Five Years of Magic | Celebrating Roni's Anniversary

Art is the last form of magic that exists! I am honored to be invited to celebrate my teammate and blog compadre's 5th Blogging Anniversary today!! A pioneer in collage and altered art,  Roni sent each of us a tin to alter in honor of this milestone.

Weekly Challenge | Red & Green

Weekly Challenge | Thankful

 It's time for a new challenge with Digital Delights by Louby Loo! This week at Delightful Challenges our challenge is Thankful. While in my part of the world we are getting ready for the fall feast of Thanksgiving and providing thankful blessings among friends and family, the rest of the world does not celebrate the beginning of America in during this time!

 It's time for a new challenge with Digital Delights by Louby Loo! This week at Delightful Challenges our challenge is Let it Snow. Even though in the part of Texas where I live snow is a rarity, I do love the idea of snow! I also love the cute little Ditzy Reindeer that was part of this month's new release! To create this shaped card I used the washer matting technique that I had shared on Tuesday Tutorials with Digital...
