Cheater Backgrounds and Other Goodies

I have hardly had time to make some art, or blog about it.
This past Friday I decided to make time.


I started with cheater backgrounds sent to me as a RAK from a lovely Christian Paper Artists woman. (The papers were no longer in their original mailing envelope so I do not know who to thank now.) I also grabbed some chopstick wrappers and Chinese fortunes I had saved from a recent dinner. The beautiful Asian images are from Linda
and the "found" items (pins, sequins, postage stamps) are from my good friend Karyn, who sent me a box of goodies just because she was thinking of me. (I love being thought of, don't you?)





I happily played for a good hour before I had to rush off to a friend's house for lunch



(we experimented with making carrot cake waffles and ate until we had sugar comas).



This pastel card looks a little unfinished and will probably get a fortune glued to it before I send it off. Well, of course, I am not keeping these for myself! I have so many friends who have blessed me with goodies and I haven't had a chance to send proper thank yous.






This card is going up to Canada.



I think I need to play some more! I still have lots of materials left to work with!
