Luckily I took lots last weekend.

ART on Friday




The last Friday of October - time is zooming by. We even had a few flurries last night.
I haven't done a s much art this week but there are a few challengies I continue with.

Colour Me Positive
This week at LuLu Art the them is laughter. What a boon to health if we could always laugh.



31 Days of Writing
I got stalled with this challenge last week, but decided I needed to finish it. Here is the piece I did for "bouquet"



Art Tags
With Hallowe'en only a few days away, I created some tags for the day. Here are 3 of my favourites:


I also created a tag for ABC Wednesday:





Next week begins AEDM (Art Every Day Month) and I have decided to create art tags with writing quotes to encourage my writing for NaNoWriMo, which I am taking part in for the fourth time.

What challenges are you taking part in for November??

ABC Wednesday - P and WOYWW


This week at ABC Wednesday, P gets the nod.

P is for Presidents - with a message a certain candidate might want to note..




Be sure to check here to see what others around the world did for P.



WOYWW
Each week, Julia Dunnit of "Stamping Ground" encourages us to share what we are working on, as well as our workspace.

Once again, I created my art tag at my dining room table. Here's my table, after finishing the card.


I also sprayed some tags with inks, at my craft table. I am taking part in AEDM and wanted to prepare some tags for next week. I plan to create tags with writing quotes to encourage me during NaNoWriMo, which I am taking part in again.

T Stands for Tuesday

ART on Friday


A busy week-  from attending a muscial about Terry Fox and the Marathon of Hope (so inspiring) to attending the taping of "The Social" yesterday in Toronto (we even taped the show and got to see ourselves on TV!), to doctor's appt. and lunch away - but I did get a bit of art done this week anyway..

Colour Me Positive
This week the theme at LuLu Art was to go after our dreams - chase them and fulfill them!


Art Tags
I loved the short messages in my journal spread above, so decided to create individual atags for each of them
I sprayed the tags with ink, and then stamped them with leaves I had picked up.


Then I added the quotes:




I also created a tag for the ABC Wednesday challenge - O - for octopus on orange. (the stamps really are orange!)




31 Days of Writing/art
Here are a few journal pages I created for my 31 Days of Writing challenge:
