Holiday Time

 This holiday season, I took some time off work to be able to spend time with my family and just relax. not having  to worry about work during an already busy time.  I spent a little bit of time crafting so I thought I would share my creations.

One of the days I worked on a junk journal page.  I went a little overboard with the doodles at the end, but I like how it turned out overall











I also made these Christmas postcards to send to my nieces.  Recently I have been leaving the images uncolored so that they can color them in themselves.  They are both very into coloring and I hope they never lose that sense of creativity.




My friend's mom and brother joined us for a few days.  It was just as a snow storm was coming so we couldn't go out and do much.  We did watch a few shows and movies so I used that time to doodle and color


This is a coloring book I snagged from Dollar General a while back.  I used markers to color these cats


These two were done on my ipad in Procreate.  I like to color on there too since it is more forgiving and you can do all sorts of different things with colors, textures, etc.  I didn't draw these, I found the line art images on Pinterest or Google and then just used them as a reference to color in.











The lighting is terrible, but these are a few of the doodles I was doing during the movies. I was copying off some cute "ugly critters" I found on Pinterest. 

Another day I worked on these postcards.  They were my gift to my nieces.  I am going to take them to EnterTRAINment junction so I made these train postcards to let them know






And finally, the craftermath of my most recent card creation.  I cannot show the card yet, but it involved all of these ink pads to color in.  It's a whimsical card using blues, purples, and pinks along with a new Gnome stamp set that was just released from Stampin' Up!  This month's focus for class was the new catalog along with Sale A Bration.

Sunday Funday Hazie Style

I watched my niece/goddaughter this weekend while her parents had a much needed weekend away for their anniversary.  She is a riot and kept me on my toes the whole time. One thing she loves is to paint. So on Sunday, we got out the paint and some canvas and went to town. There was a point where I felt like I lost control of the situation but it was fun nonetheless. I need to figure out how to finish my piece with the dots… I may add a quote over them or in between…

March Card Class design

 For March I had a plan and I am happy to report that I executed it perfectly the first attempt!  I took a card layout and combined it with a color combination I liked to create what I think is the perfect card to send to your friends.  Layout and color combination are not my images, but the final product is my doing.  Let me know what you think!

February Card design + design process insight

 Sometimes I think I have a great card layout but it just doesn't come to fruition. I want to touch on my design process and how I get from the first rendition to the last when I am struggling with how it looks.  I started with a card based on my original layout. I planned to use a stamp set (Amazing Year) that was in the annual catalog, but didn't seem to be used too much (that I had seen). It did not turn out good at all, in my opinion.  So I sent it to my fellow demonstrators and got a few suggestions. I updated the design, but something was still off.  I asked my upline for some advice and then came up with the final design. While I did ask for opinions and suggestions, I didn't always use the advice given. The process took several days because I like to step away from a project when it's not going quite as planned.  The first one may have had potential, but I think I was limiting myself with a color palette since I was set on trying to use a specific DSP (designer
