<br />
<br />
I finally did it!! I decided to make a youtube video. For those of
you who are already amazing youtubers, I stand and applaud you. Oh my
goodness, it takes a LOT of work to edit a you tube video. This one
being my first is a bit rough, but I learned so much. I know how to make
the next one even better. :) I must admit that there were times during
the process that I thought to myself, Is it worth all this? Now that I
have one completed and learned the ins and outs of the program, I can
say oh heck yes!!<br />
<br />
Here is the video:<br />

I look forward to any constructive advice you wish to share with me.<br />

I wanted to include a list of the materials I used:<br />
Arylic paint I just used the Apple Barrel brand in the following colors: Sunshine yellow, Tuscan orange, laguna, china blue<br />
In the Lindey's I used Toto's Tornado black flat fabio<br />
In the Prima color blooms I used : Sunshine, summer sky, iris, pressed petal, gilded, teal<br />
In the Maya mists I used antique silver (not shaken)<br />
In the Shimmerz colorings a shade of gray<br />
I used 13 arts splash multipurpose inks in the color gold, turquoise, and pink <br />
I used Silks paints in the colors persimmon, teal zircon, black ice, and ice<br />
I used my Sakura white gel pen and my Signo white gel pen to doodle the lyrics around the page.<br />

Must collect hymnals, vintage books, old encyclopedias, ect., ect., AAAANNNNDDD suddenly you have a huge pile of them. You knew what you were going to do with them when you started collecting them. Maybe you saw and amazing project on Pinterest, or maybe a Youtube video about junk journals,but now that you have them you either have more than anticipated (since there can never be to many LOL) and are looking for ideas with what to with them. Well, me too. <br />

Turn them into sketch books.<br />
How afraid are you of ruining a book that well, frankly you either got for free or are contemplating getting rid of? I love to practice drawing, I am not very good at it, hence the practicing, but I surly do not feel bad messing up in a book I got for free or for nearly nothing. In my crazy thought pattern "sketch" books are for people who draw well and are artists. If I spend money on one I better only put "worthy" things in it. Am I the only one?? Well, anyway if I use a book I got for free or nearly free I feel like it is ok to have more bad pages then good ones. Here is one I am working on right now: This one is my faces journal/sketch book.<br />

As you can see the very fragile pages become very sturdy and workable when you glue two together and then cover the pages you want to draw on with a light coat of gesso. I have a bunch more of these books, so I will post as I come up with more uses for them. Thank's for stoping by my blog. I really love feed back and suggestions. Feel free to leave a comment.<br />
Have a creative day!!uptomyneckinpaperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11632260122640237238noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5867538117684682096.post-25246978772595995052016-01-07T18:00:00.000-08:002016-01-11T11:03:47.737-08:00Lovely lady of the page<br />
I just wanted to take a quick minute to tell anyone who reads this, that you can be brave!! You can draw what ever you want. You can like it or not. You can put it out there for others to see. Will some people have a bad attitude and criticize it?? Yes, in truth there will be some. Will others be inspired to be brave and post their own?? Yup!! I created this whimsical art journal page painting of a woman. Are the proportions of her face correct? Nope! I am happy and proud of her? Heck yeah I am. I used techniques that I usually shy away from. I hope that if you have a desire to create please create. Please don't worry about what others think. Most importantly please, please, don't compare your work to others. Compare you work to your older work. You can feel free to learn from others. Learn techniques that are willing to teach. If you learn a technique or the inspire you, tell them and please make sure to let others know. Chances are if they like what you created due to their influence, they will too. If we as a community build each other up we will show others to afraid to enter the courage to do so. Ok, enough blather here she is.<br />

