I want to try!

I found a technique I'd love to try and it seems fairly simple and inexpensive.  It's called Scratch Foam Block Printing and I found it on Daria's blog Glitter Goods a blog that is already on my blog roll to the left.

Good blog find and treats from the scrapbook shop

Found another altered / mixed art blog I like, Altered Bits by Cindy.  I like her altered Bingo cards, I have some that I'm waiting for just the right project for!

I had a gift certificate to the scrapbook shop here in town and went there after having some cavities filled the other day.  Before I knew it I had spent more time at the scrapbook shop than at the dentist's office.  Thank goodness my mother-in-law didn't mind playing with Urban for a few hours!

I'll post some pics of what I brought home from the scrapbook store and my progress of the puzzle pieces I'm altering.

More Creative Finds

I got a recommendation from my friend Stephanie and the lady at TKE for another artist guide; SARK I've just skimmed her blog enough to know I need some committed time there! She also has SARK Journal.

Another I found while exploring; Creative Slush by Chris Dunmire.
Other blogs by Chris; Current Living, Coaching Your Creativity

Creativity Portal is another artistic find I like how Chris listed these as 'Creativity Playgrounds'.
