MORE OWLS

Saw this stamp on the Hero Arts site and I thought they were so dang cute. The stamp is LP131 and Hero Arts also give you plenty of samples of what they did with this adorable stamp.




I also found this oh so cute wood album by Genuinely Jane Studios this item is #106. Its 5.5 x7.5 and comes with 8 pages total including front and back covers.





This is what I have done with the owl ablum so far. Notice the eyes, I sprayed the wood with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist (Tuscan Sun) and pearl ex powdered pigment then I stamped on it using gold metalic ink (memories) and the Hero S1832 Italian Script.

OWLS are in!

I have been seeing owls everywhere I go lately. I tend to get on tangents and this week its OWLS!! I think they are sooo cute. This is what I have done with owls this week for ebay ... its titled "WHOO Loves You"

I hand drew my little owl, then I paper pieced it together. On the second page I stamped my image and then paper pieced layers on the stamped image for more color and texture.

New Class - I LUV U Beary Much!

I was given a challenge to use the LUXE Sundress collection which by the way I love. I really like the colors because they are so warm and of course love flowers ! I also put some core'dinations cardstock in the mix along with some beautiful May Arts ribbon.


So after about a week I came up with this idea since Mother's Day and Father's Day are close and I was thinking about my parents and how much I loved them .... this is what I came up with.

I will be teaching this class at Cherry Blossom Studio on Sunday, June 28th. You will also get a bonus template and directions for a cute "beary" card.

There are no mistakes in Art

It seems that everytime I teach a class there are several ladies that want to do their layout "just like mine" which is fine but then when someone does something a little different - they get all upset because they made a mistake. There are no mistakes in creating ... in fact from my personal experience my "mistakes" usually turn out better than what I originally had in my head. I did these wall art a while ago. Can you tell which one I made a "mistake" on?

I want to leave you with this motto that I read on etsy today I liked it and thought I would share "Practice, Practice, Practice Creativity is like a muscle that you need to flex regularly. I dread staring at a blank piece of paper, but everything begins with that first stroke. "

North Carolina Trip

Just got back from a 4 day trip to N. Carolina. Our neighbors own property there and were kind enough to invite my husband and I. We had a great time - good friends, wonderful food and beautiful views from the mountain top.











I will definately scrap this trip. Maybe I will use the new Luxe Ecology line, I love the trees, birds and flowers in that line and it will definately go with my pictures.

April Showers brings May Flowers

This is the layout I came up with using the Piggy Tales collecton "Its Raining, It's Pouring". I will be teaching this class at the new Cherry Blossom Studio on May 9th. Thought I would show you some pics of the layout.

Sneak A Peek

I thought I would show you a sneakie peakie of what I am currently working on. This will be a class for Cherry Blossom Studio sometime in the middle of April. The class day and time has not been determined yet. The paper line I am using is the new “It’s Raining, It’s Pouring” collection from Piggy Tales. Uhmmm, wonder what I can come up with? If you have any ideas, please share.

I thought I would also show you some pictures of my trip to the New Cherry Blossom Studio store ... its pretty cool; she has a HUGE crop room where she holds 3-day crops!! Wow!! As usual I went into the store to get something specific and ending up spending hours there. Some of that was chatting with my friends....

Ok, so speaking of etsy I found an awesome store that sells hand crocheted flowers and butterflys - and she will make them in any color you want! Of course I had to purchase a few different colors to add to my pages. You can stack the crochet flower on top of primas along with pretty buttons or brads to really dress up your page.

Below is a picture of how I used ziemabir flowers.

SomeBunny Loves Me Chipboard Book Class

I taught a class for Cherry Blossom Studio this weekend and thought I would show you some pictures. Cherry Blossom is getting ready for their big move to a beautiful shopping center in Coconut Creek called "The Promenade" so we held our class at the old location. Four of the ladies that signed up live in Boston and flew in for the class - the pressure was on! We (almost) finished a chipboard Easter Book that was 5x11 - some ladies were 2 pages short of finishing so I emailed them the pics of the last pages to finish at home. The class took a little longer than the alloted 4 hours but everyone enjoyed themselves - now on to the next project!!

My NEW Look

I am so excited about my new logos and banners - Erin Bradley did such an awesome job and she was very patient and a great communicator. I totally recommend her. I feel all fresh and new with my spring colors!!

Now onto what I have selling on ebay. I thought I would show you this listing because it matches my new colors so perfectly :). This is a set of 5 handmade cards with matching scalloped envelopes and cute kitty seals. The pretty giftbox is included.

My latest Layout - DinoMite Fun

Just wanted to share the layout I recently made DinoMite that is on ebay. I drew the dinosaurs, chalked, inked, layered and hi-lighted them to give them more character. All the mattes are machine sewn and inked of course. I really do ink everything ...
