I'm so excited, I just can't hide it

Today starts my visiting artist stay at Gingersnap Creations website for the month of March. This is the first time I have been asked to be a part of someone elses website so... I'm so excited , I just can't hide it. It is an honor to be asked by such a talented and inspiring group of artists. Here's what you'll see this month with Gingersnap Creations: the first week is a theme, the second a supply item, the third will be an inspirational image, the fourth a specific color and the fifth week will be random choice. Come take a peak at their site and join in on all the fun, laughter and creativity.

This week's theme is "Get to Work".  I found the quote first, " Is this official business or strictly a social  call.?", and then the image of  the lovely woman with a subtle smile on the old-fashioned telephone from the Graphics Fairy . I just knew they should go together. Some chipboard accents, german scrap, rhinestones, satin roses, tiny flouish stamp and doodled on patterned paper were all added to complete  the piece. My favorite part are the tiny pink rhinestone buttons.

Ok well that's enough of that, I have to "Get to Work" on my next Gingersnap "Creation". LOL.
Artfully yours, Gerri

    I love this. Gorgeous colours and love the image. I spy a typewriter. On a recent post on my Blog I takled about my wish item - an Underwood typewriter.
    You will have a fantastic time at GSC. I was March Muse last year - they are so welcoming.
    Looking forward to more of your GSC artwork.
