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 called in support and the 1st respo

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.  There are some more posts coming up so I hope that yo

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 wilted viol

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 blog  - Fussy cutting -

Coco Faery Artist  is just fabulous to let the messy creative artist out on a little journaling card. I know that i have told you before but I will tell you again I really love making journaling cards.  I started doing those as a way to journal but out of a typical journal.  I make small ones but I also make bigger one using some recycled cereal boxes. I have made a little video to share with you the process of this And here's the actual journaling card that I made.  The image was colored with my copics.  I used paints to make the background with lots of stencils as well.  I really wanted to make a messy artistic and bright background for this little FAE. The sentiment is from  Ginger house  Just adore those sentiments!!!! And they are free so go on and check them out. I added a little flower from recollection as well as some bling and some buttons. I'm entering this little journaling card in the following challenges: Bunny zoes crafts  - Things with win
