ARTFUL JOURNEYS - WEEK # 9 (Favorite quote)

Hello and welcome to week 9 of Artful Journeys  prompts.

Your Favorite Quote!!

Mine is "Never waste ten dollars on a .10 cent problem" Something my Nana use to

say to us kids all the time and I said it to my babes.

I started with a gesso on my pages and then I used a stencil with my new modeling paste, wooohoo I broke down and got it since Micheal's was having a %40 off sale. I used a tealish blue and a dragon blood pink acrylics. I used markers and pens for the lettering's and I even glued a dime down!!!

My grandson's got a kick out of that. I used a few new stamps a dear friend, Lisa sent em this week.

Here are a couple photos I took of my RAK of stamps and candles!!!! 

 These are double sided stamps, how cool are they?

Then she gave me many birthday related stamps, I shall never want for any now. Wooohooo!!!

 Here are the candles she sent, she is a "Party-lite" distributor. I just love them and the way they smell, yumminess!

Here is some newspapers I had on my art table for a few weeks, just collecting all my paints, inks and other goodies. Sopping it all up!! Well I used it on the front and back cover of an altered book I did just for me. 

 The cute dollie is from CBD and you can find her HERE

 I used some chunky charms I have gotten for gift's from happy mails.

I just love how it came out!!!

Ohhh here is my Artful Journey March calendar!! Yep it's my birthday month and I am so excited, said no 49 yr old women ever, but I am!!! A lot is going on in my life that I am trying to improve so I am really looking forward to what God has in store for me and my family.

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you soon.

My youngest grandson, Liam learning to master the fork and he is nailing it!!! LOL

ARTFUL JOURNEYS - WEEK # 8

Hello and welcome to week 8 of Artful Journeys  prompts.

"Things you think are beautiful – anything you like, but fill your pages with the stuff that really makes you happy!"

I started with gesso on my pages, then added some acrylic and wiped with baby wipe. I stamped using a blue ink. I had a napkin with pretty neon flowers, Once it dried I used sharpies to add dots and lace. I used a collage sheet doll from CBD . I added gems to her crown, outlined her with a pencil and pasted some eyes and a mouth from magazine cut out. Added black marker around them and added white marker pen dots. I also added black dots and stripes to her wings. I stamped the bird (from T. Holtz) and added a sticker crown to his head and dotted his eye with white fine tip marker. I Used another stencil and used a light purple ink. Used some word art stamps with black ink. A key stamp with maroon ink. The word art are also from magazine clippings, with purple sharpie and white pen dots. Last thing I did was use a deep dark purple gelato around the edge's of pages.

I just finished an altered book. I got to use some homemade molding paste I whipped up. Found the blog from Pinterest. HERE

I am in a napkin art swap so I used the birdie napkin I got from some happy mail over at. AMG's.

I added some beads and ribbons, sure hope my swap partner likes it. 

I made a "Tip-In" for another swap "City" and of course I did a Detroit one, Love my city!!!

Well that is it for now hope to see you soon.

A rare moment a "Selfie" .... LOL I hate having my photo taking.

I'm back!!!

My internet is back on, wooohoo!!! had some issues with the last company we used.

So for now I will show you some stuff I made while I was away.

Amber a.k.a Craft Button Designs has some new dollies!!!!

"Spirited Journey Hand Painted Collection" you can grab them HERE

Here is a postcard I made for a swap I am in. I loved her so much I used her in a couple other projects.

 I made my own "Keep Calm" tickets!!

 These are some ATC's I sent out as RAK's.

And here is a "tip-in" I made for a friend.

You can not really see it, but the flowers I used my home-made model paste!

It feels all raised and gritty, love it!!! Now if you look on the lower right that was part of a beautiful tag I got for a swap. But when I got it, it was in a official post office envelope, saying "they care" the package was all ripped up and half of it was even gone. So I ripped up what was left of the envelope and glued the half tag down along with the post office envie too, lol 

I really love how this page came out and those are the eyes of the talented singer, "Pink"!!!

I hosted an altered CD swap over at AMG

The one on the right is going to my swap partner and the one on the left will be part of a birthday bash giveaway at AMG next month. Opps, I say that out loud? wink wink!

These ones I made for my besties at AMG, Betty, Melody and lovely Lynn. 

I got to use my new Liquitex Professional Acrylic Inks, wooohooo Love'em!

OHHHHH MY GOD, need I show you my Valentine gift from the hubby???

Everything I got was on sale or I used coupons!!! 

I got so much I have not even tried everything out yet, lol

Yeah I've been busy here are some more of my madness. Starting the next time I post I will tell you all what I used and sometimes how I used it.
