Fun is still going on, in fact the iSD challenges are going until May 13th!

Challenge #5 is to use non-tradtional colors on a boy/girl LO.  So for this picture of my son I used pinks and oranges.  I even added a flower <gasp!>.

Here's the link to all the challenges: iSD Challenges at Soul Scrappers . Let the Party Rock On!

Happy Scrappin'!

iSD Challenge Sneak Peek

Happy International Scrapbook Day Weekend :-)
Although the official day is Saturday, we're kicking off the celebration today over at Soul Scrappers, today, as in right now, as in get on over there and check it out!

We have posted our challenges here:  iSD Challenge information and can't wait to have you (yes, you!) join in the fun.  I provided a technique challenge.  When I paper scrap it is an imperative that I get ink stains or paint splatters on me. So be prepared to get a little messy :-)

Hope to see there!  Happy Scrappin'!

Happy May!

And what's better than starting the month off with a scrap challenge? This LO was done for the Cooking Up Creations challenge over at Soul Scrappers.  Details for the challenge can be found here Cooking Up Creations Challenge.

You know I'm usually all about the journaling, but this photo seemed to speak for it self so I let it :-)

Time for another Art Journal page.  I've been having a hard time with my art journaling lately. I think I was getting so hung up on the techniques that I forgot the purpose. Granted one of my goals was to learn PSE, but the main reason was to rediscover me through journaling and exploring my creative side.

So for this page I went back to the basics.  I wrote my journaling first and then extracted photos, creating the visual story to go with my journaling. It just seem to flow together and I was very happy with how it turned out.

And then I was notified this evening that my page is going to be included in the gallery highlights feature at Tangie Baxter.Com this week.  Woohoo! You should click the link and check out some of the amazing art journaling pages people are creating.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Love Today at Soul Scrappers

It's time for a Song Challenge.  This time its "Love Today" by Mika.  Details for the challenge can be found here Soul Scrappers. I chose the words "shock me" from the lyrics.

I wasn't sure where to start so I found a template by Jenn Lindsey and began creating the LO.  If you're new to digi scrapping templates are a great way to learn how to layer and get a feel for embellishment clusters.  Although I have a long way to go for clusters!

Why not bop over to Soul Scrappers and join the challenge.  C'mon, I know you want to!  :-)

I've been having so much fun doing scrapbook challenges that I've fallen behind in my Art Journal Caravan assignments (oops!).  I was finding it difficult to transition to art journaling so I followed some advise Tangie Baxter offered in one of her videos.  I picked three random papers and started playing with some blending modes until I liked what I saw.  After doing that I was definitely in an art journaling mood and here's the result.

Do you have something you do as a creative jumpstart?  I'd love to hear about it.

Thanks for stopping by and happy craftin'!
