Remembering simplicity


Hi and welcome to my blog today. I often find myself stumped making my journals. Sometimes I want more than what I was doing collage or mixed media. It is at those moments I love to look at my past journals.One thing I bumped into was pieces I painted with inks and my detail brush.Hard to believe I was doing this over ten years ago.
I also love to do this with Color Arte.
This is a few of my favorite stamps from Tim Holtz and the rose is from Alpha Stamps.
I hope you like them.I am thinking about adding them in my Etsy store.
Have a beautiful day.
Hugs

A Gift for Lena

Hi everyone welcome to my blog. I want to share a few photos with you. I made a junk journal using Canvas Corp Brands products..lace paper etc. for a friend across the waters.
Sadly I have had the flu and just now getting my hearing back. So glad to be getting my fingers inky again.
Canvas Corp Brands.com I cannot say enough wonderful things about their products. I made this for Lena across the waters ..(actually she is in Arizona right now)....anyway here is a sneak peek.
I left the tags covered with Canvas Corp papers but blank so she can do what she wishes to do with them.
It is fairly thick :)
A sneak peek of the inside....
nope won't spoil it for her...

Have a beautiful day.
Hugs

Little things Matter...playing with Canvas Corp Brands and chipboard

Good morning to everyone here today. The new year is here and I have been ill with the flu. Massive ear infections. ouch. So while I am doing much of nothing I have enjoyed my You Tube.One I have enjoyed so much is this fun loving down to earth ..awesome lady named Scrappin' Lizzie HERE is her channel.
Finding her right at the first of the year was my angel working I think.
 One thing for sure ,each year I look for new ways to incorporate techniques and beautiful papers and images all the time.Many times I just want a way to not throw the paper or the image on another pile of "later" projects.
I also joined a 
new Face Book groups and one is using our stash to make new projects and ephemera..
Canvas Corp Brands has a sale page..HERE...  
I recently purchased some beautiful 7 Gypsies paper and ephemera from this sale page. I love the pictures and the papers and I also plan to incorporate them into some junk journals and trash journals..so ..to share a "Scrappin'Liz" idea with you..she made some incredible chip board pieces off her her stash of papers and images.
I cut two pieces of chip board and began a new habit.
Hope you try it out yourself and catch her video.
The back ground paper is Canvas Corp Brand stained with Tim Holtz "Vintage Photo" ink. The hand stamp is from Tim Holtz collection using "Peacock Feathers " Distress ink from Tim Holtz.
The red drippings are from "Tattered Angels"
Fine Glitter Paint.
The photo is from 7Gypies ephemera pack on sale right now.  
I added some scrap lace and scrap little flowers and covered in mod Podge.I do not have any Diamond Glaze yet...:)

This is another chipboard I made to show you how fun these little projects can be.
All layers of paper and lace come from Canvas corp Brands 
I stained the edges with Tim Holtz "Vintage Photo Distress Ink" and the buttons are from my stash.The bicycle was cut from a 12x12 piece of paper from the link above.
Hope you enjoyed my share. If so please leave a comment.
Happy New Year...
Susan S.
