Finished Product

Okay I decided to finish my recycled LFB page I like it but don't. What can I do, sometimes I love 'em and sometimes I don't. Oh well. Pin It Now!

Possible Recycle LFB page

I didn't tape anything down. I am just playing, the swap that it is for is a Recycle theme. It needs to be 80% recycled. I'm not sure if I love it. I like the concept, I like the simplity, but I have a slight problem with the Monocromatic color scheme. It is something I have never really done before, so I think I'm unsure because of my inexperience with it.

Paris Finally

Well after hours of sitting in my craft room I have finally came up with my Paris ATCs. Yippie I am very happy, so happy in fact I created an extra cause I wanted one for myself!! Pin It Now!

Who knew...

Something so small could make such a big mess.


This is Tabitha fault. I was playing around last night and getting frustrated that I could not produce three concepts for three atc in our Effil Tower swap, so I decided to play with my new valentine's day supplies I picked up yesterday when I went to Micheal's with my grandmother. So I created a couple inchies which lead to more inchies and in total I ended up creating 9 inchies last night. So in total in the last two weeks I have created 15 valentine's day inchies. Addicted for the moment much. lol Pin It Now!

Fabulous 50s swap

I have been feeling a slight block the last week or so... but that could be due to the fact that I have been creating for a baby shower mentioned in my previous post. So I have been sitting in my craft room the last couple of days playing with a Paris swap but didn't get anywhere I wanted with it. So today I went to Micheal's and picked up some new products to push me in the right direction. I have picked up some valentine's day stuff for some valentine's stuff I want to create, new cool stamps set with an Eiffel tower on it to use in my Eiffel tower/Paris swap and some really cool recipe cards with 50s ladies on them with cool saying to use in a fabulous 50s swap. I didn't want to seem like I copied my besties so left out the saying and used DCWV Mod(?) stack paper with cool retro sayings like "gee whiz" and "Oh, heavens to Betsy". They are not my favorite cards i have done but they came out cute. I'm hoping this is a step in the right direction as far as my block.

Thank you cards

The last couple weeks have been creatively consumed by a friend of mine's baby shower. I am helping her sister plan and create center pieces, invites, thank you cards, and favors. The party isn't for awhile but we wanted to get the creative stuff done before moving on to other things. We have designed and created 80 invitations, 14 centerpiece toppers and we started the thank you cards this past friday. It has been alot of fun creating with the mommy and Auntie to be. Lilly-Jaye (the baby) will have the best baby shower ever and she will know that she is very loved by all involved.

Yippie I created some art

Well I said I was gonna get back to work in my art studio and I tried. I sat there for awhile the other day... and nothing I pulled stuff out and looked at mags for inspiration... nothing. so I did what I normally do when I'm not inspired I walked away and bummed around for a couple of days then created 80 invitations for a baby shower for a friend with my mom, said friend's sister and my bestie Tabitha. I'm proud of them but I really wanted to do something in the altered art relem of things. Well today I decided was the day. I took apart my vaccum and cleaned, vaccumed my rugs, did some dishes, played with the dog, cut the cats nails, uploaded pictures to facebook and then I finally made myself go in to my art room and start working. I picked out the images, stamps and anything valentine's day-ish and started to play. I have only done inches once before at christmas time and Tabitha told me the rule of thumb was an image, a word, and a little do-dad (aka gem, etc) to me this concept is too simple. I of course had a hard time going from a 12x12 page to an 8x8 page, then 8x8 to 6x6 as a scrapbooker then Tabitha pushed me to play with 2 1/2x 3 ATC then of course LFB which are 4x4 and now 1x1. So after making my first one for this swap I thought that was too simple so I gave myself I little challenge. The six inches I needed to make needed to be contected some how so I came up with "Love is..." each inchies includes a word that completes that sentance. And yes those words are no completely true in the real world cause nothing is perfect. lol, but it work with my concept. Enjoy my "Love is..." inchies and hopeful I will be posting more art this evening and then again maybe not. TTYL Pin It Now!
