Winter Birthday Wishes {tutorial}

I had no chance to make any Christmas themed projects this year, but an almost New Year’s birthday gave me a chance to use one of my new Tim Holtz winter themed dies. Yippee! Although it’s been decades since I’ve ice skated, I fell in love with this die when it came out. I patiently waited for it to go on a good sale, and Black Friday didn’t disappoint. But then I needed an occasion to use it—for more than just in my inventory catalog. Card making time! All those Distress Spray Ink backgrounds I did for my Pray &… Continue reading

A Joyful Heart

I found this post lurking in my Drafts—from this past August (8/31). My spicy brain is conflicted over whether to back date this to then, or just post it now. So it’s now for now, but I may need to put it back in proper order later. 😊 But either way, my brain says these past posts need to be caught up before the New Year bells chime. Sometimes a Joyful Heart is the furthest thing from our reality. We are living with a broken spirit, that “dries up the bones”. Soul crushing harm and trauma does literally cause health… Continue reading

Pray & Play 1

{post 2 in this series} Taking some “time out”, during the busyness before the holidays, to just Pray & Play* was indeed needed, and ended up being a fruitful decision. Playing with Tim Holtz Distress Sprays is a favorite fun way to intuitively create, and get some wonderful backgrounds to use as foundations for finished creations. So that’s where I began. As I added layer upon layer, of inks and other mixed media textures for the backgrounds, inspiration came for taking them to the next step. And finalizing with words of inspiration and focal points. My first start for the… Continue reading

Comfort & Joy?

We’re in a season now that can be super busy. We can find ourselves lacking in the peace, comfort and joy that this season is supposed to be about. I’ve been enjoying all my music concerts and performances (4 just this past week, plus attending another of a friend’s), loved hosting Thanksgiving, was so excited to attend my coaches retreat—even though it resulted in an injury that laid me up for a while. I greatly look forward to celebrating Christmas with much of my family. And of course, there’s always work to pay the bills, classes to attend and to… Continue reading

Thankful—Birthday Cards

Creating took a hiatus for the majority of this month when first I was gone for a week for a Retreat (where I only took yarn and needles with me, for super portable creativity,) and then I fell on ice in the mountains, thankfully just before I came home. Bilateral injuries to my wrists, hands, and arms prevented doing much of anything, let alone crafting. Thankfully, I finger pecked to get my ThanksGiving daily posts done, on Facebook. Check those out! And Thankfully, again so much to be Thankful for!, now 2 weeks more past, I was able to catch… Continue reading

Mixed Media Collage Tags

I made it out of the kitchen and back into my Creative Studio today. (See freely eat whole post.) Still (slowly) working on projects from the Choose Joy online Faith Art retreat. Mixed Media tags.Collage is not a go to for me for a couple of reasons, that are probably quirky, but some of you ND peeps may understand. But I like how these turned out. Variety of collage fodder, finger painting marking, ink smooshing and spraying, stenciling, mark stamping, black & white stamped focal points. Whew! 💖 Since I’m getting this posted long after I started it, (back dated),… Continue reading

Joyful—Psalm 100 Faith Art

“Make a Joyful noise! Serve the Lord with gladness. Come before His presence with singing.” What better way to display Joyfulness in our art than with a colorful composition! I’m still working my way through creating some of the projects demonstrated at the Choose Joy Faith Art online retreat I attended a few weeks ago. I practiced what I’m preaching, and had fun making this mixed media Scripture Faith Art page, as I meditated on God and His goodness and blessed His name. (Read this whole short chapter in the Psalms.) This colorful page includes: Ink blending, reverse stenciling, much… Continue reading

I Sing Faith Dex Tutorial

Here’s the Video Tutorial for the Faith Journal page I composed for Singing, in my She Created a Life She Loves journal. “I Sing because I’m Happy! I Sing because I’m Free!” The written instructions for the page are in my last post. In this Video tutorial, I recreated, on a Faith Dex card, the techniques I used on the page. You choice which you’d like to make—Faith Dex Card or Journal page. Enjoy the video.
