Everyday Adventures

You KNOW you want them. Just go ahead and admit it. Flower POWER! No these are not the latest fashion trend in summer eyewear UNLESS you are taking Everyday Adventures over at Big Picture Scrapbooking. These are my Goggles of Enhanced Perception. The class is based on the "How To Be An Explorer of The World" by Keri Smith. We also had to make a field journal to write down our observations. Here's a couple of other pics of my glasses too:

 I'm already having lots of fun with this class and I'll show you some of our 'adventures' in a couple of days.
I've also been trying to catch up on some art journaling prompts from both Your Life Spelled Out and A Year In The Life art journal sites.

My Voice

Ouch

I Am Not Afraid

Un

Soar

Move

And also here is this weeks Scrapperie Book of Me prompt: Pet Peeves or #PunchInTheFace. My friend Laura (Cameron_Crazy) was ticked about something one day and started the hashtag of #punchintheface. Well it's caught on with our little group when someone ticks us off or there's a situation we don't like we give it a virtual punch. 

 Ok that's it for the week. I've been a crafty busy girl! And lots more to do this week with birthday presents to make and kits to design with and art journal prompts to host & National Scrapbook Day next weekend. So go get your craft on!

Happy Easter!

It's a lovely Easter Sunday here on the Yellow Brick Road & my head even feels like it's taken a small trip to Oz (allergies). I wanted to share a pic & lo I did last night. Every year in Riverside Park they put out these giant bunny statues. They are only out for the Easter weekend and it's a tradition to go get your picture taken with them. For the last 3 years my friend Lori and I have gone to take pics with the bunnies. Kids at heart you know. Here's a pic I took yesterday with my iPhone:

And here is the lo I did for this weeks Scrapperie Book of Me challenge:

 I have pictures of my mom as a toddler with these bunnies. It's one of my favorite Easter memories/traditions. What are some of your favorite Easter memories?

Challenges Challenges Challenges

The new Gutter Girlz challenge is up! Below is my take on it. The prompts this time are  
THE PROMPT:
I'm Still Sugar and Spice
THE SONG:
One of the Boys by Katy Perry
PRODUCT/TECHNIQUE:
Ribbon/Bows AND Dirty Socks

On my lo you might notice those cool flowers. Well I made them. Fellow DT member Carole Stirrat over at Scraptivity showed us this fantastic tutorial which you can see right HERE. I made a couple of minor changes to mine like using Glimmer Mist instead of dye to color them and Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks to color the pearls. I'd been wanting to make these for a while and Carole's tutorial pushed me to try.

 

I really love how they turned out! So girlie and perfect for my Sugar & Spice lo.

I've done a couple of lo's for Tally Idol. The first challenge was to use stars, chipboard, 2 different pp's & the word Climb in the title as the challenge was based on Miley Cyrus's song The Climb.

 

Last weeks challenge was about Idols! Scrap someone who's your idol. I immediately thought of my girl crushes on Gwen Stefani and Kat Von D. Kat's show starts back up this week too!!! Hope Aubrey is G-O-N-E!!! Ok anyway. We were also suppose to use paint and journaling and I think that's it. I've been holding on to these Marah Johnson Tattoo & Rock Star papers and I think they made the perfect lo

 

I've been participating in Happy Mail and since I got sick last month I was a little behind in my mailing but finally got a couple of things sent. First I made this box for one girl

 

And then I painted on this record for the Happy Mail Queen herself. Hope she likes it. It's a little quirky but I think she likes quirky.

 

I finally finished my rainbow lo for my BPS class. It ended at the end of January and I'm on week 3 still. 

Story of my life!

 

Then at Scrapperie I'm the team leader for the Book of Me group and we scrapped about our favorite beverage. I noticed all these Starbucks cups on my floorboard after a weekend spent in Tulsa and knew the pic would be good for an upcoming lo and I was right. Good thing there isn't a Starbucks in Smallville here.

 

I went to a fun weekend crop at my lss a couple of weekends ago and that was a great time. A cold one but still fun. I got 4 lo's done which was amazing. The Starbucks and Rainbow lo's were 2 of them. You'll have to wait to see the others.  I've been doing some art journaling as well. Finally caught up on posting my 52 Self Portraits on my  tumblog and am working on catching up on P365. The pics are taken but I forget to upload sometimes. Loving my P365 app because it helps keep me on track. That's it for today. Just trying to keep being creative every day. I'm lucky that I have a life that allows for such things. If only it also allowed for a cleaner house. You know, one with a maid that's name isn't Susan!
