Anything Goes Swap

You would like a theme such as Anything Goes would be freeing, but to be honest it just wasn't this time. I sat up till about 12pm last night creating this one. I'm proud of the outcome, but it was a lot of thinking and playing to create it. I tried something different cutting my main focal point out as a circle normally I cut around the person. I love the Tim Holtz Cherish charm and I always love being able to use my scrap paper. Pin It Now!

Signature Cards

My dearest and best friend Tabitha suggested a signature swap and I am game for just about anything, but not exactly inspired by the concept, but today she posted hers and I was inspired. So here are my two signature cards. I might do more, but not sure. Pin It Now!

Inspired

Well I'm inspired. I created this piece for a ATC swap at my local stamp store. The theme is music. So I was going to do dancers and use the tim holtz dance step background stamp. I tried playing with it and didn't like how is was coming out so I went to my trusty computer and to google images and searched "girl with headphones" and found this girl. Of course I'm not going to settle so I kept looking but kept thinking about her. So I went back. I printed off 6 of her and then took out my trusty sharpies and started coloring. I'm loving how they are coming out so much that I decided to create a framed piece using 9 of them for myself. and three for trade. The girls are all colored. There lips have a crackle finish on them backgrounds are cut. Now I just have to cut the rest of the girls out and pop them on a piece of cardstock to match their lips. Tomorrow I will hopefully have them finished. Pin It Now!

No pictures Part 2

Okay today I did do something, but I can't share a picture cause it is for a special trade. It was blocking me for almost 2 weeks. I started it and stared at for the longest time unfinished and today it came together. I'm glad it is done. I'm proud of it. I still have a bunch of trades to get together and hopefully tomorrow I will be able to get some of them done. Pin It Now!

Again no pictures

Well today wasn't much of a creation day. I cleaned and played today. I went to a stamp store after visiting my great grandmother in the hospital and bought a set of tim's holtz's new stamp sets (ATC backgroud sized ones). I played with them for awhile. Not really creating anything. I thought it would create something for up coming swaps, but not really. I cleaned my scrapbook room to make a mess again and tomorrow morning I will probably clean it again. I have quite a few swaps that I want to do stuff for but I'm having a problem. Oh well I'm sure something will come out of my head and hands. So I wrote 3-4 pages in my journal so that was something I guess. Oh well I'm off to bed. Maybe tomorrow will produce some pictures. Pin It Now!

No pictures today

I don't have pictures today cause my batteries are dead in all my cameras. Sad the scrapbooker is without cameras. Oh well. I did some creating today. I got three coffee themed ATCs done today pictures will come as soon as I get batteries. I'm pretty inpressed with them. I used some new techinques. I have been watching Tim Holtz's demo videos. I suggest them highly. Very useful info. I learned some new ways to use my distress inks which spark one of my favorite things, a trip to Micheal's lol. I bought a new distress ink (frayed Burlap) I bought the blender tool, and a set of new Tim Holtz stamps... oh ya I also bought a pack of mini misters. They are such as little thing but I great tool especially when using distress ink. I didn't know that distress ink reacts to water. Silly me. lol. So fun new toys. I saw the new paper and walked right by. Doesn't help that I have bought four paper packs in the last two months and haven't used even a quarter of them. My boyfriend told that we are going to have to work on my impulse buying. I told him that I never regret my purchases. He just came back with well if you would wait a day or two you could get it for cheaper (he is a online shopper). I don't know what it is I have a problem with buying craft supplies online. You have to touch it. pick it up, put it down and pick it up again. Yes that is how I shop. At least one item get put away, one gets pick up repeatly before buying. This evening The Tim Holtz mask was put back the stamp set was picked up put back picked up again. I love craft shopping!!! lol. Pin It Now!
