Bits & Pieces of My World Vol. 1

So, I could never really get into "scrap booking." Trust me I have tried and tried and tried but every time I seemed to fail and fail so badly!...Till I funked it up a bit, let the artist in me really come out and put my own twist on "scrap booking" and this what happened. I believe I am now a "scrap booker!"  I get it now.

So I have come with an 8 inch by 8 inch scrap book. Page one is a piece of art crated with inks, rubber stamps, watercolors, oil pastels, paper punches, embellishments and markers using fun art techniques. I made a 4" x  4" window mask and laid it down on top of my 8" x  8" piece of paper, then just crating a colorful square using the photo for inspiration. I then added some handwritten text around my pretty art piece. For page two I wanted the photo to mirror page one, so I  cropped a 4 " x  6" photo down to a 4" x  4"  photo and placed it right in the middle of my 8" x  8" piece of card stock and using a black sharpie I outlined my photo. For some more added design to make the two pages really work together I placed a 4" x  4"  mask over my photo and then using some grey ink and a few of the rubber stamps used on page one I placed just a few on one corner. Lastly I added names, dates and places to the bottom of the photo.

Teetering piles of confusion

I know I have been MIA for such a long time...well it's craft fair season here at Studio 23 and I have really been in high gear making a really really big mess of the studio. Anyways I thought you all might love to see what I have crated along with operation "Find a place for everything."  I have spent the better part of September locked in my studio making all kinds of crafty goodiness for the up coming 3 months of craft fairs. Then there was the day when I walked out to the studio and just took a good look at the oh so massive teetering piles of confusion that have taken over pretty much every inch of workable space in the studio. On Monday at 9am I had that "what the hell moment" how did I let my studio get this out of control? So I thought I would share just a few pictures into my small world of massive clutter...oh, so very embarrassing!!  

9am monday "what the hell have done to my studio"

this is gonna take a lot of coffee...

where to begin...log on to facebook...oh wait find the bottom of my desk
