Wedding Card Tux and Dress

Posted on September 3, 2017 by Cathy Parlitsis

I love Wedding Cards. I’m always on the lookout for new an interesting options. The Dress is a beautiful card I received from Yvette Sanchez, a very talented Stamper. The Tux was made from a pattern I purchased from Lynn Pratt. I made a few variations of the dress card and altered the Tux pattern to use less of the black…

Flowers in Her Hair Paint Art Journal Pages

Posted on August 31, 2017 by Cathy Parlitsis

As I continue to explore all types of Mixed Media, I am increasingly pushed WAY outside my comfort zone! Drawing was not something I ever thought I could do and paint is not a medium I am particularly comfortable with. So..those are exactly the two things I am focused on. 😉 This is an Art Journal Spread for a Toni Burt…

Inspiration Art Journal Page

Posted on August 26, 2017 by Cathy Parlitsis

I love participating in Challenges. You would think that you could be more creative without any boundaries but, for me, it’s just the opposite. Having a starting point always helps reign in my ADD mind. This one asks “What Inspires You?” That changes from day to day. Some days it’s things I see while others it’s things I feel. I am always…

Art Journal with Paint, Stamps & Stencils

Posted on August 24, 2017 by Cathy Parlitsis

As Crafters, we often get stuck in our “groove” and use the same products and techniques over and over. I definitely fall prey to that a lot. In the past couple of years, I have tried to make a conscious effort to move out of my comfort zone and explore other mediums. Ink will always be my first love but…

Although I have been remiss in posting, I have not stopped creating! I love sharing with all of you but writing blog posts has gone by the wayside lately.

Hello, Again!

Posted on April 21, 2017 by Cathy Parlitsis

I just noticed that I haven’t posted anything since September! Yikes! For someone who used to post every single day, that’s crazy! I hope you’ve all be doing well in my absence. It’s not that I just forgot about all of you. Without being a Debbie Downer, I was dealing with my mom’s illness and just needed to be “all…

Patriotic Art Journal Page

Posted on September 5, 2016 by Cathy Parlitsis

I have been spending lots of time taking classes lately and working on Techniques and Art Journal Pages. You will be seeing them once they’re finished but this was a quick one I whipped up to practice my “drips.” They look so cool when other people do them but I find them challenging. LOL Not sure but I think I’m just “drip challenged.”…

Distress Grit Paste Statue of Liberty Card

Posted on August 13, 2016 by Cathy Parlitsis

There are some things that hold a special place in your heart for one reason or another. The Statue of Liberty is one of those things for me. First and foremost, it reminds me of my beloved Grandmother. She took me there as a child and regaled me with stories of family members who made their way through Ellis Island….

Paste Resist Card

Posted on August 12, 2016 by Cathy Parlitsis

The Paste Resist Card is so cool that I really had a hard time covering any part of it! I used an Idea-ology Compass Coin and a small Corner to embellish the card. The background is just Tissue Paper over a piece of Black Card Stock inked with Black Soot Distress Ink. I loved this stencil (TH Mesh) . It reminds…
