i've been loving working on this ABC Year In My Life art journal.
here are the first 4 entries:

A is for Action:



B is for Because:




C is for Clearly:




D is for Decision:

The new challenge has been posted over at Gutter Girlz and here's my take on it:

THE PROMPT: WHATEVER, DUDE.
THE SONG: I don't THINK SO by Kelis
THE PRODUCT/TECHNIQUE: Handprint
I had alot of fun making the background - which is just layers and layers of papers and paint :)

Layout i did last night about my tattoo - i've been thinking about getting it touched up soon and i really dislike the other layout i did about it, so i just made this new one.

i love love love working with little bitty bits of handmade paper - so fibrous!
and added real fabric and lace to this.



i see a new avatar in the making:

It was sooooooo painful to look for and then look at those old photos of when i was heavier and living a sloth like lifestyle.

But because my life has spun so out of control over the last couple of months and i haven't been concentrating as much on my physical health my weight is slowly creeping back and i miss the different types of energy that comes with eating and exercising.

So, part of this layout is to re-motivate me..
And now i feel like i'm more on track but not quite there yet.

I've decided my new scrapbooking signature is drippy paint and i want to put it on everything! ;)
but really, i love the paint...
and the glimmer mist which i coated the alpha chipboard with 4 different colors to achieve that grungy look.



I'm not totally happy with this layout - it turned out busier than i had wanted, but i think just getting it done was an accomplishment in itself!
