Hoping to be crafty today

Well Tabitha is coming over. For those of you just tuning in she is my bestie and Fellow "Tree Killer" as my lovely little cousin called us after seeing my scrapbook paper rack full of paper. We not only create amazing things together but we get each other in shopping trouble (Micheal's is our addiction). Anyway I hope to be productive today, but who knows. I have some picture developed some Gift ideas to possiblely make and sell on craig's list. We'll see. Off to get the rest of my supplies ready to go. I will hopefully be able to post pretty pictures later of my art. TTYL Pin It Now!

Mother Layout

Let me start off with this is one of my all time favorite pictures of my mom and I. I knew as soon as I saw it that it was going to be an 8x10 so I sent it to cvs along with some other childhood photos and it was the first layout I did yesterday at my Former boss lady and one of my favorite creative lady's house. I kept looking at it and knew something was missing that I didn't have with me so I put it aside and moved on to another layout. Then I this morning I went to Morethenjustscrapbooking.com and saw that they had a sketch challenge for this month that looked really close to my already partly done layout. So I put the sketch into paint and flipped a couple times to get something closer to my layout then added some key elements (the swirl from Tim Holtz after being inked and the flower and button from Prima Marketing). I pretty please with the final product!! Enjoy below are the original Sketch and the one I got from playing around.

Altered Book

I was hesitant on this project but I was convinced by a few of my fellow altered artist. So here is my spin on my Altered School Book Cover. It was oringally a blue book with a white binding. I think I did a good job. I though Graduation was a good subject to focus on. I'm sure the other girls in this swap did more general stuff and to be honest I was going to the same way till I looked at my school papers and noticed I didn't have that much school paper and had a lot of graduation stuff and I'm on a new kick use what you have. I have only bought cardstock in the last month, which I don't know when I'll get it because I ordered it from orintal trading company. Pin It Now!

I've been a little too busy to create

I hate when life gets like this. Busy busy busy. So today I'm working in my scrapbook room in a different way. I stripped it, so nothing is on the floor and now I'm cleaning the carpet. Sadly having a younger dog in the house and a older dog who was formerly abused. We still have accidents in the house and my scrapbook room has been the target of said accidents, so I borrowed a steam cleaner from my boyfriend and that is my focus for the day. Cleaning the scrapbook room rug. I can't wait to go in there without stepping in a puddle. Oh I also bought a baby gate so no more unattended dogs allowed in there. Only my cats it gives them a place to hangout without the threat of attack of Penny (our 1 year old beagel puppy). They enjoy sleeping in the window or in the middle of my creative mess on the table. Anyway time to get back to it. Enjoy a creative day for me cause I can't. Oh well. Pin It Now!

A very special gift

I'm proud to complete this. It is a special gift that I'm going to send to my grandparents in NC that I haven't seen in over 15 years. I just got back in touch with them a week ago and I thought this would be the perfect little gift that I could send so they can enjoy. It was all done with Basic Grey Papers, and the album is about 3 1/4x 3 1/2 very small but perfect to mail. It is from Close to My Heart. Pin It Now!

Just for Tabitha

Okay Tabitha is complaining she wants to see something new. So here it is... My little fat book page I'm not sure if I would call it finished but who knows what I think it needs. This was done as an inspiration for my newest swap on our Artist Trading Card Group. All the stuff that was used was from Grapic 45 a beautiful paper company found at a local stamp store Stampassion. I don't get there often, but when I do I normal get stamps, but this time I was so struck by this paper I just had to get it. Of course I glamed it up with some stickles and some real vintage ribbon I got from my friend Berta. Now I'm just looking at it thinking is there anything else it needs?? I don't want to over do it, but we will see. enjoy Tabitha and of course I value your opinion Does it need something?? Pin It Now!

Blushing Bride II

Well I loved my bride so much that I made one for myself. lol. I think I'm going to make one more as a Hostess gift to the hostess. Normally I don't like recreating LFB pages I don't know why, but this one came out so cool. Pin It Now!
