heart the art: week 10 (keep going)

hooray for saturday! hooray for HEART the ART! here is my page for last week, week #10, the prompt was KEEP GOING. as soon as i read it, i thought of this illustration from a vintage red riding hood illustration i cut out a while ago. it just kind of sums up the feeling you get sometimes, doesn't it? (well, i guess it does to me, lol!)


(materials: page from a vintage children's book; making memories alphabet stamps; ranger & colorbox inks; bam pop thought bubble; manual typewriter; sewing machine)

speaking of gina, our lovely HEART the ART hostess, she and i decided to have another ATC swap! ordinarily i would show you both halves at the same time, but i have received gina's already and mine aren't even started yet...plus these are too good...and i can't wait! first here is the cool card i got, and a fabulous bookmark gina made for the recent caardvarks' sticker challenge. isn't it cool?

but of course the real show is the cards themselves. we didn't have a theme, we're going freestyle this time. gina painted these amazing wizard of oz cards:


how much do you LOVE THESE??! well, not as much as i do! and they're *MINE*!!! :) seriously, these have instantly gone to the top of my "prized possessions" list: i'm getting them framed so they can hang right over my desk; i'll show you when they're done. and i'll show you my half of the swap...when they're done! in the meantime i say another giant

THANK YOU!

to the artiste, and highly recommend you check out her blog if you haven't done so already, you are in for a real treat!

  5. Your journal page is so funny. I love that lurking wolf. Red's gonna prevail though. She's one tough cookie. And Gina's so sweet to send you her art works. Very cool that you are going to frame them. Like art should be.
