Mixed Media Blog Hop


Welcome ladies to the Mixed Media Blog Hop hosted by Monica at Scraps to Treasure. She is the first stop and I am the second so you should be coming here straight from Monica.

This hop will not have a long list because it involves a little more work and it is going to broaden everyone's creative by introducing everyone to the world of mixed media along with altered which of course everyone is familiar with.
For those who may not know what it is: Mixed media uses things like -
•Paints
•Gesso
•Gel Mediums
•Molding Paste

But it is a simple as using glimmer mist on a tag or using game pieces and alcohol inks.Everyones take on it is different and I hope you enjoy all the creations and GOOD LUCK to the winner!! Be sure to become a follower on each blog and leave a comment to be eligible for the GRAND PRIZE which is pictured/listed below.

These are the products I used: 



























Here are a couple links of more mixed media items I have created recently...

Freebies!

Guess what....

I have a free file for you and you are going to love it!

I used to be so scared of digital scrapbooking but now I love it and wish I could sit in front of the computer all the time. I love the idea of printing out my digital layouts and then adding embellishments to them. I also love the fact that I can now make my own blog hop buttons and invitations and anything I want without limitations.

If your interested feel free to use my code at the top and get the money off and the free money after purchase. If you have any questions please email me at alina.luis@live.com and I will be more than happy to help!

Freebie:

Hugs,

Based on a book blog hop

Scroll down for the Fabulous 50 blog hop...



You should be here from my crafty friend Anita over at http://www.anitaandbugs.blogspot.com but if not please head over to Tanya - http://little-scrapper.blogspot.com to start over and you will be so happy you didn't  miss anythin!!!!

Okay so for this hop I wanted to use my favorite books and make a box and album on all four books but I just didn't have all the time today so I was only able to finish this box before I stared cooking.

This is the top of the box and just the beginning...
 
These letters I got from the DCWV embellishment box and even though they were very glittered in red I had to use the silver glitter paint to give it the Cullen sparkle




I love how the box looks like its leather
really I just applied black Gesso and used wild strokes of bright red paint repeatedly but you can still see the grain....so cool

Doesn't this look so cool!!!!
The flowers are flowers that I have from my own stash

I painted the flowers with silver glitter paint
I am not done yet but the inside is going to have both worlds decorated within and the album is going to be loaded with my favorite quotes and photos.

I hope you like it!! I will be posting a youtube video when I am all done with the inside and the album.

Don't forget to leave comments so you can be eligible for the candy.

Fabulous 50 day 3


Welcome to day 3 of DDscrafts Fabulous 50

This hop starts with Deb at DDscrafts and you should have found me from Tanner - http://www.mrcricutcrazy.com/ but if not please head on to Deb and start there. Remember to comment on each post.

On to my project:

I used my sentimentals cartridge for the card. I cut the light blue and the envelope at 4.25 and the second layer of the card was just at 4 so that I can layer it. I have to admit that at first all I knew was that I have only used this cartridge once and I was determined to use it again. I hope you like it!
I used the same cartridge for the layered butterfly and in the upper right corner is a PinkByDesign Happy Birthday stamp
I cut the smaller card at the score marks for the inside of the card. I used the Happy Birthday stamp from PBD as well.

Next stop is my ubberly talented friend Gloria:  http://gloriasgoofycraftspot.blogspot.com/

Love Bugs Banners for Kids

Welcome to the “Love Bugs Banners for Kids” Hop.

Forty very talented crafty people have come together for a two day hop (Friday, January 6th and Saturday, January 7th) to showcase handmade banners that will be donated to the children at Pediatric Specialty Care. The hope of these banners is that they bring smiles to these children's faces and awareness of Pediatric Specialty Care to all those that hop along.

The “Love Bugs Banner for Kids” Hop has some awesome sponsors and prizes to give away to all those that hop along and leave comments. The more blogs you visit and leave comments at, the more chances you have of winning. That means if you hop through all 20 blogs each day and leave a comment on each blog then you are in the drawing 40 times!

Our Generous Sponsors are:

Jellypark Digital Stamps will award 2 free digi-images to one winner.

K Andrews Designs has donated a stamp set to one winner.

Robyn's Fetish will donate FIVE digital images of the winner's choice as a prize!

If you have come from Beckie then you are on the right track but if you have come here by chance – great! but please start from the beginning at Ellen ♥ CardMonkey and continue through from there.

I made two banners this time around using my Cricuts and a few different cartridges. If you want specifics I can get that to you.
