What I've been up to

Can't believe we're 10 days into the new year already! is time flying by for you too?

 I just started school again last week,  so I thought I would show you some stuff I made before it started.

Here we go! (it's long but with lots of pictures!)

I made these cards for my husband a few weeks ago, but I couldn't show you before his birthday, just in case ;)

Love how this one turned out!















I tried to keep it simple in this one...



I did some masking with pearl shimmer mist in the background but you can't see it here :(

I'm entering this in The Paper Variety's challenge this week, their theme is 'snowflakes.'








 
At the beginning of this month, I also opened a shop on etsy! I've been putting it off for so long, but I wanted to do it for a long time. I started my shop with some pins, but I'll add lots of other stuff eventually :)






There's a couple more designs in the shop :)

And last but not least, this is my empathy monster for my art heart and healing class...still in progress, we're getting there... still need the legs and the stuffing.

Thanks for looking, hope you enjoyed the pictures!

I'm so excited about this blog hop! I've loved Faber-Castel products for a long time and it was so much fun to combine them with my favorite DCWV textures. There’s some great prizes too- Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft and DCWV will be giving away $75 in product at the end of the hop.  To win, follow the list below and leave a comment .  The hop will end at 5PM EST on Friday, March 28 th .  The winner will be announced on Monday, March 31 st on each of the company’s blogs.    I really wanted a special page for these pictures. They give me a very HAPPY feeling  and I love the sun rays coming through the trees. I wanted to mimic that in the background paper. I thought the woven craft cardstock was a great background because its a little less stark than white for these pictures.   I wanted the journaling to be more private so I made it a pull tab behind this cut out tag from the Bohemian Sunrise stack.    To make the background I used a DCW

Christmas with Clear Scraps & DCWV

Welcome to Day 2 of the DCWV and Clear Scraps blog hop! You should have come from Britt's blog: http://pinkpapercrowns.blogspot.com Thanks for making it this far!  On to the project... I might have a LO or 2 about Christmas....Why? I just never get around to making more of them! The Holidays are usually too crazy and then I get into doing LOs of just ever day stuff or travel pics... and the holidays just get forgotten.  This year, I'm ready! I'll have the album pre-made, I just have to stick on the pictures and add some journaling! I used this 8x8 tabbed acrylic album from Clearscraps to create a Christmas mini that is ready to go.  The papers are Christmas Memories with a little bit of the Christmas and winter Diecut stack, the Christmas basics 6x6 & the Burlap stack. I love clear albums because I like to see the layers through the clear pages.    I folded the 12x12 papers in half and cut them to create pockets for journaling a
