12 Tags of Christmas Funkie Junkie Style

Last year I wasn't able to finish Linda's 12 Tags of Christmas.

This year I will finish it.

Here is how the Challenge works.

Click HERE to the challenge requirements. 

Each Monday for the next 12 weeks, I will post a Christmas tag.  If you wish to play along, you can make any sort of Christmas or winter themed DIY project.  It can be a tag, but doesn't have to be.  It can be a Christmas card, a holiday decoration, a scrapbook layout, a tree ornament, a banner, whatever you want but it does have to be inspired by my tag and must be Christmas or winter themed.  For those of you who chose to make a Christmas card, this challenge will help you complete at least 12 handmade cards.  

Linda's tag I was inspired by the stamp of Santa and his reindeer plus the postage style stamps.

Here is a close up of the postal style bow.

You can see Santa's reindeer and the layered background.

That's it.

If you need supplies to create your own Christmas tags head on over to 

The Funkie Junkie Boutique.

Linda's will have everything you need.

My Migraine Painting

First it's not finished.

Yes, I work on it when I have a migraine.

It's usually the second day and I can function but need a distraction.

Someone asked me why?

I have no idea.

I've been working on this painting for two years only when I have a migraine that lasts two days.

I don't know why I go right for this painting.

You name a color, I've used it on this painting.

I thought I would show you how it looks now.

I believe the colors will stay.

It's not finished but maybe soon.

How long have you worked on a project?

I Cut Up My Stencil

I do cut them up.

Sometimes you just need to do it.

Head over to The Crafter's Workshop Blog and find out which stencil I cut up to create this tag.

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

This is a journal page in my travel journal. 

The design was there I just used watercolors to add some color.

It was a perfect page when you don't have much time.

The background was created with Rhonda's Fragments.

I'm adding this link to Balzer Designs Art Journal Every Day.

It's Not Messy Enough

I bought Dina Wakely's new book called Art Journal Courage.

I love Dina Wakely's art and decided to try something out of the book.

The one thing I noticed is that I stiffened up.

I can be quite messy in my art but I find doing something from a book I lose it.

This piece will be getting a make over.

I thought I would show you what it looks like before I started.

I haven't decided how I'm going to change it yet.

It may sit for a while before I touch it again.

I love the book and will try other projects in the book.

What are your favorite art books?

Let me know. 

I'm always looking for more.
