Anniversary Gift

As you know I have been away for a while. I appreciate all of your kind thoughts after the passing of my dad. My aunt and uncle had a 55th wedding anniversary and I thought I create this layout as an anniversary gift for them. I incorporated most of the colors that they like and made it unique to them.

Products I used:
Lindy's Stamp Gang in Dark Chocolate Truffle, Cactus Gold, Winter Jasmine Gold, & Grab Guy Gold.
Tim Holtz Distress Powder in Weather-worn look
The Dusty Attic from Lindy's Stamp Gang (Bird cage #4) Product # DA 0085
Graphic 45 Once upon springtime paper (Woodland Fantasy)
La Crème stack from DCWV
and my personal stash of trinkets, lace and things.

Happy Mother's Day

I hope that you are all spending the day doing what you love.

Whether it's spending time with family, creating in your studio, or just relaxing make it a good one.

Just Doodling!

Just Doodling! Thanks for stopping by have a great weekend...

"Garden in a can"

Hi everyone welcome back to my blog! I want to share with you these “Gardens in a can” that I came up with using pineapple cans that I had left over from baking pineapple upside-down cakes for a bake-sale at my kids’ school. I was about to head out to the recycle bin when I remembered a project I saw a long time ago using recycled or up-cycled cans! So a trip to the $ store, a couple of bunches of colorful flowers, a few button, left over burlap, ribbon, my trusty glue gun and voilà born was a resplendent garden!!!  So I challenge you to Go Green, alter something and come back and show me what you came up with!

Altered Pincushion Teacup

Thanks for stopping by and thanks Mom for the inspiration! Altered pincushion teacup I created for CHA Winter 2012. I used this exquisite little butterfly teacup I found on one of my antiquing excursions! Then I took some luscious fabric and some batting from my stash to create the base inside. Added some flat-back pearls, handmade some stick pins, sprayed my I Am Roses with my LSG sprays in “A Little Bit of Bubbly” and adhered everything with E6000 glue. Hope to have inspired you!!!

My CHA Winter 2012 Adventure

I’m home after an amazing time in Southern California, made so many new friends and was so lucky to at last meet some amazing ladies that I have known via the internet for a while. I hadnt laughed so much and so hard in a long while! I shared a room with Bona and Arlene {and} you would think we had been friends for years. All of my fellow Lindy's Stamp Gang Design Team members that I met for the first time were impressive… Tracey the fabulous owner of Lindy’s Stamp Gang made it all possible (thank you sooo much once again). I can’t say enough what an amazing group of people!!! So stick around and enjoy all the pictures and video I brought back of our CHA Winter 2012 adventure!
