What am I working on ?

Currently occupied with a set of 4 ATCs for a swap over on Blissfully Art Journalling.  I just created a birthday card for a friend which I thought turned out really well and which she liked.  I've finished my tag challenge for April and I really enjoyed playing with that format.

Next month I will be participating in the ICAD challenge which runs from June 1st through July 31st. Challenging myself to creating tags for the month of April has made me better prepared to play in the ICAD challenge.  Last year I completed 30 for June; this year I hope to play right to the end.  I'm really hoping that I'm able to do that.  The tag challenge has been really helpful to me as I feel that I have stretched my creative muscles and also upped the amount of time I spend on my art and that's a good thing!

This is the birthday card I created.  I plan to use it as the prototype for some of the cards that I will be donating.  This card was fairly labour intensive and time consuming but then again, I tend to spend a lot of time putzing with the details to achieve the final result I want.  I'm probably the only person who sees the value in getting it just right - most people would probably be very happy with the result without the putzing.  I guess that's my OCD/ perfectionist tendencies coming out!
