Books and Banners

WOW!! It's been a while since I've been on. I have been into reading A LOT!!!! lately lol. I got a NOOK a while back and I can't pull myself away from it. I am currently reading The Mercy ThompsonSeries. It is in the supernatural mix. The werewolves and all. Nice entertaining read. What is everyone into reading right now? I may need new reading material down the road :) Another draw back to the NOOK......How easy it is to buy books ;) I have enough to last me a while.

I have been in an altered mode on the art front lately. Jenn who owns ScrapGal has now opened a Store front. 68 North Main in Cedar City Utah...I made her this banner to put up in the store. I love the bright colors and the contrast of the black and white ribbon. And the packaging from Primas small canvas tabs were the perfect size to backdrop the title. The canvas squares are by Canvas Corp. I used Lime Twist Glimmer Mist on the canvas. I used Little Yellow Bicycle's paper doilies to add depth to the banner they were also altered with glimmer mist. Sunshine and Flower Power. I crocheted the flowers and used Prima to finish it off. TFL :)




Also I wanted to note. I have started putting a watermark on my pictures and projects. PLEASE PLEASE do not be discouraged to use projects on here as inspiration. That is the reason I post a blog, to share ideas and techniques with all of you. :) I put the labels on more for photo protection than anything.

Happy NSD!!!

I spent all day in my room scrapbooking :D Oh heck yeah lol.

Lance and I just had our 10th wedding anniversary WOW lol So I decided to create a LO of our wedding. The Flights Of Fancy Collection was perfect for a wedding LO. I sprayed the two large flowers with Spring Rain and Sea Glass Glimmer Mist. The other Glimmer color used was Vintage Pink.




Now this month at www.ScrapGal.com we are showcasing Jenni Bowlin and Maya Road. So make sure you head over to the forum to join in on the fun.


We are also having a scavenger hunt. A photo scavenger hunt, to hell practice your photo skills as well as generate more scrappy inspiration :D There is a ScrapGal Gift Card up for grabs!!!

I hope everyone has made something today and took time out of their busy schedule to create art. Hugs All

So Much I Want To Share :)

Projects, projects I love em all :) First I want to share a Video Tutorial I did over on ScrapGal's Blog today. A fun great way to use those new Tim Holtz dies. Please swing by and let me know what you think. And if you follow the tutorial, I would love to see the creations you make.

Next National Scrapbook Month is coming upon us MAY 1ST!!!! Tattered Angels will have some fun going on and we would love to see you there. Stop by the BLOG on the first and check out the fun!



Speaking of tattered Angels I was lucky enough this month to work with BOTH of my Favorite companies EEEEK. Tattered Angels AND Prima. They work soo well together. I got to work with the Donna Downey/Prima aprons. I LOVE it!!!


On the Apron I started first with Versa Mark stamped image of the Prima foam stamps. The versa Mark allowed certain elements of the glimmer mist to adhere. And resisted others. The colors I used were Indian Corn, Sunshine, And Wheatfields. The large flowers were made from Prima canvas paper and Indian Corn sprayed in the middle. With a Prima Center.


On this LO I used all of the same colors of Glimmer Mist. Using one of the Fanciful Glimmer Screens to create the background on canvas. The large yellow flowers were altered using Saffron Glimmer Glaze and Rockin On Sunshine Glimmer Glam. I then sprayed them with Wheatfields. I cut a Glimmer Glass swirl to accent around the flowers.



For the last project I used an unfinished wood frame. I took the Large Notes from the Garden Stamp, stamped it and heat embossed the image with UTEE. Then sprayed the frame with Coffee Shop and Vintage Pink. The roses on the page were altered with Viva Pink. The TA Dragonfly and Frame were both sprayed with Viva Pink and Vintage Pink.

UTEE may just become a new best friend of mine :)
