Sunshine ATC with Silks Glaze

This is an ATC that I made!  It started as a piece of canvas... which has grown to an obsession with Silks Acrylic Glazes!  If you do not have them, then you should pick up a color and see what I'm talking about.  They go an amazing with a foam brush, you can stencil, paint chipboard, etc.  I used the yellow sunshine glaze on the canvas with a stencil.  It goes on like butter!

These are what I'm talking about!  I'm starting my collection!  Definitely recommend picking some up in you are into Mixed Media or Altered Art.

Next class at the Paper Niche

My next class is next Monday night the 22nd at the Paper Niche!  It's from 6pm-9pm and you will create this beautiful fall album book with lots of room for pictures!  You will learn some neat techniques for distressing chipboard.  The book is full of texture and details :)  I'd love to have you join in!  I'm not sure how many spaces are left, but make sure you sign up!  Hope to see you there!!

Finally got to Scrap!

Well today I finally got to scrap!  I was looking forward to it all week, it has been ages since I've gotten to do anything in my room!  All I wanted was to spend the entire day shut-in my craft room... of course that didn't happen until like 3:30pm, but I did get quite a few things done tonight!

I turned to some of my favorite challenge blogs for inspiration, so first up is this layout I made for a sketch challenge up at Pretty Little Studio :)

I hand cut the fence as well as the hexagons, I totally need a hexagon punch!  I am also using this for My Pink Elephant, I was totally excited to see that they decided to start up again!  It was one of my favorite blogs like 2 years ago :)

Next Up is a Creative Scrappers sketch!  This one was a lot of fun,  the papers and stuff actually came from a kit I got at the Paper Niche at Crop Pink, but I scrap single page 8x8 so I had to re-design it :)

 

Moving right along :)  I dabbled a bit in Halloween, although I did get Halloween burnt-out designing kits for the Paper Niche... They are almost sold out!  This is for Paper Issues, it's nothing fancy, but I have been trying to figure out how to scrap this picture :)  So win!

 

I used a DCWV halloween stack from last year and some Jolee's stickers :)  Totally loving it!  I am almost done, I promise, my husband is yelling at me to come to bed! haha!

The next one is for the ScrapRoom blog!  Another Sketch challenge!  This one was fun!  I am very happy with how it came out!

It's so fresh, the stickles haven't even finished drying! :)  Well I hope you all enjoyed my layouts!  I actually have more to share, but I'll save it for later in the week!  Happy Monday!!!!

Just a card...

Everything that I have been working on lately is top secret :)  So I made this card tonight for The Graphic 45 10 minute card challenge, so I figured I'd share it with everyone to let them know that I'm still here :)  I do have some pictures of Julia's 9th birthday party to post as well, but I'll save those for another day :)  I really did make this in under 10 minutes!

Paper Niche July Kit Projects

These are just some of the things I've created using the Paper Niche July Kit!  The kit is packed with loads of yummy papers and embellishments!  The First thing I made was this altered photo frame using the yummy lace that came in the kit.

 Here is the next project that I made, it's actually a 12x12 page (go me!) and that's my hubby at Sloppy Joe's in Key West.

 The next project I made is a mini notebook.  I used some chipboard and cut it down to 4x6.  Used the very yummy authentique papers and then put the book together with that yummy canvas ribbon.

 This is the last project that I did.  Another 12x12 layout of me and my hubby at the southern most point in key west!
