Highlights from My 1st Art Show Video

So many of you have stopped by and seen my art show video. If you haven't click here.  Kelly's Art Show

Glad you all liked it. One person said she felt so relaxed watching it she is going to use it as a stress buster! LOL!

I wanted to highlight a few of my favorites from the video. First, the drawing of my mother-in-law turned out so great. This was from her wedding picture and she looked so beautiful. I can't wait to make a copy and take it to her.

The original
Another picture from the video I really loved was my rainbow girl. I was inspired my another artist who did a girl with rainbow colored hair. After seeing that I just had to try it. Here are some detail about her.



I loved using book pages as apart of the background. Also, since the book was inspirational if adds strength to her.

I liked using some old rub-on words like dreams, friend, true. Also it was fun sprinkling white paint around.

I used a stencil to create the butterflies. The soft pastel colors were just perfect for Spring. Also, I just love how her hair and facial expressions turned out. She looks so content and peaceful.

Well, I hope you enjoyed learning a little more about this pictures.  I am drawing more and hope to have more to share with you all soon. Have a nice weekend!

    Gorgeous work ... I love the transparency you achieved in the veil that your mother in law wore, and your rainbow girl is wonderful as well. Great job.

Emmy's 2010

Did you watch the red carpet last night for the Emmy's? I love watching these award show red carpets more than the show itself.  I just saw the pictures online. One the sites I looked at was radaronline.com. These pictures are from there. First, I liked the navy blue one.  The dress had lots of drama and she wore it well. The purple one was interesting.  Still trying to decide if I like it. Maybe it would have been better with the layers on the bottom but not both.  I really love the color and the idea. Maybe a little too much going on. radaronline.com This next dress worn by Eva Longoria was so pretty. The black flowers on the bottom of the dress was so stunning! She looked  great, too. I wonder how the dress would look in a lighter color? Maybe the floral details would show up better. radaronline.com Out of  all the dresses I saw these were the most interesting ones. I was a little disappointed there weren't more WOW dresses. Also, there were s...

Valentine's Cards

Happy belated Valentine's Day. I hope it was a sweet one for you all. I just love making greeting cards for this holiday.  Nornally for Valentine's I make red and black cards which I love but this year I decided to add some pastel colored cards to my collection. Earlier this year, I made some cards with this beautiful paper pad from Michael's. I loved it so much, I just had to see if I could use it for Valentine's and they look great to me. Details:  Recollections Paper is from Michael's 6x6 paper pad called "Blush and Mint."  Flowers made with my Spellbinders scalloped circles.  Take a look! Do you feel the love? LOL! Cards are 5x7 in size. See the heart in the center? Love that idea!     Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day!

My Birthday Blog Party

Welcome to my Birthday Blog Party! I am starting my celebration early to fully enjoy my day. My actual birthday is May 29th but why not start early right? :) When I think of birthdays past, they were always such exciting times for me. Many of my birthdays were celebrated with fun parties from my childhood to my young adult years. I loved all of those special parties and to this day, I still love it. Maybe this is where my love for event planning all started. At my 3rd birthday, my parents gave me a big one. I don't really remember but the pictures are so cool. I had lots of kids there, a clown, a little merry-go-round ride and lots of games. I had a white little outfit on and was looking so cute for a Spring party. Boy, I looked so happy! Also, I was brave not to be afraid of the clown, too. My mom was holding me as I blew the candles out. Another year, I had my first slumber party. That was so fun! I invited several friends and ...
