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.

First Challenge

Well that took forever :/ I'm kinda mad at myself for putting it off as long as I did, but it's finally finished. So the challenge was to use my Gypsy Wanderings Cartridge and birthday theme paper to create a fairy tale inspired birthday invitation. I originally had an idea in my mind and had it all planned out, but, as per usual, when I started the project everything changed. Anyway, I ended up making a cute little invitation with just the word 'party' on it but the 't' in 'party' had a crown above it. I used pink paper to make a shadow of the word to put behind it and teal paper with lighter colored stars on it for the actual word. I used my Gypsy along with my Cricut to cut the words out which allowed me to copy the word 'party' and maneuver it so just cut the crown was cut out because I didn't want the word and the crown to be all one color. And what fun is a princess crown if it's not gold?!? Once I had them all placed where I wan...

Easter weekend...

Happy Easter! I hope everyone had a great weekend :) I sure did! My boyfriend was in town and we got to do a lot together. Yesterday we went to the movies and then dinner with his parents and then we went to a park to walk around for a little bit before going to the Easter Vigil at my church. I'm so glad he got to experience that with me because it's my most favorite mass of the whole entire year. Then today we went to the Reds game with his friend Tanner and my friend Sammie. Shout out to Momma Tree for the tickets - thank you sooooo much! It was a beautiful day and a great game with awesome peeps :) The only bad parts were the sunburn and the fact that my Ky had to go back to school :( but I shall see him soon enough! I'm heading to Athens on Thursday to spend a few days with him and see where he gets edumacated. On another note, I haven't gotten my challenge yet, so in the meantime I shall talk about a recent project. Most recent would have to be the mustache keych...

Takeout Tuesday

Hey there! So it's been a weird few days for me... Sunday was mainly awesome - I was at work from 12:45 pm to 11:45 pm, mostly working, but also working out... During my work period I got to ogle a lot of hot guys since it was the first night of basketball and we had a lot of new teams (I work at a health club and run the men's basketball league). During my workout I ran a mile! I know that doesn't seem like a lot, but when you weigh almost 250 pounds and are trying to get back into shape, this is a big deal... I also started on one of my stories during one of the slower basketball games. I'm glad I can multitask or I would get soooo bored trying to keep score at these games. Monday was unusual - I didn't go into work until 4:30 because I was up until about 1am since I had to work Sunday night. I did next to nothing during the day (watched TV and read some fanfics, nothing productive...) yet somehow when I got to work I was super cranky and it made my shift go b...
