Wild Whisper Guest Designer: Not Your Ordinary Valentines Day Card

Happy Tuesday!
I am absolutely thrilled to be a guest designer on the
  Wild Whisper Designs blog today.

For those of you who haven't heard of Wild Whisper, they are a Canadian manufacturer
of 12x12 paper collections & 3x4 and 4x6 card packs. They also carry a lovely collection of boutique embellishments that include cork, chipboard, charms, embossing powder, wood veneers & sequins.
For my guest design project, I created a pop-up slider card using the Adventure paper collection, card pack & cork hearts .


To see more details, photos and a list of the products I used to make this card,

Wanderlust 2017 - Week3

Greetings, crafty people!
Wow! Week 3 of Wanderlust 2017 really pushed me out of my comfort zone.
Like waaaaaaaay outside of my comfort zone.

Wilna Furstenberg was the teacher for Week 3 class & her art
journaling style is so amazing!


I don't freehand sketch. I like to stamp images and colour them in.
It's what I'm comfortable doing but I am committed to my statement
of Being Fearless when it comes to art journaling.


So I took a deep breath and put brush to paper. Overall I was quite pleased 
with how this turned out. In fact I was kind of surprised at how much I loved it.

Art Journal Page for Bell Lets Talk Day.

Hi everyone!
I'm here to share a very personal art journal layout.
Today is Bell Let's Talk Day in Canada & I felt I needed to
join the conversation to help end the stigma about mental health.


I've been diagnosed & treated for depression & anxiety.
Mental illness is a part of who I am but it doesn't define me.

It can make my life messy & weird and sometimes & I am paralyzed
 by fear, self-doubt & sadness.

The darkness can be consuming and over-whelming.

I am more than my darkness.


I am so much more......

If you are in crisis please call a friend, go to your local hospital or call 911.
