Going rogue...

The coolest thing about sharing your art is that you get to learn from others.  I've recently discovered Rogue challenges by Rogue Redhead Designs.  I came about this place by exploring the blog of one of our Wicked Wednesday participants, Beverly.
The current challenge calls for a grid design.  I created this chunky page (4x4 mini pieces of art) to participate in the fun:

Ingredients:
Bazzil cardstock
Ribbon and embellishments from my stash
stamped sentiment
scalloped corners punch by ek success

I am going to also submit this for the anything goes challenge over at Fat Pages with Attitude
Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

Peace and love,
Mary xoxo
P.S. Thanks for the inspiration Bev!

Once again I found my inspiration from lyrics penned by Sal.  He uses words to create a landscape in your mind's eye.  Lucky for me, it's currently posted on his site so you can have a listen.  Click on "Sal's music".  See what kind of picture is created in your mind's canvas.

I'm back!  It's been a while since I've posted work on this site.  I've been working on other projects.

My creativity is in OVERDRIVE and I am totally enjoying it!
This piece was inspired by "The Day Before", a song that my guitar instructor wrote.  Usually it's the lyrics that are the source of my inspiration; but this is not the case this time.
The song is upbeat with a latin flair.  Everytime I listen to it, all I can see is a beautiful flamenco dancer that's swirling furiously in my mind's eye.
Thanks for being a continued source of inspiration Sal!

I'm loving life!
Love and peace,
Mary xoxo
