Yes, it was truly a bliss to have a little extra time to work in my studio this past weekend, after getting my house chores done. There were no major projects, but they allowed me to experiment with new media and were fun to work on. God is good!

| Art and Creativity Mixed Media Tag Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2013 - September Artists in Blogland - Show & Tell Saturday Simon Says Monday Challenge - Stamping All Stars |
In "Art and Creativity," I got to experiment with different layering techniques to create the background, as well as with Tim Holtz kraft glassine paper and Pearl-Ex powdered pigments.
In the "All Seeing Eye of God," which was inspired by 2 Chronicles 16:9, I illustrated the eye freehand and designed a freestanding tag/frame that simulates a Church window.

| Singin' in the Rain Collage ATC Inspiration Avenue - Joy Through Your Art ABC Wednesday - H is for Top Hats Try it on Tuesday - 3 Different Fancy Edges Jen's in the Studio Manon's Paper Saturdays |
In "Singin' in the Rain," I re-purposed an old ATC I made a while back as my background, used a scrap from a Tim Holtz umbrella man die, and got to practice my hand lettering skills.

| Innocence Pen and Ink Twenty Minute Challenge Art Journal Journey - Less Is More Journal Journey's Challenge #23 - Childhood Jenn's Artist's Playroom #73 - Food Alexandra's Sunday Sketches |
In "Innocence," I got back into the practice of doing timed 20-minute sketches, which I believe help me sharpen my observational skills, develop my fluidity of line, and increase my confidence.

| 52 Photos Project: Gallery 20 {At the End of the Day} What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 222 Sandy Steen Bartholomew Challenge #7 |
Last, but not least, I have 2 photographs of some amazing products on my drafting table, which made the end of day when I received them much more pleasant! I purchased the products on the left at Simon Says Stamp, with a $50 gift certificate that I won at their Wednesday Challenge blog. (Well, I spent about $25 more, so that I could receive free shipping. LOL!) You may have noticed that I used most of the Tim Holtz products to make the art pieces in this week's post. I won the tangle cards on the right through a challenge hosted by Sandy Steen Bartholomew. They feature 40 tangle patterns, as well as a puzzle on the back of the 9 info cards. I can't wait to share them with my gifted and talented students. Thank you Simon Says and Sandy for your generosity!
In closing, I want to thank everyone who took the time to leave a comment in my last post. I thoroughly enjoyed them, and made a point to reciprocate with a comment in their blogs. Blessings!

I like the very first picture on your post best of all - the colours and the gentleness of it. Well done.
Have a great week.
