 I'm on a little bit of an art journal roll!

Have you had a chance to play along with the art journal challenge over at Anything But a Card?

It's sponsored by me, and it's been great fun getting to see all the fab art journal creations!

Today I have another page and I got the prompt from Smeared and Smudged

the prompt for today day 4 is GROWTH

So I got inky, and flowery, and made this really fun page!

 Here you can see how I popped up a number of the flowers!

Are you getting creative today?

Are you sharing it with us?

Ahhh I can feel the stress leaving my body when I get some ink on my fingers!

 

 

Follow your Heart

Hello!

After making a card for my sisters birthday I decided I would play a little bit in my art journal.

There is a great daily challenge going on right now at smeared and smudged,

And today's art journal prompt is "hearts"

I hope you are getting some crafty time today!

Remember if you are doing any art journal stuff to link it up with my 

mini challenge at Anything But a Card.

 Did you come by way of the Anything But a Card Challenge?

I hope so!

I'm sharing this art journal page with you all today!

 

I've been working on some lettering, and especially on using my black and white pens to create letters

I like the effect.

The daisy stamp is from Stampendous, and I'm going to join in with their "new years resolution" challenge, I interpreted this by using my One Little Word "change"

last year my word was "believe" and it really did make a difference for my year!

So this year my word is Change!

I hope you are checking out the Art Journal Challenge at Anything But a Card, and keep on creating!

It's great for the soul!  

12 tags of 2014: January

Wow! Two posts in one day?

I had a little bit of crafting time today, and a tag was on the menu!

As in one of Tim Holtz' 12 tags of 2014.

I was superbly happy that I mostly had everything I needed for to play along!

So here is my version....

I did my best to follow along with Tim's instructions, but did have to improvise on some things!

You can find his tutorial here

and here are a few close ups of my work!  

 

Oooooh and I got to use one of my "new to me stamps!"

This should be the moto of my craft room!

 Happy Saturday friends!

Well, you know what Saturday brings right??

Another DT post for Just Some Lines!

This week I am celebrating the fact that "my" team (the Denver Bronco's)

have made it to the Super Bowl (to be played Feb 2nd or so!!!)

 

  I made this ATC using their colors Blue and Orange,

and I added the Go Team sign where it once said Thank You.

Have you been playing along with the favorite color combo over at Just Some Lines? 

If not, hop on over and share your project! Just remember to use a JSL digi!

Fun in the sun

 Happy Monday!!

I'm here again with another calendar page to share with you!

 

These pic's were all taken on our honeymoon to Hawaii (3 years ago!)

But they really seemed to fit for the July calendar page!

The background paper is from DCWV, and the striped paper behind the pictures

is from Crate Paper (ohhhhh how I LOVE Crate Paper!)

The stickers were in a pack I bought a while back.

Are you making some crafty time this week?

I hope you're sharing it with someone!
