A little Mix with some mail...

-
I love Halloween, for the decorations and making cards, although I must admit I really love, love the candy...if there is ever a time of the year that I love to indulge it's Halloween...but first here's the outgoing mail.
Mail me some Art
I have participated in the MMSA before...this time, the request was for hand made envelopes to exchange, a first for me! Thanks for the WeR Memory keepers punchboard and you tube, it was easy. Tools and videos can definitely increase likelihood of success...
The envelope please...here they are...
Since I have been playing around with mixed media, here's one for the Halloween theme over on Try it on Tuesday...
wishing you  Bright Halloween.
Mixed media is definitely out of my comfort zone, but fun...this piece has a gelato backround,colored pencils, stencils,  rubber stamping, heat embossing, some leaves I have watercolored and cut out, a Tim Holtz sizzix moon and cat, calligraphy...more is more and more practice required.

Here's my first try for Tag Tuesday. The theme is all creatures great and small...

Wishing you a boo-ti-ful day!

    Well, it might be out of your comfort zone, but the final product is a testament to your creativity---it's terrific! I'm not sure I'm going to get to Halloween cards this year. I have just a few days before we leave again, and a pretty busy schedule!

    The Halloween mail looks so cool. Someone is going to be lucky to get it! And what a fun tag. I like how you embossed the spider web. :) Hugs-Erika

    Your envelopes look fantabulous. I agree that proper tools make things so much easier. I wish I had a die cutter that cut things out, instead of me having to cut everything by hand.

    Your mixed media may be out of your comfort zone, but I truly love it, especially because the colors are not traditionally those of Halloween. And your tag is absolutely fabulous, too. Again, not traditional colors, which makes it more interesting.

    You're having way to much fun! And I don't think mixed media is out of your comfort zone. You nailed it!

    Wow, you have been busy and I love your artwork! The envelopes are spook-tacular ..lol 😉. Your Halloween page is beautiful with the colourful gelato background, the way you have blended the colours is lovely and the mixture of stencils and stamps is perfect. There is so much lovely detail to look at and as always your calligraphy is amazing - I love how you added the cobwebs and those spiders dangling down! Then there is your tag, the embossed cobweb and the way you added the gelato colour is purr-fect with that adorable black cat ...lol 😁. Have a boo-ti-ful day too! J 😊

T stands for Traditions

Nothing says traditions like a holiday...and in our house Birthdays have always been treated like holidays! We hold firmly to the belief that if there is a day you are ever going to celebrate, it's the day you were born. Luckily for Fi, her birthday is October 8, which coincides with Columbus day this year, extending the Birthday to Birthday weekend. We lined up all kinds of special treats, starting with a Half Marathon on Saturday, if you can call that a treat..followed up with  some other birthday specials, breakfast out at our favorite diner,  presents, bookstore coffee and browse around,  made to order breakfasts and dinners,  chocolate cake (yum!) and a wind down with one of our favorite hobbies on Monday... painting Halloween Vignette Years ago, I painted unfinished wood and sold it at craft fairs. Fi loved to go with me to purchase supplies and attend craft shows looking for ideas.  Although it has been a long time since I have participated in a craft fair, we still hav

T stands for Transformation..

and nothing transforms like a butterfly...the metamorphosis is symbolic to so many cultures and religions. The butterfly offers an explanation of the life cycle, and in Christian faiths a symbol of resurrection. In Asian culture, butterflies symbolize long life and love. Native Americans see the butterfly as a symbol of color, change and joy. For them, wishes whispered to the butterfly rise to the heavens. To many people throughout the world, the butterfly symbolizes hope and change. Is it any wonder that I am always on the lookout for them? On our day trip to Ogunquit, I saw some beautiful gardens, lots of color, the ocean, and butterflies... spotted some butterflies... These butterflies were fluttering around in the beautiful gardens outside the Ogunquit Museum of American art. The sculpture garden, flowers and view were amazing. Art and Nature combined.. From here we walked the Marginal Way at Ogunquit, another of my favorite spots... Spectacula

T stands for Tranquility amid the turbulence...

Every click of the television remote or blast from the radio brings more aggressive news of hateful words and actions.  The stress of the situation is exacerbated by the sad fact that I have no impact over the current environment.  All of the lessons of history seem to be lost.   I can only hope that at some point peace, respect and common sense prevail.  Amid all of this discord and hostility, Nish and I went in search of some tranquility. There is no place it is easier  to find than in nature, so we headed to Heritage Museum and Gardens in Sandwich. Majestic trees Beautiful Vista And then we moved through the labyrinth. Moving meditation Labyrinth move within, let go circle, center, continue  end, let go, begin The current exhibit is Painted Landscapes: Contemporary Views.  Some of my favorites:  So much inspiration taken from the beauty of nature. It was back outside to one of my favorite water features of the Gardens. Flume fountain in
