Logo Challenge

A few days ago, I participated in a Logo Challenge on my beloved Scrapblog.com. You were supposed to turn your name into a logo by using contrasting fonts then create a fun layout including the logos you made. I LOVE typography, so I had fun making these. I'm thinking about making more (since I have nothing better to do with my time than make layouts of my name.) Anyway, I thought I'd share them with you...Bet you can't guess my fave!?!

(This 1st page includes an explanation that it's a challenge entry)

Exciting Announcement!!

The Exciting News is....

I'm starting a new business!
I have either gone crazy or have found my calling, I can't decide which. If you personally know me, you probably know that I am a crafty scrapbooker. I also love to paint and since last May, I have wondered if I could/should/would start up a little business (that's almost a year of incubation time!) So I started painting gifts for friends here and there and have prayed over what it is I should do. Well, I'm getting the go-ahead, so here it is...

It's strictly an online business and since I'm just starting out, I will keep it local~serving Northwest Arkansas. I create original and custom artwork on canvas, funky frames, cute door hangers, personalized letters of the alphabet, and some other fun accessories.
So PLEASE visit my site http://www.fiddlesticksart.blogspot.com/ and check back frequently for updates. I will post new items as I complete them, but I will be posting some of my past work there very soon. Let me know if you have questions, suggestions or just a comment. This is both very exciting and scary for me, so anything you'd like to add, I would appreciate!

My Latest Layouts

I first want to apologize for the quality of these photos. They look ok on the camera then I upload them & they are really glarey and/or blurry. But I'm posting them anyway!
I'm so glad that I've been making time for scrapbooking lately. I haven't been going all out~just keeping it simple to increase the quantity of completed pages so that maybe I will get caught up before Mason graduates from high school!
