Create*Craft*Share YouTube Hop Is Here!!!!

Hi Friends! Woo Hoo....I am SO excited for today. It's the Create*Craft*Share YouTube Hop and boy howdy are you crafters in for some AMAZING projects by the 11 crafters taking part in the hop. 

Before I get to all the details I want to give another HUGE shout out to Miss ScrappinMadge for coming up with and hosting this FAB hop!!!

Here are all the fabulous sponsors who are giving up some amazing goodies for the hoppers...

 Here is the color story we used to create our projects....

I instantly knew what I wanted to create when I saw this color story....a summer themed project. So I came up with a super fun mixed media canvas for the hop.....

 I'll have more photos below but first let me give you the lineup for the YT hop so you can see all of the projects and enter for your chance to win the goodies up for grabs....

This was such a fun canvas to design and put together. The color story was very inspiring to create such a fun summer themed project.

Inspiration Art Journal Page One: Inspire

Hi Friends. I have been so excited to share this new venture I've started with all of you. I finally bit the bullet and decided to start my Inspiration Art Journal! I've been wanting to work on one of these for quite some time and I just decided I'm going to do it. 

I'm going to document my process for each page of the journal via a blog post and video. Sometimes I'll have bits of me working on the project in the video and sometimes it will just the end result but I will always do an intro explaining my thought process for the upcoming page I'm working on. I mention this in the first few minutes of the video below, but just to recap, I plan on working on this when the mood hits me or when I need a "break" from working on DT projects (which I LOVE btw), my own projects or those from some clients of mine. I want to be able to have total creative freedom when I'm working on this journal and this is such an exciting outlet for me : )

So enough chatter...let me share Page One with all of you : )

 Here's the video that documents and walks you through the creative process for this first page, I also show you some of the techniques I used as well...

 Here are some more photos of the journal up close...

I am in total love with this page...the purples, the textures and all the different elements really turned out well I think. 

I hope you will all enjoy going on this new creative journey with me and will check back when I have more pages to share. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and happy crafting : )
