Project Life pages for 2014

Hey Crafty Peeps,
Soo technically this pages are 2013 but I'm finishing them in 2014 ( I think this is commonly referred to as Procraftination ) but at least I'm finally getting around to it. For anyone wondering "Procraftination" is currently listed in the Urban Dictionary so I must not be the only one? right. I posted my process video for this page on my YouTube channel "Starsinpalm" so go check that out if your more of a visual leaner like moi. For those of you who came to my blog via my Youtube " High Five"  ( Borat Voice) and welcome to the mad rambling of a craft addict LOL. Below you will find a portal to Narnia or maybe just some really fun and creative project life photo's! If you guys enjoy my work I'd love to hear some feedback in the comments and feel free to ask questions as well.

I really try not to get glare on my project life photo layouts but it can be quite challenging! I hope in the future to purchase a scanner or just find a better quality light source for pictures. I seriously love how this page turned out and I "swoon" every time I read this Helen Keller quote, its been a favorite of mine for quite some time so I was tickled pink when I saw it in my Gossamer Blue Life Pages kit. I whipped out my old type writer for this page and made a million typo's but decided to leave it because I figured life's messy and imperfect but beautiful non the less.

I really just loved this photo and didn't wanna go over board with the embellishments because its already so beautiful to begin with. I used a really fun mini stamp set from Kelly Purkey with the perfect saying to describe this photo and created the mini vellum banner with my Lawn Fawn Stitched die. I just love to incorporate mixed media into all my paper crafts so I used some India Ink to create a water color effect on both banners. On the top right corner I used an Amy Tangerine stitching template to create texture and fill in blank space on the top of the photo using some Gold thread from my studio calico kit card kit but you can find similar threads at your local craft store (This Detail is seen better in first Photo).

Something I really enjoying doing is creating embellishments ahead of time that will possibly coordinate with my page. One way of doing this is knowing what colors are gonna end up on your page, for me this is quite easy since I tend to use the colors Pink, Yellow and teal in some way in all my pages! I created that stitched circle heart vellum embellishment that's right above that Freckled Fawn arrow paper clip which I went ahead and rubbed with some hot pink acrylic paint since I didn't have the exact color I needed. The Geo tag  sticker you see below came from a studio calico sticker sheet I had from one of there recent collections. I hope you guys are enjoying these project life posts and are feeling inspired!

Project Life 2013

Hello,
My Bloggy Peeps! I decided to share pictures of my recent project life page because I figured you guys would enjoy seeing them. If you follow my Youtube channel then you have  already seen my project life process video of this page but if not my channel link is on the side bar. I hope you guys enjoy these photos and please feel free to ask any questions you may have!

I love me some Freckled Fawn! The vellum tag you see here, I made with my  Kelly Purkey Label die and stamped on it with the coordinating stamp set.

On this card I created some fun embellishments by stamping on a tag and die cutting some cork and paper hearts. I wanted to create a cluster up in the top left corner and I personally love how it turned out. If you guys enjoy these post please be sure to leave me some love in the comments and checkout my YouTube Channel Starsinpalm.http://youtu.be/tixQjqboBgE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DIY Day Book Album Cover

Hello, Bloggy Peeps!
I recently designed the cover of my Amy Tangerine day book . I really enjoyed the creative process that went into designing the cover and did my very best no to over -think it, which can be difficult for me at times ( believe it or not). The best advice I can give you when attempting to design your own (album cover) is to just commit to whatever decision you make and don't fiddle around with it to much because it might keep you from even attempting to start. I find that in crafting the hardest part is just the  "starting process" because at least for me, I tend to want things to just look perfectly designed but "what is perfectly designed??".  " Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" as the old saying goes and not everyone will like your design but at the end of the day if you like the design that's all that really matters. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that you should be crafting for " YOU" and no one else but you and it will be perfect! On that note ( I do hope you like my design) or at the very least it inspires you to start a project you have been scared to begin if your interested in seeing the creative process on this cover checkout my youtube channel on the side bar where I have " DIY" video on this album cover.

I love creating my own elements ,so I designed all the mini circles you see on the page. It was my attempt at creating ones similar to the Studio Calico ones but with my own twist.

Happy Easter Card!!

Hey , Bloggy Peeps
I hope you all had an amazing Easter or Passover. I had lots of fun hanging out with my sister and watching the season finale of ( The Walking Dead). I was really hoping Andrea wouldn't get killed off since in the original comic book series she was lived through all this stuff ( but she did kinda put herself in harms way)..Ok enough ( Walking Dead) rants from me! ( LOL) I recently posted a new tutorial for this lovely card you will find below and I hope ya'll enjoy it, if you haven't already checked it out! I have a mini Easter haul I'm gonna be posting by tomorrow which should have gone up on Easter really but I've been super busy with finales this semesters so I tend to be running around like a chicken with her head cut off.. Feel free to ask me any questions though all the supplies used, I do show in my video..Thanks For stopping By!

I'm so happy I finally got to use this TGF set because it feels pretty hoarder like to have a stamp set you have never even inked up..I hope I'm not alone in this! hehe
