I added Stickles to her wings & wand.  It's a lot more sparkly in person. I used a white gel pen for the stars on her dress. And the background, I used chalk. Kraft cardstock is by Paptertrey Ink. White coloring paper is by Cardstock Couture "One Sheet Wonder". Here are the Copics I used:

Hair: Y28, YR24, Y21, E79
Skin: E13, E00, E04, E000

Just for You *Saturated Canary Challenge*

 Hi everyone! I go MIA a lot don't I? My computer is slowly dying on us. It won't let me render any videos or upload anything intensive. It would just make a clicking noise, and clonks out on me. My husband says that the hard drive is going bad. I think we're just waiting for it to die, before we buy a new hard drive. lol.

Today I made this Saturate Canary "Just For You" card for their challenge. The theme is Fall, so I just went with fall-ish colors. The digi stamp is from the Camping/ Sleepover Digital Stamp Sheet.
Hope you like it!

*What is a Smash Journal?

I received many emails about my journaling with my last post. Some were wondering what is a Smash journal? Right now, if you are part of the scrapbooking world, those Smash books are pretty hot. It's a lot like old school scrapbooking. You document..whatever you want. It doesn't have to follow measurements, be coordinated, or even pretty. It's a way for you to keep memories of, whatever! Trips, daily life, random thoughts, or collections of whatever you want to keep track off.

For me I use it as a daily journal, just anything that is happening RIGHT NOW. No planning, no measuring, no over the top pretty pages. Just daily life stuff I want to remember.

Here's my my Smash Stash:

Smash journal, pockets, tapes, date stamp, smash pen,
pads, all by K&Co.

Polaroid 300, Polaroid Zink printer, Canon camera.

Yesterday and Today's entry. See, no planning, just jotting,
doodling, and everyday memory keeping.

Long Absence!

Hi everyone. It's been so long. But I have good reasons. Life and economy in general sucked up all my mojo. I had more bad days than good days, but I want go back to doing something I love, and perhaps it will make life better, yes?

I've been journaling, in SMASH BOOKS, by K&Co. To me it's quick and easier than scrapbooking. I still do scrapbooking, but sometimes when you're on the go, it's easier just to "smash" it down into a book.

In this journal entry, I wrote about mistakes I've made, and moving on. I used the new Saturated Canary digital stamp by Krista Smith. You can find it HERE. I ADORE Krista Smith's art, she is just the most amazing talented artist. I can't get over how she cranks these stamps out. I really want to color them all!

Here are the colors I used:

Hair: W9, W5
Skin: E13, E02, E00
Shirt/bow: YR16,Y35, YG09, warm grey 90%
Skirt: B16, B12, cool grey 70%
Shoes: C9, C5
