Thankful Me

Wahooo can you guess how much paint and ink and modge podge I have all over the place!!:):) Well its so worth it! To create with free abandon is so good for the soul:) I have created this art journal after taking Heidi Kelley's class called B You! She is a teacher at Miss Arts Papercrafting School. This class covers mixed media application and so much more!!!!
I've not finished the journaling yet, that will come when the mood hits. Probably with my morning coffee:)

Thank you looking and I hope you get some creative play soon too!

These are the days of Miracle & Wonder

TCR #63
I'm having a blast trying to keep up with the color room palettes! These colors are yet again not what I would gravitate to, but as the layout comes together I love em! I tried REALLY hard to use less "STuff" on this layout, and go for a more simpler look.... (not an easy task for me:)  I used stitching, crackle paste, shimmmerz, glitter and my trusty quickie glue pen. The fonts were cut out with my Silhouette, (which I'm still learning how to use:), and then dressed up with crackle glossy accents!

Thanks for stopping by and looking, (excuse the pics, I'm trying to remember how to take and crop them again:) The lighting is off and the colors aren't showing true.....if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know! Have a good one:)

You bring such joy!

Whew,what a tough palette for me! This is the first time I've ever played in the color room, and orange is not one of my favorite go to colors.....but I'm pleased with how this turned out! What a really cool site! They have GORGEOUS plalettes and sketches! I found them from one of my favorite artists sites http://www.seesterk.blogspot.com/  Heidi is a fantastic artist and has great tutorials. She's truly inspirational!
For this challenge we could only use the 4 colors in the palatte, and no other neutrals.... it really was tough, but fun!

My DD Brenah is 17 now, (holy cannoli time flys) and I found this pic after we moved and it beggged to be scrapped. She was 8 in this pic and super sweet:) Not any of the teenage moodiness, or drama:):):)
I used everything I could get my hands on in this page. Texture paste, shimmerz and shimmer spritz, prima flowers, and pretty much anything that was in arms reach:) Thanks for looking, hope you get some creative play time too!

YIPPEEE!!! I'm scrapping again!!!

WOW, it sure feels good to be creating! It's been wWAY too long:) SOOO much has happened since my last post. We no longer live in Houston, we've been relocated to Tulsa Ok and have been here for almost a year!! I'm finally feeling setteled enough to scrap again!! And boy it feels GOOD:) Everyone is adjusting well and I must say Tulsa is a lovely town! We sure do miss our family and friends though.... which is what led me to scrap this pic of Mom, Brenah and myself! My folks came visit us for Christmas, and we three decided to each knit a "one skein hat in a day"!!! It was an all day long pajama affair and a blast!!! It doesn't get much better than crafting with your mom and daughter:) Thanks so much for looking, I hope you all are doing well and good:)
(p.s. its been so long since I posted, I've got to relearn how to upload and post things:):) I feel old:)
Have a good one

Buttons for Zoe!

Hi Everyone, good day to you:) Burrrrrr it's cold here in Houston again! It's often said here that if you don't like the weather, just wait 5 minutes and it will change!!! And that is soooo true. First its 30, then the next day back into the 70's..... CRAZY, I tell ya:) That's why everyone has this yucky cold:(:(  Anyhoo, back to the fun stuff:) I recently had the priveledge to create a custom button order for a sweet little 6 month old named Zoe! Her grandma and I had fun getting to know each other while we discussed design ideas!! That's truly what I love about this! I guess that's what we all love, that's why we blog and share our creations right, to just get to know other like-minded artists! So without further ado....... Buttons for Zoe

Let me know what cha think!:):)
Have a great rest of the week, and happy creating!
