Hello everyone!  It's time for a new challenge over on the blog The East wind .  And for this one it's about love and romance.  What a better image for this than the wonderful  Aurora be my valentine . I don't make a lot of cards anymore but it was perfect for Valentine's day and I'm thinking of sending this to my dad! The card was made with all Valentine paper scraps that I have HAD for YEARS!  YAY me for using up my stash finally.  I added some bling and the sentiment was cut out with a spellbinder die. I stamped the sentiment with those tiny little letter stamps.  The image was colored with my copics and then fussy cut out. I'm entering this in the following challenges: Cardz 4 galz  - Love is in the air Cute card thursday  - Be my valentine Crafty gals corner challenges  - Add some sparkle That's it for me for this post!  I will be back later with another one. Hugs

Hey everyone!  Happy hump day!  Hope your week is great so far.  I can't wait for the weekend for more play time lol but so far the week is still good. Today I'm here to share with you 2 new digis from The East Wind.  One that you can get as a Freebie if you are registered for the newsletter here . For that one I decided to make a journal spread and just have fun and also remind myself that it will take time and patience to make my dreams come true but they will happen! So here is the video if you want to see it: And here is the spread. I used my dylusions paints for this I hadn't played with them in a while.  I added some stenciling.  The dreams is a project life card that I thought was perfect for this and was actually the color inspiration for this spread.  The image was colored with my copics.  I stamped using my rubber placemat. And here is the 2nd make that I did for today.  This time it's using a brand new digi that you can find here I used this

Yes I managed to do it again!!!  Recycled more Christmas cards :)  My stash is getting bigger and I'm feeling quite encouraged by this. Not only am I getting those cards done but I'm also using stickers that hardly stick anymore...and bits of papers left from tons of previous projects.  And even doing this my scrap pile doesn't seem to diminish.  At least I know that I'm finally using my stuff!  And that was a big resolution for me this year. You can watch the process of how I turned 3 cards into those :) As mentioned in the videos I use premade card bases that I have had also for years!  My god the stuff that we hoard... or I should say "I" hoard!!! I'm entering this set of cards in the following challenges: Crafting from the heart challenge blog  - Anything goes The papergirls challenge  - Patterned paper - used a lot of little scraps Crafty hazelnuts patterned paper  - Patterned paper Christmas cards all year round  - Snowflakes - I

Hello!  I'm super happy to say that I'm keeping up with my promise to make Christmas cards :)  I have to admit that the support that I have been getting from my Youtube subscriber has been a HUGE encouragement to continue! You can see the process video of these cards in here: I can't believe it that I made all these cards out of 2 cards!!!  It was pretty cool.  And I'm finally going through my stash of papers and using all the little bits and pieces!

Hello!  Hope you have a wonderful Saturday.  I'm here today to share with you a make that I did for Oddball.  My last make as a dt.  I loved my time and I think it's time for me to step down. I really wanted to make a piece that was representative of me as of the moment.  I really do need that alone time to craft and do some art.  Recently one of my kids (as they were all going to the movie theatre) mentioned how I would miss them and would be lonely.  He is right I would be if it was for a very long period of time... but I'm finding that more and more I do need that time alone with myself to just play.  So no I wasn't going to miss them for 2.5 hours lol.  Actually I thought they came back way too fast! For this last make I'm using the wonderful image 363 .  He was just perfect for the little out of the box journaling that I wanted to do.  You can watch me on the video here. And here is my little journaling make I found the wording in a magazine and just
