2012 is starting off with lots of new challenges. Challenges to UIU (use it up), to travel around the world with the Postcard Challenge, and the Idea Collector Project. So far the only challenge I have been able to keep up with is the UIU, but will be playing catch up with the others.
So to show what I have made by using it up, I’ll start with an ATC (artist trading card) I made using an adorable image of a bossy looking little girl. I made a set of 9 ATC’s and have traded or gifted all but 5 in case anyone is interested in a trade. As always click on image for larger view.

Another journal spread.
Time is and illusion
Seekingforart has been streaming about her melted crayon technique and inspiring me and others to haul out our crayons and play along. My first attempt was a card with a stamped and colored front and then I made a tag. This technique is very addictive and has many possible uses.
So even if I haven’t been blogging, I have been busy arting and hanging out till all hours with great friends in the Stickam chat room. I hope to not be so neglectful of this blog and since we are supposed to post how we are UIU I will hopefully be blogging regularly.
Carol, I love all your updates! Your prismacolor furgrandkid is adorable. Your tags, ATC, journal spreads, etc., are true eye candy. Thanks for sharing them with us!
Thank you Barb. I get a lot of inspiration from you and others on Ustream.