I am there!!I am totally loving working in my art journal. Are you an art journaler?? It is so popular right now. There have been people who have art journaled before it was even called that. They are wonderful inspirations and examples to us all.<br />
What I personally LOVE about art journaling is that I am not afraid to make mistakes and take chances. If I mess it up no problem. It is only a piece of paper in a book, right?? I definatly try and attempt new techniques and crazy ideas in mine. Some of them do not work out so well, others however find their way into my go to technique mental tool box. :)<br />
I usually art journal just what ever pops into my crazy brain box. Some times I roam the lonely internet looking for an art journal idea fix. :) There are tons of amazing prompts out there. In fact, there are entire pinterest boards devoted to them. One such prompt group that I recently joined on Face book is called The Pic a Stick Challenge group <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/450888078433042/" target="_blank">HERE</a> . This month's prompts were:<br />
<ul>
<li>Create a title in YOUR OWN font</li>
<li>use gears</li>
<li>add a verse from a song</li>
<li>build texture with a palette knife using any medium you choose</li>
<li>create boarders/elements with scrapbook paper</li>
<li>use sparkles</li>
<li>add paint with a palette knife or card</li>
<li>journal so that no-one can read it</li>
<li>add a picture</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">write on masking tape in a pen or pencil and add it to the page</li>
</ul>
Use the hashtag : #PASC116 if you make an art journal page or project using the prompts.<br />
I actually made two projects using the prompts. The first project, I will honest, I really am not sure how I feel about it. I like parts of it and other parts I really dislike. The second project I used the same prompts, but I used them slightly out of order.<br />
<br />

I added a little doodling at this point AAAAAAANNNNNDDDDD done. :) I am happy that I did the challenge, I really am. I think this will work best for me to follow the integrity of the Challenge each month on one page and then do a second page right next to it in my own order. Then write about what the challenge made me find out about my self and my creativity. uptomyneckinpaperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11632260122640237238noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5867538117684682096.post-30940736277794722552015-05-22T09:02:00.000-07:002015-05-22T09:02:14.647-07:00Another project using the left over paintbrushes<br />
Hello Everyone!!<br />
<br />
Here are a few more projects where I used the paintbrushes from the palette kit.<br />
<br />
This one was very simple, but I really like it.<br />

My local Joannes store was having an incredible sale on EVERYTHING Tim Holtz., so I thought I would get the vintage pictures and I must say that I really like them. The metal pieces are from Flying Unicorn. The frame was a plain wooden one.<br />

<br />
Hello Everyone!!<br />
I have to tell you a secrete... Lean in close, I am totally addicted to Pinterest. :) Do you harbor the same addiction? I love going onto Pinterest for a while and looking around and letting ideas or quotes fill me with inspiration. Today I love the project I made. <br />
The pin led me to a 13@rts page <a href="http://13artspl.blogspot.fi/2015/03/feel-free-create-art.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>. I started out my Pinterest search that day with the determination to use some paintbrushes I had received in a "Palette Kit". I used the painters palette in several other projects, but was left with several not fabulous quality brushes. I have several projects I have done with the leftover brushes. I hope you like them.<br />

I hope you liked my variation of the project. I would like to know where/how do you get inspiration.<br />
Have a great day!!uptomyneckinpaperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11632260122640237238noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5867538117684682096.post-9625518706699975942015-04-22T09:19:00.000-07:002015-04-22T09:19:01.737-07:00Art journaling<br />
Hello my crafty friends!!<br />
Today I wanted to talk about art journaling. I found art journaling about 6-9 months ago, and guess what? I LOVE it. <br />
I have about 5 journals that I am currently working in. Some days I work in only one. Other days I work in several. While one is drying I work in another. I do have a few that are (loosely) for particular purposes. One such beauty is my "release and relax" journal. I use this journal to get what ever is bothering me out and onto to the paper. It allows me to say awful or wonderful things without anyone ever knowing or finding out.<br />
I have always kept a journal, well not an everyday journal more like a in spurts journal. I have always felt so much better when I am able to "say" those things you should never say out loud. <br />
One day about 7 years ago now, my husbands sister passed away very unexpectedly. She was a journal keeper and everyone wanted to read them. They wanted to "hear" her sweet give you the shirt off her back gentle and loving spirit forever immortalized in words on paper. That is NOT what was found. All her journals were negativity journals. Friends, family, ect. were devastated and hurt.<br />
For the longest time I would not dare write in journal, what if they found some of the terrible things I written in order to get things out of my head and heart? I could not keep away from the needed release of getting things off of my chest. I would write and then trow them away or burn them.<br />
Then one day I found art journaling. I knew exactly what to do with the journals that I had hidden deep in the closet. I could put gesso, tissue paper, paint, collage, and any other number of things. I could then make a wonderful piece of art for my loved one to see. Never knowing that underneath lay all the raw unfiltered feelings. What a relief. <br />
Not all my journals have a purpose, some pages are just to play with a new product I get. One of the best things about art journaling is, if I hate the page in end I can choose to keep it and learn to embrace imperfection or I can gesso over it and have another go at it. <br />

