The Etsy Store

Well my friends the Etsy.com Store was a bust so I'm sticking with eBay. For those of you who read my blog you will find my items in mine & my boyfriend's eBay store going-going-gone2u. I have made several projects that have been listed that I will picture here. If you have any questions on how I did any of my altered items please do not hesitate to ask.

Adding in past altered projects

I will be adding in past altered items/projects to be seen by those interested coming here from Etsy.com so please keep checking back as I have to scour through my hard drive to find the pictures. Aside from being a scrapbooker I am big into photography and between this computer (my desktop) and my laptop I have some 12000 pictures... for this reason the two computers are linked together thank goodness. So please keep checking back and as I find them I will be posting them.

I'm back.... AGAIN!!!

So here's the scoop!! I started a new job and have been working 6am to 2pm (sometimes 3) I get up a 4:30am so by the time my daughter's bedtime rolls around I'm exhausted. What happens at that point you want to know. I lay down with her to go to bed and the next thing I know...it's 4:30am. I have to say thank goodness for my DVR recording all my favorite shows. LOL!!

I have recently started selling some of my work... more specifically altered items on Etsy.com and eBay.com and wanted to make this my viewing place for some of my work. along with my scrapbook.com gallery. With everyone telling me that I'm creative and talented I wanted to share my work with others. So for you out there reading this... Thank you for stopping by my blog and thank you for your interest in my items that are for sale on one of the two websites. Please do look at my gallery and if there is an altered item that you see and are interested in and want personalized please do not hesitate to sent me an email through Etsy.com

Thank you again for stopping by and please be sure to add me to your favorites as I will try to keep posting new and exciting things going on!!!

Congratulations to Our Graduate

This is a page to Nicole's Graduation Album. I used Basic Grey's Two Scoop Paper Pack for my base paper and my border. The Base is "Blueberry Custard", the border sheet is "Spumoni" and the green used for the double matte is "Mint Chocolate Chip" (which by the way is my favorite ice cream...LOL) The stamps are also Basic Grey Two Scoops/Swirlie. I inked the edges of the page using Staz On Jet black ink and a make-up sponge wedge (idea given to me by Scrapperlicious) The green flower is Petaloo and the two pink flowers are The Paper Studio. The large gem in the middle is actually from a pack I picked up at Big Lots for decorating cellular phones...LMAO! Thanks for looking. I love sharing my creations with the rest of the scrapbooking world out there.

Prom Pages Completed

Below are the four pages for my cousin's graduation album finally completed in total there was about 12 hours of doodling between the four pages along with an additional 4 hours to complete the rest of the pages. The base of each LO is black cardstock, the borders or overlay paper is DCWV Luxury stack, I used a couple Gelly Roll White gel pens medium point on the doodling, the gems throughout the page are Darice, on Page 1 & 2 I used a black The Paper Studio Flower, Daisy D's teal flower, the iridescent flowers were from a flower bouquet bought from a craft store and plucked off their stems, the typewriter black & silver letters are Stampendous, the PROM NIGHT sign is By Jolee and the transparency is Graphix printable transparencies that I inked with black Staz On ink. Pages 3 & 4 the script letters are Bellisimo Personalized Monograms, the mini books are from a kit by Miss Elizabeth, the photo corners are white Scrapbook Adhesives Corners By 3L, that I inked with silver Colorbox Cats Eye Ink and on 8 of the 16 I added Joann's Glitter Glue, the gems are by Darice and the ribbon is craft ribbon bought from the local craft store. The chipboard by Kurio (a subsidiary of K&Company).

How to begin

There are no right or wrong ways to doodle but there are some important things to do while doodling. (that I've learned through out my pages). 1. always start at the top of the doodle and work it to your ending point. So i.e. start at the loop and work it to the end. You can make it as extravagant or simple as possible that's all up to you. If your doodle isn't perfect IT'S NOT A MISTAKE it can be fixed so don't get frustrated. If you're looking for a perfect curl and it doesn't come out that way don't fret just shadow the area of the curl that doesn't look right until it's perfect to you.

Don't Be Afraid

Don't be afraid to overlap your your flourishes and arches it gives them depth. But as a suggestion as you will see back in step one do the arches first this way you'll know best where your flourishes will go. In addition something that I do is go back with either a black sharpie, or zig pen and where the contents cross I add a little detail to show the separation. So i.e. if there are two arches crossing over each other then border the top arch on the sides only with black. If it is a flourish stem line going through an arch then the portion of the stem in the arch I will make black just to give it the extra detail so it has some addition depth.
