Gesso Fun With The Latest Kit!

Hey there friends, I can't believe it's August and time for school again this week. 

So sad our summer is over, but happy I have so many photos to scrap!

This is a layout I created using the August Kit from Creating Made Easy.

It's actually the feature in the kit so each kit will have 

full instructions on how to create this layout and more!

For this one I used Gesso and paint and I love the results. 

Grab your kit before it's gone!

Happy Monday friends. :)

I Will ALWAYS Fight Your Fight

Yes it's another Autism project I created for the month of 

April issue of Scrap N' Art. This one went straight into my son's room. 

This was to remind him that I am always going to go to battle

for him and nothing will ever stop that. 

 So much mixed media on here. 

I am so grateful he loves it. I hope he remembers this always. 

Back From Vacation! W/ Mustache Mini!

 Hey there friends, well it took me a minute but

I am finally back from vacation ad semi- back to normal. (not really).

I have a fun project I created with the brand new 

Creating Made Easy August Kit- this Oh Happy Day album. 

I thought it would be fun to add photos later since my printer hates me these days LOL

 Pretty much everything except the spray paint (Krylon Coral and Black) 

is from the August kit- it's amazing. 

I will have a couple more projects I will be sharing. 

The vintage My Mind's Eye paired with Clear Scraps is just beautiful.

~Mother's Love Mixed Media Canvas~

Good morning my crafty friends, 

I almost forgot to share this Mother's Love Mixed Media canvas! *gasp*

I worked so hard on it too! I made this canvas for Mother's Day

and set it aside and just forgot. It's my first mixed media canvas, I have

never done one before I I LOVE IT! *if I do say so myself*:) 

 I used Buttons Galore & More buttons, Clearsnap Smooch Spritz,
Clearsnap ColorBox Inks

Kaiser Craft doilies, Pink Paislee Press-ons, Plaid Crafts paint. 

 You can find the full instructions on the Buttons Galore Blog right here

 I think I am addicted now, I have visions of altered canvases 

running through  my brain! :) 

 My friend Dolores often makes canvases and now I know why. 

Don't forget to enter the drawing for a Cricut cartridge it was

posted yesterday! :) Tell your friends....

I am off to enjoy the day in the pool I hope....ok maybe not but

a girl can wish right? Then off to watch some baseball. We have

no games but I am going to watch friends (much more fun).

~Monday?? Already? New favorite technique & Giveaway too!~

Good morning, can you believe it is Monday already?

I feel like this weekend shot past me.

I did work on a few projects but most of them are for

my DT work and won't be revealed for a while.

In the mean time I wanted to share my new

favorite technique with y'all.

I made this card using my Cricut Expression,

the Cindy Loo cartridge, Glossy Accents *Ranger*, PK Glitz Glitter,

and paint. But not just any paint!

I have discovered old gummy paint LOL

It is awesome! You can do it my way...or shortcut it.

My way is to use half a bottle of acrylic paint

then leave it for 4 months until it gets gummy

OR you can pour new paint onto a plate, add some

waterbased glue to it (the standard school kind)

let it set for 20 minutes or 1 hour, until it gets gummy

then spread it on your project.

For the best results I use my fingers.

I play with it like plaster. It leave great dimension without

the ugly shine. It will also crack beautifully if you

use a heat gun on it.

What do you think? Fun right?

Ok on to the giveaway, I have sitting here from CHA

2 SIGNED Tim Holtz Embossing Folders!

Yea that's right....Woot Woot!

And as of today we are at 724 followers.

I would love to hit 750 this week, my goal is 1000 by

December for Christmas, I hope anyways.

Come on guys help me out here!
Leave a comment, spread the word! :)

Just a little secret, I am working on getting a

Cricut to giveaway at 1000 followers! So it's going to be BIG! :)

~Happy Monday!!!!!!!!!!~

~A different kind of art for me!~

Good morning, I tried something new last night...a painting class!

To be fair I have never painted before in my life.
I am thinking about making paper lollipop flowers and placing them over the dots
I do not like LOL The dots are taunting me!! I was doing fine until I had to make
circles LOL Also I was thinking of putting some sort of CREATE wording
on it to hang in my craft room? We will see...I am happy with my first painting!~

Also I wanted to share a new site with you, well new to me!!
Let me tell you I fit perfectly there!

but the entire concept is beautiful.