The black circles were made with a cap from my allergy medicine. :)</td></tr>

I used a 8x10 canvas. I actually recycled one that I had glued some music note paper to. It was rather hideous and I was so happy when inspiration hit. I honestly hated the original piece so much I did not take a pic of it. :)<br />
I then painted a layer of crackle medium onto the canvas. You can use Elmers clear/gel glue if you do not have crackle medium. there is even a tutorial HERE if you would like to know how. <br />
I then painted the canvas with Apple barrel brand paint in the color Cloudless. I added black India Ink splatters. I let it all dry while I dipped the paint brush tips into paint and set them aside to dry. I also gathered materials from all my stash piles. Metal pieces, scraps of crochet doilies, chipboard pieces, and Flowers. The words are from past Maya Road ware house boxes!!<br />

<br />
Today I wanted to share with you an altered paint brush. I was at my local mega store and I was looking for some spackle to use in my mixed media projects. Please don't get me wrong, I love modeling/texture/embossing paste as much as the next crafter, but I don't always need it to be archival safe. Any way, as I was walking down the aisle I saw these paint brushes for 81 cents each. I knew one would work for a substitute for a Hake' brush for my daughter. The other I bought for me to try to do something with. Here is what I came up with. I want to do a series with seasonal colors and ephemera.<br />

Happy Thursday Everyone!! I am so happy that Friday is right around the corner. I love getting to spend time with my family on the weekends, but this weekend is when Flying Unicorn will be revealing this months kits. *SQUEEEEE* I have already ordered mine during the sneak peak pre-orders and I am (very un-) patiently waiting for it to arrive in the mail. :) In the mean time I have been on an art journaling kick lately. I wanted to share a page that I created recently. <br />
I came across a quote by Georgia O'Keefe recently that has really spoken to my heart. "I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way". Have you ever felt that way? <br />

I am so happy and grateful that I have begun expressing myself in my art journal. There really are things that are best not seen by others. This way I can get my feeling (good or bad) out and onto the paper. <br />
I hope you all have a wonderful day!!<br />

For Christmas this year I got several stencils. I must say that I am really loving playing with them. I has seen video after video where fellow artists were creating the most wonderful master pieces by incorporating them into the pieces. Itchy to give it a try myself. I came up with this:<br />

