And last night I had a blast doing another Mixed Media class via FaceTime with Dawn and The Inked Stamper girls. I really love that I can still take classes even when I live a million miles away in the middle of nowhere!! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE how this page came out!!!

And I had a fun filled weekend in the city to boot - going to see my new grand baby and seeing the play Avenue Q.
And of course a trip to the city wouldn't be complete without doing a bunch of shopping for crafting supplies! I also got a great kit from Trisha at Artsy Adventures and picked up my supplies for my online class with Dawn!

I did get some other journaling done this weekend.
When my colours didn't turn out as expected on my IW pages, I tried again in my other journal. And I love how this one came out. I used techniques I have learned from all my scrapping buddies and just LOVE LOVE LOVE the end result!!

And then yesterday I got happy mail - I got my ATC's from my swap partner Renee. So fun!
I might just get more crafting done than I thought, cause when it is killer hot outside, my craft room in the basement is the place to be!!

So with camping season starting I am not sure how much crafting I will do, but I did get some stuff done this weekend!
Finished week 8 of Inspiration Wednesday. If you like art journaling you really need to check out this class - it ROCKS!!!
Donna Downey Inspiration Wednesday Class
I'm not sure what I was expecting with this week, but I knew I didn't want to go with black glazing because I wasn't 100% happy with the results of it on week 7. So I had a colour scheme in my mind - but that is not what I ended up with! My vision was something completely different - but I LOVE the end result anyway!!! And it was fun learning different techniques. The only real down size is that the wooden letters I found were A LOT thicker that I think Donna's were, so now my journal is REALLY bulky! But hey, that is half the fun!! :)

I also started on a swap I had - these ATC's are for Renea. I have to make her some butterflies too - and I made a box to put them all in. Those pics I will post later.

And I can share my other cool news - with pics.
The FABULOUS gals at Scrap Addicts (Cori-Lyn and Ivy) asked me if I would be a guest designer for them! My response was a resounding HELL YES!!! The kit they gave me to create from was just full of great stuff. I had a great time creating with it!
The first project I did was an altered frame. I had originally intended to put a picture of my husband and I in it, but I was having trouble printing off the picture I wanted. I came across a really great one of my son and his fiance so decided to use that instead and make it into a gift for them.

For my other project, I did an envelope mini album! I found the idea on Pinterest and though it was a bit tough getting the envelopes together, it turned into a really cute album! And it is also going to be a gift!
I even made a video so you can see all the pockets in the album!
So make sure you go check out Scrap Addicts - they still have a couple of this month's kits left and will be having new ones each month!
