More Mother's Day Cards

Wow!  I think I'm finally done.  I got all my cards made...I hope.  LOL!!  I made these cards for my sister's boyfriend's family.  I used lots of my scraps and metal.  The metal is from Ten Seconds Studio and I can't tell you how much I love their product.  It's great quality and so easy to work with.  I hope they love their cards.  Thanks for stopping by...till next time!

Mother's Day Card

Here is another Mother's Day card I designed.  I can't decide if this one is for my mom or not.  I have a few more ideas up my sleeve so who knows.  On this card I used a lot of scraps I had been saving and made the rosettes.  I used some metal from Ten Seconds Studio along with some alcohol ink to get the color I needed for the leaves.  One of my favorite embellishments is back...I used micro beads on the tag.  I love these things and they come in all colors so the ideas are endless.  Well I got more cards to make and decide which one to give my mom.  Thanks for stopping by and come back I'm sure I will have more cards and other projects posted soon!!

Mother's Day Cards

Here's what I've been busy doing...making Mother's Day cards.  I got a special order and was asked to make each one different.  I used the same stamp but what fun it was to create a different design for each one.  I used some great products from Maya Road, October Afternoon, Provo Crafts, Ten Seconds Studio and even used some Copic markers on several of my cards.  What a special day it is to celebrate mom.  I know I'm very lucky to have a very special mom.  Thanks for stopping by to take a look at my newest creations. 

Mother's Day Canvas

I'm so excited!  This is my first mixed media canvas piece.  I made this for my mom for Mother's Day.  I hope she really likes it.  The phrase "I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life" by Abraham Lincoln.  I knew this phrase was perfect because my mom tells me daily she prays for me and my sister.  She has always wanted the best for us.  We couldn't ask for a better mother.  She has taught us so much.  I used ribbon trim and chipboard pieces from Maya Road.  My chipboard lady is from FabScraps.  I covered her in metal from Ten Seconds Studio and her skirt is made from old sewing patterns I found at the thrift store.  This was one fun project and I'm ready to do another one.  Thanks for stopping in and checking out my projects!

"Create" sign

Here's my lastest creation.  I'm doing some re-arranging in my craftroom and thought I needed something  new to add so I made this Create sign to put up in my room.  I used a foil technique I learn on Pinterest and just went crazy with some zipper trim.  All embellishments are from Maya Road and Tim Holtz.  I can't wait to find that special place in my room for it.  Thanks for stopping in and please let me know what you think of my new sign.  I love the comments!  Till next time....

Art Journal is done!!

Well here it is!!  My art journal is completed.  I say it's finished, but I keep picking it up and adding more to it. I started this journal to help me on my journey with Weight Watchers.  I thought it would be a great tool to keep me motivated.  I had a great time making it and now I can write down my thoughts for each passing week.  The first pic is of the cover which I made using metal from Ten Seconds Studio and egg shells....yes! egg shells!  I saw this idea on Pinterest so I thought I would give it a try.  I love how it came out.  I used fabric to cover the rest of the cover.  All my pages are initally painted with gesso.  I then used everything from stains, distress inks, paints and stamps to complete the pages.  Most of the embellishments are from Tim Holtz and Maya Road.  One great thing about making this journal is I was able to use up a lot of my leftovers from other projects.  Well now onto the fun part...I get to fill it up with all my thoughts and secrets.  LOL!  Stay tuned for more projects.  I already have an idea rolling around in my head.   

More Art Journal

I'm really excited!  I've been working on my art journal and I love how it is all coming together.  I can't wait to start writing in it.  It's been fun experimenting with all the different techniques.  Each page I try to do something different.  I'm starting to work on some additional pages today.  I hope to post those pics soon too.  It's been some awesome therapy.  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like what I've created.  Till next time....