I wanted to make an underwater scene, nice and inky and wavy. I started by thinking about how in heck I was gonna find and print off the Koi fish that would be just perfect. I went to google images, then headed over to youtube. I watched and looked about a bazillion (4 to be exact, but bazillion is fun to type) videos. I finally came across one that gave me a basic sketch and encouraged me to personalize it from the basic sketch. I am really proud of my drawn Koi fish. I really wanted it to be much more fluid than the one showed in the video. I wanted it to look like the fins were moving with the flow of the water. Once I had the fish drawn I totally freaked out about adding color to it. So, I set it to the side and began working on my backround.<br />
I used some music paper from an old music book someone gave us ages ago. I gessoed the paper so, that it would be able to take all the product I planned on using. Now that the Gesso was dry I sprayed Lindy's Stamp gang flat fabio sprays in the colors Ocean breeze blue and Caribbean blue with just a few splatters here and there of Tim Holtz distress stains Broken China. This step is where I went just crazy and buck wild (well, for me anyway). I dropped Black India ink unto the paper in large globs and using a straw I blew the ink around. I am really am happy with the way it came out. Next, I took one of my Crafter's Workshop stencils (Art is) and used some Gloss medium thru the stencil just like you would modeling paste, paint or ink. I really love that it smudged the words just enough for them to not be completely legible. Once that dried I used my Crafter's workshop stencil that has cup rings and spatters to add some modeling paste and back India ink.<br />
Gulp, it was back to the best picture I had drawn from scratch in ages. Well, I pulled up my big girl panties and broke out the water colors and just started moving them around on the image as I held my breath and hoped beyond hope that I would like it in the end. :) I walked away for night. The next morning I broke out my markers and began outlining and adding in small details like the spots on the fish and his mustache. I cut the image out from the paper that I drew it on, leaving just a small border. I was so happy with it. I used gel medium to decoupage it to my background. When I added it to my art journal I decided to add a black border. I am glad I did it really makes it pop for me. The last step was to add the "bubbles" and go around them with black ink to help them stand out more.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoyed looking at and reading about the process.<br />
Have a great day,<br />
Haley<br />

Hi everyone!!<br />
<br />
This Tuesday I was given a canvas that was going to be thrown away. The canvas had been used to tryout some melted crayon art work. I must say I very much regret not taking a before picture. I was given the canvas to upcycle. :) Below are some pics of the finished product and proof that Tim Holtz tissue wrap can be glued down with melted wax. It was really fun to play with a medium I don't normally use.<br />

Recollections micro beads that have been in my stash for easily 5 years. Check out that super cool giant glass stone wrapped in copper foil (or something similar). It is super cool.<br />

Have fun and give upcycling a try.<br />

I recently started a monthly kit subscription to Flying Unicorn kits. I cannot tell you how awesome the kits are. They have 4 yes, thats right you read that correctly 4 different kinds of kits to choose from. How cool is that?? :) I used the stencil we got in our kit this month on here. I also used the Shimmerez sprays and paint that came in my kit. A few of the flowers and metal embellishments were also from there. Most of the flowers and supplies came from my stash. I have decided that if want new and exciting ideas and objects to work with then I have to clear out the creative clutter that is already here. I am so happy that I finally stopped waiting for something "worthy" of my hoarded supplies . I feel so free.<br />
Have many more projects to post of the next few days to play catch-up.<br />
Have an amazing day,<br />

<br />
I have a new one for you this week. I participated in a swap on the ning site myscraproom.ning. Carlene the pink scrapper was the host. The rules were to use a mini clipboard and to use only pink and white. So, without further ado here it is:<br />

The fanning of the lace at the top was my way of making up for the fact that I was unable to find a mini clipboard with a clip.<br />

The spool is one I got from Hobby lobby and used antique medium to age it. I got the bling from ETSY. The flower is from I Am Roses. The crochet flower is from Cheep trims. The trim is Maya Road. The chipboard letters are from my chipboard drawer (so, no telling).<br />

Here is the handle of the fork. I just love polka dots. BTW the story of how Polka Dots came about is really interesting you should check it out some time. I just love this bling. It was a wonderful investment.<br />

Here you can see the Tines of the fork have been curled to help hold the decorations and to provide a pleasing view. :) BTW embroidery floss works really well on these mini spools.<br />
So, the next time you see a fork for free or close to please pick it and consider giving it a beautiful new lease on life.<br />

