Arielle Tea time  was the perfect little image for a postcard to send to a friend. I'm always trying to find new ways to recycle and to use the supplies that I have and at the same time make my friends happy.  I thought that my little journaling card would make some great postcard if I changed a bit the size of them.  This is what I did with the fabulous image from Faery Ink. I have made a little video to share with you the process of this in case you want to do something similar And here's the actual little postcard that I made.  The image was colored with my copics.  I fussy cut her out and made little holes in her wings so you can see the backgrounds!  I used paints to make the background and I also used stamps this time around.  The little sentiment is a cut out from a magazine!  See you can recycle from many places. I hope you will be checking out this new image and that you will be inspired to send some mail to your friends!  It's something that we forg

If you didn't check out the video here is the little make that I did.  The base is a recycled cereal box!  Love that I get to recycle for this. I used all sorts of papers from my working table.  There was some sewing patterns as well as some book paper and some delipaper that I had used to cover my table.  The dream sentiment is from a magazine.  I used a little paper that I had punched a bunch of holes in as a stencil and then I doodled with my Faber Castell pen on that.

It's already time for the halfway point for the challenge over at  Scribbles Design challenge .  And our challenge for you this time is about finding inspiration from a song.  I'm using the fab digi  Moon Star .  And my song inspiration is quite old it's Moon River. I'm trying to do all sorts of different things for you so that you are entertained when you check out my blog.  So do do that for this make I decided to use my little book of alphabet.  I printed the digi quite large so the moon totally filled out one of my "M" alphabet page.  I covered the lettering of the book with black pan pastel and I colored the moon using my new Tritone coloring crayons.  I love those because they already color my images differently which means you don't have to do real shading.... you just play. I hope this has inspired you to do something different as well. I'm entering this little book page in the following challenges: Craftin

Hey everyone!!!  Second post of the day.  Always busy here on the 1st of April.  I'm here this time to share with you my make for Delicious Doodles Challenge . The challenge this time is to use 3 Design papers, 2 images and 1 embellishment.  This challenge had me pondering for a little bit of time... I wasn't sure what was the best approach for it. In the end, since I have some friend's b-day coming I thought that would be perfect.  I used   Hydrangea and Majestic monarch  images from Delicious Doodles.
