A Little Art

A girl I work with loves my art so I made this this mixed media canvas for her birthday using decoupage, old pattern tissue, sheet music and ledger paper for the background. I added some of my dyed flower trim and twine alone with some chipboard and handwritten lettering. I splattered some India ink and I finished it off with some canvas butterflies colored with glimmer mist and sprinkled with glitter. Hope she likes it!

Project Life-Binder

So for my 2012 PL I chose a beautiful blue American Crafts 3-ring binder. These are my favorite albums. I did a little decorating on the front with foam number stamps and some Technique Tuesday stamps by Ali Edwards. I ordered 2 packs of style A page protectors and I finally did give in and order the Clementine Core Kit. Hopefully it will arrive this week. Looking forward to getting started putting it together. I downloaded the Photo 365 app for my iPhone to help me out and it has a daily reminder to keep me on track.

Project Life Update

Well...it's official. I am the proud owner of the Becky Higgins Project Life Clementine edition. I am excited and leery of the whole thing but I feel motivated to do it! Wish me luck!!!!

Stamped Metal Jewelry

For my daughter's friends for Christmas I made these cute necklaces out of washers from the hardware store. I saw some others on Pinterest and fell in love with them. They are surprisingly not hard to make and very inexpensive. I love personalized gifts. Hope the girls like them too!

Project Life

So...I really would love to take on the challenge of Project Life. The concept is great and the products are amazing. Now the problem with this is the commitment to actually DO IT! I doubt myself because I have been trying for 2 years to complete a December Daily album and have yet to finish. The only reason I am thinking about attempting it is because of the fact that for December Daily I feel like I have to plan 25 Christmas activities and for Project Life you simply capture things that "just happen". Are you thinking about taking the plunge?

Christmas Wreath

Got this idea for turning a coat hanger and Christmas ornaments into a beautiful wreath. I got these plastic ornaments and the wired ribbon at the Just a Dollar store so this wreath cost me $7!

Creative Mess

This is what happens when I get creative. I saw a quote on Pinterest that sums it up:

"Creativity is messy. I am very creative!"

Christmas Mini

So. I have gathered up some awesome goodies and I am ready to get started on my Christmas mini for the November 12 class at Scrapbooker's Emporium. It's going to be great so sign up early to make sure you get a spot!!!! See ya there!

Decoupage

I watched a video the other day about creating backgrounds so I decided to give it a try. I used mod podge, book text, old dress pattern paper, sheet music and ledger paper to create a base. I used some paints for color and added the twisted muslin flowers with pearl centers. The quote from Cinderella is hand-written with India ink using my nib pen. Thanks for stopping by!
