Life in Progress...

Well hubby is finally back at work, though he is doing half his day from home. Time to get back to creating.

First up is an A4 card for a work colleague of hubby's who is moving on....he is an Elvis impersonator!

Background paper from Dezinaworld called Madi Gras(I changed the colours in my graphics programme), and the silhouette was a clip art image I cut out and used as a template.

 Still need to bling the King and the legend will read "Elvis has left the building"

*which I think is funny for a leaving card*

Then I realised I hadn't share many of my Documented Life  Project journal pages,

so here are some of the most recent...

The ink splat raven is from a Poe Digi kit

Hope your all having a lovely, creative summer :D XXX

So many toys...so little time!

Fly by post just to share my Documented Life Journal pages so far :D

 week 06 "Don't stop til you get enough"

 week 07 "Going undercover"

 week 08 "It's worth repeating"

 week 09  at least 5 layers

 week 10 "surviving the elements"

 week 11 "Borderline, feel like I'm going to lose my mind"

(I know...I spelled Boundaries wrong)

and up to date with week 12 "Coming into focus"

and now back to manic....

Soulfood classes + Shadows of Oz + May Mad Hat projects :D

Enjoy :D XXX

So what if I do have a few spare body parts just laying around....

I am busy making "things" for a couple of challenges at the moment...

 These "bits" will be made up for Debi's "Bleeding Hearts day challenge" and Quoth the Raven #41-"For the Love of Poe"

In the mean time I am still journalling with the free "Documented Life Project" so I'll share a couple of pages with you now

"Words with Friends"

the journalling reads...This world is not always the nicest place. A few kind words from a friend can give your heart wings"

"What lies Beneath"

AND I still have to write something for Holly Horrorland's "Vampire's  Day Soiree"...aaaagh! *loves the pressure really lol*

Keep crafting folks...will catch up with you all later :D

Enjoy XXX

Busy busy busy...

Decided last week I HAD to finish my 2014 PIF list before the end of January.

I still had 3 of the original 5 to do(because I is easily distracted by others and these 3 were polite and patient)

So here is pretty Petal the purple Pixie...

 (her pendant is a hand painted abstract flower meadow)

 She will be going to live with a friend in the UK.

Next I wanted to make something with the "felted panel" I made earlier this year(cripes is it still January???)

So the gift I am sending to North Carolina is a bag..made from scratch! made up as I went along...even though I have books telling me how to do it properly* I'm sure the lady recieving it will forgive the odd wonky stitch, still getting used to using my machine :D

(Haven't decided what the final recipient will be receiving yet)

So while I'm "thinking" I need a distraction

Enter The Documented Life Project Journal

It is free to join and easy to follow 1 item and 1 inspirational quote per page (so far lol)

The hardest part so far was choosing a journal to work in!!

I settled on this one. Board cover already pretty cool, and it was attached by a ribbon so I could remove it before starting to get messy..(Is missing my messy!!!)

I am writing the quotes and prompts on the inside cover too

 I am not going to bombard you with "step by step" images as I'll be doing a page a week as well as other stuffs, and you can ask if you want to know how :D I will just post the finished page and the original quote(which I am not using on my pages, just being inspired by)

 Page 01 "Be your own Goal Keeper"

 Page 02 "The beginning is always today.." Mary Shelley

Page 03 "I found I could say things with colour and shapes that I couldn't say any other way" Georgia O'Keeffe

There was another prompt with each page , but you should pop over to the original blog to check that out

*Now...what to make for someone who already makes everything* .....ooow...I know :D

Enjoy :D XXX
