Tell me in the comments, do you get all the crafting done you want to do? I watched some of the videos on the Card Makers for Success Summit last weekend, and tried some of them, while still trying to keep up with making at least one project for CalvinBall per day. Oh, and junk journaling, and SplitcoastStampers daily challenges, our blog challenges. I have to just confess; I can't do it all! And then there is this blog to keep up with. And life! Tomorrow I am headed to a wedding, so no crafting tomorrow.</b></span></p><p><span><b>I will share with you the project I made following Jess Crafts on the summit. I liked this because you can use a lot of stash. I really kept these cards from this sketch clean and simple, because I entered them in today's Clean and Simple daily challenge at<a href="https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/clean-simple-cards-239/" target="_blank"> SplitcoastStampers</a> to be monochromatic.</b></span></p><p><span><b>The Jess Crafts sketch uses a whole sheet of 12x12 patterned paper, three pieces of 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock for the bases, and 3 more pieces of 8 1/2 x 11 of colored cardstock for the panels. My dsp was two sided so I could varry the cards. On 5 of the cards I used some of my hundreds of Project Life Cards.

Yes, it is me again. I will post once in a while, I guess. Right now, the only reason there will be a post for <a href="https://alteredbooklover.blogspot.com/2024/02/t-stands-for-spice-merchant-teas.html" target="_blank">Tuesday Tea Party</a>, is I am actually scheduling it ahead of time. It is Saturday afternoon, and I am playing in my craft room. I was inspired by a<a href="https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/splitcoast-challenges-40/mmj2024-challenges-only-no-chat-please-646003/" target="_blank"> mixed media challenge</a> on SplitcoastStampers and by Viki Parson's Keep it Light February Challenge over at <a href="https://art-journal-journey.blogspot.com/2024/02/keeping-it-light.html" target="_blank">**ART*JOURNAL*JOURNEY*</a></p><p>Actually, it all began with me earlier in the week looking at my mixed media supplies and finding some had dried up. I had a large jar Teresa Collins modeling paste, but it was hard as brick. That took me down a rabbit hole on You Tube looking for how to restore it. I really couldn't find anything but decided it would not hurt to put water in it and try. So, water, mix with popsicle stick, twist, still hard; added more water and did it some more. I did this off and on for a couple of days. Finally, I got it so I could use it. </p><p>When researching on You Tube, I did find some good advice: Buy smaller jars, and when you use it, make a lot of tags, papers, whatever, while you got it out. Next time it might be dry! I thought that was very good advice. It might be more expensive buying smaller jars, but in the long run cheaper, because you aren't throwing out the jar of hardened stuff!</p><p>Once I got the paste workable, I began playing with my favorite colors of TH oxides, and fun stencils. Since the challenge I was doing called for a napkin, I then looked through my napkins that I have received in swaps. Imagine my surprise and joy when I found a napkin with not only the colors I used, but some same shapes that I used from my stencil! I used some various TH stamps, faces, & Bible Verse stamp. I sprayed the whole thing with some white glitter mist. I added the punched dove by the Bible verse. I dated it, because that is what Elizabeth taught me to do! </p><p> Here is my art journal page in an 7x10 Canson 98 lb mix media book.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigg77Tqj1uij4KCt3gHRDl61T2qT9G_HpTxZeMI7Oo-iJp0GT4rLTDwf8v02oztVWdwpJ1iouhnLFN7v1i02Z-xtM9Tji92iCm9ZrPyMjd3W0avWXwrcdSdZYt-Je0xo_g8qsJFHiftXkZ4C6aQ4gEBun-X_KpBENeXC3jfnMghs4RL2jOGl8Ml6fedV0/s3641/02%2024%2024%20mjj%20bible.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

