin Color”. It blends your inks, chalks etc. Oh what fun this is!!! So I used it to blend in my inks around the paper.
I attached a piece of German scrap decoration and some German embossed floral stickers and then blended them with my new tool to tone down the colors.
If you have a chance come on over and play along with us. We have supplied a free image in our Yahoo group for you to participate!
