She Art Workshop #3 "She Has Three Sisters"<br />
OneElegantArtist~Kpaigen2013<br />
<br />
<br />
I created this to express one of the wonderful relationships I have, with my<br />
three sisters! We are all so different, and yet the same. We have fun together<br />
and yet we give each other space to just "be." They are my loves, my support,<br />
and fun of my life. I love you guys, Theresa, Mary & Elizabeth.<br />

I created my first she art mixed media with a little help from Christy Tomlinson and her online workshop called "SheArtWorkshop." This is my first of three creations each with a different flair.<br />
I highly recommend the workshop, it is affordable, fun and instructional. easy to work with. Loved it.<br />
Makes me wonder, what will I come up with next?<br />

I have had alot of fun decorating for fall this year of 2012. Autumn is a very color filled time here at Basswood Cottage. The maple trees are orange, the oaks are red. Trees line our driveway, and the Blackhawk Statue across the Rock River is in view from our front porch. It is a time to be thankful to gof for all His blessings.</div>

<br />
I have a great idea for a simple Owl card. Since owl's are all the craze now. Even my granddaughter Emma loves owl cards and made a few with me last time she visited granny & papa's house.<br />
<br />
<br />
Just take a 81/2 X 11 in sheet of cardstock, preferably white, and cut in half, each side measuring 51/2 inches. fold each piece again. <br />
Take an owl stamp, and three shades of one color. I used oranges, blues and greens for my cards.<br />
<br />
stamp the image three times on the card front, you can hand draw a branch or use a flourish stamp.<br />
stamp the owl image again on white cardstock panel and cut out, attach to the middle owl or the same colored owl, attach with dimensional sticker dots.<br />
<br />
add a sentiment or "owl saying,"<br />
<br />
here are a few ideas, <br />
Owl miss you! ~ Hi Y'owl!! ~ Your'e such a Hoot! ~ Owl always love you~ Who's the best? ~ Owls about dinner?~ Yoo-Hoo! ~ Whoo's Thankful? ~ Thanks for giving ahoot!<br />

I don't.</div><blockquote>Fall</blockquote><div></div><div> It is<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> slooowly</span> catching up to me. Plus with the economy being what it is I will be rethinking the gifts that I will give this year. </div> Maybe we can <span style="color: #660000;">all rethink ...the ART of giving. </span><br />
What if this year you <span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">make</span> your gifts?<br />
My husband and I always try to make something, even if it's jar of jam made with love. or handmade card. or...herbs from your garden, maybe a date night out for a couple who have small children with you as the babsitter!!??<br />
**~~**~~**~~**~~<br />
The possiblities can be endless. It usually means there will be more <span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">effort</span> on your part. You may say "But it is sooo easy to buy a gift card!" But the reward will be so empty.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I'd like to introduce <span style="color: #b45f06;">Etsy.com</span></span> for your shopping list. The artisans are wonderful, full of great ideas, like retro and vintage and fashionista and darn exciting!!!!<br />
I love to browse Etsy just to see what these artisans come up with. It never ceases to amaze me the creativity that is in this world. I do mean world because the artists are from all over the world. Take a peek sometime before Christmas you will be glad you did!!********************* kathyOne Elegant Artisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04716522891448256766noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282821545832714585.post-76761792176068504652010-08-25T08:36:00.000-07:002010-08-25T08:36:42.110-07:00Hard Work and the Payoff!!Have you ever been in the situation when you have worked and worked and nothing ever happened?<br />
Maybe it's your 9-5,and the boss doesn't apprectiate your contributions to the company. Maybe you even work two jobs. Or maybe it's the everyday routine of motherhood doing laundry, cleaning toilets, wiping noses with little apprectiation from your family. Maybe your a struggling artist just waiting for someone to notice that wonderful creation that you put your heart and soul into. Maybe your an actress who wants to be noticed for all the hard work and long hours you put in.<br />
Take heed and be encouraged!! All that time and effort will pay off at some point...if you DON'T GIVE UP!! That is the key to so many things in life isn't it? The trying..the longing...the perseverance.<br />
Sure I will be the first to admit, that life can be discouraging , we can lose the focus, lose the drive, and our work can become meaningless.<br />
This weeksomething magical happened to me. Three of my cards have been published in "Take Ten" magazine. It is a magazine that caters to card makers. It is chock full of beautiful works made by artisans. It is a top notch magazine in the publishing world. And I am in it!! I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE IT.<br />
This is the point, keep trying, keep tweeking, keep talking about your product, dream about it, blog about it. And when success knocks at your door, Thank your creator God, BASK IN THE GLORY....then keep working. Someday it will pay off. kathyOne Elegant Artisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04716522891448256766noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282821545832714585.post-60616715048321961672010-08-14T10:29:00.000-07:002010-08-25T18:04:49.236-07:00Card Creations 101Everyone loves to receive a card in snail mail, or as a gift wit a birthday gift ...or even when someone is sad. A card says to others that you are thinking of them. And you cared enough to send a home created gift.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;"> This card in particular has style!!</div><br />
This card is great for girl friends birthdays. The front says "STYLE" so on the inside of the card you can write...<strong><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">you may be another year older but you still got STYLE!</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So let's get started. First get out all your</span></strong> products, choose the main color you want the overall card to be . Here I used purple for the ink and embellishments and used a beige card. I like to use a heavy weight cardstock, preferably 85lb or heavier.<br />

I used a dark purple diamond shaped jewel. Set aside.<br />

I used the Paris stamp and the Fleur De Le on the corners, above the dress and handwrote STYLE in brown or purple. Then take that sponge and ink with purple(light) and apply to edges of card and overlap onto dress.<br />

Next take your blank card and start to layer. Attach the designer pattern piece,which is slightly smaller than the card itself and only half the size, then softly sponge the edges with the purple ink.<br />

You can either write it out with colored pen or print message on computer using special fonts and print and cut out and apply inside. also don't forget to sign the back of your card or add a label. <br />
Hope you will have fun with this project. People just love home created cards. People tell me that they are so happy to know that I was thinking of them Who needs to hear from you today? Send them a greeting that only you can create.<br />

Stay tuned for my next project...a little Pin <strong>cushion bird that</strong> is adorable. You could make them for Christmas gifts for the people who sew in your family. They are also decorative, even if you don't sew. If you have ant old wooden thread spools keep them for this project or..but them at garage sales. I love to buy Grandma's old sewing kits or tins. They usually have lots of good things like old buttons, tools, spools, yarn and more. Talk later kathyOne Elegant Artisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04716522891448256766noreply@blogger.com0
