Happy birthday card!

Image
OMG it's been FOREVER since I have posted here.  I had such great intention at the beginning of the year and then well that never happened.  It's been quite a year as you would know if you follow me on Youtube. But it's not the same to actually post a story here. Anyway I needed to make a b-day card and the image from the East Wind was just PERFECT for this!  You can find her here .  I don't color much with my copics anymore.  Some of my markers are clogging up.... sad really.  I have been doing so much more mix media. The paper that I used is probably discontinued before  but it was Kaiser Craft Lush.  You might still be able to find some on E-bay.  That's the best to find the stuff that you can't get your hands upon.  That or maybe some destashing.  I think this was the 1st time that I used that paper pack!  How bad is that?!?  I know I used to do so many more cards than I do now.  Now I mostly do videos about using your scraps!  Something that we have l

Hello!  The crickets have been having a field day on my blog... yes I know it's been so long since I have shared something just here just for you all that still follow my blog!  I wanted to 1st of all wish you all a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!  May 2018 bring you health and be filled with joy as well as crafty fun! When I saw the dragon image that Unky created for the East Wind, I just knew this would make a perfect card for my daughter that just ADORES dragon.  You can find the sweet image here . The background that I have used for this was made with a recycled envelope that I covered with paint and left over paper pieces!  You can find that on my youtube channel here if you are interested in making that: It's a great way to recycle and to make very cheap paper that is totally UNIQUE. Here is the card that I have made. The image was colored with some coloring pencils as well as gel pens.  I glued this on black cardstock to make it pop.  The sentiment was made by

So today I'm sharing finally what I made with the fabulous digi that was a freebie at The East Wind . The new digi was perfect for a Christmas card!!! And here it is I used some papers that I had left from fabulous paper packs.  I used a spellbinder die to cut out the sentiment from Create with TLC and the backing.  The oval was also cut out with spellbinder die.  I used my copics to color this image.  I used some bling that was from recollection.

Hello everyone!  There's a brand new challenge over at The East Wind and it's perfect for this time of year (with Mother's day in North America).  So the challenge is all about Mother's or Women.  So perfect time to use the wonderful freebie that Unky drew for those that are registered to the newsletter! I made a video of my process of playing in my alphabet book. For this if you don't want to watch the video I used some neocolor crayons.  I had so much fun using them and should really use them more often!!! The image was colored with my copics and then I fussy cut it out.  The sentiment was found online.  I put it on a word document and then printed it out.  I did some doodling and this is really rare for me, but I loved how it turned out!

Lucy Loo "sniff" - The East Wind new release

Image
Well there's a brand new release image by Unky over at the East Wind Etsy store . And because it's a Lucy Loo I just HAD to play with her. However I'm very sad because I made a video to share with you all and my memory card bugged... and so the video didn't register properly :( I was playing in one of my junk journal, the one that I made for my vacation last year but didn't really use. I found a sentiment in a magazine that I thought would go well with her. The background to the page is done in Panpastel.  I had done the entire book that way to have some sort of background.  I used some of my newest washis :)  love love love washi (you can see my haul's videos about that lol).  The image was colored with my copics and then I fussy cut her out.  I added some gel roll pen to her wings.  I also used a silicone mat to do some stamping.  And I got some paper scraps from a fellow youtuber and used some of it here. I'm entering this journaling in the fo

Opening Flower - Alphabet journaling

Hey everyone!  Hope you are having a fabulous weekend.  I'm still sort of out of it.... the vacation made it hard for me to get back into a routine.  I'm kind of out of it.  And because of the vacation I'm a day late to share this make with the great new release freebie image of The East Wind. All you need to do to be able to get this great image is to register for the news letter!  And you can find the newsletter registration on this site . I wanted to play in one of my other journals.  One that has been quite neglected actually.  Last year after seeing KagedFish on youtube show her alphabet scavenger hunt I thought I would do the same thing.  So I set up a book to use for that.  But you know me.... I have trouble just gluing papers down without putting some sort of journaling to it.... so I ended up using it for alphabet but with some digital images and basically journaling but with alphabet.  And then I just let it be and didn't play in it anymore... So today i

Bloom with sunshine - Mixed media journaling

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.

So here is the video if you want to see it: And here is the spread.

Aurora Angel with Stricking blue eyes

Image
Hello!!!!!  It's time for a new release image over at The East Wind.  And I have to say that she is GORGEOUS.  You can find the image Aurora Angel with Stricking blue eyes here as part of a set . I really HATE making sympathy cards but you always need a few in your stash and I find it's worst to make them when you have actually need it... So I thought she was going to be great to use for this. I added some bling to this.  The flowers and birds are from a package that I had ordered a long time ago... don't know from which company.  I have used my spellbinder dies and edged the sentiment with my vintage photo distress ink.  The image was colored with my copics and I used a sakura gel pen on top of the wings for the added shine. I'm entering this card in the following challenges: Word art wednesday  - Anything goes Crafty sentiments  - Anything goes Sunny day crafting  - Artic animals- I went with the option of anything goes That's it for me for today.

What a better way to start the new year than with a calm mind?!? I have made a video to share with you the making of this journaling page. And here it is.  I used some paints from the dollarstore as well as some paints that I purchased in a pack at Homesense our equivalent of TJ MAXX. The stamping in the background was done with some shelf liner and some little circle items found in my dad's garage :)  Got to love that!  The papers that I used were given to me in a swap as well as the great sentiment on that card.  I have added some book paper just for the fun of it for added interest.  The image was colored with copics and then fussy cut out.

And as per previous years, the freebie is a super CUTE CAT!!!!  YAY.  I decided to make a card because I'm behind in making some cards.  And I decided to use some of the fab paper that I got from my friend Annie in some Happy mail that you can see here. Here is the result I have used all scraps from my stash.  The only thing that i have added is the green layer 6x6 that covers the card base.  The one that is under the belly band is from a packaging display. The image was colored with my copics and then I fussy cut it out.  I have added some stickers that are shakers!  How fun is that?!?

Thanks for the memories - The east wind

It's Alzheimer's Awareness month and with this theme in mind Unky made the most wonderful Freebie for you all!  That is of course if you are registered for the newsletter over at the blog . I have to admit that Christmas is really one of my favorite time of the year (that and Halloween).  And I still remember looking at myself as a little kid through the little glass ornaments.  Before we all had plastic ones.  I would stare at the tree for hours.... good memories! The image was colored with my copics and then I used some gell roll pen on top of some of the ornaments as well as her hat.  I used a sentiment from Create with tlc.  I added some stickers and that was it.  The papers were freebies with magazines.

Bump in the night - The East Wind

Image
Hello!  It's Saturday YAY.  Going to get some blood test done... that's what happens as you get older lol need to get checked and everything. Anyway today there's a new challenge starting over at the East Wind blog and it's about bumps :)  more specifically embossing. For my make I used the fabulous Aurora Sugar Moon .  I think this image is just soooo pretty and would be totally perfect for a birthday card.  There are many birthdays coming up in my friends/family. It feels strange to make cards now so funny.  That's all I used to do!  How things change. The paper that I used is from GCD Studios - Nostalgia.  I used a cuttlebug embossing folder and my label 18 from Spellbinder to cut it out.  And of course finished this with some bling.  The image was colored with my copics.  The sentiment comes from Create with TLC I'm entering this in the following challenges: Crafting-with-dragonflies  - Let's go floral Dis digi designs challenge  - Add a
