This is my representation in Art form of The Olympics 2012, just had the need to create something like this. I've used my Art Journal cause I haven't been lately using it, but the good thing with this journal is that you are open to create whatever you like, however you like. So I don't forget such a Historic Event is part of my Art Journal now and I can't wait for the event to start at London, looking forward to watch all the sports that will be competing for Gold. I hope you like it :)

This is another O WH challenge fun and very simple. I 've used very bright colors to make this card and embellish with buttons nothing complicated. I would say that if you are in a rush and need a card really quick this will be a right sketch to use.

I just had the feel for doing a Halloween card, I've been wanting to do this for a while so I've decided to give it a shot. Of course I've try to use all the Halloween colors possible and was exited to use my Halloween Stamp Set form Tim Holtz that I have never used before. I have to say that this was very fun to do, and very easy specially again not having like beautiful Halloween paper I've seen other people use. I went with the basics and went for it :P This card will be for sale at my Etsy Store , I hope you like it :)

This is another challenge by The Altered Alice this time we had to create or altered something that meed to have the colors Red, White and Blue! Very nice colors for this month, cause of the past 4th of July...Of course at Wonderland we know those colors are for the  White Queen, the Red Queen, and Alice's blue dress! I did this beautiful Chipboard canvas to create this project, lots of different things like Tim Holtz Products and 7Gypsies. Overall I'm very content with the results and I hope you like it too :) 

Very tricky technique, Spritz and Flick Distress on page 42 found on Tim Holtz Compendium of Curiosities Volume 2 Book . You can actually get this book at his website . . Studio L3 is hosting is hosting this challenge, the winner will get a  $25 gift certificate from  Simon Says Stamp . If you would like to participate visit Studio L3. So I don't really know if I did this righ lol, but this is what I've created. I've use a Tag for this project and Distress Inks, Distress Stains and other products from Tim Holtz line. I've also used a fabulous image from freubels-freebies love it!!!

Even though we are still in July, OWH through a challenge to create a Christmas card. I don't have anything Christmas in my stash but I've  manage to create a beautiful card with very few things I had around. Enjoy!    

I've learn how to make paper Roses and Rosettas, I think this is very fun to do and I love Roses. So I really been watching videos on many different ways on how to this beautiful crafty flowers. Roses have always been my favorite flower and that is why I've change the name of my blog and other pages to TatteredRoses41, so having a name like that you have to know how to make a Rose haha....So I did and I'm still learning. I have put them for sale at my TatteredRoses41 Etsy Store and I will make more for sale so check them out....Love this Roses :)

Well I've really got into Mini Albums lately and love it, I've got  a dye from Sizzix that makes this type of mini cover or pages and is very fun. So the first thing I've though about to make was a nice mini to my Teenage son, I've created this mini album with lots of fun things that teenage now a days like and I wanted to share it with you. If you like to see how this mini was done please visit My Ustream Channel, luckily I've recorded all the process and is fun to watch as well as a final video on my YouTube Channel . Enjoy :)

Well this card was kind of interesting to do, Operation Write Home came up with this cute Expressive Owl Tutorial Card and it was very fun. I like Owls, I think they are a very fascinating birds I've seen owls before, wild owls and they are amazing so this card is very cute. Even thought I didn't have the elements to create this card I manage to create the owls with different things that the tutorial had. I call this the Tropical Owls cause they have palm trees and coconuts around them LOL...

This is a very nice skecth even though I've broke the rules a little bit lol...but I think I got away with a nice combination of colors and the paper I've use on this card was an 8x8 Antique Paperie from Colorbok. the embellishments were orange flowers with a faux white pearl to give that summer look.  A nice sentiment and that says Dare To Dream...will you?

Well this time is all about cool colors to create a cool card. Operation Write Home has chosen for July challenge to make a card with colors like blues, greens and violets. I can include neutral colors to make a beautiful card, so I did. This colors are wonderful to play with, I have to admit that laventer is my favorite color so this combination of colors made me happy and it was very nice to do a crad like this. I've use a nice handmade paper for the background is a very delicate paper to work with but the results came out beautiful. Then I added paper from a 4x6 K&Company Susan Winget collection, beutiful colors perfect for the card. Added the infamous Martha Stewart Monarch Butterfly Punch with a lavender Faux Pearl and a sentiment. The card was round corner punch to give more of a delicate look This card is very nice it was definitely made with Love :)

Ok one day I was just looking at some other people's wonderful creations and I came across with what is I think a big trend in the crafting world. The Mini Albums, so I was like wow I want to make one so I started looking for more ideas and what was the easiest way to make one for a Mini Album Rookie LOL... So I thought making one with lunch paper bags will be the best idea and the easiest but I made a video asking my viewers if they would like me to do a Toilet Paper Mini Album or a Lunch Paper Bag Mini...they choose Toilet Paper haha... Even though this was my first mini I have to tell you that I love the experience and I think I was bitten by the Mini Bug lol...OMG I love this things I think I'm addicted now...haha...Hope you like it!!!

So for this technique chosen for this week’s CC2C Challenge on the Studio L3 blog is the Configuration Box The instructions for the technique can be found on pages 33 and 34 of Tim Holtz’s book Compendium of Curiosities Volume 2. Well this is a work in progress, but I love everything so far what I did was fun and I put all my heart in to it. So this will be my first Tim Holtz configuration box and I embellish some using personal and childhood little things I found here and there in my closet. I've handmade Polymer Clay Figures made by myself, as you all know all love skulpting and playing with polymer clay. The paper I used was from the 12x12  Vintage Treasures from COLORBOK and then I use some of the Tim Holtz 12x12 Holiday Collection as well. The Tissue Paper was made by myself with Tim Holtz Stamps. So I hope you all likethis configuration box as much as I do :)

So here is my Texture Challenge that Tando Creative has post it on their blog. This is a called the Mixed Media Portrait and is ver similiar to something I did a couple a months ago, but htis time I have included more elements and open my creativeness to the max. If you want to see what I've used and how this project was done please visit my Ustream Channel. I love this portrait is very Mixed Media a little Steampunk and it was very fun to do.

I don't know if some of my readers notice a new badge that says Jackson Digital Expressions ? Well let me explain, I have join this wonderful blog that has allot of great people with allot of talent. Now this is a little different from what I've done in my art and I wanted to join them to step out of my comfort zone and start doing new things. The way I have discover them was through a YouTuber named RJ and I seen his work is super fun and very creative. So I gave it a shot and apply for the Design Team, so will see how it goes. So far I just did a beauttiful card for one of their fun challenge. So here is my entry or the July challenge. I did this cute card using my Tim Holtz Distress Markers...
