Christmas Time!!!!

No time to waste!!! As I seem to be missing months this year I for the safety of my sanity have decided to jump into the Christmas Spirit immediately. THIS WILL BE THE YEAR!!! I will be organized ahead of time & enjoy the holidays and the month of December's joy DAMN IT!!! Like most of my friends we scramble and jump and stress while the lovely spirit of Christmas becomes a big fat chore-to-do list. My illusions that I will spend time a week before Christmas in a mall bar sipping a Christmasy drink and enjoying watching people scramble, safe in the knowledge that I am fully ready have yet to be realized. Last year a group of friends signed up for my plan and NONE OF US WAS READY!!! In the wonderful spirit of that joy here is my Linnie Blooms post for the month.

Also in the spirit of getting things done this is my page for the wonderful The Documented Life Project.

I am embracing this weekly project and doing it when I can so while I am ions behind that is ok. (sssh I know this is an April prompt don't tell anyone) I am loving the times when I can play.

Inspiration Wednesday #6

I KNOW so soon you say? Well I actually had a few days of glorious procrastination and finished almost 5 yes FIVE weeks of Donna's IW!!!!! It was fanfrickintastic. I would lay down product, clean house while it dried, lay down product... LOVE IT!!!! Now if only my house showed as much progress as my art journal book! 

Instead of a 2 page spread I did one side & the flip card. Really liking the page so I stuck pretty close to what Donna did just changed the colors and tags. I may still add something to the flip but it looks pretty cool as is. Of course the fabulous copper metallic doesn't show on camera. Love tabs and that makes me happy so I will be adding more of those. 

 Here closer up to see a bit of the copper. YAY. Now go get inky!!!

Inspiration Wednesday Week #5

Hello Inky Friends. As I play catchup here is week 5 of Donna Downey's IW. 

I decided to do a bit of a switch up and used one of my favorite products- Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam and Glaze. The colors blend so nicely and create a wonderful, glittery glaze. 

 Flicking Glimmer Glaze creates shiny spots of nummy-ness. I am tempted to do some stamping in the open spaces but for now I let it stand.

Here is the total layout- the photos don't do it justice. Live it is all bright colors and shimmer. I love the way the colors blend so smoothly!

 Here is the flip side. If you haven't checked out Inspiration Wednesday you can do so here. 

Until next time!
