Silly Scraps Saturday

Time is getting away from me somehow.  But it is still Saturday and time for some scraptivity!

Silly Scraps Saturday

Today we're finishing artist trading cards for tomorrow's swap.  Here are the scraps I used:

Happy Valentine's Day!

in any language!

I can't stop making these.

Here are the scraps I used:

Drawing Faces with Sharpies

I took an on-line mini-course with Alisa Burke recently called Portrait Play.  I took the course for inspiration rather than to learn anything, and every time I watch one of the videos I do get inspired to draw faces!  Here are the latest ones from my sketchbook.  I used a bold Sharpie to make the drawing, and then added a bit of watercolor.

This dude is pretty cool, don't you think?

A Little Bird Told Me

The songbirds were frolicking in the sunshine today, singing as they scattered snow from the heavily laden trees.  Birds always inspire me, and the colours in this are screaming spring, aren't they?

The Lid on My Scrap Box Can Finally Close!

That doesn't mean that I'll stop any time soon, though.  I'm enjoying making these mosaics so much that I made a few Artist Trading Cards for the Vancouver swap.  The colour theme is "fire".

And once I got bored with "fire" I did a few "water" ones.

Thanks for being here.  I hope that I inspire someone today.
