It's time for a new release image over at  The East Wind .  I just love love love Lucy Loo so I just HAD to play with her. I made a special junk album (meaning I'm using all junk material that I repurposed for this!  And I think it came out pretty awesome.  I really hope that the person that I intend on sending this too will like it. So for this page it's actually one of those shiny postcards that I keep on getting in the mail to advertise real estate.  I sanded the shiny paper.  Then I gessoed it.  I also used a box of soap to make the pocket.  I used my big gelli plate to make the print on this with some acrylic paint.  Then I used my sewing machine around the pocket to sew it together.  I used some stamps and some stencils to make these gelli printing. Here's a look at what I did. The great image was colored with my copics.   The tags were made using a project life card to which I put some washi tape and added a little hole and ruban from my stash.  The oth

Hello everyone!  There's a brand new progressive challenge starting over at  My Whimsical Little world FB challenge  and you really want to play with this little cutie that comes with the Canada flag or with a blank flag so you can use your own country. Don't forget there's also freebie on the blog  My whimsical little world .  And of course there's no new release this month but we will be sharing some fabulous oldies from the store so you don't want to miss those! For my make I decided to get a head start on my calendars when I would find some images that are appropriate like this one.  I found a picture frame that you lift to get to the pages and I figured I would alter that to make the calendar :)  actually I found 2 other ones in plastic... so yeah lots of fun ideas. Here's the make that I did I used some plain red paper and then added a bunch of different washi tapes :)  I'm glad to get to use them... .I seem to have an addiction to them but t

Hello everyone!  There's only 2 more challenges left for the Open Minded Fun challenge and I wanted to make sure to participate in both.... but I'm having trouble still crafting and finding the energy and the motto for it.... So I'm late but at least I'm there!  The great sponsors this time around are: ,  ,   and  For my make I used a great one from Bugaboo called Chase your dreams  that I've had for a long time and it's not the 1st time that I use it!  I really love this sentiment and figured it would be great on the ATC that I was doing and that was part of a Pocket letter that I sent to someone as a Pay it forward type of event. So the background for the ATC was made using some different inks from Stamping up (Ballet blue, Handsome Hunter, Ruby red and summer sun) and I smudged it on with some makeup pads.  I then added some stamping using my impression obsession stamp dotted argyle.  I finished this off by adding a little border using a sticker bord

Hello everyone!  I'm here today to share with you a little extra make that I did for  My whimsical little world .  If you didn't know you can get a great freebie on the blog.  And there's a progressive challenge on the FB group which will start again soon for the month of July!  You will not want to miss it!!!! For the month of July we got a break from new releases.... you know get Paola to recharge a bit :)  And while she's going to be doing that we are showcasing some of her awesome digis!  And that's what I'm doing here with the super cute Surfer Kody I thought this little guy would be perfect for my camping smash album. I'm pretty happy because if you know smash albums, you know that there are pages with just pictures on them... and therefore you can't really journal anything there.... you might add some pictures but even those unless they are matted would kind of be lost.

This is what I made for the cover using the super cute Santa's Helpers  the paper for the cover is from Beach by Paper house.  I used my sharpie to write the sentiment Here's the next page using  Sweet Stripes .  I used some borders from the dollar store and a die cut from Creative memories.  The papers is the last of a pack that I've had forever.  I used some duck tape as well. the
