Here is another tag for the swap.
I am doing a fabric journal and tag swap on our Mixedmediaart group.  This is one of the tags I did for one of my partners...This has been so much fun and I am almost ready to start putting my journal together....
I just couldn't help myself making this card for Jacob's 15th b'day.  He is a big Tim Burton fan as I am also and so  I had to put his head in this custom (I think it was a Dover download)...see his lucky #7 at the edge of his cloak...
I have been working with different techniques lately and having so much fun with them.  Here is a postcard I made for a special friend.  The tree image is printed on fabric...I love printing on fabric....
Next we have a picture painted and collaged by my grandson for art in highschool...I learn so much from Nicole and Jacob's art. I never took art courses in school and the kids learn so much today.
Here is Nicky and the team in Pittsburg where, on a tournament won all of their games and came home proud with the trophy.
here is a picture of my grandaughter. She plays hockey on the boy's team Meadowvale Mohawks.  She won the shovel a couple weeks ago for player of the game.  Nicole is an avid Hockery player and is determined to be in the olympics one day.

Here is Step 2....the horse and girl are my paintings and the other is a mixed digital I played with....
Good Morning World! The sun is shining and it is warm and beautiful outside. That alone should make us smile.

Step one
Well this morning I revamped the technique on the paper towel that was on youtube...when I was pulling the top layer of napkin off it was going okay but one little area caught and made a hole...and the bottom layer of towel was stuck to the cardstock...didn't like the fact that I was wasting a piece of cardstock so I decided to try it this morning without the adhesive and just with tape....here are the pictures of doing it this way....came out perfectly and I can resuse the cardstock.....

Here is the one I tried...I am sorry I don't remember the blog I got the tags from but they were so pretty I just downloaded them for inspiration but the blog url is at the bottom of the printed page..  You can see the blue tape at the top of the page and the pulled back area off the cardstock and the two pieces that you can separate...this is just way too fun.....there goes my day.....

This is the second and third step in my mixed media. You can see Justin is gone.

This is the next step and as you can see I changed a lot on here...my muse told me too. I also brought back Justin's eye..hehehe...I think I might write something in the blue over his forehead.
Board book cover. Mine is on birds...
