Birthday Card for Maddy

Good Evening All My Blogging Buddies,

Tonight I made a birthday card for my niece Maddy. The background paper was made with shaving cream and food coloring. It's a really neat technique I learned from watching Youtube a few years ago. I wish I could remember who did the Youtube video :(
I used my Cricut to do the sentiment and gel pens to accent the bird. The cupcake was just a 3d sticker I had in my stash.

I entered this card in the Red Carpet Studio Challenge "The Birds" you can visit their Blog by clicking the following link.

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.
