"Freestyle Art based on This Ad"
Published January 15, 2011 | The Tangie has oodles of inspiration and taking that inspiration, twisting it, add a bit of art journaling, and a pinch of hilarity brings it to this months Altered ARTspiration! The ad was found a while ago, and it popped up this month for us to alter to our hearts content! This means, you don’t have to recreate it, just pick something in it that grabs you, colors or one of the elements and run with it!!
All the particulars for the challenge are located in the Monthly Challenge section at ScrapBookGraphics (SBG).
Here are a few highlights from the gallery, that can only delight and encourage you to open up a blank canvas and begin playing!!
First I love the backgrounds and woman in the decanter is just fabulous by Its only ME; Where to Next Darling.
The dramatic rose on display, so vibrant and alive against the old peeling background was just beyond tantalizing to me by defordj; Glory in the Flower.
I just noticed this is the first layout in the SBG gallery by defordj! I can tell you I am looking forward to seeing more!!!
There are many more in the gallery, to look at and just sigh over! I hope to see yours there soon! There is still plenty of time to do this months Altered ARTspiration challenge!!
I will be looking for yours soon!!
A relaxing and fun challenge!
Published December 18, 2010 | This year I was introduced to the world of ATC’s. The little cards of wonder! I had become so accustomed to a 12×12 inch canvas, switching to 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 was a bit rough (I admit I do 5×7 and then shrink). But having different size canvases has become a favorite thing of mine.
This month’s Altered ARTspiration from Tangie is Gothic Arches. I love how people are using these arches in so many different ways:
Scrappie Irene blew me away with her digital one, but then her hybrid card “Merry Christmas” is just unbelievable with the elegance and old fashion Christmas feel:
For a completely different look ladynorth used 3 arches and made this wonderful page “Winter Solstice Longest Night”:
As always, I love the comments in the gallery. I do believe that people in the altered world of creating can leave the kindest and most uplifting comments:

{Thursday Nonsense} Who doesn’t love a good challenge?
Published December 2, 2010 | Happy Thursday afternoon everyone! I have been literally working 18-20 hour days getting the Art Journal Caravan Expedition 2011 ready for the shop this weekend! I’m so very excited with how it is turning out and I can’t wait to share with you guys! I thought I’d take a little break and hop on over here and do my Thursday Nonsense blog posting. I got to thinking about the challenge I posted yesterday in the Scrapbookgraphics.com forums… it is going to be so much fun and I KNOW the entries are going to be spectacular, won’t you join us? We’re making Gothic Arches this month with a Christmas theme! I think we’re going to have to add these arches in on a regular rotation with skinnies and inchies! I’ve even made a freebie for you to make it easy to get started (you’ll have to pop over to the forums to grab it! Plus check out all the “Gothic Arches” eye candy on google! WOW!
I sure would love to see even more of you drop by every month! You even get a $3 coupon to Studio Tangie just for playing along. Plus there are about 10 other challenges going on every month at SBG too, it really is a great place to hang out when you need some inspiration for a new project!
I hope that you are all having great December so far and that it brings lots of joy and fun to you even though it’s such a busy time of year! We’re going tonight to buy a new tree– I’m so excited!

Published October 13, 2010 | This month’s ARTspiration is “Spooky Haunts”
This does NOT have to be Halloween, it could go from the scary haunted house like this to a place that just gives you the creeps! You ever walk in a place and your skin crawls and you feel a bit sweaty? My English class used to do that to me. I knew that woman was going to rip apart my creative writing, cover my page with RO (run ons) and FRAGMENTS. She loved to underline and capitalize the word fragment on my papers. I think of her classroom and it is one of the spookiest.
Okay, I joke, but there are some “Spooky Haunts” just waiting to be scrapped. Now is the time to pull them out and let us see your creations!! Please upload it to our Altered Artspirations Gallery {here} then come back and link us up in this SBG thread so we can leave you some love, and know who participated (Tangie gives the coupons from the SBG forum not from the gallery so please make sure you let us know you played)!

Altered Artspiration #32
Published October 9, 2009 | Create at least 1 if not a series of inchies!
Don’t know what inchies are? Basically they are 1×1 inch square canvases! Many people make projects out of a whole set of them or “hide” them in other works of art! They are very addicting!
