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

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.

Well I hope to see you soon, most likely Sunday when Artful Chicks has the new weekly prompt.

LMAO!!!!! 

A Big Brown Paper Bag

I was bored the other night and wanted to try something different. Yes I have made mini brown paper bag ATC holders. But I wanted to go BIG!!! 

I only used three bags, put some holes and rings and I was ready to roll.

My front (right) and back, the skull is an air freshener I had. 

Love how this came out :) 

I used some napkins on this one :) 

In the one above I got to use a background from Annmarie who I was in a swap with.

I just stapled some ribbon and made a bow, I really love how it all came out!!

I also did a couple new pages for my art journal. Yes this has my favorite word "F" in it, lol

Ohhh he was so sexy I could not resist using him, so I did a photo transfer still not a master at this but I like it.

Ohhhh I love how this came out, this is the other side of that air freshener, lol

Ok here is a little digital work I did this week, with 2 Curly Headed Monster Designs new

kit "Red Between the Lines" with the calendar one I also used her, "Messy Months of 2015 ARTplate Collection" 

Well that is it and I will be back Sunday to show off my "Artful Journey" second prompt for the year!
