Greetings! I am so glad you found me. My name is jean and I was born with a crayon in my hand. I can't tell you how many times I was reminded not to draw on the walls in my room and the hallway in the house. I will admit that I even drew on the bathroom wall at school. I was always drawing and coloring, While the other children were playing with Barbie dolls and dressing them. I was drawing my dolls and cutting them out, then I would design clothes for them I was only happy when I was designing and playing with my dolls. As I matured I started filling notebooks with sketches. If I was inspired by something, I would sit and write down colors that I liked and return to draw an outfit. Every doll was different and named. I also gave the doll a birthday. This was on the day the doll was designed. I had a cardboard box and each doll was wrapped in tissue paper. These dolls were my life. I never allowed the other children to touch them. or play with them. I find happiness and a sense of well being when I create my art. My hobbies also include fiber art, collage, victorian art, altered dooks, art journals, rubber stamping and scrapbooking. macrame, domino jewerly, crochet, stone rubbings,and much more. These are just a few of the many things I do. If it has been done...I have done it. I have plans to write a book about my paper art dolls. I will complete the book in the future. I love meeting other artists who make paper art dolls. I love to be different. And have a motto I repeat often ... "dare to be different!" Never think you have to follow in someone elses foot steps. Never hide your art because you do not think it is good enough. Show it off. Art is made to hang on the wall and to be showed off. *I can't wait to get my art out of the box and show my pride and joys off. I express just who I am through my art work. I design differently every day. And my moods reflect this. It is like magic to me and I never have artist block. Sometimes I will have 5 projects started and will finish each one. I have never started a piece of art and tossed it in a pile. My art means too much to me. Hope you enjoyed your visit. And ...dare to be different...very different!

I have been rubber stamping for 25 years and have learned alot and have mingled into everything related to stamping. Though a rubber stamp ink blot is usually made using an ink pad and rubber stamps, you can have many styles when you stamp. Maybe you like flowers or birds or just use word stamps to make a card or a tag. I have ventured into this unexplored area and find it is my muse.
Rubber Stamp Ink Blotting allows you to step out of the “box” and explore your natural creativity like we once had as a child learning to hold a crayon. It is an easy process if you want to take the time and learn. I taught myself by experimenting with “shapes”. I wanted “movement” in my art and I am still trying to find this in inkings.
Not one of my ink blots are the same. I do not start by planning what I want to design, they just flow freely onto the paper by positioning images onto paper using different angles —no rules are needed. Just like making an abstract painting, it cannot be easily explained or taught.
I am a self taught mixed media artist. I like designing zines, ATCs, art journals, cards, mingle in vintage, grunge, pop art, abstract and artsy styles. I am considered a mood artist.
I have found a safe haven in art that no one else can disturb. It is a creative outlet that allows me to be myself through this filterless process. No restraints present; the fluid just flows in the neon liquid pool that produces waves of natural vibrations. And I usually don’t title my work not to take the mystery out of it.
How do I design? With an open mind and an imagination! And if the art doesn’t have wings… I just add them!
Artfully, Jean.

Meet Charlotte Jads Designer.
About me
Hello, I am Charlotte-AKA Suepup in the virtual world. I am married to a great husband; you know the type, funny, solid-rock-steady with warm eyes, and the sweetness in his kiss you long for when he is gone. I am still amazed after all these years, how he still takes my breath away when I see him across a crowded room. My current loves are scrapbooking, mixed media, photography, creating digi sketches and printmaking. I am fairly new to scrapbooking and had been very reluctant to try the "art". For many years, I thought scrapbooking was only a craft, and not art. I now laugh at that thought, I was so wrong. A couple years ago, one of my friends dared me to just scrap one page. Well I did, and now I addicted. I find scrapbooking is a way to create smaller pieces of mixed media artwork! I love Distressed, Steampunk, Shabby Chic and Grunge style scrapbooking. I consider myself an artist rather than a crafter. I often find that my scrapbooking style does not fit the traditional scrapping.

