Something New!


The New Year's Resolution!





In theory, it sounds great. A new year, a new beginning. We resolve to do things better, differently, faster, or whatever. It lasts for…well…a week or three.  And then it’s back to business as usual. Some habits are harder to change, and that’s why developing a good habit is really worth the struggle; once you’re used to making your bed each morning, or going for an evening walk, or flossing, you don’t have to exert much self-control to keep it up.





My resolution is to anticipate instead of procrastinate. It's not easy, but I'm sticking to it. I'm tired of drifting and ready for something new!





Here's to a BRILLIANT new year!









The 2019 Cupcake Inspirations challenges start today and Sparkle and Sprinkle is our first sponsor of the year!









This theme challenge is the perfect way to start off 2019!









I used the Sparkle and Sprinkle Light Up My Life digital stamp set to create my card. I printed on white card stock, traced with a Perfect Pearls pen and heat embossed with copper foil embossing powder. Then, I colored the images with Mustard Seed Distress Ink and a finger dauber. I edged the card stock with the pen and embossing powder as well for a finished look. I liked the look of the curly q filaments around the digital image, so I recreated them with copper colored Fun Wire. I added some foam tape to the back of the elements for dimension. (Supplies used will be listed at the end of this post.)

The Holidays are Upon Us!

WOW! This year is just blowing right along! I refuse to decorate for Christmas until after December 1 because I leave my decorations up through New Year's Day. If I put them up too early,  I'll want to take everything down before Christmas! I have a week to get in the festive spirit and get my house arranged and ready for decorating. I just can't seem to get in the spirit this year! Yeah, I know...BAH Humbug!


There's a new challenge on the Cupcake Inspirations blog and the theme is The Holidays! cic459sprinklesparkleOur sponsor for this challenge is Sparkle and Sprinkle and they are generously offering a $15 gift certificate to shop in their online store.



I used the Three Wise Men digital stamp from Sparkle and Sprinkle on my art journal page.

I designed my layout in Photoshop Elements and printed on mixed media paper.

I got out my Gel Press and some Dylusions paints and sprays to create the art journal background and added some interest with the Tapestry masking stencil from the Club Scrap Tapestry page kit.

The images were colored with Prismacolor colored pencils, fussy cut and added to the layout with foam tape. A little Stickles glitter glue and gems were added for sparkle.
