The Scrapbook Goddess Strikes Again!
You know, January was a really crummy scrapping month for me. My creative juices were all but zapped and I was a big fat creative dork. But now, with March around the corner, my scrappin’ mojo has returned with a funky vengeance! WOOOOOT!
Everyone says that you should use your own handwriting on occasion, so I did. My handwriting, as you can see, has a crazy grace all it’s own that lends itself to being illegible. Ah, well. The writing reads: Art isn’t a momentary pursuit, it is a way of living, a way of breathing and loving. Art makes colors more vivid and life more tolerable. It turns pain into beauty and ordinary into incredible. I used new Chatterbox papers (it’s like Christmas everytime they release new lines), KI Memories Ice Word thingers, and my all time favorite stamp that I have been hauling around for over three years trying to find a use for!
I’ve also been creating some stuffs for sale, so if either of these cu-ute tag books float your boat, hop on over to my corner of ebay and happy bidding. Trust me, you at least want to see the details on the individual tags. I am so stoked that I actually bought the chickie die after thinking about it for over a year! Turned out so cute, it makes me want more dies! So buy my stuff so I can buy more dies so I can make more stuff for you to buy so I can. . .yes, it’s a vicious cycle. I admit it.
Seems the mojo is hitting a lot of us lately. I love your work and that photo of you reminds me of an episode of friends where Monica’s hair was like that. Really cute.

Gurl you are so crafty! I luv, luv that page! What did you do to the stamp part that’s on the photo? Go over it with paint? Looks very, very cool. Isn’t it funny how the “creative juices” can wax and wane? I’m def. going through a dry period now, but when I’m back into it I’ll check back in with you for inspiration!

In order to get the negative and positve effect with my peacock stamp, I used a white craft pad (like an ink pad, but paint based, I like Stampin’ Up craft pads)and stamped the image first onto the photo while using a piece of paper to cover the area I didn’t want the ink to transfer to. I then waited for it to dry, repositioned my stamp over the image, this time covering the part I had already stamped, and using black ink on the white paper.

I just want to say thanks for renting my blog for this week =)
The crafts are so beautiful- I have always wanted to get into doing scrapbooking and the like, but I just don’t have the patience or the “artisticality” to be able to do it. I have the ideas, sure, but not the hand. You’re really talented =)

You should really teach an internet blogger class on how to do that kind of stuff. I’m crafty but I don’t know where to start..
