Hello everyone!  It's time for a new challenge over at  Karleigh Sue Challenge  and it comes at the same time as a great new release of image if you want more inspiration go and check it out here.  There will be all sorts of goodies there for you!!!! Ok so I couldn't just work with one image... I had to use them ALL!!!! bwhahahahahah and I decided to use them to make an altered children book for my little niece and nephew :)  they are 3 and I miss them lots but I haven't been good to see them much with the depression and stuff... so this is a way for me to say how I care. This is what I made for the cover using the super cute Santa's Helpers  the paper for the cover is from Beach by Paper house.  I used my sharpie to write the sentiment Here's the next page using  Sweet Stripes .  I used some borders from the dollar store and a die cut from Creative memories.  The papers is the last of a pack that I've had forever.  I used some duck tape as well. the

Well it's time for another great Anything goes challenge over at the FB group  Oddball art stamps  and all you have to do is use the great images to enter... so that's super easy.  If you don't have any you can go and shop at the Etsy store here  and you can use the code DTVICKY10 and get 10% off!!!!  wooop wooop As you know if you follow this blog I have really really gotten into journaling I'm totally loving it and using all sorts of books as journals. I really love this one because it's lined and it's perfect when I want to write a bit more.  It's not as good for wet media... but that's ok because that's why you have lots of journals right?!? The image that I used this time around is  Image 216

It's time to remind you that you still have 14 days to enter our challenge over at  Scribbles designs challenge  were it's about feathers, fins or frog legs!  And there are so many of all those elements in the stamps that there's no reason for you not to have so much fun with it! For my make this time around I used the super cute  Gone Buggy 2 there's lots you can do with this cool set and I will show you more at a later date... but for now here's what I did with it.  I thought it was a great image for a little ATC to be put in a pocket letter! I did the background with my gelli plate.  I used my mowed lawn distress ink all around the sentiments and the image. I'm entering this little ATC in the following challenges: Cardz 4 guyz  - something that start with b- bug Scrappy hands  - Animals I have one more to share with you today!  Hope you like it! Hugs

Well it's time for a new challenge over at  Delicious Doodles challenge  and this time around it's about all that is magical or myths.  I thought it was the perfect time to journal with the super detailed  The magician's crystal .  To me he just says Magician! So this being said I had to go with my favorite color of the moment purple my crushed grape dylusions spray.  I used some black homemade sprays as well.  The puzzle are stencils that I made and used some parts as mask as well. I found at the thrift store the strangest puzzle.... and I'm using one of the pieces here to journal and the spell card is also from the thrift store it was part of a little bag.  Love love love that stuff and thought it would be just PERFECT for journaling all sorts of magical things.

Well it's already time for a new challenge over at  The east wind  and this time around it's Patriotic.  That's a great time for it since it's the 1st of July here and Canada day. I do love Canada day....but I find it hard to use as inspiration because that's only red and white.... This time around however someone that I know had shared a picture of making a stamp out of twine and a wood block.  I thought I would give this a go and that's what I did for this background.  I think it turned out quite fun! I've also become quite fond of using project life cards!  and I found a set of dies from Quickutz called pocket scrap dies life.  That's how I did the sentiment on the left end side and the life at the bottom of the right page.  The sentiment was cut out from a book that I purchased in the special section of Homesense.  It had some awesome quotes that I figured I would be able to use and this one is about chaos which is appropriate with this backg
