Part 4 of Journaling by 5s - using Playing cards

Image
Ok so we are already at the part 4 of the playing cards!  And this time around I used a bunch of different digi stamps and sentiments because that's what this step is about stamps and sentiments. I also used some images that I found in some great books purchased at Winners our equivalent of TJ Max for only 0.30 and 0.70 :)  they were about weird hats and beards and weird dog coats that you can knit!  I thought they would make some great pictures for my journaling on the cards and other pages and I wasn't wrong!!!! I'm showcasing some upcoming DT work stuff.... so won't be sharing all the links with this video... but you can see some in the description of the video. Enjoy :) Hugs and have a great Monday night

Image
Hello everyone!  Hope you had a great Sunday!  I'm getting ready to see my doctors this week.... getting a bit anxious but sure hoping that soon I can get to normal.... but I do have to admit that the drive that's 2h a day and with the back to school will be more.... is scary to me.... Anyway I'm here to share with you my latest video of the series of the Journaling by 5s altered playing cards. For this I used a bunch of different stamps from Unity stamps: Bitty Backgrounds a Little bit washi Beautiful Elements She Art Doodles And I also used a set that I got on special at Scrapbook Centrale (a local Montreal store) from Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous - Here and there The stencils are from Crafter's Workshop: mini life tidbits mini Well rounded mini Specimens. Hope you have fun watching my video: Don't forget to put a thumbs up and better yet subscribe :) Hugs and have a great Sunday night!!!

Journaling by 5s part 5 - the end

Image
I shouldn't say it's the end.... because that journal is far from finished lol.  For the part 5 I only touched 12 out of 20 pages..... I so suck at doodling on a time limit. Anyway it got me some good base to work with.  Here's my video. And I will be sharing my DT work in the upcoming month.  And do a final flip through of this once I really do have it complete and I'm happy with it.... yeah.... that could be awhile. Ta ta for now! Hugs

Journaling by 5s - second part

Image
Well it doesn't  get less stressful... I think it actually got worse because I actually did like the painting on some of my pages yesterday and I didn't have proper stuff to put on it.... well not the type of stuff that I would usually use for journaling anyway. Before I share with you the video I wanted to share with you the picture of what I mean by my potato chip bag washi tape! While we were on vacation I saw a video from Meri Atelier (the link will be in the description of my video if you are interested in finding it).  And she was making some washi type tape using this.  So I used my fabric paint and did this which I then sealed with decoupage glue but that was still super sticky.... Therefore I put some beeswax on top.  This is what I put through my 5 inch xyron and then cut to make my very own washi tape!!!  woop woop.  Of course after seeing her video.... I HAD to get the 9 inch xyron. Did you know that that machine costs 99$ at Michael?!? Even with my 50% off c

Journaling by 5s - my part 1

OMG who knew there was so much pressure on trying to do something within 15 minutes?!?  Well actually I remembered it like a test... .remember when you just had enough time to answer all the questions?  And you had to check how many you had left in order not to run out of time?!?  Well this is what it felt like lol So this is the part one of Journaling by 5s  if you watch the video on Youtube you will see the links of the original author of this and how to join in and what it's all about :) I figured I would just give a bit of a feeling on my blog of what it's like doing it.... And as I was using my new power director video maker for the 1st time.... without real tutorial or instructions that took awhile as well.  I'm feeling old and out of my element now with this. But hey that's what I want to do, get out of my comfort zone, discover a new me an improved me after the depression and get stuff out of this whole process! Hope you like this and don't forget to
