Bloom with sunshine - Mixed media journaling

Image
Hey everyone!  How is the week going for you?!?  In my case I need more sunshine!  And I have done just the perfect spread for this.  I have used the new freebie of The East wind if you are registered for the newsletter here . I really needed to do some journaling!  and bright colors! You can see the making of this here And here is the spread.  I have used some acrylic paints as well as stencils and left over bits of papers. The stamping was done with a silicone mat.  I have colored the image with my copics and then fussy cut her out.  The sentiment is an altered card that I got in a swap!  Just love it and needed to include it in my make.  I didn't want it to be fixed permanently because my swap partner made this beautiful on both sides... So really wanted to be able to still see the other side.  I used some washi tape to fix some acetate down to make a pocket.  That's why you see the glare. I'm entering this spread in the following challenges: Digi choo

Another Birthday oh my

Hello!  I'm back with another birthday card.  Told you last week that I had LOADS to do... I wasn't lying lol  I wanted to make this one all weekend but I felt really bad... to the point that my daughter actually forced me to stay sitting down doing nothing. Not easy getting old, body parts hurt.... and blood pressure goes haywire on you for no apparent reason just here and there....  oh well that is life isn't it. And speaking of getting old here is the birthday card that I was talking about.  I used another fabulously glamourous girl from Sandra Caldwell called Miss Lula Mae.  She's on special until tomorrow at 1.5$ what a great deal here .  And she's on special because there's a contest on FB group page to use her!!! That contest also ends tomorrow.  So join in!!!  You will see the link in the challenges that I'm entering because of course you KNOW I will be joining in. Now there's also over at Outlawz for the entire month a sponsoring from Sandra

Wooop woop it's FRIDAY such a great day of the week.  And to top it off there's a great new release over at Sandra Caldwell's shop .  A super cute little bear is just perfect for Valentine's day. I shared with you last week my nephew's puzzle piece.  I just HAD to do something for his sister.  They are twins so can't give something to one and not the other! I am sharing what I made here for her And here it is if you don't want to watch the video I thought she was just adorable with this napkin background.  I'm getting a lot of use out of that pack of napkins.  I added some foam hearts.  The image was colored with my copics and then fussy cut out.

Birthday card

Hello!  There's always a need for new b-day cards.  And when you find images that are on special at 1.5$ well that is even better!  The card that I made is using a great image called glamour nana it's from Sandra Caldwell and you can find it here . And right now she's sponsoring over at Outlawz sketch challenge so it's a great opportunity to win more fabulous images! I decided to play along with the sketch this week (something that I had not done in quite a long time!)  because I really need some b-day cards for the upcoming months.  So it was perfect. Here's my card I colored the image with copics and then fussy cut her out.  The glasses were covered with some glossy accent and I put some gel roll pen on the earings as well as on the glasses.  It doesn't really show on the picture but they are all shiny.  The sentiment is from my good friend Lisa Decosse , she had provided me with a bunch of different bonne fête sentiments!  The paper is from a freebie
