Journal will be used to record when i have made something new,fave challenge cards and tutorials and will include photos of work and journelling.Have to say i am chuffed with my journal and went for the more is more theme....lol. Dug out all my tim holtz goodies and using a tutorial for the heart and crown which you can find at Janets blog (pink gem) had a great day getting messy and trying different techniques. My journal started out as this

That distressed feeling!!!!

Well now i have the tim holtz distress tool thought i had better use it....lol but have to say not sure that i like the effect,maybe i should have inked all the edges,will try harder next time!
Anyway made this card for a challenge over at docrafts where you follow a sketch and it was a girly theme. Dug out my papermania retro floral paper, not much left mind you and attacked with distress tool also core card and image is a penny black which i stamped when tanmo came to play one time as she has a fetish for pb stamps...lol. Coloured with my promarkers,used nestie labels,ribbon,greeting,gems and flowers all from stash. Right off to see if i can find some challenges to match,have a good evening,x

My first sugar nellie digi 'Joy'

Well after having some of the sugar nellie digis for a little while thought it was best that i cracked them open and actually used them.....lol and i am pleased i did as it was a pleasure to colour and enjoyed making this card though i think i might play with the sizes in serif next time. This is going to a docrafts buddy for her birthday so hope she likes it. Have used my beloved promarkers to colour her and used the DCWV mat stack and papermania paper 'Amethyst fusion' stack, nesties and stamped the greeting and used my fave stampin up circle and flower punches.flower and gems are from my stash. Having trouble with my blood pressure tabs and need to go on new ones so i  need a kick up the backside to get motivated at the moment but tanmo and angie around sunday so am sure that will help.
Will be entering this card in the following challenges
Do you stack up - sparkles and bling bling
Little miss muffet challenges - brads,gems or pearls
Creative inspirations - no square cards