Mia, even reached out to me and ask where I had been! I just am always so busy it seems. I have taken a trip to Canada and been to Banff, and other sights in Alberta & British Columbia. I am sure I will share photos. Then it was the time of the year for Thanksgiving and Christmas and all the festivities that go along with that. Also, we have had family come and visit, for which we are so thankful! Just wish our family wasn't spread all over the place! I have been leading a Bible study, and also have been hostessing regular challenges on SplitcoastStampers. And I am crafting quite a bit. I will share some travel photos as well some of my photos of the junk journal travel journals I made for my traveling companions.</p><p>But first here is my ticket to the tea party. I have missed you all! I even see new ones. I will have to go around and visit and get to know you. Elizabeth introduced me to Bagatelles when I first started reading her blog, and that is where we had lunch last week. They always have great specials, but you have to get there early! So we were there shortly after 11. It was a great day, to go because they were passing out complimentary pieces of Black Forrest cake to everyone! Wow, everything was so good. Thank you, Elizabeth! They are also so reasonable, $7.99 or $8.99 each I think.</p><p>Here is where the tea party is: <a href="https://alteredbooklover.blogspot.com/2024/01/t-stands-for-college-hill-deli.html" target="_blank">T Stands For Tuesday</a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKQ1ACaGLHO8iSHh1b7k5iHAHwKAEQSJdjZnn_XqLFUqYkhpkge5bPg38W_fkfDS-p7ySkZR8cT4WZkjlavHr2rQsaapdXHAHdyEjhYJcDWrkLXQ_lCQq_Bz1rHgGPN-7J5p3GdnwRYDA60_blADbEaVyCmn4m31K58PD3PzLTAlG_GbFaAhhFbkvB-Z4/s574/IMG_20240111_111503.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="574" data-original-width="430" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKQ1ACaGLHO8iSHh1b7k5iHAHwKAEQSJdjZnn_XqLFUqYkhpkge5bPg38W_fkfDS-p7ySkZR8cT4WZkjlavHr2rQsaapdXHAHdyEjhYJcDWrkLXQ_lCQq_Bz1rHgGPN-7J5p3GdnwRYDA60_blADbEaVyCmn4m31K58PD3PzLTAlG_GbFaAhhFbkvB-Z4/w480-h640/IMG_20240111_111503.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p>We had the enchilada casserole, with roll and soup.

I do not plan out my projects I just start in. I had found this old ephemera from our 25th anniversary trip to Paris and went from there. I liked these colors of color bursts and prepared my background. I sprinkled the Canson 7x10" Mix media paper with my powders, too many, and then spritzed with water. I had a miss! Then I daubed with a paper towel. Then I didn't know what I was going to do besides putting on the little map actually of our boat trip on the Seine. I got the idea then to put what the occasion was with the die cut words and a stamped remember. I put on the scraps that I tore off, only used the other side. I put a rub-on in the top left corner and the today's date in the bottom right corner. I did some inking of the edges. I think that is about it. Oh, I added fiber! I enjoyed the process. And I used my colors!</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_M4UjlMFlXUu3Z0QZX2U8v2C0W6AMSI96vmSDRd3EJL530bnLkbrVSqPmh3GvYeZ7f1hbPVt2ogZN5j412f9USmcswkl7QDXKOHDORNrcpju4LZ00HVShuizCYnt8FJmzWj78a2nfZehAKvI2GA4nM05ZRjUGm5wQChE4hLiLkIttGhK6R9Gi5SZhqYA/s3816/08%2007%2023%20art%20joural%2025th.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2722" data-original-width="3816" height="456" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_M4UjlMFlXUu3Z0QZX2U8v2C0W6AMSI96vmSDRd3EJL530bnLkbrVSqPmh3GvYeZ7f1hbPVt2ogZN5j412f9USmcswkl7QDXKOHDORNrcpju4LZ00HVShuizCYnt8FJmzWj78a2nfZehAKvI2GA4nM05ZRjUGm5wQChE4hLiLkIttGhK6R9Gi5SZhqYA/w640-h456/08%2007%2023%20art%20joural%2025th.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The rub on IRL is black, don't know why it shows white in the photo.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><b><br /></b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm7dWoVuA_rdV-s6GyRJK_dYElDf-BhFbJtt-Jq00zxny-g2fKo9WhYhgCcvdc5oK-jj4I6rACMUEwV_8AFBD55ubRHIT_YoVCBw44KU1Xvi26EZtm9YwGFyf19U4K1p6tj7IA3fF5tTf61HCF_yx2vH-hTTTQ-ZvuoUuNXFv_AgOTEnHGS7MYDv51Rm4/s1846/08%2007%2023%20art%20joural%2025th%20cropped.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1846" data-original-width="1674" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm7dWoVuA_rdV-s6GyRJK_dYElDf-BhFbJtt-Jq00zxny-g2fKo9WhYhgCcvdc5oK-jj4I6rACMUEwV_8AFBD55ubRHIT_YoVCBw44KU1Xvi26EZtm9YwGFyf19U4K1p6tj7IA3fF5tTf61HCF_yx2vH-hTTTQ-ZvuoUuNXFv_AgOTEnHGS7MYDv51Rm4/w580-h640/08%2007%2023%20art%20joural%2025th%20cropped.JPG" width="580" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Anyone read French?</td></tr></tbody></table><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRXqVxtHB-TX_XGUcotjOhgWatJRZ2HZAg6_N0iOXcr6URmGo8wD2ixFujtqcQ0s15YDDm_A3GwUjFvdFTXpuiCxD-TJCqROKrvTsL9w-ZxRf3zNOeggUDvpih5Tjs3yASwgYuIPHsvBcPC8KO2fT6kLsJQEvhfUbCJRjfyWNUFqKV188hiNjkv1NAJFw/s2052/08%2007%2023%20art%20joural%2025th%202.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1466" data-original-width="2052" height="458" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRXqVxtHB-TX_XGUcotjOhgWatJRZ2HZAg6_N0iOXcr6URmGo8wD2ixFujtqcQ0s15YDDm_A3GwUjFvdFTXpuiCxD-TJCqROKrvTsL9w-ZxRf3zNOeggUDvpih5Tjs3yASwgYuIPHsvBcPC8KO2fT6kLsJQEvhfUbCJRjfyWNUFqKV188hiNjkv1NAJFw/w640-h458/08%2007%2023%20art%20joural%2025th%202.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><b>This will be a fun way to remember.

