CCC 94 Memory Dex Card Hey Crafty Gems! I've been playing along with the #memorydexweekly challenge over on Instagram, and when this week's theme came out- "Rainbow Connection" came out I was totally stumped at first. I'm not much of a rainbow girl unless you count Rainbow Brite lol. But when I saw this weeks Creepy Cute Chronicles edition 94 "Creeps to the Crypt", I had a crafty epiphany!  I've had this quote written down in my crafty brain dump binder for almost a year, so I was so damn excited when I realized that I could use it with this SkullShake! If you're signed up for the premium membership you received this full color image which I printed out along with my quote. I grabbed 2 plain white memory dex cards from my stash and covered them with gesso. (I have a few cut out with my Cricut and by had to just grab and craft with in the back of my Memory Dex Box.)  After the gesso was dry I used some cheap water colors from Daiso to p...

Hey Gems! Are you signed up for OddBall Art Co's  Creepy Cute Chronicles  yet? Each Friday newsletter contains a brand new digital stamp as well as inspiration projects from the design team. This weeks image was inspired by an ATC by Lizzy Love Which inspires me to create this art journal page. I absolutely love how it turned out. I've had this background inked up fo a while now and when I saw Lizzie's ATC card I instantly knew what I wanted to do with that background. I used cheap black, gray, and white acrylic paint to dab on clouds and paint the mountains and castle. After it was dry I glue down piece of scrap paper and Princess Ash and a little bit of book paper underneath her. Then I used a white gel pen in a sparkly one too dot on my stars and write my quotes from Nikita Gill. I felt like the book page's words were a little distracting so I then painted black flames on top of them and hazed the whole area with a little bit of black paint on my fingertip t...

Hey Crafty Gems! Today I'm sharing with you a little bit of a different project that what I'm used to: An Altered Tin! I bought the tin in the toy section at the Dollar Tree which used to house a puzzle. Don't toss those puzzle pieces though, you can alter them too! First, I spray painted it. I used a normal paint+primer but it was sprinkling outside when I started and I'm impatient so it got dropped on. 🌧☔Which turned out to leave a pretty awesome texture behind. After I let it dry (for like an hour or two) I then splotched on some Glitteriffic Black Opal from Wal*Mart, then another layer of Galaxy Glitter in Aurora Borealis Green from Hobby Lobby. A little bit of Black Colorshift paint again from Wal*Mart, then it was time to embellish! I absolutely fucking adore how this turned out and it's going to be seriously hard to give up to my swap partner! I added some white and sparkly details on her horns, eyes, lips, and berries.  I feel lik...

Today I get to present to you the Love You Beary Much Stamp Set on a trio of embellished envelopes! I colored up these lil cuties with my alcohol markers and fussy cut them out to use like diecuts. I made the envelopes by hand but you could just as easily use store bought envelopes to decorate. I'm crafting with a very small stash consisting of 2 bags that I brought with me from Tx to Ca and some items I bought here. So after I layered up each one with washi, crape paper, and tulle I felt like they were missing something. So I went into my tiny ...

Hey Gems!                      Happy New Year!!! I can't believe then another year has flown by and that it's already January of 2020! I am also very excited to announce that I will be representing Odd Ball Art Co for another year this time on the DesignTeam! So with that being said here's my first project for the year: I love making memory dex cards to put in front of my collection to represent the month, current season, or just how I'm feeling. I created this one using the first CCC image of the new decade (whaa 😯)  "A New Beginning" version without glasses with bottles from February 2019 Monthly Exclusive and November Monthly Exclusive for the front. I decorated the back with another bottle from February 2019 M.E., skull from November 2019 M.E. and Rum bottle from CCC number 39 Paradise Island. If you're having FOMO about all these past Creepy Cute Chronicles editions, don't worry! If you sign up for the Pr...
