September Oddball Facebook challenge

Image
Hey I'm back!!!! And this time it's for the new challenge taking place over at Oddball Facebook group !  Where it's anything goes so long as you use an Oddball image!  If you don't have one don't forget you can get 10% off by using the code DTVICKY10 when doing your purchase :) In this journaling page I used the image 306 .  This image comes with a super cute snail that I fussy cut it out and placed it on top of the other.  I did a backing in black. The images were colored with my copics and I used some stickles on the wings.  The sentiment is from Tim Holtz and it's a stamp that I used.  The backing is the back of an envelope that I got from Erin Young!  I did a swap with her and that's the back of that envelope.  I thought it was just PERFECT and I totally NEEDED to use it!!!!  Doesn't it make a wonderful background??!  Much better than any paper that I could have used. I'm entering this in the following challenges: Fab n funky challenge

The East Wind - Shine on

Image
I'm totally ADDICTED to journaling now. I was just visiting a local art store and realized that I hardly do any cards anymore.... yup.... don't know what will be happening Christmas time... I really need to kick my butt in gear! Anyway I found a fabulous book (a very tall one) at a garage sale this past weekend and this was just PERFECT for the journaling for the new freebie and the new challenge over at  The east wind .  The challenge this time around is Shine on.  So something that shines (ie stars, moon, etc.) In my case I did a sky with a bunch of stars and you can see my video here: This was one of the faster EVER journaling page but very fun.  I used a napkin as my background and then some paint and some stencil :) The sentiment was found online when I googled up stars sentiments.

Sexy and I know it - Karleigh Sue

Image
Hello!  I'm here to share with you my inspiration post for Karleigh Sue for the month of August.  I wanted this month to convince you to try to use all your left over paints and other medium for future use. In my case for this one I had made a brusho background and I used my little index card to wipe up the excess.  It was the perfect start to a background for the image  Sexy and I know it . I made a super short video to share with you the process here: And here's the view of the ICAD ( the term is used for Index card a Day - but most of us use it just to refer to an index card because not many actually do one a day....) Using leftovers like this really does jump start your creative process!!! This image was colored with copics and fussy cut.  I also have to admit to being totally ADICTED to magazine cut outs... so much fun using pre-typed sentiments this way.
