Happy New Year! Today not only kicks off the new year but also it's the beginning of the new More than Words Challenge site and I'm proud to be joining the wildly talented international design team!

Word Inspiration - PERSONALITY Creative Challenge - SELFIE This was quite the challenge for me because I'm not into taking photos of myself so please keep that in mind as you view my project. Most definitely...

Poppies and Happy New Year 25

Hi! I hope you are enjoying the holiday season! I've been having fun learning various paintbrush strokes as I explore the oil painting world. This art journal page was inspired by a Nancy Medina how to video that I received as a Christmas gift from my sweet husband ~ Scott :) I'm just a few strokes away from tackling a canvas! I also have a rather clean and simple Happy New Year card to share featuring a star shaped shaker full...

Hi! I hope you are enjoying the magic of the holiday season! Angie will be flying to Buffalo on Christmas Eve to spend Christmas with her Dad and his family so we are celebrating Christmas a day early here. I took a break from shopping and wrapping presents to paint in my art journal. I've been having so much fun trying new techniques and learning various strokes with my paintbrushes and oil paints. I'm discovering a whole new world of art...

Happy Holidays 28

Hi! Today I had a chance to sit down and create so I made a couple last minute Christmas cards featuring a beautiful cardinal inspired by a Ginger Cook on line painting lesson. I painted two versions, one with a darker background and one with a blue background. Both were painted using acrylic paints and the sentiments were stamped and embossed using a MFT stamp. Many thanks for visiting ~ I hope you have a great weekend! Be...

Hi! I'm so happy when I am able to combine painting with card making! Today I have a christmas card to share featuring a sweet and chunky black capped chickadee. I'm studying various painting techniques and styles under a few different artists with an effort to develop my own. I was inspired to paint this little guy by a painting lesson I took from Ginger Cook.  He's my first attempt to paint a bird. He's a bit fluffier than I had anticipated...

Merry Christmas 25

Mona Pendleton | Tuesday, December 15, 2015 @ 5:01 AM | ,

Hi! Today I have a set of rather clean and simple cards to share featuring a pretty wreath from a PTI stamp set. I stamped the wreath then die cut using various dies from my stash. The background was dry embossed using an embossing folder:  I found it a little challenging trying to line up and stamp the berries in the correct spot.  For color inspiration, I joined along with the paper players challenge:  and for sketch...

Pink Poppies 29

Mona Pendleton | Sunday, December 13, 2015 @ 9:52 PM | , , , ,

Hi! Lately I've been struggling to create much of anything. Maybe it's because we've been in our new home now since April and I still have a few blank walls that are crying for some artwork. I really want to paint a few pieces to fill the spaces but I need to practice, practice, practice. So I think I need to limit the time I spend papercrafting other than the few design team commitments I have and focus on painting.  Here's my first oil...
