I have come to the understanding that 1. I will never use all of these items....2. I don't like some of these items (they are just not very *me*), 3. I want to "freecycle" some of them to new homes. So over the next few days I will be putting together packages of items to give away just for coming to my blog and saying--WOW that is great stuff send it to me. I will then use a randomizer to choose a winner for each package.<br /><br />Doesn't that sound great! I will put photos up when I get them together. This could be buttons, ribbons, papers, stamps, chipboard, pieces parts and more. I will try to arrange a package of JUST Christmas items as well as a bits and pieces set. So check back here this weekend and see what I have available. If you want it, leave a comment on my blog and a lucky winner will get the package.

I found an amazing group of women over at <a href="http://smearedandsmudged.ning.com/">Smeared and Smudged</a>! The group has been growing so fast we wanted to do something special on our blog and then send you to see fantastic art of all shapes and sizes at their various blogs. <br /><br /><br />I have been working on a bunch of projects this week that I wanted to put up for the blog hop, but things got so crazy here I didn't finish them and I hate putting up 1/2 finished projects. I do want to share this digital layout I created using <a href="http://store.scrapbook-elements.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=&products_id=16107">Kiki Halbert's Retro Jungle kit</a>.

I created this ATC sized one using clear embossing powder, alcohol ink/pearl ex mix sprayed over top. Used a marker for the eyes and orange ink smudged on the butterfly and some edges for adding a different color to the mix. Then covered it with pearl ex powder for more shimmer.<br /><br />This next one I inked with Staz-On black and then colored in with watercolor pencils. I used my brush to smooth out the pencil and put it on a mat then on a card. I added some fun Mermaid style stickers to create this one of a kind card.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi23y3jyaDd8xzzeIOwLIEUaD0sNzWLpoyW7rsIH1bG5JdSpvEs3Vg4TxPQTHGxH_fbqbZ_GjH6wgbmRSKgV_4D3wu73PH-G_TysaB9YHk_Fe_YiF3ojAul30idkioJfZ0BT0u2jCnkDHc/s1600-h/mermaidwaiting-aodb.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 308px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi23y3jyaDd8xzzeIOwLIEUaD0sNzWLpoyW7rsIH1bG5JdSpvEs3Vg4TxPQTHGxH_fbqbZ_GjH6wgbmRSKgV_4D3wu73PH-G_TysaB9YHk_Fe_YiF3ojAul30idkioJfZ0BT0u2jCnkDHc/s400/mermaidwaiting-aodb.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442568388180691970" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043895694818659903.post-70988799346730788502010-02-24T17:53:00.004-05:002010-02-24T18:04:41.477-05:00Bad RomanceMost of us have had them....been through them. Smudged and Smeared had an awesome new challenge that really got my brain going. The rock n roll challenge uses a video as inspiration. The first video is by Lady Gaga's Bad Romance video.

I created a rub on of the Lady Gaga photo (doesn't she remind you a bit of Cher) and did all sorts of fun techinques with this. The black boot with lacings was a white cardstock piece that I spray painted shiny black and punched holes in. I used 4 different types of stamps, some words from the song and the video and combined it all together. The lips down the side are clear embossed with spray ink/pearl ex mix over them.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043895694818659903.post-30796354507486066382010-02-11T13:53:00.002-05:002010-02-11T14:06:13.721-05:00Finished ATC<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgabA0YEY7crmpGj822dkNDkC3p5iXTZefJZfOkP1rCKgXAXQV9PtXKeyVYdLw2I0XnOcUa3FVarAQVlCa8AK0eLZnSuQl-DvJkO6TzvcfYa4dar70biCXqWpM6KUA3iG34qqzk1gYijyg/s1600-h/IMG_0770.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgabA0YEY7crmpGj822dkNDkC3p5iXTZefJZfOkP1rCKgXAXQV9PtXKeyVYdLw2I0XnOcUa3FVarAQVlCa8AK0eLZnSuQl-DvJkO6TzvcfYa4dar70biCXqWpM6KUA3iG34qqzk1gYijyg/s320/IMG_0770.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437064174414684434" /></a><br /><br />Here is one of the finished ATC's.

I joined a group called Smeared and Smudged and they have an Artist Trading Card challenge. This month it is aged and distressed and so I thought I would used the gorgeous stamp, print it in a brown, tear the edges, add tea dye, color in the stamp using ink and layer it onto the ATC.

