Sketchbook Project

Six years ago, I completed several collages for The Sketchbook Project. The theme was "A Record Year for Rainfall" which resonated with me since I live in a desert (an area with extremely low rainfall amounts).

I've been cleaning-up/reorganizing my studio, came across remnants from this project and decided to post the work here on my blog for perpetuity.

The book was titled, Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall, and I included the poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The images were cut from various magazines and books and pasted with a glue stick.

I Know


Love this little miss and those doe-eyes--she's included in the latest release of Tim Holtz Paper Dolls. She's sitting inside a Mini Cabinet Card that I fussy-cut and behind it is the backside of the card that I tinted to provide a darker backdrop.

The frame's scrollwork was embellished with a Picket Fence Distress Marker and Glossy Accents along with dots made with Scribbles. The butterfly was stamped, cut-out, tinted and crackled.



My starting point for this tag was trying out the new Idea-ology Worn Wallpaper and an attempt to achieve a peeling effect. That's cardboard as the base filled in with texture paste to simulate the look of wooden laths and plaster.

A Clippings Sticker, more dots of Scribbles and a piece of Lace Trimming were also used.

That Was My Boy


Sad, sad times--we must do better and I pray that we will. Hope is everything. How can we continue without it?

A Sideshow stamp, Clipping Stickers and various inks were used for this tag linked to Simon's Monday Challenge Blog. The theme this week is Grunge It Up.
