Posting Pictures of Craft Spaces and Other news

Linky tool now available on the left sidebar of the blog to upload your pictures with more ease!

Remember uploading your pictures enter's you to win a large Clip it up! And also enters you to win the large lot of goodies being offered! Remember when linking your scrap spaces to the linky on the sidebar that the link you put in there should be the direct link to the pictures on your blog. So, it takes them right to that post and they don't have to hunt through your whole blog to find the pictures! If you need help with this please don't hestiate to ask.

Feel free to check them out on the side bar of the blog! I do have pictures over there but have not linked them to a post just yet as I will be showing before and after shots of it.

Now upload your's. I'm very eager to see.

Also remember to posy a comment for me letting me know the link to your post to FB, twitter, pinterest, or a post to your blog about this great giveaway.

I'm going to be doing some crafting this evening and thinking of maybe jumping on Ustream to do so, not too sure yet but I have some cute things to show you all that I have been working on. Feel like joining me? Comment below and I'll make sure to post the link when I'm up and going.

Okay, so I put together the bulk of the large lot giveaway! Have alot of fun oogling it. Feel free to ask if you have any questions! I'm not done de-stashing as I will be adding lots of fun papers to this lot as well. I also decided to add additional things. Added a 7-gypsies envelope album, haha not sure why I have 5 of them, alas now you can have one! Also added some transparencies, paper tapes and well you can see it all here. I will be placing all of these pictures in the main post for this giveaway for anyone sharing it on their blog or what not.  Missing from photo is giftcards and SMASH book and Helmar adhesive.

Art Journal pages 2 &3

I could barely wait for the next prompt for this art journal. Just been anticipating it like none other. Here were the guidelines.

The prompt today is from guest host SUSAN!
THE PROMPT: Imagine
ie: what's in your imagination or where do you imagine yourself
THE STUFF: Pictures or words from magazines/newspapers etc
ie: Words, letters or images that develop your idea
THE TEChNIQUE: mask/stencils
ie: can be anything from flowers, letters, rubberbands or professional mask or stencils

Now, when I first looked at the word Imagine, all sorts of fun things came to mind. However, I've been using this journal as a way to express myself. And in expressing myself that means being honest and imperfect. I've had people who have known me for years, some I've worked with or for or even friends. I kept this secret from them. I chew! Not just my food but chewing tobacco. I know, it's gross, its stupid, it's unhealthy, it's just plain yucky! It's a darn addiction I tell you! I decided when using this prompt that I would create two pages because two things came to mind. Imagining my life being addiction free of tobacco and not going back to it. I created that page to be a dark and somewhat evil page as all addictions no matter how small are,  and then the fun Imagine! So, I created two pages! The first one I used all of the prompts and the second one I only used two but I did get in some fun masking tape background! hee hee

Don't forget to stay tuned on Friday for an amazing giveaway!!! We're talking big!
