Here's some new ATCs!

Synchronicity part 2

Ok, another wierd coincidence to report. I managed to lock my keys in my car before going in to work. I realized this upon leaving work and we called security and they helped me get into the car (rather quickly, actually)... so as I drove out of the parking lot and switched on the radio... the first commercial that came on was an OnStar commercial about a guy locking his keys in his car! I had not heard this commercial ever before.... other OnStar ones, but never this one. How bizaare. I guess there's nothing to say, but life is interesting sometimes.

A stange occurance today...

Some thoughts on a funny and wierd happening today...

Some new ATCs

Here are some new ATCs I made yesterday. Some of the words are inspired from a deck of cards I got that are "the Power of Intention" by Wayne Dyer.

ATCs

Just made a couple of ATCs last night. I haven't made any of these in a while.

My Zettiology Journal

This is my Zettiology art journal, inspired by books I got this Christmas: Alphabetica: An A to Z Guide for Collage and Book Artists by Lynne Perrella, Artists' Journals and Sketchbooks by Lynne Perrella and Visual Chronicles by Linda Woods and Karen Dinino. These were all very inspiring. So I took my little Moleskine notebook/journal (the little ones that come three to a pack) and started coloring pages and stamping my favorite Zettiology rubber stamps into it... Zettiology stamps are from Teesha and Tracy Moore (I believe they have a website at zettiology.com if you want to check out their stuff...it's awesome. They do journals, too. Take a peek and see what crazy stuff came out of my brain in the last few weeks. If you want to see the pages closer, just click on the image to see a larger view. (I did them in two "chunks" so they stayed in order).

Christmas card art and other stuff

Here are some Christmas cards I've been working on. I'm only picking my favorites. I've made quite a few this year.

I tried some different color schemes this year... I saw the blue and yellow in Take Ten magazine and liked it. The purple and greens are an old favorite of mine for holiday colors.

I also really enjoy doing the tag art. They are fun and I forced myself this year to do four of a kind at a time so I'd get more done faster.

Christmas Cards

After reading another blog I was inspired to add some of my Christmas card art (since I'd scanned them in anyway).

These are only a few of what I've done, I only added my favorites.

Although I think doing the tags were the most fun. Now I just have to sign and make out envelopes and get them all mailed! That's never the easy part, oddly enough.

I tried some color combinations that I don't usually do for Christmas cards... the yellow and blue was something I saw in Take 10 (I think) and I really liked it. The red and tan worked out nicely and even the black and yellow worked with Santa in the center. The purple and green combo is an old favorite and I've always liked using blues for Christmas.

I'm also going to add some art cards I did for a submission to Somerset Studio (which I never got around to sending in) that I liked. The theme was Paris (which I guess should be pretty obvious).
