Hey everyone!!!  It's Friday and I'm on vacation YAY!!!!!!

Oddball - January FB challenge midway post

Image
Wow already the time to share with you my midway post of January for Oddball !  It seems like time is flying by so very fast. For this post I decided to finally get around to doing the 1st prompt of the year that Journal 52 gave which was Word for 2016! My word for the year is Acceptance.  And by that I mean accepting myself as I am and stop feeling guilty or that I'm not good enough!  I need to convince myself this year that I am worthy and that I am enough!!! This doesn't mean that I won't work hard on a bunch of my issues (for example patience which is lacking... lol) but it means that I really need to also accept myself like I would any of my friends.  I tend to want too much of myself and that is not good and it ends up in a bad spiral. I used the great image 171  to make this because I wanted this little girl to look chocked that this was my word :)

Postcard humour

Image
Yesterday I had some time to play and I decided to participate in a challenge that I am following but that I don't participate in enough!  That's the Sunday postcard challenge .  I want to do more mailing to my friends and I thought this would be a great way to do one just because for the fun of it :) For this make I decided to use a great image from Oddball called  image 140 . The challenge over at Sunday postcard is about Comedy.  Well I think this is pretty funny :)  I used a bunch of papers that I had in my stash as well as a magazine cut out that I had a little piece left and I tore the sentiment out.  It's from  Ginger house .  I doodled with my sharpie pen and also did the edge.  The sentiment was edged with a prima chalk ink.  The image was colored iwht my copics. I had so much fun doing this and I really hope that the person that I send this too will like it as well. I'm entering this in the following challenges: Sunday postcard art  - Comedy/Humor

And she's a total CUTIE pie perfect for our corrugated paper challenge! Now because it's September it's also back to school time.  I have to say that I really love shopping for back to school stuff because I always see cool scrappy stuff too!  I ended up buying more stuff for me at Walmart than for my kids lol there was a bunch of very cool Crayola products out!!!!  Including a set of neon acrylic paints for kids (washable lol).  It just called out my name. Of course, I had to use them on this project.  Got me super excited.  I've been really inspired by Bonnie to try to create stuff in bolder colors and different ways.  So here's my journaling with this fab image.

SLS Lines new release - Tired Coffee lady

Image
Hello everyone!  It's time for the new release over at SLS Lines !  And for this one I decided to use 2 images the Tired Coffee lady and Wine lady .  I thought it would be perfect for my little cardboard book that I'm making with some coffee quotes. I had so much fun making this layout.  I used my Decoart paint for the background.  Then I used my Metallic gold embossing paste with my crafter's workshop mini 4 flowers stencil. I then sprayed this all with some dylusion ground coffee spray.  I added some washi tape and did the doodling with my FaberCastel dark Sepia pen.  I used my fancy tag 2 die and fussy cut all the images and the sentiments are from   Create with TLC   and from  Ginger's house and this is the other page of the cardboard book I'm entering this little book in the following challenges: Pinspirational challenges  - Anything goes Not just cards challenges  - anything goes Stamp and create blog  - anything goes Come and get it challen

Eeny Meeny - Rick St-Dennis

Image
Hello!  I'm doing something different for my usual cards for the Airless chambers ....  Because of the fabulous Bonnie I have started Journaling...and got SOOOOOO hooked that I actually got up to sketch it up before I would forget about it. I had the fabulous image  Eeny Meeny  to craft with and I thought it was the perfect image to use for my Poker make.  I purchased a poker set for the kids to play with during the spring break... and my hubby well he though it wasn't the best idea and that it would gather dust and not be used.... but low and behold the kids LOOOOVED it! So here's my journal page to put the memory down.

WOW I'm soooo lucky to have such fabulous online friends!   One is like a little sister for me!  It's Erin She has become really close to my heart and started a whole perk up Vicky on FB... and then she got a fab image commissioned for me from Betty you can find it in the store here .  Betty could not have done an image that would better represent me!!!!  So I really wanted to do something special with it.  And I made a journal page in my mixed media journal. I used as inspiration quite a few things.... I started out with some Sico paint samples that represent my favorite colors.    I also used a great saying that was sent to me by my SIL!!!!!  Thank you JA it was perfect for this!

How weird right?!?  But totally LOVING this new creative way of letting this go!  And when I saw the new images of  Rosey Hearts  I just had a FLASH one of those lightbulb moments when you just know what you will do!
