Calendar

Our Paper Traders group does a calendar every year and this is my submission for December:



I know that it's not very seasonal, but some of our members are in the southern hemisphere and so the calendar doesn't have any seasons to it.

RR Journal 2007 - part 1

So here's the project that has been consuming all my time and mental energy... The Paper Traders Round Robin Art Journal!

My theme is Chinese Proverbs. Here is what I have for my book so far...

My final half spread (facing the page shown above)

I wanted to have more pages done before I sent the book on, but just didn't have the time (or muse) to get them done... I'm still thinking about things I want to add when my book returns next year, though.

The first person I pass to is Fred in Escondido. I am still waiting to hear from him because he lives near the area evacuated for the Witch Fire. The first journal I receive is my mom, Connie's (see link for Stampgram's Studio). Her theme is Ancient Cultures and I think I'm going to decorate a spread on the Mayans.

Any Theme Goes Dimensional ATC Swap

These are for an upcoming Paper Traders swap where you needed to use a dimensional object:



I loved these carved stone creatures and have been saving them for something fun! My little "bubbles" dried kinda weird but, oh well...

October WTA Lottery

Here's my submission for this month's Winner-Take-All lottery on Paper Traders:



It's a super simple card, but I like it because it's just so pretty!

Black, White, and a Smidgen of Color

These are my ATC contributions for the Black, White, and a Smidgen of Color swap:

Bird Deco swap

These are my pages for the upcoming Bird Deco swap. I tried to decorate these based on the seasons: Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer (shown respectively, below...)

Gothic Arch swap

While on vacation last week, I finally managed to complete this overdue project...

I had to submit 6 pages and will get 6 different ones back from the other artists. Here is a scan of one of my pages - they were all the same but slightly different just because each one was hand done:



This will be a book once completed... here are my front and back covers (inside and out):
