I want to start out with wishing you all a wonderful Easter!!!  I hope that you will be surrounded with your loved ones. I shared with you last time my new passion :)  it really is fun to glue stuff together!!!!  You should join in the "en masse" collecting and you can see more here . One of my collections for my En masse journaling was Drinks!!!!  And there were lots of fab digis from Karleigh Sue that fit this new page spread!!!  So I figure it would be a fab make for my inspiration post for Karleigh Sue . So I thought  Poodle skirt  for the milkshakes,  Pumpkin Spice Latte  for the great COFFEE and  Just Beer  would be perfect to illustrate my favorite drinks!!!  I cropped the images, And here's the make with the image colored with copics.  The rest is images that I cut out of magazines as well as some sentiments done with my label maker.  Hope you like it!!! I'm entering this little spread in the...

Hey everyone!!!  It's Friday and I'm on vacation YAY!!!!!! I'm so very happy and plan on making some makes and miscellaneous craft this weekend as well as rest.  I'm tired.... my doctor is changing my meds :( the good news is that it should help to reduce the weight gain that I was having as well as helping me because I was falling recently... oh well it's an endless fight right?!?  But so long as I'm still here I'm fighting that depression! So anyway I'm here today not to share all my story with you but to share with you my BIG out of the box journaling this time with a FAB dragon from  Faery Ink . I figured that dragons need bling and gold and lots of shiny items so that's what I did for this.  I made a little video to share with you my process. And for those of you that don't want to watch the video here's the make. The sentiment that I used is from  Ginger house  Just love those sentiments.  I have used lots of bling and for the...

Hello everyone!  I'm sharing a card that I did for my dad's b-day using a fab image from Rick St-Dennis called  Owls .  I made the digi really big and found some paper from Bobunny that I thought was going to be perfect for this image.  It's a wood. I colored the image with my copics. My dad really liked it!!!  So that is what count the most!!!  The little stand is from my fabulous friend Erin!!!!  Thank you I love it!!!! I'm entering this little card in the following challenges: Fresh brewed designs  - Happy b-day Wordart wednesday  - Anything goes Live laugh stamp  - Critters and creatures Dream valley challenges  - Birthday Get creative challenges  - Use green - the background has lots of green That's it for me for today!!!  Hope you have a great day and stay creative.  Don't forget there is still a little bit of time to enter my giveaway here .

Ohhhh I'm here to share with you a new passion and a little make for the Karleigh Sue Blog :)  Yes I have to admit it I just LOVE glueing stuff together!!!!  And this was soooo much fun.  I'm doing a little "en masse" journal collection.  You can join the group that showcases this on FB here . The idea behind this is to collect items and glue them down.  But of course I can't just do that... I need to have a story to tell!  For this layout I was making a collection of glasses! So I thought  Miss Cherry  would be totally perfect.  I cropped the image and put her among the glasses.  The images for the glasses come from magazine as well as from pictures online and a little pair of sunglasses that I photographed that belonged to my dad. And here's the make with the image colored with copics.  The background was just done with some paint put on a gesso background.  The journal is a Reader's Digest that I glued pages together an...

Hello everyone!!!  I hope you are doing well.  It's time for a new release over at The East Wind .  This new one is a Lucy Loo!!! I really really love those!!! And just HAD to play with it.  I decided to use an index card that I had used for some left over paints. I colored her up with my copics.  The sentiment is from Shery Russ part of the stamplorations stamp lines.  I added some bling to this and finished it at that. I'm entering thit little index card in the following challenges: Glitter n sparkle challenge blog  - Anything goes pde linky party  - Anything goes Little miss muffet challenges  - anything goes Fresh brewed designs  - Anything goes Inky impressions challenges  - Let's hear it for the girls That's it for me for today.  Hope you have a great day.  Don't forget you still have a few days to enter in the giveaway here .

