Going bananas..

Hello and how are you?? Yeah, it's Friday!! I'm officially on vacation for 2 weeks, super excited! I have been busy re-organized my craft space... a picture will follow tomorrow. But here are 2 little projects...

First up... my heart journaling page from the Greeting Farm...

And I started with Xmas cards... I just love this adorable polar bear from Memory Box...

Blog you later...

Day 2 of class....

Hi hi, it was day 2 of class yesterday.... so so fun. I'm totally enjoying inking up glossy paper and just having inky fingers!

Here is a card using the 'Kissing' technique.I just loveeee the gorgeous background stamps from Hero Arts (friend definition and fabric design) and how about the flower with border punches, huh? Hehe! The sentiment is from Penny Black.

And here is my page of this week the Greeting Farm's heart journaling class, the theme is 'One Word', since halloween is coming (plus, I live in New England, we live to use the word WICKED a lot), so why not to do a halloween page. The paper is from My Minds' Eye Haunted and I also use some Tim Holtz dies and stamp to dress up the page.

Until tomorrow....

Totally out of my comfort ZONE! Week 3.

Hi hi, you know it... it's time again for the Greeting Farm Heart Journaling project! Oh boy, oh boy! It's sure getting challenging. This week's theme is gratitude! I didn't know how to start, so I decided to play with the Tim Holtz distressing stain in shabby shutter, distressed it with more and more colors, then masked it with the punchinella, then I didn't like it... then I added more ink and stain... and Viola! I love this picture frame Hambly print screen, and I decorated with chipboard letter for some dimension.

Well, hope it's okay! Thanks for stopping by!

Totally out of my comfort ZONE! Week 2.

Howdy, I'm totally crafting on the edge.... it's week 2 of the Greeting Farm heart journaling class. The theme is Sandy Sunshine. With this theme, I can't help it to put a picture of my wedding in my journal. I married my wonderful husband on April's Fool Day in the beautiful beach in Aruba.

And here is my take, I never used soft pastel before.... but I want to try it out. It was super fun and a challenge. To add a bit of texture, I used some fabric as a photo mat and for the seashell (I dabbed the background with pearl dabber ink, then stamped with the seashell stamp from Hero Arts).

Can't wait until week 3... Have a great day!

Totally out of my comfort ZONE!

Hola, I got TOTALLY OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE!!! If you haven't heard about it... The Greeting Farm decided to have a 23 weeks heart journaling class. How cool is that? So, week 1, the theme is WINGS!

Viola! Here is what I made... I never did anything like this before... but it's super cool.

Here is the close up -

I used watercolor pencil and Faber-Castell gelato for the background, flowers, and clouds. The flowers is a stamp set from Close to my Heart called Simple Blossom. I even cut out the fence with Cricut cartridge called Wall Decor and more, then painted with picket fence crackle paint and distressed with tea dye ink. The sentiment is from Tim Holtz Visual Artistry collection Curious Possibility. Flutter Anya was colored with Faber-Castell artist pens. And finally we need some glitter, right?!

Hope you like it and have a great sunday!
