This is My life :)

I Made this super Quick book with my new bind it all last night at 2am while Jeff was watching Star Trek(Hes a big tattooed nerd LOL). JK i watch it some times too so i guess im a tattooed nerd 2!!!!I just took some cardboard that came with an Internet order i received and cut it to 5"x7" and painted it white doodled on it and placed some felt over it. The letters are die cut letters from Luxe Designs and the little bird and flower are foam from Michael's. It makes me happy!! I'm retarded and only put like 6 sheets of paper in it. Jenn said that might last me a day or 2 but not a month :) Shes right but this is pretty and can sit on my desk with all of the other stuff that i make for no other reason then to amuse my self. The idea for the book came from the current webisode on scrapinstyletv! I love that site check it out NOW. Ok I'm off to surf the web for art supplies for a swap I'm doing. Jenn left the book Scraptastic over here....IM NOT GIVING IT BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im in love with yet another book. 3rd winner this year(life artist and Journal revolution are the other 2 check them out 2 they rock) Stop stalkin and go make something :)

Sneak peek

Here is a sneak peek of what i am currently working on!
Its a mini book with affirmations for myself on every page. Journal Revolution was a huge inspiration for making this journal. I have been trying not to put my self in a scrappin box, and that book really changed my way of crafting. I need to continue to grow and not get stuck on what everyone else thinks is "Good Art". I need to BE ME!!! I think i needed to be told that if i mess up its ok(doesn't everyone?) Anyway, I used the obscure line from Basic Grey through out the book as well as LOTS of paint( that's why its on my hand LOL) Jenn snapped this cute pic at our all day crop at the Scrapbook barn on sat!!! Thanks Jenn this pic rocks my socks:) I'm hoping to finish it this week so i can work on an ART Journal for a class that I'm teaching at the Barn in May. Nite bloggin buddies!!!!

OK PEOPLE LISTEN UP!!!

I have decided that today.... Sundays i guess.....I will post some of my random inspirations. why you ask? cus everyone else is doing it and we all might learn something!!!!
Heres number one. These are amazing and AHEM if any of you know me IRL you could maybe slip one of these my way in june for my birthday(I'll get back to you with my ring size:)Carissa is actually the inspiration piece and one of my super many favs.....Im gonna make paper look like this one day this week(wish me luck!) Im on a big messy paint kick this month. I have been painting in my kitchen(i like to stand up to paint!) ok back on topic now......Number Two This card rocks my socks! I made it on a crazy 1 AM card making frenzy the other day. I love the colors and texture and the pattern. I just love everything about it. Paper: Bazzil, Creative Imaginations, Ribbon: ??? I dont know but i hope i have more, Tag: Embossed tag from prima i think? I painted it with making memories paint and then covered it with ultra thick embossing powder 2 times to get that orange peel texture then added a rub on by Jenni Bowlin with was slightly difficult but i worked it out LOL. These are currently my fav colors so thats where the inspiration is for you:)

Last but not least I believe that everyone should branch out and try something new so check out the galleries here and pick something that you have never tried before and do it!!! Jenn I challenge you to make clay buttons(and some for me) You know you want to :) I hope you guys find something useful in these inspirations. if i can get a pic of it Ill show you the craziest inspiration piece or should i say building!!!!

Tinkering around


I love how this layout turned out. All of the paper is from tinkering ink!! Possibly one of my favorite lines right now!!! The side images were cut with the nestabilities, and doodled on with a gel pen. I actually hand wrote the journaling.....um ya I hate my handwriting so this is a big deal. Even if you can see it in the picture you prob still cant read it LOL. It says: Up, up, and away we go.....To Vegas baby!!! This is Jeff and I at dfw airport in feb 07. We're going to stay at Nico's condo cus I won a Halloween contest! Jeff is sleepy from working the night before and I am ready to gamble!!! I brought max my teddy bear, some mags, and my Ipod and camera. Jeff brought his portable DVD player and ipod with him. were ready for a great trip.


Ok so the journaling is messy and not necessarily magical writing, but its a big step for me. Since i read Ali Edwards book Life artist, I have felt a renewed spirit for scrap booking our memories. I want to remember small things like this forever!!!! Hope you enjoyed the lo!!! I'm typing in a ton of stuff on blogger tonight so be ready :) I hope to be sharing more on a regular basis. My life is finally starting to calm down after sickness and mayhem the past month. Oh ya......I GOT A JOB AT A SCRAPBOOK STORE!!!!!!! yes I know Its a dream job, and I am so happy!!!! Hopefully life will go back on the up swing now! Harmony.....I'm still working on it :) ******I just realized that only one picture is showing up, so i readded the other one. So While your reading this ( and im sleeping lol) I have a feeling there will be three pics instead of 2 cus blogger hates me :( Ill try and fix it again tomorrow if i can!!!!
