ATC Swap Submissions

Hi guys!
I recently joined an ATC swap in a group I belong to on Facebook. This was my first time making an ATC, and I enjoyed it! I ended up making 4 with the intention of keeping one. I had one person to send to, and the other two were for swapping with other people who made extra. This ended up being a very long process, I recorded 2 hours and 45 minutes  of video. I was able to get the video time down to 23 minutes, and I will post that in two videos, both of which can be found below! I have also put the full supply list below.

Hi guys!
 
I have fallen behind in my Documented Life planner over the last while. I spent this last week working on week 14, here is what I came up with!
 
 
 
It is a simple page, but I am quite happy with how it turned out! I do not have a gelli plate, so I used a

'Add a Food Box' DLP Week 16

Hi guys!
This week I got back into my Documented Life planner to do the week 16 challenge, 'Add a food box'. I had a few empty packages left from Easter candy and one from a box of granola. I showed all three in the video, but only ended up using two of them.
 
 
This page was fun to do, I had no idea what I was going to do when I started

Art Journal Process #2

Hi Guys!
My most recent art journal page was done in my journal that is almost full. There is not much left in it but some premade backgrounds. This page started out as scraps that I had pulled off of my table and glued down, probably almost a year ago. It has sat, waiting, for me to do something with it. Here is what I came up with!
 
 
I had no idea where this page was going, I was just wanting to do something with it. I'm still not completely convinced

'Warm Wishes' Mixed Media Card

Hi guys!
 
I was asked to make up a  sample for my local scrapbook store using a few of my the new Prima card size doll stamps by Julie Nutting. I thought I would film the process for you. This was my first attempt at making a mixed media card. I have done cards, and I have done mixed media art journaling, but I have never put the two together! This was an interesting challenge for me!
 
 
 
I knew that I wanted to use more than one of the stamps from the set. I like how this card turned out,

Week 12 of The Documented Life Project and Week 11 of Journal 52 Combined

Hi Guys!
 
This week I was inspired by 2 art journal prompts, one from the Documented Life 'Cut up a magazine - add!'  and the other from Journal 52 'Stars'. I had a few old People and Glamour magazines that a friend had given me, so I decided to use those for the magazine cut ups. Here is my single page for the Documented Life.



 And here is the double page spread for Journal 52.
