Santa Canvas

I have been playing with my Pan Pastels again.  This time it is Santa.  The taller Santa looks like he might have been out partying a little too late.  Tis the Season to be Jolly!!  lol  The canvas is a small one only 4"x6".  The Santa heads are a stamp set from KK Originals called Santa set.  Thats original, don't you think.  lol  Sometimes I crack myself up.  :) I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut them out.  Yes, thats right Santa brought me a Cameo.  I love it.  I must have been realllllly good this year.  ;)

I have a new follower, Karen Garrard.  I checked out her blog.  OMG!! was I surprised to find what I did.  She does the most amazing things and faboulous video tutorials.  I am so glad she found me.  Here is a little album I made using her tutorial.  If these papers look familar, I am trying to use up the papers I had left over from making the Gift album.  I am not sure I ever will. This album is like a tri fold card.  Some pages open from the left and some from the right.   It was quick and easy.  It can't get any better than that.

Glad today is over

What a day.  I am totally exhausted.  I worked all day on five, count them five, ornaments.  They were on the front of a Stampin Up catalog and all of us Meade Stampers fell in love with them but what a PITA.  Now I find out that they sell kits to make them.  And cheap too.  I could have gone the rest of my life with out hearing that.  Tomorrow, well I guess I better finish my Christmas cards.  I have put that off for too long. 

Christmas Journal Page

I finally finished the journal page that I had been working on.  I have a million things to do but it was calling me.  As you all know I took Dyan Reaveleys class.  I really still enjoy doing this messy art.  Friday night I took Donna Downey's class.  Another messy one.  I have to work on those pan pastels.  So you won't be seeing anything from that class soon.  lol  And then there is Christy Tomlinson.  Am I seeing a pattern here.  I think so.  I am definately getting to use all the embossing paste that I bought a long time ago up to the Amish country.  I used the transparent pearlescent on the snowflakes.  I love it.  I bought it to use on cards and never did.  It is good to know it is getting used instead of setting in my closet.  Any way I thought I would just show you the journal page.  Enjoy

Art Journal

Today I finished my journal cover.  I have been planning on doing this forever.  I am pretty pleased with the way it came out.  I  got a book called Collage Couture to help learn how to make Fashionable Art (The girl).  I am really enjoying them.  Lots to learn though.  So this cover is a combination of Dyan Reaveley's techniques (the background) and Collage couture.  Now just to get it filled with wonderful things that I plan to try.  Enjoy
