Just Some Lines and Anything But a Card

Hey all!

So if you read my blog last week you know that's I've started a new planner/

art journal with Documented life. 

I figured this is a great place to try some new techniques.

For this page I used up some of my excess papers that mask off

my projects from errant spritzes of ink!

I cut them up into flowers, and glued them down to the page.

Then I added the fab girl from Just Some Lines floating in a sea of flowers.

The design team at Just Some Lines is going on hiatus for the summer.

But there are a bunch of new fun digis in the shop!

 

And at Anything But a Card the challenge this month is.....

Summer Lovin...

What do you have planned for this summer?

Do you float in the pool, play on the beach, or camp in the mountains,

come over and share your summer with us!

 

 



Summer

 If you do a google search for summer

you get quite a few pictures of the beach and seashells and flip flops

If you're like me and your stuck in the desert in 100++ degree weather

then your summer looks more like air conditioning and any iced beverage!

And hopefully an afternoon or two in the pool!

 

No seashells, no beaches,

However, summer always brings to mind some fun bright colors,

and it always makes me miss my family on the east coast!

So for the Summer Challenge over at Fussy and Fancy Friday

I pulled out all my brigh scraps,

and I made this fun card.

Bright bright bright,

then I took the card outside to photograph it and it was Bright out there too!

I hope you will come along and check out the fabulous Summer creations from my fellow

Design Team members!

Card two ways

 Good afternoon,

I have had this post sitting in my drafts for a few weeks apparently!

I figure why not go ahead and share it today!

And the best part is that both of these cards are still available in my Etsy Shop!

 

I just love love love this sentiment!

"Be Strong, go with your heart, and believe in miracles.. because anything can happen"

I've decided that one of the paper companies needs to come out with

a whole paper pack that is only woodgrain!

And if any of you out there know of some such paper pack please let me know

who has it and where I could possibly get one!

I also of course love this May Arts ribbon, teal, chevron, what's not to like?

 

So, I went ahead and made another copy in red

With a bit of a Sewing theme.



I am sooo soo sooo in love with that wooden button,

I have had a lot of luck with antique buttons as of late, and this one is just amazingly fabulous!

I love the look of vellum, but I do have a hard time making it stay

attached to anything!

So I've resorted to brads.

They are perfect for vellum!

I also like small staples or sewing.

All are a good tip for using vellum.

 

I hope you are getting crafty this week, come back tomorrow for my Fussy and Fancy Friday

post, then on Saturday I'll have the last Just Some Lines post till the end of the summer,

and Sunday it'll be a post for Anything But a Card.

All are going to be wonderful, and I hope you'll spend some time on my blog this weekend.

 

Remember if you love this card as much as I do, it can be yours, hop over to the Etsy Shop to pick it up!  

Documented life

I'm super excited to share a new project with you all today!
It was another killers work last week!
And lots of work leaves little time for creativity!
 However I did stumble upon this amazing project last week, and I wanted to join that second!
It's called Documented Life.
One part art journal, one part planner, and a challenge to boot!
There is a challenge every Sunday,
Something you can add to your planner,
And they really challenge you to document what's going on in your life.
This week the challenge is to draw a house.
Since that is pretty much out of my talent ability right now, I put one together with some
Scraps that have been hanging out! 

 The house was so big and looming,

So I did some doodling on one side! 

And then I had to add the heart, because home really is where the heart is! 

I'm so so soexcitedfor this new challenge, and so excited to be doings early journaling again! 

If you want to join this awesome project there is a Facebook page here,

 And you check out the blog here! 

More flowers with fussy and fancy

 I gotta tell you all that I've been working non-stop,

and there is something about working all the time that sucks up all my creativity!

I feel like on my days off I just wanna veg!

Am I the only one that feels tis way??

Maybe so!

 

Anyways, I hope you all have been playing along with the flowers challenge

at Just some Lines!

For my creation this week I pulled out some very flowery

papers that I have to be honest I would never use on a full size layout!

So I cut out a tag, and colored up my image, then I popped her onto a flower,

on top of the flower tag!

A quick stamp on the bottom from Unity Stamps, and bam, a perfect little addition to

a package, or just to add to my tag collection!

 

Just a to point out a little detail, the charm around her neck was just a circle,

I took out my black Smash Pen, and made it into a flower!

 

Hope you're playing along, I can't wait to see your creations!  

Announcing a Winner!!!!

The places you'll go

I have a bit of a confession

I've been holding off on this post for a few weeks.

A special order was placed for a card very similar to this,

So I didn't want to post the card until the recipient had gotten hers.

I am loving this saying for graduation,

And after making a few for the etsy shop,

It's perfect for the graduate, and it was super fun to make, 

and it used up a bunch of my scraps! 

I hope you're getting your crafty on,
