Hey everyone!!!  There's a brand new release of images today by Sandra Caldwell.  You can find them in the store here .  And while you are there, check out the fabulous sale that she has going on until April 3rd!  Lots of digis are 1/2 price!!!!  Yes they are only 1.5$. The digi that I'm using today is called 1470 I Hear Ya. It really reminded me of one of my sons so I had to use it to prepare his b-day card. His b-day is coming up in the month of April. I have so many papers in my stash that I'm not sure anymore which sets this comes from.  I added some buttons also from my stash.  The image was colored with copics and then fussy cut out.  The sentiment was found online and I thought it was perfect for him.  He likes to be philosophical.

However today I'm not here for this I'm here to share with you a fabulous new image from The East Wind called Take care of my cat .  Since I love my cats (miss them on my trip).  And this image was a great one to use in my Journaling out of the box.

The image that I have used is from Sandra Caldwell and you can find this image here in the store. And right now it's on special at 1.5$ because you can use it in a FB challenge in the Sandra Caldwell Fan group. To make this I used a sketch from Paper Play Sketches . And here is my card. The paper that I used was from my favorite stack of paper from Me and my minds eye - Moments.  It's a very old paper pack but I LOOOOVE it and I am at the last one of 2 packs lol.  I used my scallop and regular circle from Spellbinder.   The image was colored with my copics and then fussy cut out.  The wings were covered with some gel pen.

If you know my blog you know that I really really love Lucy Loo and her attitude!  She is the GREATEST digi to color and when I really want to give attitude well her hair turns purple lol I haven't been doing a lot of cards but I was inspired with this one.  The image was colored with my copics and I used some left over pieces of die cuts as well as some papers from DCWV if I'm not mistaken it's the rock pack.  The sticker was part of a set from the dollar store.

Happy Friday to you all!  I'm so tired this week it's crazy... and we lose one sleeping hour on the weekend... that will be HARD lol.  But at least spring is coming and that is good.  Right now however it's still really really cold so we are still feeling as though it's still winter. Anyway, Sandra has made some great new release images!  And I'm sharing one with you all.  Just love it.  It was perfect to send a little hello to my stepmom who loves rabbits.  So I made her a postcard.  You can see the process here: and here is the look at the postcard finished!  It's a real mixed media piece because there's loads on there. I have used paints, ribbon, tissue paper, left over other papers and to finish it off a pitt pen marker all this on a cereal box cardboard. The image was colored with my copics and then fussy cut.  I made the sentiment in a word document and fussy cut it out as well.  On the back end side there's a pos...

Hey!  Happy Friday to you all and TGIF it's been one of those weeks that I'm sure happy to see coming to an end.  The ending however is pretty awesome because it's coming with a new digital image from Sandra Caldwell that you can find in her Etsy store here . And the name of this fun image is Team Mom.  Now when I saw the fingers it gave me the inspiration to do this because with 4 kids I have often made this comment.... You can see the making of this journaling out of the box (JOOTB) in the following video And here is a closer look at the piece.

Hey everyone!  How is the week going for you?!?  In my case I need more sunshine!  And I have done just the perfect spread for this.  I have used the new freebie of The East wind if you are registered for the newsletter here . I really needed to do some journaling!  and bright colors! You can see the making of this here And here is the spread.  I have used some acrylic paints as well as stencils and left over bits of papers. The stamping was done with a silicone mat.  I have colored the image with my copics and then fussy cut her out.  The sentiment is an altered card that I got in a swap!  Just love it and needed to include it in my make.  I didn't want it to be fixed permanently because my swap partner made this beautiful on both sides... So really wanted to be able to still see the other side.  I used some washi tape to fix some acetate down to make a pocket.  That's why you see the glare. I'm entering this s...
