Never Dull Your Sparkle Art Journal Page

Hello,

This is a page from my Doodle Smash for Mixed Media Monthly Challenge #2: Around the House, where you're supposed to use household items in your project...

Here are the items I used...

And this is how I did it...

1. I stamped the lady in black on my page, then on Colonial White cardstock. Colored her with Copic markers and cut it out. Added Glitz Glitter Gel on her dress and set aside to dry.
2. Tore patterned paper and adhered on page.
3. Place bag (that orange bag from mandarin oranges) on page and spray metallic gold ink.
4. Stamped Reversed Punchinella in purple and Sentiment in black.
5. Adhered the cut out lady on page.

The bag gave me this pattern:

6. Using the toilet paper rolls and bottle, I added circles to the page (I used metallic paints and different ink pads).
7. Using the ruler, I stamped black lines on the top...they're supposed to be "strings" for the "paper lanterns".

8. Added paper flowers.
9. Sprayed more gold ink on page.

I'm also entering this page in:
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: About a Face

Shabby Chic at H2H!

Hello,

This is my last project for H2H CTMH Challenge Blog as a guest designer...it was so fun to design for them!
The challenge this week is Shabby Chic...

These are my creations...

First, a card:

I used two of the 3 x 4 cards from the new Picture My Life™ Balloon Ride Scrapbooking Program (Z1948), Love Doily (B1418) and Fabulous You (C1533) stamp sets, Flourishes cuts using the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge, Flowers from the Artiste Cricut Cartridge and lace.
I also used a stamp from Distressed Backgrounds (D1544) on the flourishes for some texture, but I'm not sure if you can see it from the photos...
(P.S. I'm entering this card in the Word Art Wednesday Challenge #120: Anything Goes)

My second project, using the Flip Stand Album from CTMH:

I'm still working on a few more pages...will post them when they're done! =)
(Please note that I haven't taken the protective film off the flip stand album, yet. So it looks kind of frosted...and I'm entering it in Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Wedding or Anniversary).

Thanks for stopping by!
And I hope you're having fun creating and linking your creations (you have until the end of the month)!
