Mini Gothilia

Here’s another page in the mini journal featuring the new Halloween images from Make it Crafty… this one is Mini Gothilia! I wanted to color her resembling Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride so I stayed with blues and grays and tried to give her a glowing look. Also because her dress was tattered, I gave it some extra grunge around the bottom.


This page is decorated with the same papers as the previous one but for a different look I added a torn areas and some orange ribbon mesh stuff. Finally I added silver roses from my collection which finished up the look. Hope you like her. ;D

Mini Dracula

I’ve managing to get all these fun new Halloween images from Make it Crafty colored and placed into my mini journal. I tried to use the same papers on all these Halloween pages so they have a uniform look. This image I used on this one is Mini Dracula and to give him some color I gave him a green/gray tint to his skin and then added red to the inside of his cape and eyes.


The dragon in the background is an upper portion of a bookmark. I originally got a panel of bookmarks to add color too, however, that was three years ago at a renaissance festival…. so don’t you think it’s about time I used them?! LOL The bats are diecuts and created out of felt which finishes off the page. Hope you enjoyed it! 😀

School Girl Tia

It’s another challenge day at Make it Colourful and this week we want to colour with purple!! This challenge is sponsored by Some Odd Girl and for my project I used School Girl Tia and Bookish Tia then set in front of the Sunflower Garden by Make it Crafty.


Today I just have a colored image for you and I used two shades of purple. For the clothes and eyes I used V91, V93, V95 and V99. Then for the hair I used V112, V15, and V17. I also used a a new skin tone combination which is E000, E00, E21, E53.

Time to get out those purples and lets see what you got – and don’t forget to upload your pictures into the new gallery! 😀

Mini Medusa

Ah, yes, it’s getting close to Halloween and I’m finally giving into the craze and using those spooky images! After all, I have plenty of them on my shelf that are just crying for the ink! I created this mini page in my journal using Mini Medusa from Make it Crafty. There are six of these cute new monsters and I had to color each one. ;D


The orange mesh ribbon is a new embellishment I picked up last week and was so excited I almost bought out the store! The rest of the supplies have been used before and I even used a small scrap of the Filigree Borders chippies up in the corner – just couldn’t throw that little piece away! LOL

Sitting Annalise

Make it Colourful has an interesting challenge for you today! We want to see you color your image without the lines!! Well, okay, you can have lines but they have to be very, very light. ;D I chose to color Sitting Annalise and the Flower Swing from Make it Crafty for another page in the mini journal.


Coloring with no lines is actually harder than I thought and I probably wasn’t in the exact frame of mind to take on this challenge. It was a good thing I started with the girl because by time I got to the swing I just sort of scribbled on the colors. Maybe next time I’ll be in the mood but for now…. “I like my lines, thank you very much!” LOL


However, you don’t want to miss out returning to the challenge blog and checking out what all the other ladies have done – they all did a wonderful job and there is so much inspiration over there! So pull out your lucky token, hold on tight, and give this a try – it’s one that you don’t want to miss out on. 😀


The challenge blog has a new gallery too … come check it out and upload your challenge project!

Steampunk Rio

Here’s some fun news! I’ve been spotlighted at Simply Betty Stamps today and I made this project for that very special reason. Head on over and check out the post then don’t forget to leave some love for Betty. ;D

For my project I used Steampunk Rio from Simply Betty Stamps and paired her with the Clockworks House from Make it Crafty. I chose to go with an easy brown and blue combination and started off picking paper from my scrap stash. Because the Clockworks House looks like it’s small enough for a fairy… I added chipboard wings to Rio.

I was on the look out of the meshy metal stuff at the scrapbook store (later I found out it was called Punchinella Sequin Waste Ribbon) but instead I was only able to find some burlap ribbon. However, it worked out nicely on this page too. ;D I finished up the page with more chippies and button brads.

There is a revolutionary new technique that was used on this page and I’m sure everyone is going to want to try it… at least everyone under the age of two! LOL My daughter calls it art but I called it “Agg, what did you do!!” She scribbled on the background image with E53 and over the character image with a pencil!! I was able to salvage Rio but the background just had to stay as is – luckily the color wasn’t too dark. ;D
