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 postcard blank base that

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. I made the sentiment on a word document and then cut it in parts.  The backgrounds was made on a cereal box cardboard.  I used Acrylic paints, book pages , envelopes, stencils.  The image was colored with my copics and I fussy cut her out. I'm entering this in the following challenges: As you like it challenge  - other than a card and why - I love journaling on little cardboard because I get to tell a story

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 spread in the following challenges: Digi choo

Hello!  I'm back with another birthday card.  Told you last week that I had LOADS to do... I wasn't lying lol  I wanted to make this one all weekend but I felt really bad... to the point that my daughter actually forced me to stay sitting down doing nothing. Not easy getting old, body parts hurt.... and blood pressure goes haywire on you for no apparent reason just here and there....  oh well that is life isn't it. And speaking of getting old here is the birthday card that I was talking about.  I used another fabulously glamourous girl from Sandra Caldwell called Miss Lula Mae.  She's on special until tomorrow at 1.5$ what a great deal here .  And she's on special because there's a contest on FB group page to use her!!! That contest also ends tomorrow.  So join in!!!  You will see the link in the challenges that I'm entering because of course you KNOW I will be joining in. Now there's also over at Outlawz for the entire month a sponsoring from Sandra

Wooop woop it's FRIDAY such a great day of the week.  And to top it off there's a great new release over at Sandra Caldwell's shop .  A super cute little bear is just perfect for Valentine's day. I shared with you last week my nephew's puzzle piece.  I just HAD to do something for his sister.  They are twins so can't give something to one and not the other! I am sharing what I made here for her And here it is if you don't want to watch the video I thought she was just adorable with this napkin background.  I'm getting a lot of use out of that pack of napkins.  I added some foam hearts.  The image was colored with my copics and then fussy cut out.
