New Ct and some more art journal pages

Woohooo! I have been VERY neglectful to my poor blog. But I am back again with some art journal pages to share and a new CT to gush about! :) Here are me lastest pages from my art journal that I did this week. I am determined to finish this thing so hopefully I will have lots more pages coming!!!

OK this one is my ode to turning 29 a few weeks ago and I must say it is my favorite just because the journaling is so exactly how I feel about this whole 1 year left till 30 business....

I also have been offered spots on a number of new CT teams!! One of them is a super talented designer Flora aka Three Sweet Chicks. Her templates ROCK by the way you should check her out at her store Here She also has a new charity colab comeing out that is gorgous....here is a sneak peak for you.

Hope everyone is well and hopefully I'll be back sooner rather than later! LOL Happy scrapping!

More Art Journal Pages

Some more art journal pages to share. I know I am really stinking at this blogging thing but hey I am always running behind so I guess at least I'm true to form. The first and second pages use kits from some super talented ladies who go by the designs name ViVa Artistry and you should really check them out over at thedigichick.com. The last uses stuff from the ever incredible Tangie Baxter who got me started with this whole art journal mess. :) I love it! I never realized how nice it is to make something so personal and expresive just for yourself. These pages are some of my all time favorites and I'm sure I'll keep making more to add to that list.

Thanks for looking and happy scrapping!!

Art Journal Valentine

My husband is sooooo sweet and he sent me a bunch of poems on Valentines Day through my e-mails, text messages and facebook. So I kept finding sweet little things he wrote for me all day and even a couple days later. But I didn't think about doing anything since we were on vacation and were going to be at the parades all day. Well this is my attempt at making it up to him since I was such a horrible wife this Valentine's Day. So here is a belated valentine for my Soulmate and the most wonderful husband who ever lived!

I would copy the journaling but it is kinda mushy so if you really want to read it I think you can click the image to enlarge or look in my scrapbook graphics gallery and you can see it better there. Hope everyone has a great day!!!

A Couple more pages

I have a few more pages to share with you from my Art Journal, which I am terribly behind on. The first is my take on the verb Believe. The second is something I came up with for the verb accept. It is symbolic of my journey of acceptance. The negative emotions are at the bottom in the darker part with the positive emotions at the top in the lighter and happier part of my life. Hope you enjoy!

Fulfill-week 1 My Art Journal

My word for 2010 is FULFILL. Here is my week one art journal page. I really like the happy tone it took on, not in the best of moods right now so I am glad it came out cheerful.

I want to try and get in another page this week about fear and courage. Hopefully later in the week. I got to buy a ton of stuff on sale for $1 from Kasia Designs so I am super excited to scrap some with that. This is my first of my Kasia pages and I am sure many more to come and also some CT work I have been working on and maybe a freebie or two also. Keeping this short so I can get to bed and get some sleep tonight because last night was not the greatest. Happy scrapping!

Art Journal

I had the opportunity to join Studio Tangie's Art Journal Caravan and decided to hop on board. Here is the cover of my journal and I decided I was going to go digital but print my pages at home and then add them to a moleskine journal, which I still have to purchase :) But that will allow me to do some non digital stuff also if I get the urge.

Looking forward to the journey and one of our first week assignments was to pick a word for 2010 and my word is FULFILL. I think it descrides what I want to get from this year for lots of reasons but mostly because I have a tendancy to start things and not finish and my goal for this art journal is to finish it. Hope everyone's new year started great!! Be back with more to share soon :)

A new start

So my poor blog has been VERY neglected!! I am starting a new year and I want to give my blog a fresh new start too. I want to post more about me, my life, my photos, what I have going on and my layouts of course :) I am going to participate in Tangie's Art Journal Caravan and I am really excited about doing something for ME! I think it will help me to have something that I do simply as a way to express myself. I am still giving designing a break and I am really not sure what will happen with that because I just don't forsee having the time needed to devote to it. I still have my one store open at CSD so I guess we'll see. I want to share my art journal pages on here so be on the lookout for that and of course the occasional freebie too :) But for now hopefully I can give my blog a new look and such before the new year. I'll be back and enjoy the last little bit of this decade!! I have big plans for the next one!
