<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 13.5pt;">Do you ever wonder what
you were put on this earth to do? Wonder what your calling is? Lately, I've
been doing a lot of soul searching to answer this tough question for myself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLOHOtvySDYUkFbEioHB0IQI_SvoBcNeaLl4RS2W64Pd6Vpl6aNSfy51AvAK9nLxMnX7pn6fCbZcgkccWeHQALdPm51LIliQC3sExCLbgY2hgdBLoKz3i7XZAkC-iLjQ4fM4yojna3k_Q/s1600/120206+Three+Squirrels+a+Bathing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLOHOtvySDYUkFbEioHB0IQI_SvoBcNeaLl4RS2W64Pd6Vpl6aNSfy51AvAK9nLxMnX7pn6fCbZcgkccWeHQALdPm51LIliQC3sExCLbgY2hgdBLoKz3i7XZAkC-iLjQ4fM4yojna3k_Q/s400/120206+Three+Squirrels+a+Bathing.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 13.5pt;">What really matters to
me? As long as I can remember, I've always cared about animals. When I was a
little girl I brought home every stray or injured critter I came into contact
with, even to my parents' aggravation. As I grew older and learned of environmental
issues, I constantly felt the need to step in and do my part there as well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 13.5pt;">Another passion of mine,
one that also dates back to childhood, is crafting. I love the process of working
with my hands to create something beautiful. I used to make greeting cards for
Christmas when I was a girl using construction paper and whatever little odds
and ends I could find around the house. When I was in my twenties I took up
cross stitching and in my 40’s I learned how to crochet. It’s no wonder that
after I gave birth to my son Christopher in my 30’s that I discovered
scrapbooking and never looked back! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 13.5pt;">About six years ago I
started my first two design team positions in the paper crafting industry with
Bella Blvd. and Doodlebug Design. I had been scrapbooking and making cards for
many years at this time and wanted to submit my work for publishing and pursue
a job in the business. I thought it would be a dream come true to get paid for
doing something I love. In time paid positions came along and eventually my job
with Fun Stampers Journey. It was <i>so</i>
exciting to be offered employment with a fast growing company that allowed me
to work from home!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Simultaneously, along my
journey to find work within the paper crafting community, I grew more concerned
about environmental issues. I realized my family and I needed to do more than
recycle, switch to energy efficient light bulbs and bring reusable bags to the grocery
store to affect real change. </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">So, we simplified our lives; we reduced, reused and recycled. We
went from putting our trash can on the curb for weekly pickup to once every
other year and we are constantly striving to live more sustainably. Just last
October we adopted a vegan lifestyle to help end the suffering of billions of
animals and the huge impact that factory farming has on our planet.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 13.5pt;">More recently, I’ve been
experiencing an inner conflict between my love of paper crafting and the
environmental impact it has. The bottom line is that my support and
participation in this business doesn’t coexist with my belief that I (we) must
use fewer resources. Our planet doesn’t contain an endless supply to continuously
manufacture new product and supplies at the current rate.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 13.5pt;">So I’ve had to make a <i>very</i> difficult decision to step back
from this part of my life, from this blog, from the paper crafting industry. I
will always create, but I can do it with less; less paper, less rubber stamps
and fewer dies, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 13.5pt;">I can’t begin to tell
you how much I’ve <i>loved</i> working in
this business and how much I will miss it! I’ve met so many wonderful people
and have gotten to travel and participate in work and events that I never had
before. I’ve gotten to see my work in print and help inspire people to express
their creativity. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 13.5pt;">Starting now I will wake
up each morning and ask myself how I can make a bigger difference in the world?
I don’t know yet what that will look like, which is scary and exciting all at
the same time, but I plan to start a new blog to help bring awareness to these issues.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 13.5pt;">When my new blog is up and
running I will let you know the address. I invite all of you to follow me on this
new journey and hope that some of you will feel inspired to make a difference with
me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

Hello! I have another water color pencil practice card to share with you today that includes heat embossing. As I mentioned yesterday, Fun Stampers Journey is releasing a set of watercolor pencils with the new 2016-2017 catalog and I've been spending time this week getting better acquainted with this medium. </div>

