Fall Card

Here's a fall card I made. Not sure if I like the glittery green or not. I wanted to try out my new fence punch. The pumpkins are still wet with crackle accents.

Office Breakroom

Hi,

Are office went through a remodel. Our kitchen needed to be painted because we relocated a door. So we had an idea to paint each wall a different color. We did one wall purple, one green, one orange and one blue. The colors were picked from posters that we planned to hang in there. Although the process was a bit slow the out come is great. In my opinion anyway : )

I took a lot of slack with people making fun of all the colors, they just couldn't envision what I did. I was asked if we were starting a daycare to this is going to look like a kindergarten romper room.  Let me know what you think......

Art Journal Page

Hello,

I was just playing around in with my art journal tonight. For this journal page I used dylusions ink spray, acrylic paint, perfect pearls and smooch. I like the way the perfect pearls and smooch glide accross the acrylic paint and the ink sprays.

Cover to Junk Journal

Good Morning,

Today I wanted to share the cover I made for a Junk Journal I am giving to a friend at work. I was going to add a title but decided to let her add her own title.

I used a piece of cardboard for the cover. Decorated it with papers, fibers, crackle paint, glimmer mist, flower petals, lace, stones, seed beads, perfect pearls, paper cut outs, stickles and tons of mod podge.

The inside has different size scrapbook papers, tags, envelopes and journal pages.  Now all my friend has to do is add pictures, journaling, doodling, notes, or whatever else she wants.

Hello My Crafty Friends,

I'm planning on hosting my second Friendship Journal Swap. If your interested continue to read the below rules.

1. There will be a max of 5 participants. They will be chosen on a first come first serve basis.
2. I will start the swap by making a base journal for each participant.
3. I will then mail all five pieces to the second person on the list. The second person will then add a layer to all five journals and mail all five pieces to the third person on the list and so on.
4. The last person to add their layer will then keep one for them self and mail the other 4 back to me. I will then keep mine and mail the the others to the second person and so on.

When decorating the front of the journals you can use any materials you like and add whatever you like to them. Just keep in mind you must do the same on each of the journals. On the back of the journal there will be a space for you to fill in your name, blog, email address and a spot to briefly describe what you did to the journal.

If you would be interested in participating leave me a message with your email. Please only reply if you can participate to completion to be fair to the others.

Using Scraps

Hi There,

On this journal page I used a bunch of scrap paper and old dried up baby wipe (the ones I clean my paint brushes with) glued down with mod podge. There's a lot of over lapping and texture on this page. After the glue dried I used watered down gesso and went over the entire page. After the gesso was dried I added some doodle using oil pastels, markers, stickles, clear stamps, and smooch. A few dragon fly's from a punch and some glimmer mist finished this page.

More Journal Pages

Hi,
Here's a few more journal pages I did. I'm really having a lot of fun with these. I think I have the background down by mixing the colors and overlaping them. Now I just need some practice on adding layers of different materials. Each of the pages will have some kind of quote. I having problems figuring how to get the quote on the pages where it looks ok. So that's what I'm going to practice on next.

I used acrylic paints for the base, some stamps, stencils, stickles and smooch. You cant see from the picture but I also used some seed beads glued on with glossy accents.
