Mojo Monday Sketch #383

Howdy All!
I have a quick post today showing you the card I made for this week's Mojo Monday sketch.

Here is this weeks sketch:

And here is my card:

As you can see, I tipped the sketch on it's side to create my card. I just got this stamp set and I wanted to use it asap! I broke out my New Stampin' Up! Blendabilities to color this adorable image.

Here is my supply list (All products are Stampin' Up!)
Stamps: From The Herd - Occasions Catalog
Paper: Whisper White, Crushed Curry, Soft Suede, Coastal Cabana, Best Year Ever DSP - Sale-a-Bration

Well, that's pretty much it for today! Short and Sweet. 
Thanks a bunch for stoppin' by!
See you again soon.

My iw1.21.15 Journal Page

Howdy All!
So, I finally finished my 2nd Inspiration Wednesday journal pages. Yay! This one took me a few days to complete because I needed some dry time between layers.

To start things off, I made my own stamped tissue paper. Super fun and easy and look how great it turned out.

Here is what I had after 2 days and a few different layers. When I added the 2,3 and 7 number stickers I realized that is my birthday (March 27) so I added the 6 & 5 for my birth year.

I added a definition of Birthday, and ripped up a copy of a photo from when I was 1 year old. See if you can find my face. I love that I have writing on some of the photo pieces from my mom too. Added some extra heavy gesso to add interest and texture.

Some more glazing to 'dirty things up' and my "brown hole' tag with the date of the lesson. I wasn't sure if I wanted to date the actual date that I finished my pages or the date of the lesson, but for reference purposes I went with the lesson date.

The final touch is some ink splatters.

Here is a close up of the finished pages. I love everything about it!  

I would love to hear what you think. If you are interested in learning about art journaling, check out what Donna Downey has to offer!

My iw1.7.15 Journal Page

Howdy All!
Well, it has been just about a year since I posted anything to my Blog! Pretty bad, I know. I have been busy with work, kids, grand babies and life, but am also squeezing in time for my creativity. Four weeks ago I took a leap and signed up for an online Mixed Media Journal class by Donna Downey. She is amazing and I really like her art style. Here are pics of my first ever art journal page.

My favorite part of this page is all the texture! I have a feeling that is going to be something that I am going LOVE about art journaling and mixed media. I enjoyed working with the Light Molding Paste and am sure I will be using it again. This course is every-other Wednesday and will last for the whole year. I am very EXCITED to see where this will take me. Thanks a bunch for stopping by. I hope you will stop back to see what else I am doing. See you soon!

Hugs,
Sandy

Mojo Monday #332 on Wednesday

Howdy All!
It's been a while, I know! I am so glad to be getting settled back into a routine after the holidays and with my new job. I want to get back to participating in some of the awesome card challenges that are out there in Blog Land, so today I have a card that I created for this week's Mojo Monday. Here is the Sketch:

And here is my card:

 I made this for my 2 month old granddaughter, Leila Marijayne, who was born on December 13th. I am sure she won't really care about it, but my daughter-in-law will appreciate the effort!

 All products used are Stampin' Up!, though some are retired.
Thanks a bunch for stoppin' by!
I hope to be back on a regular basis again!
See you soon!

2013 Scrapbook Club - August & September Pages

Howdy All!
I am getting caught up on posting photos of my 2013 Scrapbook Club pages. Today I have August and September. I love how these pages came out and the Designer Series Papers in the new catalog are beautiful!

For my August layout I used the I Am Me dsp which was the inspiration for my pages. I love all the cameras on the one sheet so I decided to create one using punches! Pretty darn cute, huh?

 The 'faux' washi tape is just a strip of dsp torn in pieces to look like tape. I also added some polaroid frames using the Square Framelits.

 For my September pages I used some of the Epic Day This and That dsp.

 I also used some of my new favorite stamp sets - Gorgeous Grunge and Off The Grid.

My inspiration for this layout came from here.

Well, that's all for now!
Thanks a bunch for stoppin' by!
See you again soon.

2013 Scrapbook Club - June & July Pages

Howdy All!
Not a ton of chatter today. I've got pics of my June and July 2013 Scrapbook Club pages. Just a reminder that all products used for my pages are from Stampin' Up!

 Inspiration for this layout came from here.

 Inspiration for my July layout came from here.

 The larger Night of Navy star cutout is actually a punch on MDS. I transferred the file into my Silhouette Cameo, resized it and then had the machine cut them out! Very cool! I will be playing around some more with this for sure!

Well, That's all for now.
Thanks a bunch for stoppin' by!
See you again, soon.

May 2013 Scrapbook Club Pages

Howdy All!
Today I have my May 2013 Scrapbook Club pages along with my Bonus Card.

These pages were created using the Secret Garden stamp set and matching framelits.

 I pulled the colors from the Floral District DSP that now is retired.

 I love using stamp sets that have the matching Framelits, it really makes things so much easier!

 All products used are Stampin' Up! and were current in May.

Well, That's it for now. Thanks a bunch for stoppin' by.
See you again soon!

Hugs,
Sandy
