Advent fun with Pebbles!

Today I am up up over on the Imaginisce blog sharing a quick and easy way to share Advent with your family. I created this calendar using a dollar bin frame and a bit of Pebbles -Home for Christmas Collection. 
I started by creating the base just, as you can see its just a bit of cardstock with  some stitches added.

Next I added it to my frame and added my Advent Cards that are just Pebbles 

Countdown Banner with my added notes on the back. (here is the link I used for the my Advent verses http://happyhomefairy.com/2010/11/30/bible-verse-advent-cards-free-printables/) 

Finally I added a bit of decoration and Bling.

And there you have it a fun easy way to count down to Christmas & share Advent with your family.

Thanks so much for stopping in today!

Muse Altered Artist & Muse Orient Express Stamps.

Next I added a bit of shine and texture using my Copper Metal Effects & a new AA stencil.

 I kept I adding color with a bit of shine by adding a thin coat of 

Sorbet over my layer of mist. 

A bit more stamping :) 

I just had to use my new favorite stencil & with some Raider!

A bit of Gesso to add some contrast....

Pieces of you everywhere

Hello All! Today Its my turn over on the Art Anthology Blog and I'm sharing my Breast Cancer Awareness project. This project is near and dear to my heart. 

My canvas is filled with lots of tiny pieces that remind me of my grandmother and her relentless strength. She truly was an amazing woman who fought breast cancer and won! But now she is gone and I am left with her memory, which I find everywhere.  For example this rose that I ran across at the zoo last year. 

As you can see I built the picture up by using a piece of cardboard that I painted white using a bit of Art Anthology Gesso.

 And lots more pretty flowers, my grandma just loved flowers I guess I know where I get it from :) 

I felt my flowers needed a  bit more pink so I added a bit of color to using Art Anthology Colorations Spray and a paint brush.

With music notes and lots if glitter from Art Anthology's Dimensional Crystal my grandmothers personality really shines through.

Lastly I added  just a small message that says really says it all....

So as I said before this canvas is near and dear to me and I truly enjoyed making it. I hope that you enjoyed it too. Thank you so much for stopping by today!
