I have found my passion and never knew it was there until I started watching some youtube vids... I love getting my hands dirty from using my fingers to paint(wooohoooo for finger painting) it's just as much fun at 40 as it is at 4......LOL<br />
<br />
I just wanted to share my latest journal page, I am so happy with the way that it turned out. Please enjoy and leave comments. Thank you so much for visiting my blog.<br />

It's a beautiful Monday morning in Oklahoma when you walk outside and your makeup doesn't sweat off....LOL Only supposed to be 92 degrees today much better than the 105 we were having last week. <br />
<br />
I created my first canvas for a challenge be held by Limor on facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/405073446194833/">https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/405073446194833/</a> we were to use one of the techniques we learned from her and to also use a stencil... This is my entry for the challenge.<br />

I am excited to be working with Jamie and the rest of the design team. I decided to get my feet wet before I actually start my design team term and joined a challenge. The challenge was Steampunk the images are from Sassy Studio Designs. We were to also use metal in the challenge. Of course I had to choose both images and create two projects. I hope everyone enjoys my creations. Please stop by and check out Forever Night Challenges.<br />
<br />
The First is an art journal page: I used aluminum tape for the background and used gold rub-n-buff and some metal pieces. I hope everyone likes:<br />
<br />

For my second challenge I created a birthday card for my husband. I used cardboard for the background, aluminum tape and metal pieces. This is only my 3rd card I ever made.<br />

No excuses just haven't done it, my plans are to keep up with blog post there may not be a project with every post but I will plan on posting often.<br />
<br />
Things sure have changed for me over the last several months. I was in a creative slump and over doing the swaps and burned my self out and got burned in swaps also. I am no longer a member at MAS's ning site due to circumstances that I will not go into details about except that I got booted. I didn't just get up and leave I would never do so with out an explanation. But don't worry I have found a new home with some of my family that was at MAS also. But during this whole process you do learn who your true friends are..<br />
<br />
We are chatting it up over at <a href="http://scrappingcarolina.ning.com/">http://scrappingcarolina.ning.com/</a> which was opened and run by Tamara Hazel. She has some great challenges going on and just opened up her first swap. Loving the challenges. So if you've wondered were I've been hiding you now know. So drop by and see us and chat and have a good laugh. Okay enough rambling I hope to have a project completed and posted this week.<br />
<br />
Oh and I have picked up the art journaling bug....so maybe I will share a page from my journal. This is still a work in progress but is a great stress reliever...I hope everyone has a wonderful week...<br />
<br />
Hugs to you all<br />

I am now a team member over at <a href="http://www.minialbumscraps.ning.com/">http://www.minialbumscraps.ning.com/</a>, which by the way if you haven't visited yet you need to hurry up and go over and do that...Why you ask well I'm going to tell you we have some wonderfully awesome talented ladies who are a joy to visit with...chat is constantly hopping and we are one big happy family....no drama and we support each other in every way possible not just crafty support but support in every other way possible....<br />
<br />
Okay now for the exciting news (lol) we at <a href="http://www.minialbumscraps.ning.com/">http://www.minialbumscraps.ning.com/</a> are having a design team call all members must have their projects in by August 10th, 2011. So now let me tell you what you need to do you will create two original works one can be an altered item, canvas, wall hanging or your choice and the second must be a mini album (to represent our site minialbumscraps) the mini must not be larger than an 8x8 and can be as small as a 1x1 if thats what you want to create...also you can create your mini from whatever you choose(chipboard, canvas, burlap, plexi glass, wood, cardstock etx...) you have creative control over your projects. Now for your projects you must post them on your blog, youtube and facebook if you have any or all three with a link back to our site and your projects will be featured on the front page of the site. Members will vote for their favorites and then the Admin. team will make the final decision of who will make up our first design team.<br />
<br />
The swaps are awesome we have some amazing ones taking place right now and more to come in the future and don't be worried about getting burned or flaked because we have very strict guidelines that we do enforce for example we have to check in weekly, when mailed we post our confirmation numbers so the host can keep track of where packages are and if you flake on a swap and have not communicated beforehand with the hostess or one of the team members you are not allowed to swap at minialbumscraps anymore. Yes it sounds harsh but we are looking out for the serious swappers and those that enjoy the swapping and want a postive swap.<br />
<br />
Sorry this is such a long post but there was so much to share and I really would like to invite you all to come over and join us at <a href="http://www.minialbumscraps.ning.com/">http://www.minialbumscraps.ning.com/</a> and check us out I truly don't think you will regret it....If you have any questions there is always someone around to help you out and if we don't know we will find out and get right back to you. Hope everyone has a happy scrappy day.Beverlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06940160167499288949noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218015878141159873.post-27092895466090076932011-04-26T18:44:00.000-07:002011-04-26T18:44:08.501-07:00Match Boxes For Swap on minialbumscraps.ning.comI want to share some altered match boxes that I have done for a swap that I am participating in on <a href="http://www.minialbumscraps.ning.com/">http://www.minialbumscraps.ning.com/</a>. These are my first matchboxes and had an awesome time making them for my swap partners and hope that they like them. <br />

First this is the double matchbox that I made for my partner.<br />

Then I covered it with paper from Life's Journey from K & Co. then put some bling on the top with some flowers from I am Roses. On both sides of the box I put bling with more flowers and made some prima look alike candy and then placed flowers on top of them.. The flowers were given to me by Nichole(minialbumscrapper)...<br />
<br />
Second here is my altered single matchbox....<br />

I have been scrapping & altering for the last six months and I am finally going to share some of my creations with the blog world....(I know about time). I am a member of minialbumscraps.ning.com and joined several of their swaps and would like to share with you what I created for them...<br />
<br />
First I was in an ATC swap and these are my first ever ATC cards the criteria for the swap was it had to have green on the card<br />
<br />

The ATC was made out of light weight chip board and coverd with papere from DCWV Whimsy collection, the image of the girl was found on the internet I cut her out and pasted her to the card put stickles on her shawl. The flowers are from I am Roses they were a gift from Nichole..and the bead trim on the bottom is from HL.<br />
<br />
The second swap was a dress form swap and this is what I created for my partner.....<br />
<br />

I haven't scrapbooked in like 15 yrs and I have never done anyother type of papercrafting, mini albums, or altering of any kind and let me tell you these ladies have taken me under their wings and are helping me out a lot. They have been so accepting of this newbie and have gone above & beyond anything I ever expected.<br />
<br />
I would like to thank them from the bottom of my heart. Tori, Nik, Kimi, Hope, Sarah, Divine & Linda you have been totally awesome to me and it means so much to me. I am proud to say that I have made some new friends and know that I can do anything because of all the encouragement they give me. Because of them I am making my first mini and when I'm done I will share my first actual project post...<br />
