Weekly Prompt Pages

I was late with last week's page so I'm including it with this weeks page....which is now next weeks. Make sense?

The weekly prompt at Art Squared has been changed to a bi-weekly prompt. Apparently trying to do a page every week is just too hard for some people....like me! Holy heck, am I happy they changed this! I like having the deadline though, because that's the only thing that will motivate me to complete a page...honestly. A single page can take me forever while I bounce around doing other things. Maybe more people will now join in since they'll have two weeks to work on a page. I hope they do because I'd love to see more pages!

This week's prompt was "Wings". I love this. I was going to do a butterfly page but went with what I had in my stash...a lot of Graphic 45 type wings and other goodies. I cut the blue dragonfly off a card I received from a friend at Your Paper Pantry and stamped the Hummingbird image. Love how it all came together.



Last week the prompt was "Trees". I had a hard time coming up with something but I had this cute little Crafters Warehouse Stencil. I stamped it on the background and it sat waiting for me all week long.

The Unfinished Page

I seem to be having a problem finishing a page lately. Well, more of a problem than usual. I think I'm enjoying creating backgrounds so much that I just move on to another one when I feel it's done. Then there are the god-awful ugly ones that no one could work through. Believe me, I've been working them for weeks and getting no where.


This one I like and I don't think I'm going to add anything to it.


This one needs more work.


This is the result of too many layers. I should have quit long ago when it looked a lot better.


What I really like is the weekly challenge from Art Squared. It's so much easier for me when I don't have to come up with something, (my brain just doesn't work the way it once did). I hope more people join in because I think it's fun and easy and it forces you to create! I'll be uploading this weeks page later on.

I've also just signed up for Gulfsprite's 30 Days of Art Journaling. I'm really looking forward to this class! Christy is so talented! You need to view her YouTube videos and see for yourself. Then sign up for her class....at $1.00 a day, I don't know why anyone wouldn't sign up! I'm so thrilled that she's sharing her knowledge with us! You can find her video about the class on YouTube or click on the 30 Days of Art Journaling button over there on the right -------> A little further up...there you go.

Weekly Prompt from Art Squared

This weeks prompt was "Today". I thought I'd go through the news to see how the day was shaping up for the rest of the world. Although my day was progressing nicely, it sure wasn't so elsewhere. There were far worse things in the news that day, but I purposely left them out.

Art is...

I made this in response to a weekly prompt at Art Squared, a blog showcasing Lita and Samara, "two artsy types, two distinct styles, one weekly prompt". Everyone is invited to join in and post a link to your own interpretation of the prompt. I'm super happy with this piece, and can't wait to see what they have in store for the next!