For the sun I stamped this lovely new Stained Glass sun image with Journey Gold embossing powder before coloring and fussy cutting it. My technique for painting was to add a few drops of water to one of our clear blocks and rub my pencil in the water before using a small blending brushes to paint the image. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The background was done the same way except that I dried it with a heat gun when finished. For the speckled bits of embossing, I spritzed the paper with water from a fine mist sprayer and then applied the embossing powder which only stuck to the fine drops of water. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the results. I think this technique would work great with so many themes...a midnight sky or maybe an under the ocean look. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tip: When I was done painting and embossing my background the paper was rather warped! To straighten it back out I misted the back with a little water and then let it dry under one of our acrylic blocks. Worked perfectly! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well...time to play some more. It's fun to experiment and see what happens! </div>

Hello! Did you hear that the new 2016-2017 Fun Stampers Journey catalog includes colored pencils, watercolor pencils and Panpastels? So exciting! I have very little experience with pencils and never even heard of Panpastels until recently! And I can't wait until they arrive in my studio so I can play, learn and share my projects and experiences with you! </div>

This week I decided to sit down with an old set of colored pencils I have and practice a little before my FSJ sets arrive!</div>

I'm always humbled when I work with new mediums! It's not easy to go from one that I've worked with a lot and have success with to learning all over again! I'm remember last year when the new Fusion Blender solution and re-inker system debuted and my first attempt to use them was so intimidating! I smeared things, colored outside the lines, etc. My work looked like a Kindergartner did it! lol </div>

Today's card turned out okay. I have so much to learn. For instance, I think my flower would have turned out prettier had I used a blending tool. And no matter what medium I'm working with I'm always learning about shading, etc! </div>

So...an appropriate sentiment for this card is that "imperfection is beautiful!" It's what I tell my son when he tries things for the first time and wonders why his dad or I can do it better. I tell to practice, practice, practice. Everything that's done well takes lots of patience and practice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this card I embossed the image, colored it with pencils and sponged a little Whip Cream ink around the edges.</div>

Hi! Today I have a card to share with you created with one of the brand new Fun Stampers Journey lines that debuted at the 2016 convention just last week. It's called Celebrate You which was also the theme for this year's convention. </div>

Did you attend? I was supposed to but got sick at the last minute, as I mentioned in Monday's post. So...like many of you, I've had to rely on social media for all the highlights and what a party they had!!! And how about the new catalog? </div>

I made this card for you using some new goodies...blended with some of last year's Journey Media paints. I simply dabbed a bit of paint on a finger and wiped it across some card stock before stamping it with the sentiment.</div>

I used the variety of foliage stamps included in the Lead Me and Bird Sketch stamp sets and one tiny little log stamp from a brand new set that just debuted at the Fun Stampers Journey 2016 convention. Do you know which set it's from? Do you have a catalog yet? </div>

Hello! I had one of those mornings where I couldn't find my creative mojo. That happens sometimes when I've been away from my studio for too many days which has been the case. I was supposed to be in Arizona this past week for the Fun Stampers Journey (FSJ) 2016 convention, but I came down with the flu instead! Ack! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What do you think? I think I like the softness of the inspiration piece better. And I really enjoyed just playing around with our inks and sponges to see what I could come up with! It's good to be back getting my fingers all inked up again! </div>

To make these layers really stand out I used foam squares to adhere them to my card base. I love the dimension it creates and that you can see some of the gingham print through the butterfly 'window.'</div>

I created this greeting with the Fun Stampers Journey Brave America stamp set. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Techniques include embossing, ink sponging and layering. Notice I was able to add a bit of white ink to the Metal Accents, toning the shine down, giving them a grungy look like the rest of the card. </div>
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After I sponged and embossed my card background I also spritzed it with some Journey Silver Splash which gives it lovely sparkles that I really like. </div>

To create this stripy background I used some patterned paper from the Nautical Adventure Prints, cut into stripes, folded in half lengthwise and added the card base by applying glue just along the fold. I love the texture it creates along with the twine and wood accent. Hope you enjoy! </div>

I love this planet of ours, full of amazing creatures and exotic places. And I love how one doesn't have to search far and wide to find nature's beauty. If you look, it's right under your nose. Or at the front door! </div>

For a second time this spring we have a pair of house finches nesting right outside our front door in the light fixtures. And it's wonderful to take a few moments throughout the day to watch this new mama coming and going with food for her little ones! </div>

This particular seahorse is from the Fun Stampers Journey Beach Soiree stamp set. Such an easy card to create...just color and die cut the seahorse and add it to a card base that's been sponged with some Whip Cream ink, splattered with a bit of Silk and stamped with a sentiment. Finally, add a few sequins and a bit of Thread and you're done! Now time for a little vitamin - Nature! </div>