I totally love Hot air balloons right now. I looked up some projects about hot air balloons and found <a href="http://mslibertycreations.blogspot.com/2012/10/graphic-45-hot-air-balloon.html" target="_blank">THIS</a> Super cool right?? Then I saw <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ-pNzusUjI" target="_blank">THIS</a> I really liked the idea of hot air balloon being on the chipboard. My husband is really tall and our ceilings are, well, not. SO hanging anything from the ceiling is a no go.<br />
<br />
Here is my completed project, Tutorial to follow.<br />

I recently got some awesome October Afternoon<br />
paper. When I saw this cloud paper I thought I<br />
would never find a use for it. I think it works perfectly with the hot air balloon.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is a picture of the template my hubby made me on the computer, printed on a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper.<br />
<br />

the "bulb" is 10 inches. The length is 8 inches.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I traced this pattern onto all of my patterned paper. I made a chipboard template. Now I will have one for a long time.<br />
<br />

I traced and cut 8 of them.<br />
<br />
Next, I folded them in 1/2 length wise. I then glued them back to folded back.<br />

Now I took a 12x12 sheet of chipboard and paint it or cover it with paper. I chose to cover it with black cardstock.<br />

I placed a strip of pearls for the body of the butterfly. I had never sewn thru chipboard before. My VERY elderly sewing machine required some assistance, but I really like the way it turned out. <br />

<br />
I was looking around the internet for some idea's for a new project. I am finished with the enormousness wedding album I did for a lovely lady locally. I must admit that I do not want to scrap with purple for a long time. That being said I really did enjoy doing this for her. I scraped 120 photo's. Now that I am done with the album I am back to being able to work on my own projects.<br />
<br />
I was thinking about steam punk stuff and I came across a website with a pattern for mini mad hatter hats. Well, I knew that my GS would love making these for our annual Very Merry Un-Birthday party. They are SO easy to make. Here is the link to the <a href="http://lifeartcollide.blogspot.ca/2012/11/the-mad-hatter-meets-christmas.html" target="_blank">PATTERN.</a><br />
You will need to go about 3/4 of the page down to find the link. There is a tutorial on how they created theirs, but I changed mine up a bit.<br />
Materials Needed:<br />
Patterned paper, cereal boxes ( I have also used tissue boxes, mashed potato boxes, ect) <br />
Step One:<br />
Print off your pattern. (click on the word PATTERN above) Print onto 8.5 x 11 paper.<br />
<br />
Step Two:<br />
Cut your pattern out of cereal boxes. I use as a chipboard template to cut out the pieces from cereal boxes. IMPORTANT side note: the top of the hat can be chip board but the brim and the body needs to be flexible in order to make the shape.<br />
<br />
Step Three:<br />
Next, I cut all my paper pieces.<br />
<br />
Step Four:<br />
Adhere the paper pieces to your cardboard. ** Make sure that you bend the cardboard for the body by rubbing it along the edges of a table.<br />
<br />
Step Five:<br />
Gluing the body together. Hot glue the body of the hat together first. Then the top. Lastly the brim. * Before you glue the brim on you want to curl the edges. I do this by running the brim over the edges of a table like you did with the body.<br />
<br />
Step Six:<br />
Decorate in any way you wish. Flowers, trims, ephemera, charms, lace, stickpins, ect.<br />
<br />

When I am looking for a bling fix I go see <a href="http://cynthialoowho.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Queen of bling</a>. Cynthialoowho also has a youtube channel that you will be able to get to if you click above on the words "The Queen of bling". I really loved this project <a href="http://cynthialoowho.blogspot.com/2012/01/windowshutter-display.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> , so I recreated it. I hope you like it.<br />

The paper is "Gabriel" by BOBunny. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I Am Roses.<br />
The lace trim, the lace hinge and the lace butterfly are from Cheep trims. The bling is from a wedding supply store. The pearl swirl is from Hobby Lobby. I made the stick pin. If you are interested in making stick pins you can find tons of tutorials on youtube and blogs.<br />
