Fun in the Phoenix Sun

Well, I stopped looking at the computer screen, put on a bathing suit (OMGOSH) and paddled around the pool for an hour, but even then I was multitasking by making phone calls to family and friends. 

As soon as I get away from my desk again today I will be making some fabulouso Gelli Prints which I will then die cut with the Fantastic Revolution Machine.    I am participating in the Inchies Trade produced by Jane Eileen at the Art Unraveled event.


Exciting Event this week in Phoenix
Tomorrow is Meet the Artists night at Art Unraveled in Phoenix and I look forward to seeing so many Facebook friends and instructors that I know.    I will take photos & share them.    To name a few artists you may be familar with;
Jane LaFazio, Michael DeMeng, Kelly Kilmer, Lisa Pavelka, Pam Carriker, Ruth Rae &  more.
I will post during the week, culminating at dinner on Saturday night with Michael as our MC.  


A monumental Event was also held Saturday!

Yesterday was Miss Gabriella's Birthday - Man o Man - there is always that new great thing the kids have to have and her thing is Monster High, a line of dolls and all the accessories you can imagine. It does seemto have humor and a good underlying theme.    Some of the Monsters are Cleo Denile, Frankie Stein, Clawdeen, and more. They have taken a pledge to stop bullies from hurting people.
I was happy to save $5.00 for a "Monster High" Birthday card by making my own. I found images of the Monster dolls online, added them to cardstock, added some die cut items and created an inside page of bordered parchment paper for the sentiment. It was pretty cool if I do say so! Forgot to get a photo before the party, Darn!
 

Happy 9th Birthday Miss Gabby, my Angelface!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
