Crafting weekend #2...

I had the most amazing time this weekend at Chelsey's Creative Events Scrapbooking event. A full weekend, a full room of scrapbookers, card makers, and art journalers, and it's like a little piece of heaven... that disappears in what feels like merely minutes. Here's a shot before we started:

And... well... all of my writing supplies:

Here's Christina and myself. She put a tattoo mustache on for the day. What fun.

Here's one of my Documented Life Project challenges:
"Draw a shape, repeat, add colour"

Chelsey was always is so kind and caring throughout these events. (And I'm sure in her daily personal life too, she's just one of those good people) I made this for her as a small gesture of my appreciation:

Then, smarty pants Roxanne decided she needed one so I whipped this one up in the final minutes of our weekend. (I feel like it's unfinished... I may have to give her a do-over):

Finally, I tried to work mostly on redoing my online classes I've taken over the past year. I started with Letter Love 101 and made my way to Letter Love 201:

I focused more on the lessons rather than the colouring. Now I have a ton of colouring to complete:

Can you see my name in there? It'll be easier to spot once coloured:

Remember all those stickers I had? This was finally my chance to play with a few of them without having to share... (I'm so selfish with my stickers... well, I want to be but I end up letting the girls use them before I can so this was a little bit of sticker selfishness for myself)

And more classes, partially complete:

Some lyrics from The National:

And some pieces of happy mail I received, turned into a journal spread:

I also finally finished the cover to my Documented Life Project book:

And made a picture of my two Prima girls. I see the left one as Addison and the right one as Emily.

And I got home to the first signs of spring!!!

journal pages and stickers...

I guess if there's one good thing about having to sit in the hallway while the girls "attempt" to go to bed at night is it gives me a good 20-30 minutes of (heavily interrupted) drawing/colouring time. Here's some of what I worked on this weekend while getting the girls to bed...

...oh, if letters grew on trees...

...ahhhh, yes... coffee rain...

I love stickers. Especially letters and cutesy stickers. I can't help myself. So much that I actually hide them from my girls so I don't have to share. That's so horrible of me!! But, if it makes it any better, I always am sure to buy stickers for the girls too. Probably too many, too often. But I just looooooove stickers...

I didn't like the cover of my Dylusions journal so I took an idea off Pinterest... I don't love it but I do like it...
