ALTERED REALITY

Good Morning, fellow bloggers and visitors

Stepped outside of my comfort zone again!  Yay, me.  I find that I'm getting a bit more daring lately and my goofy dark side has definitely been coming out.

Holliewood Studios came out with this fabulous, fun, new kit this week, ALTERED REALITY and I just had to play with it.  I don't think I did the kit justice, but it got me thinking outside my usual "box" and I always have her volume one I must go back and play with this weekend when it's snowing and I have no desire to leave the house.

The first piece I did was "BELIEVE" using "Altered Reality" and her "Believe" kit.  Downloaded the kit when it was time to go to bed but HAD to stay up to create at least one page.

She probably could have used an entire head of feather embellishments, but I was so excited to get a page done before bed, this is what I ended up with.  May have to rework this a bit.

I also used Hollie's "All That Glitters" paper as an overlay for some extra sparkle.

The next morning when I got up (no, I didn't call in sick to work...I had the week off) I decided to take my Maine Coon, Theodore on a journey....

 


A TRIP IN THE SS THEODORE TEAPOT SUBMARINE

Created with Holliewood Studio's "Altered Reality v.2"
Starring Theodore as your submarine Captain.

Water was appropriate for him.  He is my water cat.  Always into something wet, including the tub if I'm in it.  Both he and Thea have no issue being wet and going for a swim.

 ME & MY ALTERED STATE OF MIND

This piece above is my favorite.  I have a fear (or should I be brave and say "respect") of water.  Not a big fan, so submerging myself, even in digital art takes my breath away a bit... My mother told me to remove the photo as my Facebook profile pic because it's creepy; my friend Jon said I was heading in the right direction but it wasn't creepy enough.

Must have been my mood that day, because I went for more creepy and every time I look at the next piece I just giggle, so I don't think I ended up with creepy.

I call this last one:  "BUGGING OUT"  ...and yes, I have been known to eat a bug or two, a live minnow or a spider on a dare...

That's about it for now... more to come.  A few more pieces I'm working on and a new kit next Monday from Xquizart.  YAY!

It's going to snow all weekend so plenty of time to be creative.  Thank you for stopping by...  the five of you that I see do!  hehehehe

Until next time!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Happy New Year!!  Welcome to 2015.  While awaiting the release of Xquizart's newest kit (coming out tomorrow...YAY)  I have been playing with some of her older kits and a couple others as well.  Nothing better than a cold winter day and a bit of imagination.

This first piece was created with Holliewood's new "All That Glitters", TFS's "City Skies", Xquizart's artdolls.... "Halloween MC Performers" "Halloween MC Stripes", "Whimsy's Collectibles", "Fruit Punch" and "Peaches and Cream" Alphabets from my Holliewood and Pink Lotty. Signs from TFS and Holliewood. Fireworks from free online clip art.

I then jumped over to a few itKuPiLLi kits I have.   Really thought outside of my usual "box" on that one.  Not sure if it was the holiday cheer or the start of a new year giving me inspiration but I was quite proud of how it all ended up.

ICE BLUE

Created with itKuPiLLi's "Winter Tales" from www.mischiefcircus.com

 

 

I must have been in a "blue" mood because it appears it's all I worked with that evening.

SILENCE

She was thankful for her inability to speak, for if she did, everyone would know the craziness that went on in her head. Created with itKuPiLLi kits.

Winter Tales...
Welcome Winter
Sky is the Limit
Spiritis Mortis
Time Traveler
In The Hood
Oldies Ordinary
Cliché

Museum
Lets Make a Scene

Souvenirs
Enchanted Trail... and I'm not sure what else I may have missed.

 

From there I headed back to some of my favorite Xquizart Dolls for a couple more pieces...

 

SHE WAS GOLDEN

 

Created with Xquizart's newest "Magnolia" kit.  Background from Holliewood Studio's "All That Glitters" and skyline from Krysty Scraps "Urban Fanatic"

 

 

 

Water Girl

 

 Created with Holliewood Design's background "All That Glitters", Xquizart's "Under The Waterfall" and Eena's Creation's "Beyond the Seashore".  Greenery from Pink Lotty.

 

 

WHERE THERE'S A WILL

 

Created with Xquizart's "Be Still My Heart" artdoll,   Tumble Fish Studio's "City Skies".  Background from Holliewood's Midnight Reverie.

 

 

SHE WAITS

 

She dreams of a night on the town with the man of her dreams.  Maybe one day he'll come knocking.  Created with Xquizart's "Shades of Grey"

 

 

 

"Shades of Grey" have to to say is my all time favorite kit.  So much in this kit and every time I open it  I find something new I missed the last time I was there.  All sorts of fun options with this one for sure.

 

I rounded out New Years coming back to Xquizart's "Snowflake" kit that was recently released. 

 



 

 

SHE DREAMS OF THE CITY

Her name was Snowflake. She lived in the forest and never wore shoes. But, once... just once, she wanted to leave the beautiful forest for the city streets, in December, during the snowfall. . . to see a show on Broadway. To dress like a fairy princess, to dance in the streets.... to come out from hiding.

 Created with Xquizart's "SNOWFLAKE" kit. Buildings from Tumble Fish Studio's "City Skies" and embellishments from TFS's "Dreams Odd Show"

 

In closing I'll say it all depends how you look at it.  What have I accomplished as 2015 begins?  A few pages.  That is it.  But, to me that's a lot with this new passion I am enjoying.  Laundry is piling up, I need to vacuum.  I'm even trying to remember if I fed the cats today.  Oh yes, I am obsessed with scrapping.
