Day 11 and 12 #thedailymarker30day colorchallenge

So I never got the chance to update my blog yesterday for the coloring challenge so I will combine yesterdays and today's...

this is today's...I wanted to get a bit messy so I went with another art journal page...there is no right or wrong everyone sees something different..this page was inspired by another challenge well its more of a personal challenge really they just give you a word and how you interpret
that word is up to you...its called push your boundaries challenge..and my next word was splatter..see where I'm going here? LOL Messy!

 So we were out and about the other day and I saw all those flyers (we live in a touristy area) don't ask me why but I grabbed a couple of different ones my husband just gave me strange looks, anyway as I was looking through one I came across this cool ad for some attractions in the area it looked hand drawn with little splashes of color..I knew I wanted to incorporate that into my page...well really I made it my focus LOL I pulled colors from the image to use on my page...

here are yesterdays ... cute puppies LOL

aren't they adorable...they are from Kate Hadfield Designs, I got them for free from Simply cards and papercrafts magazine.

thanks for coming to check out my work!

Day 10 #thedailymarker30day

this is day 10...which was yesterday I just didn't get a chance to post to my blog LOL Its another Lawn Fawn set which I LOVE!

thanks for stopping by...

Day 29 Coloring challenge

I can't believe I made it 29 days...woohoo...just one more to go... #thedailymarker30daychallenge

I did learn a lot about my markers and colored pencils...that was the whole point in taking the challenge at least for me. I still have wicked issues blending but I guess that will come with time, I learned to mix my markers and pencils, that looks really cool and it helps with all the in-between colors that I'm missing. I find that I'm more relaxed after my time coloring which is awesome! I truly think it will be better after I get my new glasses because right now I spend more time taking them off and on than I do coloring LOL

so here is what I worked on today...both are still a work in progress...

here are a couple of my favs.....

Day 22

which I turned into a card for a swap...

and Day 24

I also turned this one into another swap card...

I hope my swap partners love them as much as I do!

thanks for stopping by!

thank you for coming to take a peek!

Colour Week #283

I had to laugh at this weeks color challenge over at Less is More , color are of our/your own kitchen. the reason I laughed is because the kitchen is so NOT my domain it's my husbands!
We have talked about redoing it since we bought this place about five years ago but every time we get ready something else needs to be done first...like busted water pipe,a leak in the roof haha I guess cosmetic stuff get s put on the back burner...Anyway our kitchen has a wide variety of colors (to say the least) but I picked the most prominent ones brown/wood tone and yellow...

thanks for coming to take a peek!

thanks for coming to take a peek!

Scrap Africa Mood Board Challenge no.73

I really loved the colors on the mood board over at Scrap Africa....I tried to incorporate as many as I could into my background but I also like the first image on the mood board...it reminded me of stacking so I tried to get that same feel with my stencil...I used basic water colors for multiple layers then I used distress ink with the stencil....I couldn't help but splash some plain water at the end...I love the splotches it leaves!

thanks for coming to take a peek!

Colour Challenge #270

Less is more.....the challenge is white space that isn't white....so this is what I came up with! so I went with a clean and simple card....I really like how the lacy border came out with the white embossing powder!

thanks for coming to take a peek!

less is more CITRUS

This weeks challenge over at less is more is a color challenge "CITRUS" now you didn't need to use fruit but I thought it would be cute and I truly thought I had a stamp for it LOL but I was wrong.....but since I had fruit on the brain I had to figure something out so I created my own version of lemon,lime and an orange on my silhouette and just cut them out and pieced together....

thanks for coming to take a peek!

Less is more white on white

I don't think I've ever played along with the challenges over on the less is more blog but I thought I would give it a shot today. 
It's a color challenge of course and what we would like to see is
WHITE ON WHITE(Accents in metallic or B/W are perfectly acceptable)

I tried to keep it simple....I'm not sure if I went to far with the flower lace or not!

 

 thank you so much for coming to take a peek!
 

with love
