This is the start of an inspiration patch, where I hope that fellow scrappers and creators will come and find some inspiration, or even leave some inspiration for me.

Anniversary Card - BoBunny Bella Rosa

Hello Everyone

Apologies for being absent for a few days but life was really so hectic.
My Mom and Dad celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary and had a big luncheon for family and friends.  My brother came out for this event too.
So this past weekend was a biggie! ;-)

Here was the happy couple.


I made a card for them.


I used the BoBunny Bella Rosa collection.  It's elegant and perfect for a really special card.

I used some Rose Glitter paste too.


I made the centre flower too! ;-)

Thanks for your visit and your patience.
I will do some blog visits tomorrow.

Have a super Monday

Art Journal Page - Life Inspiration

Hello Everyone

I hope that you are having a great weekend.

I finished an art journal page which I really love.
I love how this page came together and I was able to play and create but I also love the sentiment.
Life has been a little tough lately and this page was certainly my "out" and solace.

Anyways..here's my page.


I really wasn't so sure about the background colours and then amazingly it just worked and all came together.  I used gel medium for the stencilling and then distress ink and gelatos and stamping and some washi tape.

I used a few bits and pieces from Graphic 45 and then also from Kaisercraft.
It's was good to use some rather old stash.

Here are some close-ups.




"Create a life that feels good on the inside
Not one that just looks good on the outside".

I hope you have a super Sunday.

Retro Art Page Journal

Hello Everyone

After "tagging" you with many taggy projects, today I have a retro art journal to share with you.

Here's the page...pages in fact! ;-)


I used some October Afternoon bits and bobs and DoCrafts/Papermania goodies from my stash.
It has been liberating to do some stash busting.

Here's some closer views.


A lot of time and effort went into this project and I am happy with the way it turned out.



and lastly...


I chose this quote because I love it and every single creative project starts with this process!
I thought it was rather apt! ;-)

Thanks so much for popping in today...
I really appreciate your comments and love! ;-)

Have a super Thursday.

Art Journal Page - Berry71Bleu - October Challenge

Hello Everyone

It's my turn to host the October Challenge at Berry71Bleu this month and so I also chose a mood board. I saw this board on Pinterest and absolutely loved it.


Isn't it just amazing?

Anyways, I was really inspired and took out my art journal to try and capture some of these colours.

Here's the page I created.


I dove into my stash and used some BoBunny goodies that I have had for years.
It's from the Ambrosia collection.
I remember I loved this collection so much, that I purchased the entire collection.
These are goodies that are left from the few last pieces.

I also used some Graphic 45 stickers that are probably a good 8 years old.
LOL....really vintage in every which way! ;-)

Here are some close-ups.

I had so much fun with the stencilling, painting and inking.



This page is to remind me that sometimes I just need to play, in my art journal and see where the journey goes.

I think there's a lot of freedom in that! ;-)

Perhaps you would like to play along with the challenge...
there are also some fabulous goodies up for grabs.
