Hi there, remember me?!

It's been quite a while since I posted anything. Truth be told, I haven't had a lot of time to do any crafting. Between work and family I've been overworked and overrun by life. I've also re-focused/ expanded my crafting on mixed media/art journaling and paper crafting. I still do cards and scrapbook but not as much as I used to.

I wanted to show you all a art journal page I did, this was inspired by two different art journaling classes I did at two different stores. The one above was done at Scrap Addicts, the one below was done at The Inked Stamper. Unfortunately, The Inked Stamper closed their doors earlier this year. 

These two pages inspires me to do this,

 

Don't you just love Dina Wakley's scribbly birds, I know I do.

 

A Male Card!

I do so many female type cards that I thought that I would attempt to do a male one today!

This little froggy is actually part of a set from Doodle Pantry called Quirky Frog.

Now I'm not a frog lover but I think this one is pretty cute!!

This card is being entered into the following challenges,

CDAC - Inspiration 

Doodle Pantry - Use any Doodle Panty Image

Outlaws - CAS

Cards for Men - April Fools

The Bringer of Spring!!

The seasonal challenge over at CDAC is running from April 1 to June 30.

The idea is to show what the weather is like where you are, well, about 2 weeks ago

the sun was shinning bright and people were wearing light jackets.

Last week, we got hit with yet another snow storm, and it snowed all weekend. 

Now, the sun is out and everything is quickly melting away, not sure that's a good thing.

That's why I used this image from Sylvia Zet, owner of Wee Digital Stamps, she's 

called Spring Bringer. That's right, I believed that using this cute spring fairy 

would help push winter away for good, and so far so good. No signs that 

winter will rare it's ugly head again, 

okay at least for the next few days, after all I do live in Alberta where the weather changes ever so quickly. ;)

I'm entering this card into CDAC's Seasonal Fun Challenge and

Flutter By Wednesdays, anything goes with a fairy or butterfly.

Thinking of you!!

I love, love, love this image from Bugaboo Stamps! 

I of course used Copic Markers to colour and used Prima's

Lyric paper pad collection, love it!! Inked everything in Vintage Photo Distress ink

added some roses,stickles and bling.

I love the way it turned out!!

This card is being entered into the "Anything Goes" challenge. The focal point on this card

 was made by using Rangers Melting Pot, UTEE and Graphic Gears

texture treads.Some perfect pearl powder was add for color and perfect pearl 

black spray was added to the card.

Just in case you can't see what Tim's brass plate says, 

it says, embrace imperfection. 

Think this makes a wonderful man card!!

 

Digital No-Lines!

This card will be entered into CDAC's 1-2-3 Challenge, just in the nick of time as you only have a few more hours left to complete the challenges over there. I used the No-Lines technique again but this time on a Digital stamp by Tiddly Inks. When printing out the image, I changed the colour to a light grey. The image is called Faythe Flies and can be found here. I just love this image she is so cute.
