I've been catching up on my work after a week of being down with the crud. It left me in a tired funk which was not really conducive to getting much done. I have finished up several blog banners and am working on other items to coordinate with this one for Karen at Karen Eileen designs.

I was delighted to finally get to dig onto Linda's new blog banner. She let me pick things from her blog to use as well as some pictures I asked to send. She wanted something a bit more contemporary so I had fun putting this banner together for her and used her new painting as the background. I love the colors.

As you can see by my new look, I have still been playing with Halloween goodies. Vicki was inspired by the witchy banner I posted earlier and asked if I could make her a banner to coordinate with the look I already created for her so I did a little retouching and voila:

On the flip side I have also been in the studio packing some last minute orders, playing with glue and paper and fooling around on my sewing machine for a holiday swap I am involved in with 11 artsy friends. We are doing a 12 days of Christmas swap a la Lelainia Lloyd and we have all been busy little elves keeping holiday secrets... You can visit our blog here and keep tabs on our antics.
