Riikka’s Creative Christmas Calendar

Several months ago a blogger named Riikka contacted me and asked if I'd be a part of her Creative Christmas Calendar.  Essentially, she's doing a kind of artistic advent calendar with a new project from a different artist each day until Christmas.  She has hosted a wonderful collection of artists who have shared beautiful artsy holiday creations.  I was featured last week with this tag:

You can read what I shared about the tag here.  See the whole series here.

I've been a very lucky girl with some nice mentions across the internet lately:  I want to thank May Flaum for the shout out in her "Top 12 of 2012" blog post.  Thanks also to Ann Butler for interviewing me for Bella Crafts Quarterly.  You can see my interview if you click on "Artist to Artist" in the table of contents.  And finally thank you to Janet Joehlin who wrote a lovely article all about Art Journal Every Day on her blog.  I appreciate all the kindness and generosity of those bloggers and artists who have mentioned me.  Thank you!

And, if you were interested in my class, "Dirty Fingers Clean Design," from True Scrap 4, you can buy my class only for just $9.95:

It's kind of a killer class, if I do say so myself.  :)

Thanks for stopping by!

  • I just took your class! TOTALLY AWESOME!! I loved seeing your creations come alive, and having you narrate the process.
    I had one of your layouts earmarked in my CK mag forever… then ran across one of your layouts on Pinterest… knew it was yours right away!
    Thanks for being a continuing source of inspiration! Now I need to go dirty up my fingers to make some clean designs!
