Wow where did the month of October go?!?  It's already over and it's just way too fast for me! It's my turn to host the showcase post over at Art by Mi Ran  and I decided to make another little tag to follow the theme of the month. Here's the image that I worked with   Love in a cup .  I really love my coffee so it was a fab image for me to use! This time I made a little video to share with you my process! I did a mix of all sorts of papers and layering on this one but I like the result a lot!

Oddball - October mid month reminder FB Challenge

Image
OMG where is the month of October going?!?  This is very stressful because I feel that 1st thing I will know I will have been without a job for a long time.... and I want to find one.... just need the right one. Anyway I'm here to remind you of the great challenge that is going on over at the FB group of Oddball .  All you have to do is use one of the images to enter! Here's what I made with the great image 170 .  I did a journaling of course and used a background that I had made in a local craftstore class over at Scrapbook centrale (yup you are supposed to do just a couple but I ended up with loooooots done which is great for right now and it's a lot easier to just play with the digi when you have something on the back already done).

Sassy Sandra - Art by Mi Ran

Image
Well I am happy to report that I like this month theme for the showcase for Art by Mi Ran  a WHOLE lot better lol.  It's all about tags and those I can manage.  Of course, seriously you can manage pretty much everything with Art of Mi Ran images but I still like making those a whole lot more than box cards.... Here's the image that I worked with   Sassy Sandra .  I'm not quite sure yet what I will be using her for but I knew that I wanted her to be kinda vintage. And I'm quite happy with the result.  I really went Shabby chic with this one.

Fall is in the air

Image
I finally KICKED my butt and got some of my calendars from the JB5 process where I had done 24 backings finished (well the front part anyway).  And I made a video out of it to share with you.  This time however it's not a fast forward one.... it's one where I actually speak throughout.... So LONG (warning you in advance). Pretty happy 6 done 18 more to go?!? YIKES when will that be done .....anyway.... If I want to have a chance to put the calendars in my Etsy store I need to get going.... plus it's something to keep me busy and hopefully feeling worthy of SOMETHING.... Here's the video that I made if you don't mind hearing me for a long time.... (you can put the speed at double on Youtube btw if you want to hear me in speed version). and here are the pictures of what I did. All the calendars used calendars from here . For this 1st October one the image is from Birdy Brown it was a freebie called Gnome boy fall and unfortunately the store is closed now :(
