I'm back for one last post.  This one will have lots of pictures however.  It's a little album that I made using some paper bags for signatures and some cardboard box for the cover.  I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I made all kinds of sections and then had the 6 of us write on a little card what was our favorite things. So here's the cover I used a bunch of different tags and papers from my stash as well as from Simple stories.  Love those little sentiments and things. The letters are from October afternoon.  I used a little brad and ribbon as the closer. Here's the side view of all the signatures tied together.  As mentioned all the signature were done with some paper bags.  I used some metal beads as well.  Here's the backview of the album.  I used some paper that I wrinkled up and some old book pages as well.  Here's the look opened up.  The 1st section was about the favorite season.  I use...

Here's another really fast little post this time using the image from  From the heart stamps .  I figured this one would be awesome on my youngest son's b-day card.

Hello!  OH my god were did the month of June go?!?  It's already the 29th.... and I haven't posted some of my makes to make sure that I can get next month's image....  I have done the item... just having issues posting it lol So here are some fast little blog post just for that! I journaled the super sweet image Poppy from Anne's Digital Art.  I used a piece of design paper from a magazine and edged it.  I used some tattered angel sprays on the image and doodled all aroun.  I also used a great sentiment from Unity stamps that I think is very fitting for me. So as mentioned this is for the great challenge over at  Outlawz challenges Hugs

Barton  Violet Fairy  and I decided to journal with her. I used all papers in my pile of scraps.  I used 2 flowers that I made using my Tim Holtz frayed flower die and I used some bead that I melted for the center.  I added some lace that I add in my stash for the bow and under the image.  The frame was done using my label 40 decorative accent from Spellbinder.  The verse is a page of an old book that I cut.  I thought it was just an awesome verse for me.

I've got a very short post to share with you.  I made a card using a great image from Tiddly ink!  And I think it's totally perfect for the gothic challenge that they have going on right now!

OMG I'm having such a hard time making sure to post on my blog.... it shouldn't be hard but yeah just finding something to write is harder than it seems.... Anyway maybe that's to tell me to keep it short lol  I'm here today to share with you a make for Doodle Pantry . Even when I'm feeling blah the colored images help me create something!  And I figured you always need to prepare for Christmas ahead because that is one type of card that I use a lot! For this make I used the super sweet set Winter Bear . and I used a great sentiment from the set Salutations Françaises Here's my card with the fabulous precolored image.

Well the new showcase challenge over at Art By Mi Ran  is anything but a square card!  And if you have followed me you know that I'm working on a coffee altered children book.  This was a great occasion to do something on this. The image that I used is  Afternoon Aileen .  She was just perfect for my little book! I used a new paint call Verday Paint on this to make it look like metal  on some left over scrounge up papers from a box.  I used some prima chalk all around the page to give a bit of a distressed look.  I used my spellbinder large circle to cut out the sentiment.  The sentiments come from  Create with TLC I colored this sweet little image with my copics.  And I think she was just perfect for this.  What do you think?!? I'm going to be entering this little book in some challenges later on. Hope you have a great Wednesday. Hugs

I have way too many cards and trying to get through the stash of them... The background was made using my oil pastels, baby oil and some stencils from Creative memories.  The image was colored with my copics and then fussy cut.  I used a great sentiment from  Create with TLC I'm entering this little ATC in the following challenges: Simply paper crafts for all occassions  - Anything goes Fab n funky challenges  - Gorgeous girls Hope you have a great Monday!!!

I really love the new release images from  SLS Lines  you can get them Voodoo King  and Voodoo Queen  and I just thought they would be perfect for making some little door hangers. I found those door hangers that you can use chalk on at the dollar store.  And just thought I would make something with them for sure!  At the time I wasn't sure. And when I saw this great couple of images I just knew this would be perfect for my son and his girlfriend! I left the chalk on them but changed the boring elastic for some hair band that I thought would be more fun. The letters that I used are from Anna Griffin and from October Afternoon.  I colored the 2 images with my copics and then fussy cut them out. They came out pretty cool and they were well liked by the recipients so that's all that matters really isn't it?!? I'm entering those in the following challenges: Left of center challenges  - Well I did add the fiber... but I still think this ...

I have a cute little ATC to share with you this morning that was made with a great image from  Doodle Pantry . I used one of the great set that was released in the month of May called  Pelican Dream When seeing this little set I really want to go on vacation.

If you are part of the FB group of  Rick St-Dennis Digis and Friends  you have seen the great challenge that Rick put out there.... and if you didn't well you should be part of the group so that you don't miss out the next time around!!!!!! His challenge was to send an e-mail to him and to put cute/dark/surprise in the title and he would pick what to send to us.  I put surprise of course because I really love being challenged.  That's how I learn and do stuff different! And I just had to smile when I got my digi because Rick sent me Peace Angel .  And since my depression some peace would be totally awesome in my mind.... I've been doing lots of darker pages of what's in my mind lol so this was a nice change! I tried something different... I made some masks of clouds with some post its.  Then I used my Bashful blue, brilliant blue and ballet blue from Stampin up.  I applied it all over and then sprayed a bit of water to be able to blend it better....

My next mini post is about the cute little digi for the great progressive challenge over at  Gerda steiner designs . This time around I made a little toilet paper midori album for a swap.  There's lots of videos out there that show it to you and I did share one in a previous post on Monday. I used some paper from an amazon purchase to crush it all up and create the faux letter effect. The closure is done with elastic bands for hair.  I added some little charms to the side.  The sentiment was done using October afternoon letters. Here's a look at the back of it and the open version with lots of little tags and all kinds of fun things I used a bunch of papers and things that I got in packages from friends and from swaps. That's it entering this little make in the progressive challenge  Gerda steiner designs . Hugs

This time I have something to share with you that will not be entered in a challenge... it was made just for me for the fun of it. I told you guys that I had taken a class with dylusion paint and sprays with the great Gisel Cabral over at Scrapbook Central.  That class really help put some color in a very bleery day for me.... and so I did the 2 pages for the class... but then I played while others were working shhhhhh.... with the left over paint that I had and I came up with this page with the great silhouette. I had no clue what to do with that page.... until I came across that little frog in a magazine that I was reading.  And there is the finished page.  Just for the fun of it. I figured I would share some doodling just for the fun of it.... :) Hugs

I'm going to do some very very fast posts this morning because well I haven't really felt like blogging much but I really want to make sure to enter those makes in the progressive challenge! Here's the cute little digi Diver Daniel from Deedee Anderson that I used in my camping smash book.  I thought he would make a perfect little decoration to a future page. I used the precolored version that made it even better for me! I used a sizzix ornament label die to cut out the sentiment and used a great sentiment as well from Create with tlc that I thought would be great for this opening page! I'm entering this in the progressive challenge of  DeeDee Challenge I have some more little short short post coming :) Hugs
