<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to be honest I really love how the background turned out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it adds interest to the card & compliments</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the main focal image.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be on the lookout for more card backgrounds using my</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Distress Oxide</i></b> inks.</div>

my collection.</div>

<b><i>Welcome to my blog!</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi everyone it's<b><i> Elina</i></b> here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you are enjoying your evening.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today marks the <b><i>finale </i></b>of my <b><i>Fall/Autumn 2018</i></b> series.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The project featured is a deeply personal one for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started this series to highlight the season.<br />
This time around I decided to use this series to pay tribute to<br />
the special people in our lives.<br />
So my last project featured a tree to represent family.<br />
This time of year we give thanks for our family.<br />
We remember those who have passed, celebrate the newest members<br />
& embrace friends who make life worth living.<br />
<br />
But what I've noticed is that we often forget the most<br />
important person of all: <b><i>Ourselves</i></b>.<br />
It was with this idea in mind that I decided to<br />
draw a portrait of myself.<br />
This was not an easy one for me to do<br />
let me tell you.<br />
Just trying to capture my appearance as a drawing was horrifying.<br />
To keep things simple I tried to capture the most<br />
distinguishing characteristics that make me me.<br />
<br />
My glasses was an easy one to draw as well as my<br />
usual updo.<br />
Where it becomes difficult is trying to translate the look<br />
to reflect the season.<br />
So I opted to draw myself as slowly dissolving into a pile of leaves.<br />
A little trippy but it captures the fall theme.<br />
<br />
For the coloring I tried my best to match the tone of my skin,<br />
hair, eyes & glasses.<br />
But then I chose to fade out the coloring on one side of my face<br />
to create the illusion of dissolving away.<br />
That part of the coloring was the trickiest.<br />
I feel that I could have achieved that look if<br />
I would have tried some different techniques but<br />
it is what it is.<br />
<br />
You can check out the pic below:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/--BUfWOoYWRo/W_IGYek8qQI/AAAAAAAARGY/aRK3PSRM9-EJOM3HAwakBrGy8CGfUrm9QCLcBGAs/s1600/20181114_171153.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1343" data-original-width="1303" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/--BUfWOoYWRo/W_IGYek8qQI/AAAAAAAARGY/aRK3PSRM9-EJOM3HAwakBrGy8CGfUrm9QCLcBGAs/s400/20181114_171153.jpg" width="387" /></a></div>
<br />
You can check out the coloring tutorial below to see how this came together:<br />

<br />
It's taken me a long time to try to accept the person that I am.<br />
And for me it's still a work in progress.<br />
I have my good days & my bad days.<br />
My days filled with regret & my days filled with joy.<br />
But I try to take everything day by day.<br />
I still judge myself pretty harshly but I'm<br />
slowly learning how to lower that negative part of<br />
myself that says, <b><i>"You can't..."</i></b><br />
<br />
<b><i>My hope is to be able to love myself flaws and all</i></b><br />
<b><i>& just be happy.</i></b><br />
<br />
I hope you enjoyed this project & thanks for stopping by.<br />
<br />
Hugs,<br />

Hi everyone & welcome to my blog!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's Elina here & thank you for joining me today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you are enjoying your Saturday evening.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's hard to believe that in the next 6 days we will be </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
kicking off the start of the holiday season.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Say whattttt?!!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Honestly I haven't even begun my holiday card making.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always say I'm going to start off early, get it out of the way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I get caught up with doing day to day things and next thing </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you know the holidays are peeking around.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dang it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can tell you that it will be a mad dash to get them done in time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully they will get mailed out too because I had one </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
year where I made cards & forgot to mail them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So it was Merry Christmas to you in February. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways, so yeah, the holidays.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm trying not to overwhelm myself too much this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I will work on what I can when I can.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And that has been my mantra for this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So that's pretty much it for this post.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just a brief rant on what I would like to accomplish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you enjoy the rest of your evening.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hugs</div>