So, she</b></span><b style="font-family: verdana;"> said besides some of us doing a swap that we should post something with a 10 on our post, since it is the tenth anniversary of TSFT. So be thinking what you will do for that. Just another way to make it special! Hope you all can come next week.</b></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>We finally got some rain! Thank you, Lord. We needed it so bad. Everything was just drying up. For a whole week, I didn't get much walking in. I was in my craft room more! I have been junk journaling. I am doing the July Challenge with DearJulieJulie on You Tube. Another thing I have been doing is making samples for our big challenge at SplitcoastStampers. Once a year we have DTGD, (Dare To Get Dirty). It is about 40 special challenges over a week's time for our Fan Club members. I am one of the hostesses, so am trying to make samples for the other hostesses. It will go live July 22nd.

We have a choice of bases, for example: Mystery, wrinkled, bubble, envelope, scrap pad, Texture, noisy, map, etc. For these I used mystery. Each tag has something hidden. The first one is a hidden journal card, if you pull the top off; the middle has a waterfall inside if you untie and open it up; the third has a pocket in the side and inside is a little journal booklet. I also used DJJ's digitals, planner papers, buttons, lace, & postage stamps & trims.

Check it out!<br /> I have tried to make three to five Christmas cards a month, so that I wouldn't have to make them all in December. So I have been busy stamping the insides, just as time consuming as making the card. I have tried to stamp the inside sentiment and then cut the inside panels to match what is on the outside. Look at what a mess my die cut area is. Also, these are my cards and their insides on my main craft area. I have 40 cards made, stamped on inside, and my "made by stamp" on the back. So, now all I have to do is address them. And when I make them all different, just maybe five a like, it is difficult to choose which ones to send to who!!!

I used <b>Midnight Muse</b> and <b>Old Olive</b>.

I will try to get started even earlier tomorrow, because I usually walk about an hour and a half, walking 4 and 1/2 miles and I have Bible study at ten and need time for a shower before I go.