Hey everyone!  Hope you are doing well.  I spent the weekend at my dad and had so much fun we created a shelf for our garage using some awesome pipes!!!!   I will be sharing this with you later.  I also created a little shelf with him but that too I will share later. I also decided to try making a little drawing and then coloring it with my copics.  And I made the ATC here.  I have a swap coming up and I had thought it might be fun.   This is the 1st time that I color my own drawing with copics.  Please be gentle. When stamping the word Fierce with my Dina Walkley stamp I made a big line over the forehead.... I was soooooo disappointed....   And then I figured I could do a little headband on her.  I'm pretty happy with how that covered up my booboo.... I was at the point of just crying.... lol I'm entering this little ATC in the following challenges: 613 Avenue Create  - Anything goes - optino bird - didn't do that Glitt...

Hello everyone!  Instead of doing a new release this time we are doing an oldies make.  And I decided to use the fabulous digi  I'm so fancy  in my "en masse journaling" which is basically a grouping of image and gluing them together.  You have to watch the video from Shannon Green to get the full idea. And so for my very 1st spread I'm doing it about shoes!!!  I just ADORE shoes!  Pens, paper shoes :)  yeah I'm weird I love the girly stuff as well as the crafty stuff.  It's actually an issue if I have to decide what to spend my money on. So that image was just PERFECT for this spread because she's lying on a shoe!!!  I colored her up with my copics.  I did the background with some brushoes.  And then lots of cutting up of shoes from magazines.  I've been cutting lots of them during my lunch hour.  And it's really addictive.  I also cut out the words that would fit with this "shoes, chaussures". My base ...

Hello everyone!  It's time for me to share with you my make for the FB challenge over at RSD which is all about metals this month. When I thought of metal it made me think of my weekend not long ago where my internet provider totally MESSED up....  I had told the nice lady that called to ask how my service was that it was going slow and how we were not using the TV service as much either.  She offered to make my internet service faster and cheaper and my tv service cheaper!  Boy was I excited about that.  This was the Friday night.  On Saturday morning while I was out to do an errand a technician showed up.   And since there was no adult home he just said that he couldn't do the job and left. When I got home and I heard this news I was very surprised because that lady had never mentioned that a technician needed to come over... And what was my surprise?!?  Well the internet and tv didn't work.... so now I was getting upset.  I cal...

Hello everyone!!!  It's time for a new challenge over at  The east wind .  This time our challenge is about recycling! I decided to make a little mixed media postcard using some recycled cereal box (I have LOADS of those since I have 4 teenagers) as well as some book text. The image that I used for this little postcard is  Cheif . You can see my process in the little video here. Here's what it turned up like.  I used some stamping using some stamps from my stash.  The sentiment is from Tim Holtz.  The image was colored with my copics and then fussy cut. And here is the back of my postcard. I'm entering this little postcard in the following challenges: We love 2 create  - Anything goes mixed media a bit more time to craft  - Anything goes 2 creative chicks  - Anything goes Just keep on creating  - anything goes Rhedds creative spirit  - anything goes mixed media Hope you have a great Tuesday.  T...

Hello everyone!  It's already time for the midway post of Oddball for the Facebook anything goes challenge with an Oddball image. I have been having different issues recently and I wanted to art journal about it!  This time it's all about earlier this month when I reformated the little sd card where I save my digis.  Why you will ask?!? because I was taping a video and it didn't recognize it and asked me to reformat... and me?!? I didn't think about it and just did it and realized after that it was AWFUL that I had just deleted all my digis.... I was lucky I had saved but not all of them back in July 2015.... that's still a whole lot of digis lost.... and then a crafty friend suggested that I try to get them back with some special programs.  I did but they all lost their names and folders :( So now I have to find where they go... and rename them.... So this is the journal page about that!!!!  Using the fab image 288 . I used my distress paint wi...

Hello everyone!  I'm here to share something new in mixed media for me!  I have done some altered mail for a swap with an old envelope that I got and recycled.  I used a bunch of paint, some stencils and some stamps from Paper artsy (Love those stamps) and some Dylusions stamps (another favorite). I also did some stitching all around.  To fit with this envelope I did a little postcard as well. You can see the making of this on the video here And for those of you that don't want to watch the entire video here is the finished look for the front where the address will go. And the back of the envelope and the postcard I really hope this inspires you!  It was my very 1st time making this but it will not be the last.  I'm pretty sure that others would like to get envelopes like this one. I'm entering this set in the following challenges: Art impressions stamps  - house and home Crafting with an attitude  - anything goes Drs designs b...
