Hey!  Let me start this post by sharing with you all that my colleague is doing better.  They are not ruling out heart issues yet but at least she's good and being tested. Other than that... what's new?!?  Well I have done a video to share with you all what I have been up too!  So you can check it out for yourself.  Who knows you might be inspired to start one of those projects yourself :) Have a great rest of the week. Hugs

Good evening everyone.  I hadn't planned on making a post tonight or anything crafty related actually but I really needed to keep my mind occupied.  One of my colleague left work tonight by ambulance.  She was having chest pains and very low blood pressure.  I would ask for those of you that do pray to keep her in your prayers. The best thing to do was to do some mixed media.  I had just received today 3 stencils from Tim Holtz that I didn't have.  I had played with one while on my mini retreat with Erin and really really really wanted it! I have made a little video of my process here And here are the 4 little cards that I made.  They measure 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches.  I used lots of paints and of course collage papers, magazine cut outs and my new stencils. I really like how they are all different but somehow related at the same time since the colors are all the sames in different amounts.  The base for those is a game.  I just thought it was the perfect size to play

Hey everyone!  Hope you had a great day today.  If you celebrated the 4th of July that you got to spend time doing what you wanted and just chilled. I'm here to share with you my latest endeavor.  I had been wanting to create a journal in a little tin box for awhile but the time never seemed to arrise.  But now I finally got the chance to do it having found a great little tin at a garage sale. I'm doing a flip through of it here And here is the picture of it.  I didn't alter the tin because I thought it wasn't required it was cute anough as it was.  And who knows it might be an antique one day lol I'm entering this tiny little journal in the following challenges: Artistic inspirations challenges  - Anything goes Crafting from the heart challenge  - Anything goes Craft your passion challenges  - anything goes The papernest dolls challenge  - anything goes That's it for tonight.  Hope you liked it.  If you watch my video and like it don't fo

Hello!  Happy Indepence Day to all our American friends!  I had my holiday on Friday being from Canada so today it's back to work I go.  I hope that you will get to enjoy this day with family or doing some crafting :) I'm here for my inspiration post of the month over at Karleigh Sue and this time I played with my "En Masse" journal.  This is a little junk journal that I made where I put down multiples of an image of something that I liked or that inspired me to collect it and glue it down.  There's something about glueing paper down that brings back the kid in us!!! Anyway, I can't do a simple glueing down... I seem to need to personalize it a bit and that's where the fabulous digis from Karleigh Sue came in.  The page that I'm sharing today is with a collection of lipstick and of course there was a PERFECT digi to go with this.  I also found an awesome sentiment while doing a google search and I thought it totally completed the pages. The digi

WOW where does the time go?!?  Anyway it's the 1st of July and I just realized that all the post that I'm sharing today are from Canadian artists!!!  How cool is that?  So if you missed the other ones check it out. This post is about Oddball design.  There's a wonderful FB challenge and you can do WHATEVER you want so long as you use an Oddball image.  This time I chose to make something with a digi that I colored while away with my friend Erin (which I miss a LOT right now!!!).  And I used an index card that had left over paint as a background :)  super fast and easy and most of all FUN. The image that I used is  Image 297 Here is the make: I had a big stamp that I purchased from a liquidation at my local craft store and I finally used the words from it here!!!  The image was colored with both copics (the fairy)  and colored pencils (all the books).   I also added some gelli roll pen on the wings.  I fussy cut her out.  And I used my Faber castell pen to edge it
