If you can dream it...you can become it

My contribution for the Mixed Media Monday Flourishes Challenge. A 3X5 skinny

One World~One Heart

Photo


This is such a special way for people to connect to share art, ideas and things that are special. At first I thought I couldn't manage the time to do it and then realized that it means a lot to me to offer something, as others have done. Really the generosity of so many has left me so inspired I couldn't wait a minute longer to make my contribution!

The first of two items is a torso tag design that I enjoy making, especially at this time of a year. It is my favorite bookmark to give away, although things can get a bit out-of-hand with the trinkets that I attach, alas, I do bling very well!







The next item is a Gothic Arch....an interesting mixed media art template that I discovered at the beginning of this year.





Yes, the winner will receive both.......mailed anywhere in the world!

I will also include some 'Moo' cards, see some examples below, also please sign my 'moo' guest book if you have one of my cards already:

A Friend Is Someone Who Knows

my first skinny for Skinny Saturday Art 3x5's

Calligraphy stamp credit to Suzanne @ Quietfire Designs! (I really like to use sections of the elegant lettering as it blends into mixed media collage easily.)

Dream Pennant Week 3




This week's pennant was left to the last moment and somehow I just started with what was in front of me and ended up with this. Of course, I have valentine designs in my thoughts! This pennant is for my dreams of travel to the UK and beyond...
