This week’s Featured Artist is Monika Ptok-Byard Artist Monika Ptok-Byard Did you always want to be an artist? If you weren’t an artist, what would you be? […]
I have a book filled with doodles and sketches, some I share with you and some are inspiration for me to keep sketching to improve… definitely not share worthy. I have done a few “art journal” pages, but nothing close to some of the fantastic art journals I’ve seen on some artists’ blogs and sites. […]
Hi everyone! It’s Week Two of our August Theme, “In The Good Old Summertime”. Our inspiration this week is The Fruits of Summer Mmmm. Yummy, juicy, delicious raspberries, blueberries, watermelons, peaches, plums.. oh I want a fruit salad now. Fruit salad on top of a scoop of vanilla ice cream, that sounds good. As […]
I was thrilled when Linda from Creeping Along, left me a comment that she had used one of my Crudoodle Digital Stamps in a card. I love the card and have to share it with you. Linda used the colored version of ‘Her Nose in a Book‘ and the card is absolutely adorable. Beautiful card […]
This week’s scheduled featured artist, sends her apologies. Unfortunately she has had some internet problems and wasn’t able to be interviewed for today.

Even though today is still July, tomorrow will be August 1st, so I’m launching into August with a new theme. August’s theme is In The Good Old Summertime. We’re lucky to have five weeks in August, so we’ll have five weeks to make summery art cards and tags. I decided it would be a good […]
I love ballet. I grew up dancing and like many little girls, dreamt of being a ballerina. Dance creeps into my artwork quite often, whether it’s the tilt of a head, the pose of a hand, or, like this week’s Crudoodle, a figure dancing. This week’s Free Crudoodle Digital Stamp is a darling little Ballerina […]

It’s Christmas in July! This week’s inspiration for your art card or tag are the colors red and green, the traditional Christmas colors. Think red holly berries, green pine needles, red mittens, green ornaments, red cardinals, green wreaths, red sleighs…. I made a red and green gift tag in two versions. Please feel free to […]
It’s time for a little girl talk. Did you ever make a telephone out of paper cups or tin cans and string, when you were little and then see if you could really talk through them? I did. They really work! Of course, unlike in my new Crudoodle, the string has to be kept tight […]
