The lattice diecut on the left can hold your real seed packets.  On the right, you can clip things or add a picture.  See the purple ribbon in the middle?  You pull it and...

You get 2 more pages!  The right page is lined, so you can write some notes.

 Next 2 pages. With that purple ribbon in the center to reveal...

 Another 2 pages.  You can put stuff in the pocket on the left, and use the tags for notes.

 Last 2 pages, no more hidden pages!

As you see, there is plenty of space to write things down or add photos.  I like to keep my yard things in a book like this, so I know what to get next year.

LEFTOVERS

When you are finished with a project, what do you do with your leftovers?  Left over paints and inks and papers and.....?

I always use every single bit!  I keep the papers and I wipe off my paint brushes on them.  Or I glue left over pieces of paper and ephemera to a new piece of paper and then wipe off my brushes on it or use up excess paint.  Then, when I make a new project, I have tons of beautiful backgrounds to choose from!

The first one is from the back of my spraying box. I then added one of my celery stalk roses to it and doodling.  The second is leftover Gelli Plate Printing, with a left over piece of a previous project.

I hope you put your leftovers to good use!

BEAUTIFUL

For my second project, as a Moxxie Muse, I stayed with the gorgeous "Road To Recovery" paper line.  Remember, Moxxie can be found at your local scrapbook store or online, like at Scrapbook.com!  That link takes you directly to the over 300 Moxxie items!

This line isn't only about recovering from cancer, it is any type of recovery.  But, as with anything that you need to fight in order to recovery, it changes you.  And sometimes you feel like your beauty has changed and it is a very real feeling.  I wanted to make this card for just that reason.

When you pick up the pieces after something life changing, remember YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!  And just Be Your Own Kind Of Beautiful!!

I layered 2 papers and diecut another for the center.  I used a diecut border and ticket too.  Then I added some ribbon, a flower and a few pearls.

Always remember to Be Your Own Kind Of Beautiful!  Because YOU ARE!

Moxxie Products Used:

• Life's Gifts - RR-1319
• Perseverance - RR-1320
• Awareness - RR-1321
• Diecuts - RR-4022

So exciting!!  Susan K. Weckesser is releasing 2 new stamp sets today,"What's Up Gnomey" and "Tumbleweed Houses".  Once again, Susan has teamed up with Unity Stamp Company to bring her art to life in stamps!  These sets are soooo sweet!!

Aren't those little houses the cutest?  And the sun and clouds?  The sentiment is so true!  "A home is where you plant your flower seeds....".  I cut them all out and attached them to the card with 3D glue dots, so they had a little dimension.  They are all colored with Ranger Distress Markers.

In addition to the stamps, I used Susan's gorgeous papers,  "Color Burst" and "Live In Color".  I LOVE these papers!  They are just the right amount of muted colors matched with bold prints.

Please join us today!  We are hopping through the Susan K. Weckesser Design Team's blogs and the Unity Stamp Company Design Team's Blogs.  There will be 4 prizes too!  EEK!!  Good luck!

GOT MOXXIE?

I'm so excited!  This is my first official post as part of the Moxie design team!  They call us "Muses".  Super awesome!

Moxxie is an industry leader in Scrapbooking.  They have amazing papers, stickers, diecuts and so much more!  You can find their products at your local scrapbook store or Scrapbook.com.

I was given several amazing lines to use and this one just spoke to me.  I always say, the paper speaks to me and shows me the direction to go in.  In addition to this project, expect to see at least 2 more projects with this line!

This line is called "The Road To Recovery".  It is a beautiful blend of blues, yellows, whites and grey.  There are graphic designs, awareness ribbons, and delicious doodles! I made this card.

I am just so Thankful to be part of this amazing team!

I double layered the 2 background papers and diecut the third.  I used 3 flag diecuts on the side, the scroll diecut on the bottom and the fancy circle with frame diecut.  I stamped the sentiment in the center and added the ribbon, flowers, wood embellishment and pearls

Moxxie products used:

• Life's Gifts RR-1319

A DOODLE....

I made this paper napkin background for the Fall 2013 Altered Arts Magazine.  I've been hoarding it since then, just waiting for the perfect "something" to add to it!

Today, I am sharing a Doodle I made using Yasutomo Mineral Paper (which I am obsessed with) and Gel Xtreme markers.  The markers glide over the mineral paper so smoothly!  It is a wonderful combo to work with!!

 

If you LOVE to doodle like I do, you have to try it with roller ball pens/markers and mineral paper!  You will LOVE it even more!!
