Christmas Mini 2010

Since my last blog post I have been so busy!! Took a new job and moved to a new city. Here is something I recently created!! Thanks for looking and please leave comments if you have any questions!!!

I just have to share this picture as I find it amazing. This is on my street and yes all the sidewalks are lined with large oaks...but this one tree in bloom is right beside my house and I think it is amazing!!!

Feel Beautiful

Isn't it amazing how the media can make a woman feel as if she needs to look a certain way in order to feel beautiful? The media is killing the young girls of America and torturing them to believe that beauty is a certain image. I have always felt this is wrong and I also feel that everyone is beautiful. We are all beautiful because each and everyone was made differently from the next...meaning there is only ONE YOU!!! Meaning that in that fact alone we are all BEAUTIFUL!!!! ENJOY and have a BLESSED SUNDAY!!!

Fun Blocks

Not sure what I was going for here. I just knew I wanted to do blocks. I am happy with the ending.....I had a lot of fun while creating it!!! I think I may have to do this kind of layout again in the near future!!!

Hope all is going well with everyone out there. For Valentine's Day I got a new car...I will try to post pics soon!!! Take care and thanks for looking!!!

FUN

I did this art journal page a while back actually. Have not had enough time to share much lately. I created this page because I feel life as a "grown up" does not permit us to have as much fun as we would like to have!!! So here is wishing and hoping for more fun in my life!!!!

Doubt---Free Your Self

Sometimes I doubt things too much. I doubt growth, development, sucess, and other things. I am trying to learn not to doubt so much!!! I need to learn to stop stressing everything and just learn to enjoy this one life I have!!! Wish me luck on my path of being doubt free!!!!

Negativity

After a very negative day at work...I came home and let all the stress out in my art journal. One person can have a negative outlook and it can soon poison a group. Well negativity is just like poison and it can kill you....it can destroy your hopes, dream, and future. Soooo I choose not to partake in the negativity and I choose to speak positively.....after all I will receive back what I send out. So to all the negative people in the world......I wish you all the best but I will not partake in your misery!!!

Zentangle Attempts

I have often admired everyone else's ZENTANGLES. I have attempted to make one several times, but I always get frustrated and give up. I have never completed a zentangle until 2 days ago....and it came easier for me because I was just doodling...I want not TRYING to make one. But this was my first attempt in my school agenda,,, sorry it is a little blurry.

Well after finishing that one...days later I vowed to try again. I am glad to say that I finally completed one in my art journal...yes a 2 page spread! I am so proud of myself! Yes I have alot more to learn .....but atleast I have made a little progress...so here is my 2 page spread!!!

A Happy Heart!

I am so blessed to have a happy heart!!! YES life and duties do stress me out, but over all I have a happy heart!! I am blessed in so many ways and one of those many blessings is love. I do have family and friends that truly love me and to have a heart full of love is to have a happy heart. I had to use foil for the one heart simply because it looks shiny and new and a happy heart I am sure shines all the time!!! I also used (lower left) a heart tore from a napkin because a napkin is absorbent and a happy heart absorbs all the love it can receive!!!!

Rocking his last name!!!

My hubby and I were married June 24,2006 and even after all this time and I am soo happy to be his wife. This is where this page came from...my pride of having HIS last name. He is really a great friend, hubby, and father. I am so blessed to have him in my life and sharing my world. I used rub-ons, duct tape, paint, paper, glitter glue, and paint pens on this page.

Work=Stress

This art journal page was actually done during December 2009. I had had a very stressful day at work and it was great to come home and put it all out on paper. Seemed to de-stress me and once I put it all out on paper it actually helped me deal with the situation. I posted this art journal page because I wanted to show that it is good to journal about the lows in life as well as the highs. Looking back I am glad that I did journal this page. I am still learning and growing when it comes to art journaling. The colors of the background are the colors associated with the logo of the company where I work. I hope you all enjoyed!!! Have a great evening!

Dreaming of a Vacation

With 27 degree weather here on the coast of South Carolina all I can do is dream about a vacation!!! One reason is due to the weather and the other reason is due to life always being so hectic and crazy. We only have one life to live and its said that most of our lives is spent doing what we HAVE to do and not what we want to do!!! I hope once I get classes over with things will slow down. Who knows....regardless I always have my paper crafts to escape to.

2010 Resolutions

The art journal page I did on the first day of January. I usually make a few resolutions and realize I am going to fall short. So this time I set more of a goal rather than just a resolution and that is to enjoy life and Grow Closer to God. I am new to art journaling however I have been scrapbooking and stamping for several years. I guess I am just a paper addict!! LOL:) I am glad to have a husband that supports my addictions!!! Here's to 2010!! I hope to grow closer to God, enjoy life and create often!!! Have a great day!

Hope~Art Journal Page

Just a quick art journal page that I finished. Hope...something the world needs more of. Well i possess hope for tomorrow and the future!! I hope you enjoyed~!

It's A New Year!!!!

It's a New Year so what better time to start a blog?! I hope I can find the time to blog often. I have several blogs that I visit daily. I find so much inspiration from other blogs and so I am hoping that my blog can also inspire someone.
I hope to have more time this year to create more. I love to do paper crafts, art journal, make cards, and scrapbook. I just love to play in my craft room!!! I love to get my fingers and hands all stained with paint or ink. I rarely get time to do the things I love but this year I hope to squeeze in a little more time than the time I had in 2009.
So heres to my new blog and my new year!!! I wish much blessings to everyone!