Welcome to my blog, it's <b><i>Elina</i></b> here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you are enjoying your extended weekend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's post features the second installment in my</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Fall/Autumn 2018</i></b> series.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you missed the video premiere last night,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you can click the link below...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FFDj0mH-OjY/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FFDj0mH-OjY?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm pleased with how the final card turned out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
During the filming, I encountered a few issues & was pretty close </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to scrapping the whole video.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My spray ink was clogged.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love using my spray inks for various projects</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but it drives me nuts when they clog constantly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So once I cleared the nozzle & began</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
spraying it sputtered & left blotchy patches.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My spray bottle filled with water was the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
saving grace this card needed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not to mention, it got all over my desk top</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which had to be cleaned. Ugh.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I did enjoy using the <b><i>Ken Oliver Color Burst</i></b> powder.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know that there are those of you out there</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
like really his stuff is amazing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I will totally agree with you on that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought it was cool that after it's been dry</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you can still spray it with water to soften the look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cool!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enough rambling & ranting let's get back to the card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a close pic for you to check out:</div>

Hi everyone, it's <b><i>Elina </i></b>here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Sunday & welcome to my blog!<br />
Today marks the start of my<b><i> Thankful 2018</i></b> series.<br />
I have been doing this series for the past two years.<br />
I think it's a great way to celebrate the season &<br />
remember the things we are grateful for.<br />
<br />
To start this series off I decided to use an original<br />
character I drew.<br />
It's a cute little llama who is thankful for<br />
the cup of coffee she's about to enjoy.<br />
Let's be honest, we have to be thankful for<br />
the things in our life that help us get through.<br />
For me, Coffee is that beverage I am most thankful for.<br />
<br />
You can check out the coloring tutorial below...<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Mmm.. I can just smell the coffee goodness.<br />
<br />
Here's a close up pic...<br />

<br />
I kept the card design pretty simple to showcase the main image.<br />
I will probably use this image again for my Holiday 2018 series.<br />
<br />
The measurements for the card are as follows:<br />
Image panel- <b><i>4 1/2" x 6 1/2"</i></b><br />
Brown card layer- <b><i>4 3/4" x 6 3/4"</i></b><br />
Black card base-<b><i> 5" x 7</i></b>"<br />
<br />
I did add <b><i>Wink Of Stella </i></b>to the glasses, nose & eyes.<br />
I like the sparkle it gives to the finished image.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoyed this post & video.<br />
Thanks for stopping by & enjoy the rest of your Sunday!<br />
<br />
Hugs,<br />

Hi everyone & welcome to my blog!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's <b>Elina</b> here & I hope you are enjoying your Sunday morning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today marks the fourth installment of my Halloween 2018 series.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I enjoy creating & coloring spooky images for Halloween.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel it's a great way to stretch your creative muscles</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& re-use your stamps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So for this post I colored a trio of witches (sisters to be exact).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If your a fan of this iconic movie you know which</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sisters I am referring to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And for those who are aren't sure I'll tell.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's the <b>SANDERSON SISTERS</b> from the movie <b>Hocus Pocus</b>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was super psyched to get a chance to do this tutorial.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hocus Pocus is by far my favorite Halloween movie!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember going to the theaters with my family to see it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Sanderson sisters are a funny bunch & there are so many </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
iconic lines.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a Halloween must see at my home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can check out the video below to see how I brought these sisters to life:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love how this turned out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now it took my ages to draw these ladies & it got </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
pretty frustrating.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I found an image online I could draw & it made so much easier.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So unlike my original drawings or stamp re-dos,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this image comes courtesy of <b>Cartoon Cookie</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can find her here at: <a href="http://cartooncookie.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">cartooncookie.tumblr.com</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did change up the way they looked a bit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made Winnie's face more slender & gave Sarah a different outfit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a close up pic you can check out:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Why was I cursed with such idiot sisters?'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh Winnie, we know she doesn't actually mean it </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
cause we know she loves her sisters deep down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hi everyone it's<i> <b>Elina</b></i> here & welcome to the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
third installment in my Halloween 2018 series!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This time I used a stamp from<i> <b>Stamp Anniething</b></i> & </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
gave it a "<b><i>creepy</i></b>" makeover.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to say I love challenging myself to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
stretch my stamps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a great way to to get the most use out of the stamps</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you own.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although it is very tempting going in to the local craft store</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& seeing the latest stamp offerings.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But if your on a budget, getting the most use out of what </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you have can save you money.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So with that in mind, check out the video below to see </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
how I transformed the "<b><i>Lorelei</i></b>" stamp into a <b><i>"creepy</i></b>" doll.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9KkBDF-dz90/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9KkBDF-dz90?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really like how this transformation turned out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I must confess that I enjoy drawing creepy stuff but </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am the biggest chicken ever.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You won't catch me in a haunted house. No way!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But safely drawing creepy things from the safety of home </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is just fine with me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a pic for you to check out:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love how the<b><i> Black Soot Distress Ink</i></b> gives this image </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a look straight from a horror movie.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nothing scarier than a creepy bear & an </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
old rocking chair.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Makes you wonder what does she have in the box.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On second thought maybe not knowing is best.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you enjoyed this post & video.</div>

