GIU day 5

Today is my last day as a GIU gal and I'm so excited I got to share with you this week! Thank you all for the comments! I really do appreciate it! I wish I could post more than one project a day (like I planed) but I just ran out of time...a 6 yr old, 3 yr old and a 2 month old baby will do that to ya I guess :)

for my final card I created a background and did some paper punching and then made a...what is this called keyhole..whatever I did it was fun, and my little girl loves it...and that's who it was for...so I guess that's all that matters right?

Thanks again, I'll look over all the comments and put names in the random generator and get some winners selected and let you all know ASAP! 
much love
Kapree

GIU day 4

This is the journal cover I created that yesterday's project is in.
I stamped my unity stamps then just went crazy with inks and paints, then I couldn't think of how to attach this to my composition book...so in came staples to the rescue! I really like this quote on the front of my journal "forget all the reasons why it wont work, and believe in the one reason why it will." I have such a problem with my art and posting it in fear of being rejected but then I figure I wont grow if I don't try, and I do love sharing my work and I love creating things...just sitting down and creating without rules. I think that's what I'm going to fill this journal up with is just some crazy art work and just allot of fun! Do any of you journal?

GIU day 3

Today I have a journal page to share with you.
I did the background with acrylic paints, stamped some unity stamps in the background, got some big flower pics and my girl and a quote, I realized to late that I should have only done a one page spread and I didn't have enough for 2 pages, but hey I'm learning, I also think this page isn't done but I don't know what to add to it...any ideas?

GIU day 2

and if you were here yesterday you know how it works...so I'm just going to jump right in
this is a little junk journal that I made with some old junk mail, the cover is the only "new" paper I used...and I painted the background, then stamped my unity stamps and I only added a little color to my lil flower at the bottom with some fingernail polish (it I wanted a pastel color and somewhat of a transparency and there was nail polish in front of me so...why not?) I have wanted to make one of these kind of journals for a while now and I'm so glad I did, now I'm creating art and recycling at the same time!
have any of you made a junk journal? If so please leave a link I'd love to see...I'm new to junk journaling and love inspiration!

GIU day 1

I am so excited to be one of your GIU gals this week! I'll be featuring stamps from the Unity Stamp Company, so be sure to leave a comment and you will have a chance to win a grab bag of Unity Stamps.  I will randomly pick two winners from all the comments made during the week. 
So onto my first project for the week!
I have created this card for...well I don't know who it is for yet..just one of those cards to keep on hand just incase!
I stamped my unity images with stayzon ink and the did some water coloring...I wanted to try my hand at some clean and simple and I love how it turned out!

And that's all I have for you today, leave me some love for your chance to win...oh and by the way I will pick a winner kind of at random...it kinda bugs me when people just comment to win, I like sharing my art, and I like to know what people think. So please help me grow as an artiest and let me know what you think. 
Thanks!

Smeared Ink Reunion Blog Hop

I'm so excited to be a part of this blog hop, getting back together with old friends just like when I was pregnant the first time :) this is such an amazing group of artists and I'm not just saying that I really do love them, I have been inspired by them and they have been there for me for all my hard times! I got some amazing gifts for my first baby, some from across the pond (my kids have an aunt that is a dragon...you should be jealous) even just the hand made cards were enough to make me feel special and loved, and then not to mention these girls being there for me when my mother inlaw and best friend died, just wow I love these guys! but you probably aren't here to hear me reminisce about the good old days...so lets get on with the hop.

So like I said I'm pregnant again (32 weeks today) so I made some baby stuff...again :) 
So I used one of my all time favorite stamp sets Grumpies and lil grumpies and then me and my kid's favorite stamp Stumpy (I have a key-chain with this lil guy on it...my kids call it an owl) and I have made this little outfit for my new addition and then I made some shoes to match (the onsie/vest I purchased, the slippers/shoes I made) 

I just stamped him on there with some stayzon ink...I made some clothes the same way for my now 5yr old and they still look good so I know it works :)

I also was playing around and stamped on a bib with the candy is dandy set...can't read it very well but it says sweet nightmare...lol this I stamped with acrylic paint.


here are past things I made for my other babies (they are now 5 and 3!!!)


thanks for stopping by...have fun on the rest of the hop!
