New AJ pages with my Viva Artistry kits

I made a few new pages, just playing around with the kits from Viva Artistry i have in my stash.

The first one is "a bit more serious" (well nothing too heavy though).
As i have HMS, i really shouldn't be behind my pc too long at a time, but ... when i'm creating pages i tend to lose track of time and end up spending way too much time behind the pc. It's all about finding the balance,
but it tends to be difficult for me and it's an ongoing issue LOL.

Viva Artistry - The Web paint
Viva Artistry - Tough Love wordart

Finding Balance

Now for the "fun" part (well they're all fun ...).
I had some fun playing with the Silk Road kit from Viva Artistry. There's such gorgeous silky papers in there as well as beautiful drawn elements so i decided to dress up a dollgirl  from Cilenia Curtis - dressup doll templates. This is the result.

Butterfly Girl

And another little fun page i made about fashion (just looove fashion) with use of the following kits.
Viva Artistry: Vogue brushes & wordart, Found Treasures freebie kit, Le Reve paints.
Studio Priss: Dressup freebie (2 girls)

Fashion Trends
I hope you liked my pages. Thank you for reading and hope to see you next time !!!

Some AJ pages i made for challenges

I entered 3 challenges at SBG & 1 at Deviantscrap and thought i would share my pages with you.
Now i just love the kits of Viva Artistry, so i used them on 2 of the 3 SBG layouts again (the first two).

First challenge i entered is the Launch Zone challenge for November 2012 at SBG.
I used the provided template & the Viva Artistry Muse kit & Muse paints.

Create
The second one is also at SBG and is the November 2012 Font Challenge.
I used the Janda Fabulous font on this page.
Kit used is Silk Road by Viva Artistry.

Songbird
The 3rd challenge (& last at SBG) was the Create Outside the Box challenge of november 2012 at SBG, about favorite foods or drinks.
My favorite drink is definately coffee, in all variety's plain to fancy.

Coffee
And finally i entered the DSD challenge Christmas Tag Swap at Deviantscrap. Using the provided tag templates by Holliewood Studio, i made 5 tags for this swap. Just to keep it simple i made a preview page, which is a background with all 5 of my tags displayed at once. Now i don't own any Christmaskits, but got along fine without them, as you can see. LOL

Xmas Tag Swap tags
That's it for now, i will be back with some new pages soon. Thank you for reading !!!

Some AJ pages i made for various challenges

Here are some additional pages i made in october/november for various challenges. I always like to enter as much as i can, but sometimes i'm just out of time LOL.

NORMAL IS OVERRATED:
A page i made for the Just my Type - Grand Opening challenge at OTBDS's forum.
For this page i used (all from OTBDS):
My life's a circus, Strings Attached, Funky Chik'n, Dogdoodles, Personal Best, Soulflight & Places in the Heart. 
OTBDS kits are available HERE.



HARMONY:
A page i made for the October Launchzone challenge at SBG. I used Viva Artistry's Chakra line for my page on a topic that's really crucial in my life right now - Balance/Harmony.



HORROR WITH A TWIST:
My page for the October monthly challenge 2012. I thought long about what creeps me out the most and this came to mind. Anyone who's ever been stalked by a crazy person know what i'm talking about, and nothing is creepyer than late night calls from a deranged individual that's watching your every move.
I got rid of mine when i found out his first name and threatned to mess HIM up if he continued
(yes, i bluffed and pretended to know more about him, LOL, but that did the trick). Anyway, my creepiest moment ...

Credits:
Crowabout: Funky Junk, Wacky Pack & Dirty Words.
Background: Rucola - Funky Soul


BEARS AHEAD:
My entry for the November Monthly Challenge at Deviantscrap. Thinking about boundaries made me
remember the saying used for obstacles in achieving your goals - bears on the road.
I decided to use this for a page (or how to deal with those pesky bears LOL).

Credits:
Clementine Design - Are we there yet
Martha van Eck - I love le Chocolate
Pinup: Nearestore (farfarhill)


SEASONS GREETINGS:
My entry for the November ATC Unswap at Deviantscrap. Now this was a challenge for me as i rarely make ATC's (this is about the 3rd one i made LOL) but it was lots of fun.
Secondly, i started AJ in april of this year so i really don't own any Christmas kits (except
for some scrapbooking freebies), so i decided to just clear my mind and start rumaging through
my Deviant goodies to see what i could use. I finally came up with this.

Credits:
Altered Emporium - Life's templates freebie (for ATC template, chevron overlay & tags)
Martha van Eck - The future is steampunk (background paper, frame, greenery & stars)
Tumblefish - It's official (girl & clock)
Finecrafted - Journaling tiles: papers (used to "clip" the gold finish to frame, chevron overlay, tags, curtain & text) & cross
Finecrafted - Warrior women (Curtain)
Holliewood Studios - Xmas Tags freebie (this month's deviant muse) for the green bow.
Martha van Eck - Story freebie (for the pendant)



Well, that's all for now, i hope you liked them.
Thanks for reading !!

And i made some pages with it of course, using some amusing quotes by Nancy Hughes.

Hilda Witch
Author: Nancy Hughes

Hilda Witch broke her broom
trying to land atop a tomb.
She'd planned to put on quite a show
but when she crashed she broke her toe.
Now she can't walk and she can't fly
so Halloween's safe for you and I.
The moral of this tiny tale?
If you're gonna crash, you'd better bail!

In Style
Author: Nancy Hughes

Bats and spiders come out at night
in the flickering candlelight,
balls of lint drift through the air
catching on the cobwebs there.
One of these days I'll have to clean
but for now I'm in vogue for Halloween!

Thank you for reading, see you next time !!!

NEW: Flea Stylin' and Prayer Cards 1 by OTBDS

Yep, more new goodness from OTBDS !!!!
First a brandnew kit called Flea Stylin'. The love of freestyle art (and living, for that matter) and fascination for all things unusual and unique that can be found at a Flea Market combined to bring this kit. It is a bit vintage, but also freestyle and artistic. Use it in whatever way your heart guides you to create!
Included are: 10 papers (4 are 12x12, 6 are 8x10), 50+ accents, and there is a complete set of tags too,
cos how can you have a flea market without those individual price tags? LOL

It is available for you HERE.
And here's a little preview:

Elements

Papers


And my pages with this kit:

DOLLS: I used to collect dolls and decided to scrap a page about that for memory, since i all had to throw them out when i moved into a small appartment. 










FLEAMARKET LEFTPAGE: I love to go to flea markets and decided to make a spread about it. This is the left page, listing all my favorite markets.

FLEAMARKET RIGHT PAGE: I love to go to flea markets and decided to make a spread about it. This is the right page, about the kind of goodies i search for.

Then there's a cool new set of Prayer Cards (no.1) from OTBDS. More than a "Baker's Dozen" - there are 14 cards in this pack, each one with a different prayer from Scripture and a hand painted background.  The Lord's Prayer, the prayer of Job,  the prayer of Jabez, and  Psalm 139 are among the prayers.

The second download zip is the backgrounds only, so that you may create a personalized prayer card,
or even an A.T.C.   Individual .png files and the cards on printable sheets are included.

You can purchase it HERE.

And of course my pages:

50 things i'm grateful for !! Made for the DSD-challenge at MSA. I also used: Adversity's Advantage, Portal of Hope, Sing over me & Risen (all from OTBDS)
