A Dog Wags Its Tail With Its Heart

I'm the proud mom of a 11-year old long-haired tweenie dachshund who's name is Shamrock.  He is full of love and personality and I can't imagine a day without him!  He is always thrilled to see me when I get home and he loves, loves, loves his treats and belly rubs.  I realized that I hadn't made any dachshund-related mixed-media collages....until now!  Life is good!...thanks for visiting...xoxoxo...

You Make My Heart Sing

"You Make My Heart Sing" is an original one of a kind 8" X 8" mixed media collage that I made using paper, stencils, mod podge, acrylic paints, alcohol ink, American Crafts Dear Lizzy Collection, Prima Marketing Printery Stamp set, modeling paste and rub-ons from 7 Gypsies.  The fabulous vintage pic printed on metal is courtesy of 'Industrial Chic'. 

I love working with the various mediums, stamps, stencils, paints, papers and inks that are available today. There happens to be a little birdie peeking through this canvas - can you find her? I love the serious expressions you find in the vintage pics - I wonder if they were ever truly happy!?! Thanks for visiting...xoxoxoxoxo

Shine Bright

"Shine Bright" is an original one of a kind 11" X 14" mixed media collage that I made using paper, Christy Tomlinson's She Art 6x6 Mask Vintage Lace, mod podge, acrylic paints, alcohol ink, stamps, modeling paste and Christy Tomlinson's She Art Rubons Doilies and Doodle Flowers and 7 Gypsies rubons.  

A friend of mine says that this stencil reminds her of a pizzelle. Do you agree??...lol

This is My Happy Place

"This is My Happy Place" is an original one of a kind 11" X 14" mixed media collage that I made using strips of scrapbook paper, stencils, mod podge, acrylic paints, alcohol ink, stamps, modeling paste and rub-ons from Kaisercraft.   

I love adding houses to bright colored backgrounds.  And I might share a few happy thoughts along the way...

You Are Just My Type

"You Are Just My Type" is an original, one of a kind, 6' X 12' mixed media collage that I made using paper, October Afternoon washi tape, Balzar Designs 'Stripes' stencil, mod podge, acrylic paints, alcohol ink, stamps, modeling paste and rub-ons.  I took a vintage black & white advertisement and colored it with ink.  

He is cleary a very focused and busy professional who loves using his typewriter.  I love the expression on his face as he works on his love letter!!  Thanks for stopping by!! xoxoxoxo

Road Trip - You Are Here

I wanted to have a little fun with this piece.  I love, love, love vintage car ads but why not add your random dinosaur when the opportunity arises! This particular dinosaur came from Retro Cafe Art and his name is Triceratops.  Maybe his friends T-Rex and Brontosaurus  will visit... 

 You never know what you'll see on your next Road Trip! Enjoy the journey...xoxoxoxo
