Sacrifice to Save a Life

By Laura, November 20th, 2010 at 11:51 am

Jeannie painting with acrylics on canvas board

My 14 year old daughter, Jeannie has created a painting called, “Sacrifice to Save a Life” and entered it into the national Reflections art program. This year the theme is, “Together we can…”. Many of her peers have created artwork for this theme around the ideas of recycling and saving the earth. But Jeannie wanted to express that she believes that people are more important and worth working together for. Her painting speaks of how we can each give a handful of rice and therefore together we can save a starving country.

Jeannie’s 16″ X 20″ painting, “Sacrifice to Save a Life”. November 2010

“And let us consider

how we may spur one another on

toward love and good deeds…”

Hebrews 10:24

Peace

By Laura, November 12th, 2008 at 11:32 am

I created this card for two challenges that are new to me. Friday Sketchers has a sketch that I followed and Daring Cardmakers asks that we add sparkle and bling to our cards. My card features Layers of Color Flower Child art stamp set as the focal point. I’ve also used Layers of Color Fleur Heart art stamp set on the petals and center of the flower. The background is created with handmade papers.

Flower Child Baby Shower

By Laura, November 11th, 2008 at 3:59 pm

Inspired by a friend that had a baby last week, here’s a collection of rubber stamped paper arts that are designed around a baby shower theme using Layers of Color Flower Child art stamp set.

For the mother who doesn’t know if it’s a boy or girl, this aqua, white and brown color combination works beautifully. The “B” emblem is raised up off of the card with foam tape. The embossing is done with Cuttlebug embossing dies. And it’s colored with pencil, markers, gel pen and Brilliance Coffee Bean brown ink (which has a lovely shimmer!).

And finally, to close out a memorable time with family and friends, a Thank You card sending sweet love. The Thank You and the left heart are raised up off the card with foam tape. Hope this collection has inspired you!

Penny Found

By Laura, September 25th, 2008 at 11:19 pm

Coins are the theme at Layers of Color Challenge this week. Here’s my artwork. I hope this Gothic Arch inspires you!

Remember discovering a coin on the ground when you were a child, and how exciting that was? I would pick it up and sing, “Find a penny, pick it up!…all day have good luck!”. My children would call the shiny ones, “girls”. I still look for found coins, but instead of picking them up, I point them out to any nearby children, just to see their smiles shine!
