LEFT OF CENTRE - #34 METAL


Theme:  METAL
Digi: Phantom Manor Haunted House


It's the second week over at LOC using RSD images.
This was a toughy for me.
Rick does a spectacular job of sketching out his images; it was tough to pick colors.
But in the end, I was happy with what came about for me.
I added (for the METAL Challenge) an earring, some brads, clips, a pendant and chain.

Let's see whatcha got!

Fly on over to LOC...see ya'll there.

May the Magic of the LBug be yours!

IKE'S WORLD CHALLENGE - MONOCHROME ART


Theme:  MONOCHROME ART
Sponsor:  IKE'S ART
Digi: Miss Whiplash



When I heard "monochrome" I heard me say EEK!


Monochrome is NOT my bag. I am a color person.



The only monochrome in my life are my clothes - black, grey and (white) as an accent.


Then I thought "skin tones are monochrome" and I felt this great big honkin' YES run through me!



It wasn't going to be a dud of a DT design after all (in Spirit I mean!)

So here you have it.
I am in love with Skin Tones.
And as a way of trying Markers other than my all time favourite Sketch Copics that I have used for years,
I am collecting the skin tones in all the different Markers -
Copics, Prismas, Promarkers.

It is SO fun because I have a goal of not hoarding or coveting ALL the colors
like I have with the sketch.
but rather to enjoy the diversity.
 I LOVE coloring skin
though I don't think I am very good at it yet
but I will be!

Hmmm.
I wonder what it feels like to be Monochrome.
I am definitely the "name on the color wheel" that has the most points
"the most colorful"
"the most diverse"
or
"the most unpredictable"
"the most off the wall"

just depends who you are talking to and on which day...

How about you?

WHERE DO YOU FALL FROM COLOR CRAZY TO MONOCHROME CRAZY?



SO NOW!
hike on over to Ike's World Challenge
Let's see whatcha Got!
Don't forget: 
Pick up Ike's Freebie or use an Ike'sArt of your own
In order to Qualify for The Prize.

LEFT OF CENTRE CHALLENGE - CHOSE A MOVIE

LEFT OF CENTRE

Theme:  Movie
SponsorIKE and Stamping Chef
Movie:  Underexposed
Digi:  Fail to Bail
Background:  Scrapbookgraphics.com


I had SO MUCH fun creating this background paper from scratch, using the digital elements that I bought in the Kit.  There were a bazillion possibilities.  And this digi from Stamping Chef...she matched the kit perfectly, which is why I chose her, and she really told the story of the movie Underexposed.














I LOVE challenges for MOVIES!
Underexposed is a Womyn's Skateboarding documovie.
Well worth watching if you had or have a sk8tR in your family.

The digi is so perfect for this movie.
It is called FAIL TO BAIL and is by Stamping Chef.

I hope you will go over to LEFT OF CENTRE and find yourself a movie you love and be the crazy artist and let loose! If you need something to help you let loose...take a watch below of a clip of Underexposed - the Movie I chose for the LOC Challenge.

                                                        ******************************

Movie: City of Angels
Digi: Me Fairy

 I so love this digital design of Ike's.  I find her so feminine and pensive.  From the moment I saw her, I knew the movie I wanted to depict.

City of Angels reminded me of this...
The combo of the digi and the background - the far off look yet the all embracing comfort of the surroundings.

I hope you enjoy her and what I created with the digital elements and papers I had in order to construct the background.

ONE STITCH AT A TIME - #216


Theme:  Use a Digi
Sponsor: Ike's Art
Digi: Greek Series

I really love these sketches of Ike's - and - they were a challenge for me.  I don't paint/draw/sketch architecture.  This was truly fun to do though because I used water colors, one of my fav mediums.   I figured I could only do so much damage that way!



Enjoy!
Samara

PUNK YOU GIRL - #13 STEAMY AND SEXY



BE FOREWARNED THIS ART IS RATHER RACEY!


PUNK YOU GIRL
Theme: STEAMY AND SEXY
Digi:  Pillow Talk


Ooohh Laaa Laaa!  Love this Theme.  It can stay safe, it can go way dark or it can get downright lude and licivious!  So...I cut it down the middle [oh, so atypical for me! lol]

I chose Pillow Talk - yummalicious.  Love this - so much expression, so dreamy, so many ways to imagine this particular sweetie!

The second one I chose is called Floozy and is also available over at Stitchy Bear`s Digi Outlet.  She is gorgeous eh and designed by Barb Jensen.

I've done my thing here, and hope you will over at PUNK YOU GIRL!

NEW DT ASSIGNMENT


I am really happy to say I have joined a team that is not a stamping or digi team.  It is a Challenge that has as its goal to NOT use the above, but to motivate a person to delve into other creative tools, mediums, properties and to create from there.

I love this because I put my mixed media blog to bed a year ago and now it gets resurrected!

What a joyful way to begin summer.

I encourage you to go over to Unstampabelles and check out for yourself what's up.
You will not be disappointed.

June's Theme is Mixed Media
with a twist to Alter Something

As a beginning, I start slowly.
I have altered only my Visual Journal.
I hope to see you next month!

IKE'S WORLD CHALLENGE - SONG INSPIRED

IKE'S WORLD CHALLENGE

Theme:  SONG INSPIRED
Sponsor:  IKE'S ART
Digi:  I Dream of Jeannie [I Dream of Jeannie TV Series]
Digi:  Time in a Bottle [Jim Croce]

FIRST an ACKNOWLEDGEMENT TO IKE
I would like to thank IKE from IKESART.COM and http://suzy-ikesworld.blogspot.ca/ for dreaming up this special digi when I told her that I was thinking I Dream of Jeannie for this theme.
Do email IKE or leave Ike a comment if there is something you are looking for.  She's digi brilliant!



I so loved I Dream of Jeannie.  Everyday after schoool, I would race home and land myself on the chair in the kitchen table and on went the TV with this show, My Three Sons, Green Acres and My Favourite Martian.  This was my TV Line Up.  

But it was Jeannie that had her spell on me.  




I would love to hear from you.

If YOU could have your very own Jeannie, what is the one thing she would do for YOU! 
Keep it clean ladies!!! 
This is a family channel.  Oh, I forgot - it isn't.  HA! I already made that disclaimer in my title!
Bwahahahaha
