NOV/DEC GROWING IN UNITY GALS BLOG HOP

Welcome to the November/December

Growing In Unity Gals Blog hop!

This month we are featuring

Unity's Angie Girls stamps (of which I own many), 

created by Angie Blom.

I received Angie Girl Brooke,

and created an art journal page.

 I've always loved this quote, so

since my stamp featured a girl holding a glass of wine,

it seemed the perfect blend.

For the background of my journal page, 

I used Dylusions inks, Heidi Swapp Inks, and

Faber Castell gelatos.  

For the sun rays on the left I used a 

Crafters Workshop stencil with 

Viva Decor's glitter stamp paint.

The text/chevron across the bottom is 

tissue paper by Hazel and Ruby--

LOVE this stuff--you need some of this!

What looks like gold paint is actually

Folk Art's metallic green paint.

The silver glitter letters are 

Thickers by American Crafts.

Brooke was stamped with Archival Ink

and colored with Faber Castell colored pencils.

The Y-O-U banner is from the

June, 2012 SMAK Kit,

and the word cheese and the tag are from the

August, 2013 SMAK Kit.

I drew the rectangle around the word cheese

and obviously hand wrote the words on the tag.

The word some was written using another

Crafters Workshop stencil.

The question mark is a retired Technique Tuesday stamp.

I'm fortunate enough to live in a town with a

local scrapbook store, Cat's Creations Scrapbooks,

and everything in lime green print was purchased there.

I'm also very blessed to work at that store.

Thanks for stopping by!

Art journaling is outside my comfort zone

but is something I'm trying to learn.

I've purchased many of the Angie Girl stamps

to use in my art journal endeavors.

WOW WEDNESDAY

 Today is WOW Wednesday over at Cat's Creations Scrapbooks' blog and I wanted to share an album I made for a dear friend of ours who turned 90 years old back in December.  I used one of the BoBunny word albums that I had in my stash for quite some time.  The paper I used is some that Cat gave us in a goody bag at the retreat (thanks, Cat!) and I combined it with some SEI paper.

There were some little party hat cut-outs, so I couldn't resist putting one on her!  The flower is by Petaloo, the button and bling is by My Minds Eye, and the sticker is by Imaginesce.

On the right is one of the little accordion albums that Lance Anderson taught us to make using duct tape for the hinges.  Embellishments are by Sassafrass Lass and SEI.  

 This is a folder album I made using a "Coluzzle" template that I've had for years.  Really loved how it turned out.  More paper from SEI with punch-outs.

This is the folder album opened up.  It held lots of photos!

This a little cascading album I made after being inspired by the Heidi Swapp product.  I used Tim Holtz dies for the shaped pages.  LOVED how it all came together just the way I wanted it to.  Fun when that happens!  The paper is by SEI and American Crafts, the bling and button are by My Minds Eye, the flower is by Petaloo and the sticker flower is by Sassafrass Lass.