The above photo was taken from one of my studio windows. Every day when I look outside any one of the windows at our house I see tress! Lots of them with branches hanging in all directions with so many leaf shapes in an array of greens. It's so lovely and I feel so fortunate to call this place home. </div>

Hi! I'm buzzing by today to share another outdoorsy card with you using the bee stamps from the Fun Stampers Journey Summer Garden stamp set. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For my sentiment I thought it would be fun to combine a letter die from the Marquee Alphabet set with a word from the Today Is set. Makes for a unique greeting, don't you think? </div>

If you look carefully at these bees you will notice that the wings have been colored in the lightest gray and then outlined in a very pale blue. To create these subtle colors I simple used several drops of Fusion Blender, bringing in just a touch of color. </div>

I love the beach ball and pinwheel images in this set...perfect for so many crafty projects! For this card I kept things clean and simple by coloring in the two images, layering them on a bright white cloud and sponging on a little Lovely blue on the card base to make the cloud pop. Final steps include the sentiment, a little Thread and a strip of patterned paper down the side and ta-da! </div>

Keeping the accents and sentiment simple is best when using this technique so that you don't cover up too much of your fun and colorful background. And using vellum helps with this too since you can see through it. </div>

It's a beautiful day to have a beautiful day! This time of year I can't get enough of the great outdoors! </div>

This card is an example of making time to craft and spend outside. It took only about 15 minutes to create using some a few simple shortcut tricks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First you'll need a design or sketch. You can find endless ideas on Pinterest, Instagram or your favorite blog sites. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once you have a design in mind, using patterned paper gives you a ready-made color palette. Another big time saver is to sponge stamped images with a bit of color instead of carefully coloring them in. </div>

A couple basic go to accents are all you need to finish a project. For this card a little Whip Cream Journey Twine and a few sequins was all that was needed to add texture and interest. </div>

Hi! Hope you all had a lovely Mother's Day! My favorite mother to celebrate with is Mother Nature so my boys and I went for a hike at Durrant Park and lake on Saturday. It was a glorious day and memorable time with a wonderfully delicious and healthy picnic lunch! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also, in honor of Mother's Day and Mother Nature, I created this card with lots of beautiful leaves and flowers from Fun Stampers Journey Lead Me stamp set. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To add color, I used one of the Brush Strokes stamps and five of FSJ's vibrant stamp colors. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirtuUjN7wuLsnVEj_IXFWc2aEl3UrbEkJli9Zcn6ePteopfdYJKHhNpC6zIJzI3KvKR7nKEQ0Toesl4676OTal9bS7JzGew_-rQkYqrXzC4LbATUAFCM_9AxGyILwHubRKrPtEMyjAwkw/s1600/160509-I-Love-You.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirtuUjN7wuLsnVEj_IXFWc2aEl3UrbEkJli9Zcn6ePteopfdYJKHhNpC6zIJzI3KvKR7nKEQ0Toesl4676OTal9bS7JzGew_-rQkYqrXzC4LbATUAFCM_9AxGyILwHubRKrPtEMyjAwkw/s400/160509-I-Love-You.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that I didn't cover up any of these beautiful stamped images, I used a tiny sentiment from the Text Happy set along with the Tag This tiny tag to add my greeting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you enjoy this card and I hope you enjoyed a wonderful Mother's Day! </div>

And just in time for creating my scrapbook memories of our vacation, Fun Stampers Journey came out with the Summer Fun stamp set with lots of cool beach images! Which is also perfect for making playful summertime cards like this one. </div>

I love this little sand castle that I used to create the background and focal point for my card. I don't think we've ever been to the beach and not made a castle or two! </div>

I used all the images to create this colorful card...except the little streamers stamp. Darn! I should have included that too because it would have added more fun to this little fiesta greeting! </div>

It's exciting to see so many Fun Stampers Journey projects on Facebook and Pinterest using the new stamps and goodies from the new summer mini catalog! </div>

Want to know what my favorite stamp set in the catalog is? Too Cool! I love these juicy pops! They're so much fun to color and create with! </div>
<br />

To make my pops appear a little more juicy, I stamped the background with the Ink Splat stamp...just enough to show a few drops. </div>

The sentiment was stamped on vellum and embossed. I love using the Doily die with any food item because it reminds me of sweet treats at a fancy restaurants or bakery. </div>
