Beautiful Laugh, You Lift Me Up...Mixed Media

Hey there hump day buddies! :) 

I have been delving more into mixed media lately and decided to create a

hanging using some modeling paste and a Clear Scraps Wing page from the album. 

 If you head to the CS blog today there is actually a step by step instruction set! :)

 I absolutely love this! 

The photo of Justice laughing makes my heart melt! Go check out the instructions :)

Have a great day friends. 

Memories Display Plate

Well it's already Tuesday and I have 2 sick boys...

I had a feeling with how much we were gone this weekend...

For the March Kit it came with a beautiful Acrylic Circle Album 

which I took one page off to make a "Display Plate" 

I was going through old photos and found these of my boys...

 It was when they were TINY babies and I wanted to display 

them in my living room so I created a plate. 

This kit was incredible!

Art Is Heart Acrylic Mixed Media Clipboard

Hello friends, and welcome Monday (not really LOL)

I have a fun NEW CHA release to share again, a brand new 

Clear Scraps Acrylic Clipboard that I turned into a Mixed Media Art piece 

for my crafting room. Really I just wanted to experiment with some

mediums with the Mascils. 

So I found out that if you want to use water based acrylic crackle paint

which I use reg acrylic paint on acrylic all the time no problem but the 

crackle paint flies off into a million pieces, so you have to seal it when you put it on WET, 

then I added more paint because of all the flaking, but in the end

I love it! :) 

 I did the Bokeh with the Krylon spray paints again only this time I 

did it all on the back in layers! :) 

 Then added the texture to the front and embellishments. 

It's girl and love-y like me...

I love art and everyone who creates it is just beautiful working with

their hands and creativity, so it's all good people!!!

Welcome Monday! :) 

Up To No Good!

Hey there again! 

I had so much fun with my mini album from last week I decided to take this

old book box I had from Michaels on clearance for .50 and make a project

using the leftovers from my Xyron, DCVW goodness. 

I love how it turned out, no lie I am obsessed with coral lately! :) 

And the coordinating burlap and corrugated paper from DCVW just makes me smile. 

I added some Blumenthal Lansing buttons over the corrugated paper.
I really just had fun with it all!
Products Used:

Xyron Teresa Collins Adhesive Kit, Xyron Adhesive Dots, Xyron Mega Runner, 

DCVW Chalk Art Paper Pad, and DCVW Corrugate Mat Stack, Blumenthal Lansing buttons, 

, Krylon Spray Paint, ingenuity and creativity!

Quick Quotes Wings......Believe

Good morning again friends and welcome to another lovely Quick Quotes project!

I am excited to share this wall hanging I created for a friend who has a

beautiful beach house and I thought it would be fun to make a handmade house

warming gift for her and her family. 

The Serendipity 300 papers were so gorgeous I had to use them.

I ran the chipboard wings through my Xyron and covered them with

Serendipity 300 trimming off all the edges. 

 Then I added the gemstones and crystals. 

I hot glued the wings together. 

After that I added the Calypso 500 page to cut out the 

Achieve, Dream, Imagine, Believe.

 Then I added the ribbons and flowers for that soft beachy feel. 

 This paper is stunning in person and make's a beautiful project!

I have so enjoyed being the guest designer for QQ and hope you enjoyed my quirky

sense of style and creativity. 

Until next time- Keep on creating!

Art...Pinky Style That Is...

Hey there!

It's Monday and I am in my craft room but before I share my projects

from this week, I wanted to share a project I created a couple weeks ago. 

This canvas I altered. 

 For the canvas itself I spray painted it with Krylon Gold paint.

Then I painted over it using the Clear Scraps Spiral Dots mascil

with pink Krylon paint- I know it sounds like an odd combo but I love it. 

 Then I took some paper and my Xyron Adhesive Dots, and I created all

these flowers. They are Samantha Walker Cuts- with my Cameo.

(The butterflies too!).

 After that I glittered the Clear Scraps Frame, used my Xyron Teresa Collins

Adhesive Kit to adhere the glitter. 

Then I took my Connie Crystal strands and hot glued them on the canvas. 

For the word ART I used Maya Road Chipboard and I inked it with 

Clearsnap copper and Teal inks to make it look rusted. 

Then when I was completely done I misted the project lightly 

with gold and pink paints. 

I love it. It was fun to make and very therapuetic!

Happy Monday friends! :)
