Artful day

Ok well I can't get the hang of the new way blogger is which is disappointing.  I want things a certain way and it wont let me do it how I want.  Oh well.  Well today was nice time with some art friends then I went home and visited with my uncles, my aunt, my one uncles girlfriend and my little cousins, so over all today was a good day.  Today was my best friends birthday so HAPPY BIRTHDAY Tabitha!!!  It was a nice time creating with my friends from the vintage room.  I got a lot started then after my uncles left I did some finishing.  We created 1 inchie block and one twincie block.  I had all my images planned out then came home and did some embellishing.  I left the party with a warm feeling and I enjoy every minute I spend with my art friends... I guess I shouldn't just call them they are my friends.  Which in my world means so much more.  Anyway.  When I got home I played with my little projects and then remember that at the last gathering I started another inchie block and never finished so what did I do.  I finished so now now half finished art sitting around its all finished for the most part.  I am very proud today.

*** I just wanted to let you know I used my new Tim Holtz Disstress crackle rock candy on the bigger block. The stuff is amazing.  It gives awesome texture to and flat surface and gives pictures that little bit more.  I also think its neat that it flakes in sections to give that little bit more aging.  Tim Holtz you are amazing!

Valentine's Day LFB pages

Well yesterday evening I spent some time at my local stamp store Stampassion and did some creating.  It was a wonderful evening that got me out of the house for a couple of hours and allowed me to visit with some friends (old and new).  And by old I mean friends I have only known for a year or so but couldn't imagine life without now.  Now normally when I visit the ladies for LFBC I don't get much done.  I use it as a social time and get easily distracted by all the goodies in the store, but last night was an unusual evening I guess.  I completed 2 LFB pages.  One for my self you can see on the left and one for a trade the one below.  The theme for the trade was Valentine's day and we had to include three inchies from other artist.  I find it fun to create a two part trade.  Something different.  I'm always looking for something different it keeps me creating.

Well I'm off to do some organizing in my scrapbook room maybe some purging.  I might start a new friend on scrapbooking and I love to pass stuff off to the next person who will use it cause I'm not. Enjoy and keep on crafting!!!

Actually Scrapbooking

Well I have been very busy over the last couple of days getting ready for a Labor day picnic my mom was having on Saturday, but I had gotten some new pictures to play with and yesterday I had the day to work for the most part undistrubed in my scrapbook room. So I put some finishing touches on some layouts that I will show at a later time and started and finished this layout of my last ATC group gathering. I took inspiration from the group and what its about to create this layout. The vintage looking paper, the vintage ribbons, the over all feeling of friendship and that feeling I get from creating something for the group ( I used the title and the crowns to demonstrate that). So here are the Queens of the Vintage Room. A wonderful group of ladies that have accepted me as an artist and a friend. They are a truly amazing group of women. I can't wait to see then later this month.

Products used: Patterned paper (prima marketing), vintage buttons (unknown), Vintage Ribbon (unknown), Key, metal butterfly, paper embellishment, gold bird(making memories), Mini Masks, distress inks, distress stickles, grundge board letters, metal "altered" charm (Tim Holtz), exopy stickers (unknown), Heart (chatterbox).
