She Art girl card

When I spotted the Dreamer stamp in the CTMH catalog I was instantly drawn to this girl. I love to do mixed media projects and making She Art girls in one of my favorite! This card was one that we made at my Dreamer card class this past weekend!

Dream Girl Card

This card is blank inside, perfect for adding a birthday or Thank You sentiment inside. Using embossing folders adds a great touch to any card, especially one with mostly cardstock.

Project Life 20: Week 10 and 11

 Lately I have been paying attention to how I go about planning/starting my pages. Of course I start with the photos and a sketch, but from there I discovered that I go by color. That prompted me to change the way I store my embellishments. Before I had thing sorted by type and located in different locations. I picked up a organizer from Home Depot (for screws and such) and put everything (or almost everything) in this by color. You can see 3 of the drawers above.

 Week 11 was the 1st 2 page spread that I had done in a long time. I have been watching some videos on project life over at Two Peas and I really like how the filler cards are used. I challenged myself this week to use more cards.

Art Projects

 I am currently taking several online art classes- Here are few of my projects. You can even find some of these for sale in my Etsy Store. Click here to shop.

all things are possible

This card is also one that we will be making over the weekend at my Dreamer card class!

Dream card

This card is one that we will be making at my Dreamer card class this Saturday. Of all the cards this one is my favorite, I think it's because that wood flourish is just perfect!

Wishing you happiness and SUNSHINE

I colored this hot air balloon with the CTMH markers in about 5 minutes! I love alcohol markers, they dry quick and blend easy!

happy birthday trailer card

The trailers are back! I just can't get enough of them! For this card I used the tiny trailer on one of the card patterns from the Make it From Your Heart book. (Vol 1, I think) I added some glitter paper and a rhinestone button to finish it off!

just for you feather cards

Happy Friday all! Here are a couple of mini cards that I have made! I used the Feather's stamp set that I was so in love with last month.
If you are in the Lubbock area mark your calendars for this class!

Project Life 2014: Week 8 & 9

 I had quite a few photos this week, I really should have used a 2 page spread, but I try to stick with one to keep my books thinner. We went out of town and I used my Facebook check ins of one of my group of photos.

 In my last Studio Calico shipment I got a free set of color chips. The #8 one went very well with this weeks colors so I used it as me week number.

 I wasn't very inspired for week 9, I just wasn't feeling the crafting thing. It turned out OK, but I wasn't happy with it. One thing I did like is using larger photos in the 2x2 slots. If you want to do this you have to choose the photo well. The photo of the art project I made ended up being cut right in the focal point.