Hey everyone it's Elina here & happy Friday to all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope your day is off to a great start.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Welcome to the second week in my Halloween 2018 series.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I take an ordinary chipboard coffin from Michael's</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and transform it into an elegant marble coffin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check out the process video below to learn more...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nuOpZiUapZI/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nuOpZiUapZI?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The secret to this transformation is the black gesso.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can find black gesso in any craft store.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I purchased mine from Hobby Lobby.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just like with white gesso, the black gesso gives the surface</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a great starter base.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can then follow it up by layering & adding color using </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
paints, inks, sprays, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To give the coffin the look of marble, I start off using </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a combo of silver & grey paint.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I apply it using my stencil brush, adding color and removing it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
using a paper towel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I continue adding & removing the color till I get</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the desired effect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a pic you can check out:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eeBJdlBAyYg/W7_s74VNYaI/AAAAAAAARB0/_bGIxiW7hScRRtfGzUNDLH8hJBMxKehsACLcBGAs/s1600/vid%2Bthumbnail%2B%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="709" data-original-width="465" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eeBJdlBAyYg/W7_s74VNYaI/AAAAAAAARB0/_bGIxiW7hScRRtfGzUNDLH8hJBMxKehsACLcBGAs/s400/vid%2Bthumbnail%2B%25282%2529.jpg" width="261" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To decorate, I add a cameo, rose beads & die cuts</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to give an elegant look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finish it off by adding scraps of black lace to the interior </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of the lid.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I can use the coffin to decorate my entryway</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or as a cool treat box.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm pleased with how this project turned.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I might have to go back to Michael's to pick up a few more. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you so much for stopping by!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you all have a great weekend!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hi everyone! It's Elina here! I know what you are thinking, "Man where have you been?" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been a long, hard road for me to get to this point.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I came to a realization where I needed a hiatus from everything.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had given up on doing what I loved: blogging & my channel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was getting frustrating keeping up with the schedule I set for myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was disappointed in myself and disappointed in the goals that I hadn't reached.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My mental and physical health was taking a beating.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I made the decision to just step back and focus on what was important.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I got back into yoga, started eating a little better, and spent more time for family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I have to say it has helped me a bit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I try to focus on taking things day by day and enjoying life more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's not an easy process and I do have my bad days but my family's support </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
helps get through those rough patches.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will ask you to bear with me as I ease back into blogging and videos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm happy to posting and sharing again to be sure.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I am a little rusty.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For my videos I upgraded to Adobe Premiere Pro and my skills with that</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is still a work in progress.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
See the video below to see what I mean. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will try to post regularly and there will be more videos to come.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will say that I appreciate you all for your patience and continued support.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now without further ado please enjoy the video below<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a great weekend and I will post again soon.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Isn't this monster adorable?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The color scheme works well with this image.</div>