I could have missed today, too because I am preparing my lesson for the Bible study I lead on Tuesday mornings. And I got a late start on everything today. I usually start the day with an early morning walk, but today it was sprinkling, and kind of dark and I thought it might really rain! As it turned out, it fizzled out and the sun came out. By then, it was 10:30, so I walked late, and it was warmer of course. Then I was tired, and it was lunch time!

The inchie images are from stamps I bought locally years and years ago at Mrs. O'Leary's Artful Ilussions. She makes her own stamps, and you could purchase just the red rubber very cheap. I don't think she makes stamps anymore, but I could be wrong. Anyway, I played with my accumulated stuff. I heard a quote lately. " I don't buy too much craft stuff; I just shop faster than I craft.

She prepares her cardstock for her journals by using Stazon re-inkers & alcohol. She has tried to explain this process to me over the phone several times, but I guess I am pretty dense! LOL So we had a fun session making these pages. We mixed re-inkers and alcohol and then pounced with little sponges on the paper. Something I noticed is how soft the paper feels after this process. I love them, as they turned out I think very lovely! These are 12x12 papers. My color is not showing very well. They were mostly teals and this look too blue. Anyway, they are pretty, and I can't wait to use them either to scrap on or for card backgrounds. </b><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Or</b></span><b style="font-family: verdana;"> maybe they will end up in a journal! I showed her how I use oxide inks to make a background.

And other rooms as well, because I went through boxes and loaded down beds in two different rooms! I did not find the third photo and am thinking I either imagined such a photo or have seen it in a video. Now I am wondering if there is some way, I could get a still photo off a very old video? At least I did have the video put on a CD. </p><p>I will share the page I scrapped with you today. It is for the Scrapbook Goals Challenge on SplitcoastStampers as well as for the <a href="https://scraphappy.org/calvinball/" target="_blank">Calvinball challenge</a>, again. I am still having fun, but the big thing is getting motivated to get a scrap album project done! Adding all the different elements got me 36 points on this layout. They add "rules" every day. Today the added quote, chipboard, button among other things. I added all of them. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg-cB-DlVlNF0X8PVmtuVLMeC4bU9yVxwY9hCHYgPnO5H1lfRcoVhe-Qk3cC-Lu60a7WBenPOUegag-jVVU4CkFw48WKa2cM2WrJ5Wt7JIeLvqr6oRoUqYEqUv-qXewsn1LyqQADFC3Qzjjyfa5QHFK87qCERmZKLpSBiEqIKk0n7IAJqjmVWTNsx2/s2985/03%2013%2023%20chair%20sm.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2631" data-original-width="2985" height="564" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg-cB-DlVlNF0X8PVmtuVLMeC4bU9yVxwY9hCHYgPnO5H1lfRcoVhe-Qk3cC-Lu60a7WBenPOUegag-jVVU4CkFw48WKa2cM2WrJ5Wt7JIeLvqr6oRoUqYEqUv-qXewsn1LyqQADFC3Qzjjyfa5QHFK87qCERmZKLpSBiEqIKk0n7IAJqjmVWTNsx2/w640-h564/03%2013%2023%20chair%20sm.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It is time for my ticket to the <a href="https://alteredbooklover.blogspot.com/2023/03/t-stands-for-lets-eat-pi.html" target="_blank">TSFT</a> party over at Altered Book Lover with Bleubeard & Elizabeth as our hosts.

