Jean's Artful Journey.......

It's that time of year again!!!

2010-11-03T08:45:00.000-07:00

Good Morning Everyone,
Happy Wednesday to you all!!
I would like to share a Christmas Card that I will be adding to my stash for this year.

First it's a wonderful snowman from Sassy Cherly's collection of snowmen.....I just love her snowmen they have so much character and are always having fun.
I've color the snowman with Triart markers and as usual with some prisma pencils.
The papers I've had for awhile so I'm not sure who they are from.
The snowflakes are from Martha Stewarts line of punches and the small swirl is from sizzix.
The sentiment is from the Dollar bin at Michaels......I just love those dollar bins there....There's always something fun.
Well enjoy the day and I hope you like the card.
Hugs Jean

Christmas Ornaments

2010-10-31T00:01:00.000-07:00

I have also been working on some Christmas Ornaments that I think are just so beautiful....They are pretty easy to make although they take a very long time to put together....And they take some practice in folding them. They are called Kusadama Balls...there are alot of tutorials on youtube that you can follow.

This is a close up of one of the petals in the ball.
Enjoy Hugs Jean

Projects I have been working on!!!

2010-10-30T00:01:00.000-07:00

I wanted to share the Halloween cards that I sent out to my Sisters..They were so much fun to do and so easy.The stamps are from Impression Obsession and are called The Peeking Pumpkin .... you can find the stamp here.I used My Triart alcohol markers and a few prisma pencils to color the images
I used several Martha Stewart punches ....Dont you just love the mice all in a row and the fence with all the bats .The papers are from K&C. And the embellies are form Michaels.

Hope you enjoy Hugs Jean

I know I've been gone a lone time!!

2010-10-29T19:09:00.000-07:00

Well I know it has been a long time......Many things have happen to me the past few months and I just haven't been able to post anything.I will get back into the swing of things I promise
I had to get ready for our school opening....School started so early this year august 18th.That just didnt seem fair....Summer was just to short!!!!!
Then My Uncle who was the most dearest of Uncle's passed , and my family and I traveled to Montana from California( that was the longest drive...18 hours non stop), but his Services were beautiful and it was a wonderful celebration of his life.
Then a friend of mine passed the same week.... of colon cancer, and that was especially hard for me because we shared the same illness.
I will miss both of them so much
Thennnn...... to top all of this off I had strep throat I had to deal with.
Well now I am finally able to get back into the swing of things and I will start to post on a semi regular basis.
I have quite a few things to share and I'm excited to share the projects that I have been working on. I will have a post for you tomorrow
Hugs Jean

I made my box bigger then in the tutorials so that I could accommodate my image.....All the flowers were from punches I have, (MS,EK,Sizzix)....This was so much fun to make and it really wasn't hard at all....after all the cutting I just had to assemble..
Paper: Core'dinations,white card stock.vellum,assorted DP
Punches:( MS hydrangeas, hydrangea's boarder, daisy boarder),(Daisy chain boarder,Sm and Med retro flower all EK )
Stamp: Michelle Perkett ,DIGITAL STAMP - THREE GRACES BALLERINAS

Hello Everyone

I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving and filled there bellies to their hearts content. I know that I did and I love being around family....My favorite thing to do!!!!!!!

Well I had some time off from work and got to play a little........I wanted to share some of the ornaments I made ...... These are what I came up with ......The blues ones are made from double sided wrapping paper I bought at Costco and white cardstock that I cut into strips and I used one of Martha Stewart's edge punches. The other one is doubleside DP paper from K and company . I found the snowflake instructions on YouTube. The white ornament design is from Beeca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace .com...You need to check out her site she is one incredible artist and she has a tutorial on how to make these ornaments.

I hope you enjoy them...Im going to use them as embellies on my Christmas presents

I have been trying to write this blog for a long time, Its taken me over 2 years to get this going .......so here goes.

I was originally going to journal my days through my adventure into chemo land just so my Family and Friends could see how I was doing. Well I'm glad to let everyone know that I have been cancer free now for over 2 years and with God willing ...I will be this way for a long time to come. I credit my recovery to my faith and my loving family.

I have so many friends that have help me through this dark time in my life and without them life would have been very sad and lonely

Well NOW I want this to be a place for me to share the things that I like to create.
And to connect with friends and new found friends
