WELCOME TO MIXED MEDIA MONDAY PICK 21!
I hope you'll enjoy my process. This one was a challenge and believe it or not, I picked these ones!
Then head on over to our new program, My Year of Self Expression 2017. The videos, tips and prompts are FREE! You just need to be a member of one of the following groups below, or all of them. Class introductions begin October 10, 2016... So join today!
I am still trying to get the swing of blogging. I remember to post all of my videos to social media, and then I fall short of blogging.
Part of it is that I just don't feel comfortable writing. I used to be a really good writer and won some awards when I was in school. Unfortunately, seven years ago I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and one of the symptoms is brain fog and I think I may have ADD.. because I can't seem to concentrate writing or reading for any long period of time!
So if you wonder why there is a big gap in entries on my blog, it's for that very reason!
I hope this finds you happy and well!
Toodles!
Take Care!
Until next time..

Welcome to My Most Recent Design Team Challenge for Gina B Ahrens' Stamps and Stencils.
Here is the link to the actual video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plJENQ4xGtU
Here is the process video of how I made this cute card but before you get to that... here is the link to Gina's Etsy Shop in case you are interested in purchasing a stamp or two. Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/GinaBAhrens?ref=pr_shop_more
I have been really bad about keeping up with my blog. I haven't written anything in quite a while.
Where do I begin?
Hmm.. I have been up to many things. I started a Facebook Group called Mixed Media Altered Playing Cards. It's all about altering playing cards into something else. I am also about supporting other artists on Facebook and YouTube, so I let them post their videos and pictures of what they have been up to besides the altered cards.
If you are interested in joining here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1561515894162308/
Here is the video that started it all.
I have also been involved in other Facebook Art Groups that keep me busy between doing swaps and videos on my art journaling. This year I have joined Journal 52 and I have been recording my process of each prompt on my YouTube channel. If you are interested go check them out on my channel.
As of today I have some other exciting news my good friend, and wonderfully, talented artist has announced her Design Team and I am one of them!
The Gina B Ahrens Design Team consists of Jeri Bellini of My Arts and Parts , Michelle Mitchell of Lady Blue Studios, Cindy Utter of Artsy Endeavors and me of Anneliese's Creations!
I am so excited and I can't wait to show you all what I have planned using Gina's amazing stamps and stencils.
