Hello everyone!  There's a brand new challenge over at The East Wind and it's perfect for this time of year (with Mother's day in North America).  So the challenge is all about Mother's or Women.  So perfect time to use the wonderful freebie that Unky drew for those that are registered to the newsletter! I made a video of my process of playing in my alphabet book. For this if you don't want to watch the video I used some neocolor crayons.  I had so much fun using them and should really use them more often!!! The image was colored with my copics and then I fussy cut it out.  The sentiment was found online.  I put it on a word document and then printed it out.  I did some doodling and this is really rare for me, but I loved how it turned out! I'm entering this journaling page in the following challenges: Alphabet challenge blog  - D is for Decoupage Colour crazy challenge  - Crazy color challenge That's it for this post but there's anothe

I have made a video of my playing with my journaling out of the box, hope you will enjoy seeing this. And here is the closer look at the make that I did! as you know I totally love mix media so for this I used all sorts of products and stamps.  I have colored the digi with Chameleon pens.  It was my very 1st time using those pens but I really enjoyed it!

Well I finally did it!!!  I started out my soul book!  I'm so happy about that because I have been wanting to do something to document this year and having a hard time to commit to something. This seems like something that I can totally do.  I have found the soul book via the youtube channel of Christie B and you can also find her blog here . And I had been super lucky to have a great shop owner on Etsy give me one of her beautiful mandalas.  You can see the mandala that I used here .  It's from Coloring Craft Shack. I have made a video to share with you all my mental process through this.  It was quite emotional and unexpected.  I didn't start of thinking that I would do this entire page... it just happened. And here is the journaling spread that I have made. As my son said this is totally not my typical style... but I really love how it turned out.  It's the start page of the book.  I used some acrylic paints, a stencil, a stamp from Eclectica and some

Hello and happy Friday everyone!  What a week.  I have been working later at work... this means getting home later... preparing the meal later and obviously after eating well it's time for bed... almost anyway lol.  This means no crafty time for me and I miss it!!! But because it's Friday it also means that there are new release over at Sandra Caldwell's etsy store.  And you can find this super cute Spring Bud Hippo there. I made a video of the process of this. And here is a closer look at my mixed media journaling out of the box.  The sentiment was found online and typed on a word document and then torn out. I used a bunch of left over papers for this as well as a silicone mat for stamping.  The texture paste is from Heidi Swapp.  I colored the super cute hippo with my copics and then fussy cut her out.  I added a bit of sparkly washi at the bottom so that she is kind of doing a tight rope split lol. I'm entering this mixed media piece in the following

Well there's a brand new release image by Unky over at the East Wind Etsy store . And because it's a Lucy Loo I just HAD to play with her. However I'm very sad because I made a video to share with you all and my memory card bugged... and so the video didn't register properly :( I was playing in one of my junk journal, the one that I made for my vacation last year but didn't really use. I found a sentiment in a magazine that I thought would go well with her. The background to the page is done in Panpastel.  I had done the entire book that way to have some sort of background.  I used some of my newest washis :)  love love love washi (you can see my haul's videos about that lol).  The image was colored with my copics and then I fussy cut her out.  I added some gel roll pen to her wings.  I also used a silicone mat to do some stamping.  And I got some paper scraps from a fellow youtuber and used some of it here.
