Soooo annoying for some reason I can't seem tp upload any of my pics so I will have another try tommorrow....in the mean time here is the vid I uploaded.

Heya.

I'm back with a few pics from my "Keep On Scrappin" Journal...it's been good to use up some of my scraps and some of the flowers I have in my stash that never seem to make it onto any projects. The size of my journal is A5 I thought that would be a good size to start off with...I get a bit overwhelmed with layouts so I choose a small journal. Its real quick to which suits me even better. I don't spend much time on each page I just do my backgrounds choose my photo, grab some papers and glue them all on. I tuch a few other lil bits under here and there and "Robs your fathers brother!!!!" done. Definatly come over to Facebook and join in on the fun in the "keep on scrappin" grouip page hosted by Bona. It's great to be doing something all together :)

for some reason these pics are taking ages to upload so I will be back with the rest later :)

Hey there peeps :)

Been a busy week this week but still managed to get in some crafting.  For those who are here in New Zealand don't forget to check out my auctions on Trademe. My username is "cracakerspin" I've been making up flower packs and embellishment packs. I've sold a few let me know if you have any helpful suggestions.

I've been making up mini embellishment kits to, which I love to do but don't really wanna make any more until I start selling some cause other wise it's a waste of my supplies.

I have also joined the group on facebook hosted by Bona..Keep on scrappin :) I started my journal off with a hiss and a roar. I've got so many journals and this one will be awesome to.  I have a wee secret so don't judge me but.........I hate doing layouts!!!!!  I know seems weird that I'm in to scrapbooking lol I just don't seem to have the knack for it and I think because in real life I'm not a girly girl I find it hard to do layouts that are shabby chic or girly and I hate to waste my precious primas lol....anyhoo this Journal is awesome cause I been able to scrap some of the photos that I had for ages that don't make it into an album and end up living in a box. I will post pics on the first few pages as soon as my girl brings home the camera:) Hope everyone is well in scrappy land :)



Hey there :)

finished putting the covers on the mixed media album that I created for my kiwi friend. I really loved doing this album and hopes she enjoys it too.  I did the covers fairly simple and faith can choose to embellish it more if she wants to.  I've been back into my flowers over the weekend trying to make packs up to sell. Trying to give them that handcrafted unique-ness as well as being a product that crafters want to buy that is not to "homemade" looking. Anyhooo heres the vid <3

HEY GUYS
I've been having a wee break from flower making. I did make heaps on the weekend to sell and give aweay but the last couple of days I've been making a Mini Album for a special friend :)
I totally loved making this album cause it ticked all the creative boxes for me <3 it's a mixed media album and I just went crazy....I've use acrylic paints, stains , inks water soluble pencis and crayons, collage, stamping, glueing, I embellished with bling and flowers that I also have aletered. Everything on this album from front to back has been "TASHAFIED". I painted the dolly girls in the style of "itsaworkofart" on youtube. I really like the way she does her hair. My girls that I usually draw have more almond eyes. I've been drawing these lil dolly girls since I was young and it was cool to incorperat them into thins mini album :)....So now all I have to do is do the cover and  I'll be able to get that sent off to her :) I'll probably keep it for a couple of days to look at it before I send it off :)

Make sure to check the description for more details me and the other talented ladies mentioned in this vid :)

Heya Peeps :)

TGIF!!!!! Yay.  For the last few weekends we have been really busy and had visitors but this weekend is free so I'm hoping to get in serious crafty/arty time in.  I've been on a real flower making kick and can't wait to get into making some with the new vintagy lace I bought yesturday.  I also won an auction on trademe for this box lot of lases and trims, someone was having a cleanout and you know what they say "one mans trash is another mans treasure"....I can't wait to get my package in the mail and see what goodies I got.  I see alot of my scrappy friends get such great bargains at thrift stores but I don't seem to see anything good in our local ones.

I uploaded the tutorial for the "WET WIPE" flowers. I've been so into making them lately :)  
So thats about it for now, hope to be back wit some pics of all the crafting I get up to over the weekend.  Never did I imagine that my perfect weekend would be at home making flowers out of baby wipes!!!! <3 art song and soul I just can't live with out it xo

Heya Peeps

Hope everyone had a creative weekend :) Over the last week I've been getting into my crafting, been having a wee break from the painting but still doing a page here and there in my art journal :)

Been making some flowers and stickpins and also some beaded sprays I love making all that stuff it's like therapy.

Here a some felt rolled flowers with a bead in the center. I just cut these out by hand. Organza ruffled flower and a Twisted Organza flower. All very easy to make. No sewing yay!!!!

Some more of the flowers I've been making, some ribbon flowers and some Lace ones :)

Made heaps of stick pins these are a few of my favourite ones...golds and bronze and teals, creams and browns yum. And I've also been making some of my wet wipe flowers :) I love how puffy and dimensional they come out they are so lush. I think I'm going to have a handmade flower giveaway for the winner who comes up with a good name for them. I will keep you posted. I've been uploading vids so be sure to subscribe to my channel and keep updated with my artsy crafty carry ons.
Now that I have rigged my camera up I'm thinking of doing tutorials. Heaps of people have been asking me about the wet wipe flowers and other stuff and next month I wanna start these cool challengesbut I will fill you in on that later :) Youtube - artsongandsoul
