Splash into July with Paper Secrets!

Hello All! Can you believe that we are well in to the month of July already?? Crazy right!! Well at least that means there is another beautiful sketch over at Paper Secrets, created by the super talented Kelly Holifield just for all of you! 

July 1st Challenge:

Word: SPLASH

Now remember you must include items, colors, brands, etc. beginning with each of the letter of the word - SPLASH. You must use a different item for each letter ( for example you CAN NOT use white cardstock to represent "w" and "c" as "w"hite & "c"ardstock).  Please note in your blog write up what items you used.

Now lets take a look at my take on Kelly's beautiful sketch:

                                                            S-Simple Stories

                                                            P- Paint

Hello All!

This week over at Imaginisce we are are celebrating dear old dad and today its my turn to share! So I thought I would make a sweet little card for my hubby’s breakfast tray. You see every Fathers Day year the girls and I make my husband breakfast in bed, he knows it coming and I’m sure he’s been awake for a while but he plays along. Here is a look at the card.

Products Used: Imaginisce Pattern Papers from the Little Princess & Welcome Spring Collections.American Crafts Cardstock, Thickers & Foam Adhesive, Studio Calico Flower

I hope that I have inspired you to make a special card for the daddy in your life. Now I just have to let my little ladies sign (color) the inside.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Possibility is everywhere!

Hello All! Today its my turn over at Art Anthology!! 

As you may remember I had a canvas prepped for my UStream last month to save on "Dry Time", which worked out great! But let f me with a panel already prepped for a project that I have already created twice! But you know I couldn't let it go to waste so I grabbed my Colorations and started  laying down some amazing color!

After my first layer of color was done I could see a new project coming to life, so I grabbed a bunch of scrap chipboard and started clipping and arranging it on my panel.

With all my flourishes glued in place I applied a rough coat of

 Art Anthology's AMAZING Gesso! 

One more layer of Colorations (Glorious, Juicy & Hottie)

After my mist dried I decided I really wanted my flourishes to pop, 

so I grabbed some Black Leather Jacket (Sorbet) and started painting away. 

After adding some finishing touches  my panel was complete! 

So remember...........

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Here is a peek at the two projects that I completed for Top Dog Dies I hope you will hop on over and share some love..Hint, Hint :)

And just an extra one that I just had to create because this die is just so darn cute!!!