Victorian Ghost
I thought that people may enjoy this one..Yep, that is me last Halloween. I am starting to work on this years costume-I think I may use this again for one of the parties. It was such a success!
Peace
"Peace" which has been a challenge for me lately! Anyway, I enjoyed creating this LO! Every so often, I get the urge to create a artsy LO! I love doing the artsy LO's best! There are so many recycled items in this LO! Once again, I reused some images from a 2007 daily planner I had-the images were so wonderful, I could not throw them out. The images are by one of my favorite artist-Manley. There is scripture throughout this layout-I copied the entire forth chapter of Philippians. There is scripture framing the window area near the woman's face.
Loyality
I used scraps and when I say scraps, I went and dug for the pieces of paper and embellies that really should have been discarded. We all have them, the ones that have fallen between papers and stuck in the corners of the drawers.
Last Friday, my dh had oral surgery, he had to have four wisdom teeth and three cysts removed from his mouth. This is a picture of him with an ice pack. He is not able to eat anything but soft food for 10 days. I course, I had to include some of the items-mac and cheese box piece, used oatmeal container and the black teas bag packets. I also included the old gauze packages. The white fluffy stuff at the bottom and behind the big flourish is gauze.
In this picture is our Dobbie, she is the one you can always count on when your sick! She will stick to you and sleep with you until you are back on your feet. She will sniff at you to make sure you are "ok". She is the best nurse! The Dobbie-Babygirl is so very Loyal.
The quote reads:
"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy to such devotion."
There is tons of machine stitching as well as handstitching. Each piece of paper was either hand or machine stitched directly to the paper.

There are many techniques in this LO. Not a pretty LO but honestly, I have not been feeling too pretty and fuzzy lately-and that is what this LO is about. I really wish all the writing and stamping in the dark area were visible- it really adds to the LO. Well anyway, ugly or not here,is the real me lately. There is journaling written in a pull out pocket hidden between the page layers.
The journaling reads:
Today, this layout is just about me! It is about how I have been feeling lately-that is grumpy and cranky-then feel really horrible about feeling that way. It is hard not to let the feelings take over me and everyone else- so here is my way of defusing. The writing is not going to be structured nor is going to make sense to many who read this. Lately, I have been thinking about a theory that I studied while in college-not sure if it is even something many people know about- Dabrowski's “Theory of Positive Disintegration”. Yesterday, I wanted to refresh myself to see if the theory was how I remembered. So, I starting Goggling “Disintegration” well two things popped up on the web search-the theory and this painting/illustration- I long forgotten- titled “Disintegration” by one of my favorite artist. So, I lifted the idea and of course, I changed the artwork to fit me-trying to keep as close to the original spirit as possible. This artist inspires a lot of my scrapbook pages an artwork! I must start with my simple understanding of the word "disintegration" has two meanings that are closely related. The first is "decay or destruction."-which I have been feeling a lot lately. When something decays it dissolves into elements that are qualitatively different from the whole, parts can no longer function individually. Well, again this is me: I feel that the nice and easy going side of me and the new grumpy side of me are no longer letting me function as my old self the “whole” The second meaning is "a separation into component parts, a breaking up." I am breaking up-or feel like it sometimes-then I function in smaller units or sometimes many units, which allow or force me to function as two discrete entities-the grumpy me and nice me. There are pieces of me here and there doing a thousand things. Then I think about the theory-I was referring to “Dabrowski's “Theory of Positive Disintegration” Which is the theory of human personality development where our guiding role is emotions.-which seems to be my leader these days. Recently, I feel my emotional development is loosening and dismantling-destroying my character. I wonder- am I am going through pre-menopause-no much to young for that-maybe I am going “insane”-no too old for that. Maybe it is just transcendence-yeah, it could be that. Maybe my work is overwhelming-maybe-it is stressful but I have been doing this line of work too long to let it get to me now! Whatever it is, I just pray that I get my understanding and wisdom-I know it must be a test of faith from above…God's time and our time is different. He only knows what is best for me…so meanwhile I will keep pushing through….
