Hey, Kara here!



And, bear with me, I am *this* close to violently attacking blogger. Watch out.

It's so pretty and fresh around here, no? I love checking in here and and admiring it. Thank you again, Mandi!


Let's see.... Can you believe June is halfish over? Yeah, I cannot. Allright, now to what you wannna see.


The new prompt is:


Magazine/Catalog Images!


This is a prompt I am super excited about. I LOVE working with catalog and magazine images. They add so much.


Use the actual picture as your picture for the page. Look out for fun patterns and textures to use like you would patterned paper. Find words and phrases that pop out to you and use them like titles. Use a whole page as a background.


All types of art are welcome. Minis, layout, ATC, art journalling, home decor, mixed media collage, paitning. Maybe frame a bunch of your fav magazine images. Maybe an ode to Johnny Depp. Whatever. :)


I am super excited to announce the Guest Designer for this prompt, the fabulous miss Amber Ulmer. Amber is SUPER sweet and she was so excited for the prompt, made me smile. Her artwork is beautiful and I was so glad to have her talent on the blog.


Here is her UH-mazing layout-


Beautiful and bright, no? Thanks, Amber!

Let's see.... Kimmie and Rhi are off globe trotting. Little jerks. ;) BUT, check back next prompt and we'll have everybody. Maybe. :)

A layout I made a few days ago, with a catalog picture.

And sometime I am going to get around to posting the mini I've been making. I can't get my act together and my room is in a state of mass chaos due to painting. It'll be up sometime soon. :)


I do not care.

Here is Mandi's (per usual!), frickin' awesome mini-


Awesome, right? Want it? ;)

Mandi is giving this gorgeous mini off to our favorite "prompter". Make some ART, post it up, and get in the running for this pretty. So, get on it!

Don't forget to check back in on the 30th, for another prompt and prettiness! I LOVE this prompt, so excited!

Oh, and thank you all for the awesome participation last go-round! Awesome stuff!

EDITED: Here is my (Kara) mini! Finally uploaded. More can be seen on my SIS. Thanks!


So this ONE time.... Mini *The Art is Found*

I found a picture in the latest issue of my monthly magazine read and just had to play along - it kind of spoke to me.

I will upload it to your flickr group and you can find it also here:

Sorry ladies! I suppose I am late but I just discovered (thank you Rhi!) that the prompt fitted perfectly to one of my newest LO...I know it's not the proper way to do it but I finally decided to share it with you.
I promise I will come back more often now. The TAIF girls are one of my most favorite people ever!!! Thank you all, you are so talented! Love your work!
