    T Tuesday: collage card edition

    I totally missed T stands for Tuesday last week. T stands for Tuesday_200I can’t even remember what I was doing other than not being on my computer.

    I do know what I was obsessively making on Thursday though…collage card

    I turned on some music, grabbed my scraps and began piecing together collages. I think I was inspired to make more after writing an article about my process. I’ll give you more of a heads up on that when it’s about to be published. 🙂 Honestly I’m not sure how much I’m allowed to say about it until it comes out so that’s all I’m saying for now.

    I’m such a tease…I know.

    Today we are expecting a snow storm but we haven’t seen a flake so far. If it’s as bad as they say, Little J’s concert may be postponed tonight. In the mean time I’ll be working around the house. Exciting, huh?!?

    So…what are you doing today?

    Inspired by Pinterest

    As I’ve said many many times…I spend a lot of time on Pinterest. I’m often inspired by the images I see. I’m not one to completely copycat but tweak the design a little for my own use. Sometimes it’s color combos that make me run downstairs to create. Other times it’s the curve of a line, interesting texture or a simple splat of ink that has my mind whirling.

    Before a stomach bug took me out of commission for a couple of days, I was inspired by this image and my new found interest obsession in weaving, to create this card.

    Actually I made a couple cards since I had strips cut.

    The cards in turn inspired me to create this journal page.

    The Yogi tea tag was a serendipitous find in my stash.