This card would work for a boy or a girl.</div>

I thought it would be a cool idea</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to have him balance a huge cupcake on his head.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I pulled out my "<b><i><span style="color: blue;">Cupcake</span></i></b>" stamp from<b><i><span style="color: blue;"> Two Paper Divas.</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And voila!</div>

Hi everyone it's <b><i><span style="color: blue;">Elina </span></i></b>here & welcome to my blog!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope your weekend is off to a great start!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For today's post I have a birthday card to share</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
using an image from <b><i><span style="color: blue;">La La Land Crafts</span></i></b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This "<b><i><span style="color: blue;">Heart Cupcake Marci</span></i></b>" digi was a freebie</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from their <b><i><span style="color: blue;">Facebook</span></i></b> page.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can head to their online shop if</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you would like to purchase it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was my first attempt at coloring this image</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
using both my alcohol markers & Prismacolor pencils.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: blue;"><b>Check out the full video below>>></b></span></i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm pretty pleased with how this card turned out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Loving the soft color scheme: <b><i><span style="color: blue;">pink, teal & grey.</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></i></b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
For the embellishments I used some <b><i><span style="color: blue;">Glitter Hole Reinforcers</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from <b><i><span style="color: blue;">Heidi Swapp</span>.</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The match the card perfectly & are a cool alternative </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to traditional embellies.</div>

<div align="center">
For today's post, I created a few handdrawn cards perfect</div>
<div align="center">
for <i><b><span style="color: blue;">Valentine's</span></b></i> day.</div>
<div align="center">
I kept the drawing style pretty simple &</div>
<div align="center">
but you can recreate these cards using similar</div>
<div align="center">
stamp sets.</div>
<div align="center">
For the sentiments, I found a font style I liked &</div>
<div align="center">
replicated it on the cards.</div>

Hey everyone it's <b><i><span style="color: blue;">Elina </span></i></b>here & welcome to my blog!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope your Sunday is off to good start!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's post features a project I created using </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
an original image handdrawn by me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My husband purchased a few memo boards </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from <b><i><span style="color: blue;">Hobby Lobby</span></i></b> that were on clearance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The cool thing is the cork board sits in</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a triangular frame.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were pretty plain looking so </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I grabbed one for myself to re-do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Click on the video below for more details...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm pleased with how it turned out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I can keep track of future video ideas, cards I </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
want to work on or new techniques I want try.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can jot them down and pin it to the board.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OGp5J6zNN68/WncKfptPSoI/AAAAAAAAQt8/T3JNTOZ5CIUj2N9iICm4VU1i_5fhX-cJACLcBGAs/s1600/memo%2Bboard%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1026" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OGp5J6zNN68/WncKfptPSoI/AAAAAAAAQt8/T3JNTOZ5CIUj2N9iICm4VU1i_5fhX-cJACLcBGAs/s400/memo%2Bboard%2B2.jpg" width="256" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love how the image turned out as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I purchased a set of <b><i><span style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: blue;">Prismacolors</span></i></b> from <b><i><span style="color: blue;">A.C. Moore</span></i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and have been experimenting with them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Currently I use them to enhance the coloring of images.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am still working on using them alone </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but with all things it takes some practice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As for the image, I have also been working on my drawing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and this is one of the first images I drew.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love her expression and she looks to me like she's forgotten something.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So for now I'm calling her "<b><i><span style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: blue;">Oops I Forgot"</span></i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Chibi Girl.</div>

