Hello Sunshine

Hi there crafty peeps ;-)

I'd like to share a 6x6 scrapbook mini album I made totally inspire by Spring. I know some of you are still waiting for the snow the take a hike and for Tulips and Daffodils to take center stage :-) 

You can check out the video on Youtube to see the details of the insides HERE 

Thanks so much for visiting and leaving me a comment :-)

My First Color Pencil Image!

Hi my crafty peeps :-) 

Hope all is well! 

I want to share with you a card I made using a digi image "Goblin Queen"from SimplyBStamps not sure if she's available yet but check out the other images. So I colored the image using my Prisma Coloring Pencils and blending solution, first time coloring a doll and loving it the outcome!!! So proud of it! 

Of course the card is in my fav colors and yes I know it's "Spring" and all but I choose to go dark because the image "Goblin" just didn't scream pastels colors to me LOL... 

Let me know what you think of the coloring (I know I have a lot to learn) and card. 

Thanks for your visit and leaving a comment :-)

ATC Easel Cards

Hello crafty peeps :-)

Let's play catch up... So I created these two "ATC Easel Cards" for a challenge on facebook and although I've never made an ATC card before and had no interest in making one... I was intrigued by the "easel" part of it lol... I love all things easel.

So I did two different styles, one in an artistic flair meaning water color my heat embossed stamp image (below) cut around the image and adhere it to the easel flap. 

The second one, well I had to do something in my style which is anything 3D... so I made a tiny shadow box with a garden scene (my fav type of scenery)! 

Thanks so much for visiting and leaving a comment, I really do appreciate it :-)

Valentine's Inspired Mini Album

Hi everyone :-)

Yes I am making an effort to show my blog some much needed LOVE and "thank you" all for hanging in there!

So I made this mini album and I plan on putting special fun photos of hubby and I with journaling of those moments :-)

I am thinking of printing the photos in black and white as to not have too many colors... what do you think???

I made my first "shaker" element and oh it was fun! The white frame and other designs like the roses, flourishes and corners you'll see throughout the pages were made with homemade texture paste and stencils from Prima and The Crafter's Workshop.

 I have a mini tutorial of how I made that "mini coin envelope" (pink/white with banner my love)                                           above____^ HERE 
It's another way of looking at your dies to create something different than it was meant for :-)

This mini was made using Heidi Swapp wooden album (consist of wood front/back covers and 6 white card stock inserts).

Thanks so much for stopping by and I appreciate your time spent here :-)