We did finally get some much-needed rain over night, at least an inch. We will take it as we are very dry here. We even had tornado warnings last night late but didn't hear of any developments around here. That is good. We had lots of wind and thunder. We were already in bed when it all started. It didn't bother us enough even to get up and look out the window. And today was nice enough to go walk for as long as I could stand the wind. It is supposed to get up to 67 degrees F. </span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">On to more important things, like crafting. I watched several videos presented by the Card Maker Success Summit. I saw lots of fun techniques, and new products. I did not purchase the VIP which gives you unlimited access to the videos, just watched while available for 24 hours for free. I also did not purchase any new products. I am in the mode to use up what I have, which is considerable! <span style="color: #1d2228;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 17px;">The individual designers did provide us with free worksheets on how to make their projects, and I downloaded some of those.</span></span></span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #1d2228;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 17px;">Here is a card that I made for the Challenge Your Stash group on SplitcoastStampers for a monochromatic red card. I used stash for sure! I have hoarded this SU! designer paper for over 10 years, and I only used a little 4x5 piece of a 12x12 sheet for this card. </span></span></span></b><b><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-size: 17px;"> I used SU! Real Red cardstock for the base, and also die cut the sentiment from the Real Red. I added prima flowers and a brad from my stash. Now, I only have 199 more prima flowers and 999 more brads! I die cut the little flowers for the upper corner. I think I nailed the challenge!</span></span></b></p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Vdrw104bHsLj6uDyPqTTQ7ot-8f9S6w970OrgZMnpm5fnalo3ZHWbDDMqYJzcuew_V8h7lgUpc2o7TCqJoky_7uamHPrqIgenI8jggawgplEqleVUvR7L3OUdYJzlxj6F5mLfjhy3UL3ldz-PLlKvonqc2t-SvcTSm_9LMK6TV_EMpjib-50yzqm/s2985/02%2025%2023%20red%20mono%20sm.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2985" data-original-width="2332" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Vdrw104bHsLj6uDyPqTTQ7ot-8f9S6w970OrgZMnpm5fnalo3ZHWbDDMqYJzcuew_V8h7lgUpc2o7TCqJoky_7uamHPrqIgenI8jggawgplEqleVUvR7L3OUdYJzlxj6F5mLfjhy3UL3ldz-PLlKvonqc2t-SvcTSm_9LMK6TV_EMpjib-50yzqm/w500-h640/02%2025%2023%20red%20mono%20sm.JPG" width="500" /></a></span></b></div><b><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiATZgaHoLci9d_ooKQrcqeRCNFV-SjjlAdmM3az3ScBEPRse52F1cmyZyAzYd-8fhXw_6DJdMhoJ5gq1Sr6KUdTJiXQfnv2x3mg-vX5faz1fvZOUYRImsd5NnCTgSA4IVfQuvEYM4avSU0vS3MEd0XwQBYGOqwXZ4oGS2sBhRSuuDvhE9mVHuiUvww/s1282/02%2025%2023%20red%20mono%20sm%203.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1282" data-original-width="1192" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiATZgaHoLci9d_ooKQrcqeRCNFV-SjjlAdmM3az3ScBEPRse52F1cmyZyAzYd-8fhXw_6DJdMhoJ5gq1Sr6KUdTJiXQfnv2x3mg-vX5faz1fvZOUYRImsd5NnCTgSA4IVfQuvEYM4avSU0vS3MEd0XwQBYGOqwXZ4oGS2sBhRSuuDvhE9mVHuiUvww/w596-h640/02%2025%2023%20red%20mono%20sm%203.JPG" width="596" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvuLCx9qRu-kdAu60JR52qm_w6-pYRvMmJw5Y4DwPo38mfJQph_Y-kilk2HZccU9cs1smg2XSqdu0zCT9e03ewlovfzRqGOy9Nj_fuLVcn47UtHMI03XKCu5dQwtCfRXthewmekyY5fQ8IpW61TYOInIO3MMLzX4AoCo9oLBiTq-yqFPOAsUNyn1gQ/s1247/02%2025%2023%20red%20mono%20sm%20cropped.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1217" data-original-width="1247" height="624" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvuLCx9qRu-kdAu60JR52qm_w6-pYRvMmJw5Y4DwPo38mfJQph_Y-kilk2HZccU9cs1smg2XSqdu0zCT9e03ewlovfzRqGOy9Nj_fuLVcn47UtHMI03XKCu5dQwtCfRXthewmekyY5fQ8IpW61TYOInIO3MMLzX4AoCo9oLBiTq-yqFPOAsUNyn1gQ/w640-h624/02%2025%2023%20red%20mono%20sm%20cropped.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-size: 17px;">It is time for my ticket to the <a href="https://alteredbooklover.blogspot.com/2023/02/t-stands-for-st-patricks-day.html" target="_blank">TSFT</a> over at Bleubeard & Elizabeth's at Altered Book Lover.
