I absolutely LOVE art journalling, and want to share my discoveries with you. I am so thrilled to announce that my Youtube channel is taking a whole new direction (don't worry,  there will still be plenty of cards!).
I love all kinds of mixed media, and am bringing a whole lot of wow into my channel, with all the art pieces I am making and sharing with you.

Did you know you can use your Stampin' Up! supplies to make an art journal?  Or on a canvas?  Or to create really cool sketches?

I am really enjoying the new mixed media products now available, and invite you to join me as I dive right in to making happy art!

Paper Crafts Festival

I spent a fun day at Penrith Panthers Paper Crafts Festival today. The Stampin' Up! team did an amazing job and were definitely the most outstanding display as you can see from the photos.

I caught up with my friend Cherryn and her friend Veronica for lunch and we had a great chat about all things paper! The crafting bug is something that provides a lot of joy for me, and I love sharing my crafting passion with others.

Have a wonderfully creative weekend!

Our Wedding!

It's been a while since my last post, as Paul and I have been away on our honeymoon! We had a traditional Hawaiian Ceremony in Maui and it was absolutely perfect.

We have been together for 6 years and the 2nd of September is our "day". It was the day we first met, the day we moved into our new home, the day Paul proposed, and the day we were married. 

I made so many little mementos for our wedding, including all the signage for our photos.

I can't think of a better way to use the Large Numbers and Letters Framelits, can you?

I used a steel-edged ruler to make sure they were aligned perfectly on Basic Black Card stock (I used the 12" x 12" size as it was a little longer than the A4 size.) I adhered them with tombow multi adhesive and cut them out using the Copper Foil Sheets.
I love how they turned out, and I will be keeping them in my keepsake box of wedding treasures.

Garden Girl with Prismacolor Pencils

Hello and welcome to today's blog post and papercraft project. I wanted to try some simple colouring using Prismacolor Pencils. These pencils have a gorgeous silky feel and are my pencils of choice for really smooth blending. 

I kept it simple, and made sure to ground the image with some sketchy green so it doesn't appear to be floating on the page.

I used tuxedo memento black ink for all the stamping, and made sure to include a greeting inside the card as well as the sweet butterfly image.

I love doing a single layer card once in a while, and keeping it simple.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoyed today's project. Vicki x

Watercolored Striped Backgrounds:

 Hello, and thanks for visiting my blog today. I just love using white embossing powder on watercolour paper, then wetting the paper and doing simple blending with an aqua painter.
It's pretty much fool proof, and the results always have a painterly feel to them, as no two are the same.
By adding a paper doily, some washi tape and twine with a lil' punched out heart you can create a sweet baby card.

 Inside the card I used the Moon Baby stamp set and direct marker-to-stamp technique, mirroring the colour scheme of the outside.

The balloon is from the Balloon Celebration stamp set, and I used a versa mark pen to draw in the string line.

The background paper picks up the pinks, and it is mounted on a pink pirouette card base.
