Magical Gifts

Hello everyone! Thanks so much for all the touching comments on our 3rd Collaboration painting! We really appreciate it! :D

I wanted to share my Halloween swap card I sent out to Becky of www.beckyshander.com. My swap was an ATC (Artist Trading Card), which is 2.5" X 3.5". I'm so glad she liked it. :)

I had so much fun creating this for Becky! It was completely hand stitched and created using fabric, felt, glitter, a crocheted flower, brads & acrylic paints.

Also, Thank You sweet Sanda of http://cardsanddreams.blogspot.com/ for passing the Kreativ Blogger Award! Sanda is a fabulous artist and also a member of my art journaling group. Sanda creates lovely handmade cards, collages, beautiful paintings and so much more. Please visit her site when you get a chance. Thanks again Sanda!

Alice Lisa

Happy November! Hope you all had a great Halloween! I think I devoured ate too much chocolate, if that's even possible.


Last month I shared one of my submissions for Somerset Studio The Art of Paper and Mixed Media here. This happens to be not only another submission, but also the third collaboration with the hubby, Marc!


Just in case you didn't know, the submission request was for an "Alice in Wonderland Theme" due out in the March/April 2010 issue. And since the much anticipated movie from Tim Burton is also coming out, they asked us to "feel free to interpret Alice through Tim Burton's eyes".


And to finish off our third collaboration idea, we were surely inspired as well by Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa aka La Gioconda, hence was created...
"Alice Lisa".

Thanks again for all your touching support & comments! We really appreciate it! And if you haven't already, the poll for our next collaboration is still on my sidebar.

Creative Blessings,
Marc & Lisa :)

Magical Blessings

Hello creative lovelies! First off, I'd like to say *T*H*A*N*K*S* again to all of you for peppering me with positive vibes regarding my Halloween party/Kindred Cuties and my latest Kindred Sisters painting. I feel so lucky to have your support in my art! It means so much! You are all *S*T*A*R*S*!

Here is my entry for the first challenge at The Play Date Cafe.

Mixed Media ACEO
Size: 2.5" X 3.5"
Meet Fiona, #6 from my series of Kindred Cuties.

Sweet Julie of http://juliesopenwindow.blogspot.com/ has designed this week's challenge.

Julie says:
"Each week, someone from our design team will be your host. What does that mean? It means the color choices and the inspiration behind those colors are chosen personally by that week's host. You never know what story may come with that inspiration, so be ready for anything."

I am so glad to have the chance to participate in this weekly inspiration. Not only does it encourage my creativity, it also comes with a sweet incentive: a weekly prize and badge to the one lucky winner.

I'll try my very best to create for all the fun challenges to come. I really enjoyed making this one for the grand 1st Challenge event. If you'd like to join me for this challenge or the next, visit The Play Date Cafe and/or Julie for more details.

Thanks again for your visit and support! I plan to list Fiona on ebay later today (*update* tomorrow). Keep watch as well, I'll be revealing the other Kindred Cuties from my Halloween Party soon too.

Magical Blessings,
Lisa :)

Giveaway Announcement + Spooky Funhouse Pt. 2

Welcome back Halloween Party Guests! Below is Part 2 to the Halloween Spooky Funhouse! If you didn't get a chance to check it out, here is the link to Part 1. For the Giveaway announcement, just scroll down to the end of this post. Thanks again for coming to my party and participating in my Giveaway!


**THE SPOOKY FUNHOUSE PART 2**

Anne and Bridget find themselves getting lost in the spooky corridors just like Celeste and Diana. They all wished they would have arrived to the Spooky Funhouse together.

After what seemed like forever, Anne and Bridget wound up at the beginning of the whole funhouse. They find shy Emma walking alone and within seconds before beginning to cry of fright and loneliness.

"Aah Anne! Bridget! You don't know how glad I am to see you. I was so excited to come here and visit. I was hoping we'd find each other here." They all embraced each other in happiness and decided to start over again, at least again for Anne and Bridget.

They took Emma down the same spooky halls to find the magical art quilts that led them to the room of crafts once again. All three of them were so happy to find Celeste and Diana there making quilts as well. They had found each other. All Kindred Cuties together at last. They waited together while Celeste, Diana and Emma completed their party favor ornies.

The creator did not in fact have to repeat the instructions again because this time around Anne did all the teaching of what she had learned. The creator just gave her a quick wink.

As they were leaving the room of crafts, the creator reminded them once again that their party favors would be at the exit when they left. They all waved goodbye to the lovely creator and went down a corridor that neither groups had walked through.


They began to hear soft music playing on a piano. It sounded like there was someone playing in the actual room with them. They were very thankful that it wasn't creepy music at all. The music began to speed to a more playful sound as they entered a glow in the dark room. All five Kindred Cuties held onto each others hands really tight. They took one step at a time and felt like they were in another world. The music began to get louder and the glow in the dark room began to feel like it was moving.


It was a small room filled with fun mirrors all around.



The Kindred Cuties all giggled together.


They even danced to the music as they walked over to each different mirror.





They loved looking at their funny reflections.


They couldn't stop from laughing out loud!


Emma didn't want to play at first, then did it anyway. Who could resist?

They finally contained themselves as they exited the room. They were greeted with more surprise art quilts on the walls.





Anne opened a door and found a shocking scare...

"Wait...what is that!....It's a MMmmummmY!! RUNNNNN!" Anne yelled as she held onto Diana's hand. All Kindred Cuties began to run and open all doors for possible exits as they passed them.


"It's the Headless Horseman!" Celeste screamed as they ran down another hallway. Emma and Bridget were last but not far behind.


They looked back and realized that they were not being chased by anyone. They were running for nothing.

All Kindred Cuties felt almost out of breathe. They all wanted to find the nearest exit. Turn after turn was another dead end, then a door with an exit sign on it creaked open out of nowhere. All Kindred Cuties looked at it and at each other with quick glances of frightened surprise.


Their fright quickly went away when they opened the door to find a Jack O' Lantern dancing to show the real exit door. They all began to giggle in relief.

As they reached the door the Creator came out of nowhere.



"Don't forget your party favors and your 'Halloween Ornies' print outs", she sweetly said.





All the Kindred Cuties waved goodbye with big smiles.
