My Dyan Reaveley "Paper Doll" Mixed Media Art Journal

I wanted to do an Art Journal using Dyan Reaveley "Dylusions" products and techniques ....so I decided to do it in the form of a paper doll journal.  Just thought I would let the paper dolls display the techniques.......I am having so much fun with this right now.....I am so loving all of the mixed media  products and making this journal....Just so many layers and layers of goodness and sooo many techniques...AND..it is super relaxing.  The "Dylusions" forced me to use a lot of my other mixed media stuff (products) that was kind of sitting around.....I think I am going to play and see where this takes me......This is so much fun ladies and gents...if you have not yet jumped on the mixed media wagon....Jump on...(Hehe...)I think you'll like it.....TFL all....

Valentines Cards

I am sitting here watching the "Obama Express" and I am so excited to be able to share in this moment in history. I decided my 5 days off would be spent in the comforts of my scrapbook room while watching the entire "Obama/Biden Affair-Inauguration-History Event".

I am also having a very productive scrapping weekend. I started making cards yesterday, Friday.......and I am doing it using "my stash". I am on a "self-imposed shopping ban" and I have to say....."I am soooooooo proud of me".....to date $0 dollars spent on new scrapbook stuff. Wow....that's 17 days....spend free.....It also helps NOT to go into the Craft stores .......I think, I am living vicariously through my sisters/brothers on the Cricut message board(Hehe).....They have been finding some neat stuff and bargains....I have toooo much I have to use.....Soooo.....I am just enjoying their stuff via MB......But anywho ..here are the Valentines cards I completed....I have not purchased any new stamps either ....And I am sooo loving that Martha Stewart Valentines Border Punch and I wanted the new $1 inkadinkado stamps....but.....I am using what I have....I also used Nestabilities (Heart Shapes) for most of the cards that I completed: So..... how did I do "Scrappin my OLD stash"?...........Oh, the cardstock is last years "K & Co "Smitten"....Okay, now I need to go "CREATE" some more.........I'll be back.....