I used a toothpick and a plastic knife to put gold liquid beads on the fish. Once that was dry I added the green rhinestones for the eyes. Using Diamond Glaze I made little bubbles coming from the fish. I took flower petals and put them together to make a lotus blossom and fixed it to the "pond" using a gold brad. I finished the bag off with beaded trim at the top. <br /><br />I was thinking of putting flowers on the handles but I couldn't find the flowers I know I have. Another thought for the handles was to use a flower lei, but I think they all got used for something else. Here are the finished pics.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrz_X5UXw77YDlDczpEfxkaqcliVyYIdC6-k_I8tBH8LI-MW4qz08A6seQU2BENaJsMh9b1sVopHXmMppAdLnG8_sFX2k68DOykMCRkSKuBgVfHAej5swq8RuLp_2BJREr5Dvh9P2-wcc/s1600-h/IMG_0696.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrz_X5UXw77YDlDczpEfxkaqcliVyYIdC6-k_I8tBH8LI-MW4qz08A6seQU2BENaJsMh9b1sVopHXmMppAdLnG8_sFX2k68DOykMCRkSKuBgVfHAej5swq8RuLp_2BJREr5Dvh9P2-wcc/s320/IMG_0696.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432390725310759298" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd9OugV2Znxasp1p98txQMKUmMNtL5x8NAkjZw9W0zfQqw2CYZvTQaPwe65eL_0ulK6szn7tunsGm2h66rJCdotP-E9-wcwD9l5fQ7Ko401Wd0_EiMgkJNF8f9pzzBciIDWp2JlyyHFAk/s1600-h/IMG_0695.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd9OugV2Znxasp1p98txQMKUmMNtL5x8NAkjZw9W0zfQqw2CYZvTQaPwe65eL_0ulK6szn7tunsGm2h66rJCdotP-E9-wcwD9l5fQ7Ko401Wd0_EiMgkJNF8f9pzzBciIDWp2JlyyHFAk/s320/IMG_0695.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432390721109581090" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaizWR_amj36vHjdxgmVdCLnOAE69a9Ob8b0maVIbpuGJuQPgA8eBPF3-Lstb1L3M2LU_LrKQiEmwQ_WpGgACJehW-P9fyp_S2ynmqB8oNaI6gtDjVbFOlsGngaUm-YS2l1kjjdSD22dk/s1600-h/IMG_0694.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaizWR_amj36vHjdxgmVdCLnOAE69a9Ob8b0maVIbpuGJuQPgA8eBPF3-Lstb1L3M2LU_LrKQiEmwQ_WpGgACJehW-P9fyp_S2ynmqB8oNaI6gtDjVbFOlsGngaUm-YS2l1kjjdSD22dk/s320/IMG_0694.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432390717260274706" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043895694818659903.post-77070446367303299872010-01-16T17:40:00.004-05:002010-01-16T20:52:19.047-05:00ImperfectDoes anyone else out in cyberspace scrapping get tired of all the perfect layouts? Every layout seems to be about the perfect husband, kids, house, pets, life.... but life isn't always "perfect". It is harsh, messy, painful, cruel and sometime downright horrible. I have a lot of stories written down and stored in my head. I have things I have wanted to get out but never do it in layouts because that is so taboo. Well no more. These events made me the person I am. I have chosen different ways, different practices and broken many many cycles that could still be going for my family if I didn't choose to survive those things. To keep going despite the obstacles and the stupidity of others. Despite the choices others attempted to impose on me.<br /><br />I am going to start working on stark truths. Things I am proud of, things I still have nightmares about, things I have a hatred for, things I miss, things I loved. Some will be dark and scary....some will be sad. All will show how victorious I have been and when my children are older or curious they can look at these layouts and know I have worked so hard to give them more love and support--to treat them as human beings with true choices--and not just an adult who "owns" their children. An adult who could beat them, scream at them, hit them with cars....I am sure some people will be offended...some will be surprised. Some won't care and some will read and wonder why they never did anything to help me. I do not worry about those things. I survived on my own... Always on my own. I pulled myself up, I got through and moved on. <br /><br />I have a wonderful husband and family now. Although they will never quite understand where I have come from they will always love me. They have seen the cruelty of my family up close and quite too personal for them and have asked that we no longer have contact with them. I am fine with that and it actually feels GOOD! I am sure there are people who will see this post and say I need to be forgiving, etc etc but when the issues never stop, the emotional and verbal abuse never stops, when the physical abuse is still present with grandchildren, when those people never ever change, I do not need to keep myself around them. I may understand WHY they choose to be that way. I may understand why they try to project their issues on me or why they believe untruths about me, but I will no longer be the peacemaker. I will only be the survivor, the one that breaks the cycle. I have already begun with my children. Who else out there has done or is in the process of the same? Join me!
