Hi everyone!  I hope that you are having a fabulous NEW YEAR's EVE.  I spent today having fun and just playing and using some recycling. I have been watching lots of videos on Youtube and wanting to play with new techniques and finally got around to it during the holidays.  I have put some paint on newspapers that I got from my friend Monique Van Dijk to wrap the fab canvas that I purchased from her. I also recycled a bunch of toilet paper rolls :)  Yup it's a great use for all those little rolls!!!  And with a family of 6 I can honestly say that we go through LOTS. You can find the video of the flip through on my Youtube channel here.  And you can purchase my little album in my etsy store here I have used a lot of digi images that I had from Sassy Cheryl.  I went with a theme of flowers because the title of the book is Life in full bloom.  The sentiments on top of the pages are from  Create with TLC .  The ones that are on the...

Hello!  It's been soooo long since I just blogged for the fun of it without a DT make :)  I don't do a lot of blogging anymore I'm pretty busy on my youtube channel and on social medias. I wanted to share with you a little video actually lol for the next make using a great image that I have won from Sherri Baldy.  I have made this for my office and I'm really happy to have it hang there because it brings color and playfulness to the space there! if it's not playing yet it's because it's still uploading... please do come back for it! And here's the actual canvas for your review.  This image was printed super big so that I could put it on there.  The canvas is 8 1/2 x 11 so that gives you an idea of how big this is.

I'm back with another little make for you this month  for the Karleigh Sue inspiration and this time I decided to play just for the fun of it!  You can see how I did with the video that I have done here.  You can see how the background was made as well. I used the great image  Sexy cat lady  to make  a little mixed media index card.  Hope you like this little card. I colored her up with my copics and fussy cut her.  I really had fun making this.  Hope you like it!!! The text was done with some book pages that I have cut out.  I thought it was perfect for this. I'm entering this in the following challenges: Crafting from the heart challenge blog  - Anything goes Love to scrap challenge blog  - Anything goes Not just cards challenges  - Anything goes Simply papercrafts for all occassions  - Anything goes Crafty time challenges  - Anything goes Have a fabulous New Year!!! Hugs

Fae Owl Night  is totally magical and is just the perfect image for a CAS card. I really do love owls.  Probably more so because my dad loves them and whenever I can find a great image with an owl I know that I can make a little card for him just to say hello and that I'm thinking of him.  It's my turn to host the blog at  Faery Ink  and here's the make! But I also know that lots of people love owls and Faeries proably because they are mysterious and so very wise so this new image  Fae owl night  is sure to be a favorite of many.

Hello everyone!  Merry Christmas!!!  Hope you have a fabulous time with your family.  I have a little make for you using a fabulous new image from The east Wind  she's called Big Kitty I decided to make a little journaling using this great image.  I had not done journaling for awhile. I made a little video to share with you all of my process. And here's the picture of it.

I wanted to make a little Christmas card for the 2nd post of the month for my make for Art By Mi Ran  because I am always in need for new Christmas card at this time of year and there are so many fabulous digis at Art by Mi Ran that I wanted to play. For this make I decided to play with the adorable  Beary Sweet . And here's the little card that I came up with.

omg omg omg I'm totally out of it.... I'm posting on the 21st for Karleigh Sue  but I'm late and it's actually the 22nd... I guess I'm one of those that hasn't been nice... I've been really super busy trying to get everything done and I can't believe that I actually missed a DT post.  So very sorry guys. I did this card for a special person that I can't name because I'm not sure that she got the card yet... yeah it's for a woman :) So for this special make I used the fab  Naughty or nice I colored her up with my copics and fussy cut her.  I really had fun making this.  Hope you like it!!!

I'm entering this card in the following challenges: Creative card crew  - Anything goes Sassy studio designs  - 'Tis the season Left of center challenges  - I'm doing pretty LOC.... not the norm that's for ...

Ok so I don't know about you.... but I always ALWAYS end up being late.... not matter how far in advance I start for Christmas.  I always end up adding people to my mailing list, adding home made items WHATEVER always end up late.  And this year as I was telling my husband how I should have started earlier (I started the Christmas card in January, and the gifts in April) he said how I would still end up adding things to my list.... hmmmm.... well he is probably RIGHT. But I'm sure that I'm not the only one right?!? RIGHT?!? please do tell me that I'm not the only one?!?  For my make for the SLS inspiration blog I decided to make a super fast and easy card.  So I really really love the precolored set that are available over at SLS LINES etsy store like this fab  Christmas Graphic set 1  because all the fab elements are all there for you!  They are precolored and you can just print them and go!  How fab is that?!?  This card must have taken ...