Hey everyone it's <b><i>Elina </i></b>here & welcome to my blog!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope your Tuesday is off to a good start!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's post features a <b><i>Valentine's Day</i></b> card I made</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
using a stencil & <b><i><span style="color: blue;">Distress Oxides.</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's funny that I have more<b><i> <span style="color: blue;">Distress Oxides</span> </i></b>than <b><i><span style="color: blue;">Distress Inks</span>.</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At first I wasn't really sold on this product till</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tried it out for myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm pleased with how easy they are to blend</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
plus the amount of coverage you get.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have made a list of the colors I need to get</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the next time I'm in<b><i><span style="color: blue;"> Hobby Lobby</span></i></b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I never tried the <b><i><span style="color: blue;">Oxide</span></i></b> ink with a stencil</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so this card is the first one I did.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I kept the card design simple.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love how striking the background is.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a great card to mass produce.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used <b><i><span style="color: blue;">"Picked Raspberry</span></i></b>" &<b><i><span style="color: blue;"> "Candied Apple</span></i></b>"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but you can switch up the colors.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I used my <b><i><span style="color: blue;">Gelly Roll</span></i></b> gel pen in <b><i><span style="color: blue;">White</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to mimic the look of the background on the wood veneer hearts.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
"<b><i>Katy-Without the Rain</i></b>" stamp set from</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Stamp Anniething.</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a wonderful image to color.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

If you follow my blog you know that the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"<b><i>grumpy</i></b>" kitty image is my favorite.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought he would be perfect on a</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i> Valentine's Day</i></b> card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who wouldn't want to see hat face on a card? </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love how this card turned out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
recreated using any stamp of your choice.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Look at the face.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It just screams <b><i>"Love Me"</i></b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now the question remains:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who does this<b><i> "Grumpy"</i></b> kitty love?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>His doting owner? The cat food company?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>His favorite toy? Or does he have a secret crush?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I guess we never will truly know.</div>

Hey everyone it's <b><i>Elina </i></b>here & happy <b><i>Friday</i></b> to all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's post features a project I created using the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Jane Davenport "4 Faces"</i></b> stamp set from <b><i>American Crafts.</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've had this set for a few months now</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& thought it was time to use it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a beautiful stamp set that you can </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
customize.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to use this set to create an </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
inspirational wall hanging for my craft room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Penny Black!<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey everyone it's <b><i>Elina</i></b> here & a happy Wednesday to all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know it's been forever since I lasted posted but I took</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
an unexpected hiatus.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started off my holiday season with a nasty cold.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My husband had the flu then my youngest got sick as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So we were sick right up until Christmas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not a great way to start the holidays plus I had to cut my </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Holiday 2017</i></b> series short.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I'm back, healthy and sharing my <b><i>first</i></b> video for <b><i>2018</i></b>!</div>

I used the <b><i>Penny Black "Muse" </i></b>cling mount stamp.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a gorgeous image & a great one to color as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can envision a ton of possibilities using this image for other projects.</div>

Hey everyone it's <b><i>Elina</i></b> here once again!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I forgot to post <b><i>Part Six</i></b> in my <b><i>Holiday 2017</i></b> series.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tuesday I celebrated my birthday and completely forgot </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to schedule the blog post in advance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well as the saying goes better late than never.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The card I'm sharing features a <b><i>Halloween</i></b> image I drew.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A color scheme change and a few lights and a Santa hat</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
gives this witch a festive makeover.</div>

Hey everyone it's<b><i> Elina</i></b> here and happy <b><i>Friday</i></b> to all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Welcome to <b><i>Part Seven</i></b> in my <b><i>Holiday 2017</i></b> series!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's post features the <b><i>"Melanie- You're Sassy</i></b>" stamp from</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Stamp Anniething.</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this set because it's versatile to use.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have turned her into a <b><i>unicorn, scarecrow</i></b>, & </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the <b><i>Wicked Witch.</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just by creating custom templates to change her appearance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So with my Holiday series in full swing, I thought I would </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
challenge myself to give her a festive makeover.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can check out the video below for more details:</div>

Hey everyone it's <b><i>Elina </i></b>here & happy <b><i>Friday</i></b> to all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope your day is off to a good start!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Welcome to <b><i>Part Five</i></b> in my <b><i>Holiday 2017 </i></b>series!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For today's project, I decided to give my alcohol markers a rest</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& focus on an easy Home Décor piece.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used cut aparts from a 12 x 12 Christmas paper pad &</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
some 5 x 7 frames to create festive signs for my home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can check out the video below...</div>
