PURPLE PURPLE YELLOW SOC Week 3

So this weeks colors, while I love purple, were quite challenging to work with. Being contrasting colors, purple and yellow don't blend well without making mud in many mediums. I may, however, give this color scheme another go with my original illustration idea...I do really like a challenge...

What I ended up working on is a journal card for my 2015 daily junk journal. I still have to do the journaling, but I'm not sure the color is complete yet...

 Thanks for stopping by! See you later this week!

PINK PINK ORANGE -SOC wk 2

This week's colors are ones I generally love, but I think I rushed this page and am not entirely happy w it. It is on the cover page of the February section of my 2015 junk journal. I did have fun working on it at least!!

Thanks for stopping by!! See you next week!!

Summer of Color Challenge, Week 1

To start this year's challenge off, we were to use two shades of blue and one shade of green. 

I created an ATC with my cute little Felicia Fluttersby, scrap card stock and a sticker from the Blue Poppy line by K&Co (it's old and I do not know if they still sell it).

Thanks for stopping by! See you next week!

December Daily (part two)

December Daily (part 1)

My first year doing a December Daily book! Mine is a digital hybrid junk journal conglomerate!! Enjoy!

It's Boot Camp for me

Given that I am back in class this semester, work full time and still have a life, I have completed quite a few projects already this year!

This is my third semester in pursuit of a web design certificate, so all my computer time has been devoted to homework rather than digital scrapbooking. When Club Scrap announced their new event, Assembly Line Boot Camp, I knew I had to find some time to participate! 

I actually got started a week into it, and am behind in posting...surprise surprise...insert innocent look here...

The challenge for week two was to use a torn edge somewhere on your paper...yeah...I did that, but didn't finish the layout in time to post...I will share the reason in another post...

Week three's challenge was to use a diecut. Since I do digital scrapbooking, I scratched my head for a minute and then sought clarification from Drill Sergeant Lisa...and had a "well duh" moment after reading Ron's helpful tutorial. 

Here is the left side of a two page spread of my good friend Becky's 12th Night Party. Since I am so far behind in my digi scrapping (still in the middle of 2011) I decided to follow the advise I heard early in my scrapbook career...start with the present and work backwards! This was this January (and since this is march...um that means I am still two months behind...what the hell) and features Club Scrap kits Angels on High and Gnome for the Holidays. I used the holly stamp and two papers to create the "die-cut" holly.

Studio Sunday

Thank goodness for Sunday mornings...if  we didn't have them I wouldn't have anything for Summer of Color!! I was up bright and early and have been working on jewelry in the studio this morning. I put aside the project I had been working on to tidy the work table and decided this weeks pink and orange project would start with stuff that was already out--namely black jump rings and scraps of leather cord....a quick hunt for pink and orange beads and voila! Earrings!!

Guess now I need to make an outfit to match lol!!

Until next week!!