Hello!!!  It's Friday YAY that means more time soon to try and finish everything for the holidays as well as having my inlaws over on Saturday for the family party....  YIKES actually now I'm stressed lol. Anyway that's not why I'm here, I'm sharing today the new image from Faery ink called Gabbie lots of love .  This new image was just PERFECT for my bestee's b-day card.  And I'm very pleased to say that she LOOOOVED it!

Oh my... I almost forgot to post my make on the Sparkle and Glitter blog today!!!  Time is just getting away from me because with the holidays I'm trying to finish everything and running out of hours in the day!!!! The good news is that with this cute little make using  Easter Buddies  I finally finished the calendar that I was making for my grandmother!!!  I was missing the month of March and I figured that this cutie would be perfect for it since Easter is in March in 2016. The base of this calendar page was a cereal box and you can see some of the writting through the paint but I think it adds a nice element without having the book paper!  The paper is all a collage of papers from my stash as well as some purple washi tape because I wanted to bring some more of the purple from her dress to the right hand side. I colored the image with my copics and I fussy cut her out.  I really love how cheerful this turned out to be but with this cutie I don...

So that was the perfect make to make my colleague smile!!! I used for the background some photo paper that I had sprayed with my alcool inks.

Hello everyone!  OMG I must be out of my mind.... I have so much stuff to do and yet I manage to add more to my pile of things to do.... why you ask?!?  Well just because I figure it won't take me that long... and it will be fun... BUT does it go that way?!?  well not really lol it always ends up being longer than expected and more effort than planned but I do end up with a nice result (most of the time) So this is what happened to me here.  I purchased some Christmas stockings for my colleagues to decorate the office.  Of course I purchased the real type of stockings so once they are hung... well you kinda have to put stuff in them. So I was thinking and thinking and thinking some more about what to do about that.  I figured I would buy a little chocolate ferrero pack for each but that's already 7$+ as well as the stockings.... so couldn't do much more otherwise I'm purchasing too much.  So I figured HEY Christmas is about making stuff... so I can...

Well Christmas is at our door!!!  And that meant that I really really had to finish off my calendar in order to be able to mail it out as a gift and have it there in time!  I'm very lucky the great Art by Mi Ran image came to the rescue for the month that I still had to finish! For this make I decided to play with the adorable  Sophia . I used the theme of the month which was use gold or Silver.  In my case I used some gold with the washi tape border.  I also colored the butterfly in a yellow gold color.  I colored my image using some copics and then I fussy cut her out. To make this I used some paints, I also played with scraps napkins as well as papers :)  The calendar was found here . I'm entering this little mixed media calendar in the following challenges: Clear it out challenge  - anything goes - I used scraps of papers and paint from my stash :)  I'm also using some cereal box cardboard as the back so recy...

ohhhh it's time for a new collection release over at Julia Spiri Etsy store and this time it's about cuties for the garden!!!!  My make is the super cute little Lady Bug . I took a class over at Scrapbook central a local store this weekend and we played with totally YUMMY silk paint and gels.  I decided to make the background for this little journaling during this process and when I came home all that was required was to color the cutie up and fix her on the page. I also added some little transparent butterflies that I had from a fellow crafter's clean up sale.  Those were fixed on the page using some E6000 glue.

It's time for a new Facebook challenge over at the great Oddball group .  And it's such an easy one.... because all you need to do is play with an image from Oddball. And if you don't have any well no problem you can go and shop for some with 10% discount using DTVICKY10 :) Ok so now for my little make I'm using this time the super cute  Image 142  And I used the sentiment that came with this image.

Ohhhhh it's already the midway post for  Scribbles Designs challenge .  For my little make because it's supposed to be about non traditional Christmas I used an image that's not even a Christmas one.  I thought it was super cute and would still be perfect for it. The image is Cozy .

With December comes the holidays.... so if you are not ready well the new challenge over at Delicious Doodles will be perfect to get you going :)  The theme for this month is Christmas!  And of course there's lots of fab images in the store to use.

Well it's December 1st.... oh my the time just FLEW!  So I'm here to share with you my make with the great new freebie for The East Wind . My daughter had to make a wreath with some candies for Scouts.  I thought it was just GORGEOUS so I purchased it.  I added a big ribbon and a cute little tag make with the super cute little image from The east wind. The candies are tied with twine on a wire hanger that was bent to make a circle.  The top is perfect for hanging it :)
