As for me I did something a bit different this month and it was fun! 
Plus my kiddos got a sweet little turtle necklace out of it.

I just love this months new release but my favorite is the Swirl Turtle!

While I was cleaning my craft room I found a pack of Shrinky Dinks. 

So I thought I would put them to use :)

I started by stamping my Swirl Turtle with Staz On Ink.

Next I added a bit of color with my stash of colored pencils.

And after they were baked, they were the perfect size 

for a necklace so I added a bit of beads.

And there you have it easy peasy and fun too!

Now lets take a better look at the New Release Stamp I Used ..

Hello Everyone!

Today I wanted to share an amazing stamp from Technique Junkies..

 Last Breath .....

As you can see its perfect for today.

So I thought I would take a quite moment and spend a 

moment reflecting and creating, a simple card.

 It's so easy to get distracted from the true meaning of today...

Thank you Pat for the reminder to remember all those gave it their all.

Hello All!

Last month I attended a couple classes with the Finnabair, which left me super hyped up on collage projects! So today I am sharing a little mixed media canvas that I have been working on this month. I had so much fun working on this, heck I even made a video documenting my process..... 

But sadly my laptop was infected and I was unable to recover the video... Sorry maybe  next time.

Anyhow here is my latest canvas....

Products Used:  Prima -Relics and Artifacts, Art Stones, Glass Glitter, Ingvild Bolme Resin Embellishments,  Finnabair Mechanicals, Art Alchemy Acrylic Paint ,Finnabair - Art Alchemy Metallique Wax.  7 Dot Studio Sticker.  Creative Embellishments Chipboard.  Lindys Stamp Gang Magical Shakers.  Primary Elements. Glitter & Wire.

A few close ups just for fun..

After painting my flame with Art Alchemy Acrylic Paint I added just a touch of glitter for just a bit more of a sparkle.

My last step was to add just a touch of Finnabair's  

Art Alchemy Metallique Wax. As you can see it makes all the little details pop.

Thank you for stopping by today!

I hope that I have inspired you to create something today!
