Hello!  It's already time for a new challenge over at  The East Wind  and it's about stars and planet. The freebie that you get if you are registered for the newsletter is totally YUMMY!!!!  You will adore it! I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do here.   But in the end the inspiration just popped right on over :)  I found a quote online that I thought was going to be perfect for this. Here's my journaling done in my dylusion journal. the quote was done using my brother label maker.  I added a bunch of gold and silver sequin stars.  The background was done using my black pan pastel. Here's a closer look at the image colored with my copics in light blues.  The hair looks white in the picture :( but it's a light blue! I hope you will come and join us in the challenge this time around.  And if you are not registered for the newsletter what is stopping you?!? Have a fabulous day everyone!!! Hugs

Lahla Lady Drake  was the ideal image to use for my daughter's birthday card. My daughter happens to adore dragons!!!  And I think this is the 3rd year that I make her a card using an image from Faery ink :)  Just have to say that Amanda draws the best dragons and ladies to go with them!!! Without further ado let's look at this card. Because I've been doing so many mixed media pieces it was strange to do a card.  But I'm very happy to report that my daughter loved it! I used papers from Hey girl by Basic Grey.  The flower is from Prima (it's been forever since I used one of those!!!).  I added some washi tape for the border at the bottom and the paper under the sentiment was cut using a Quick cutz die.  The image was of course colored with my copics. Hope you have a fabulous Sunday everyone. Hugs

Hello!  It's the 30th of July and the halfway point of my vacation :( It's ok... still a week to go.  I'm preparing this post in advance but I know that this is what I will be feeling lol I'm here today to share with you an inspiration for Karleigh Sue digis .  The image that I'm using is the Queen Collector . I have to admit that I'm totally OBSESSED with colloring books as well as with coloring pencils.  So this image was the perfect for me!!! The image was colored with my copics as well as some zig pen for the crown.  The image was fussy cut afterwards.  I used my coloring pencils and my gel pens for the coloring book page. I really ADORE using my coloring book as a background.  Hoping that at the end my coloring book will be a nice journal. I found a quote about a collector online and wrote it in the middle.  I love how it personalized this even more and it was very appropriate :) Have a fab day and hope you are creative!!! Hugs

Hello!  It's time for a brand new release from  Karleigh Sue  and I'm using the wonderful image Ponytails and shotgun shells. I'm not a hunter, but I really ADORE the fact that the digis in this release are not the typical woman position digis!!!  We can do so much and this shows it :) Here is my make.  I made a double layout in my dylusions journal. I used my archival inks leaf green, fern green and potting soil to make the background and then I made background trees with a dylusion stamp from Dyan Reaveley.    I added some trees made out of scrap papers with my dies from Dienamites  - birch trees and bamboo stick.  I wrote the sentiment with alphabet letters that I had in my stash.  The digi was colored with my copics and I fussy cut her out. I'm entering this in the following challenges: Art by miran challenge  - Anything goes Crafting-with-friends  - anything goes Cut it up challenges  - anything goes Simply papercrafts for all occassions  - Anything

It's time for a new challenge over at  Scribbles Designs Challenge  and this time it's about how your garden grows. I decided to color one of the fabulous image that Sandy made.  I used a lot of my different coloring pencils as well as some gel pens.  I made a postcard out of this and it was well liked :) You can find this digi here . It's really intricate but I totally loved doing this.  Hope you will go and check the digis out they are fabulous. Have a wonderful day!!! Hugs
