Spring...It's Coming Right?

Hey there friends, I know it's the dead of winter, which

I enjoy all seasons but I had a lot of fun creating this Brand New Release

for CHA 2016, the Vertical Expressions by Clear Scraps. 

They have WINTER and SUMMER as well of course. 

For those one I used one of the new Mascil/Stencils and painted on the

front of it with Krylon. On the back I graduated the paint in several colors. 

I also added the Butterfly Mixers from Clear Scraps. I love spray painting shit!

Krylon is definitely my GO TO. 

I have fodun spray paint to be so versatile for crafting 

in the scrapbooking world. I am not sure why more people don't

try it? I mean it works great on scrapbook paper too, it

never been the papers, and you can do cool designs. 

Some of the mists and sprays end up drinking everything...not spray paint! 

This is the BOMB! LOL I am so on it. 

Happy Monday friends. 

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! :)

~Keep Hoping~

Good morning and happy hump day my friends, 

I have a project to share today, I missed yesterday due to 

being at the doctor with my son who is still battling these stitches!

In this week of such tragedy I can think of no better time to post this project

or just to hang it in my house to remind me that there is indeed HOPE.

 I am sure we all know someone who needs to feel love and hope,

I know I have incredibly low days where haters just try to hurt me because

they are so sad with their own lives they focus on mine instead of living

their own, and I just have to remember to keep HOPE alive. :) 

I created this 13" wide wall hanging using the April 2013 Kit From 

Creating Made Easy- it was a wonderful kit to work with.

I hope you all have a very blessed day and thanks for stopping by~

Don;t forget my latest class! :) 

My Creative Classroom Class beginning on 

May 1st.

It is ONLY 14.00! :)

~Fluttering By In Color~

Good morning my friends, 

I have been obsessed with clean, simple, and a rainbow of colors lately! 

I saw this butterfly stamp in the Spring Medley stamp set from Avocado Arts

and had to use it...in rainbow! LOL

This is a beautiful and versatile set!  I love it. 

 Here is a close up of my sherbet flavored butterfly trail. 

Now head out and see what the rest of the amazing team has designed! :)
