Fall Mixed Media Acrylic Tag

Hey there friends, well this TAG project taught me a lot! LOL

I tried using this copper paste on  it, but it kept flaking off, I was using the Clear Scraps

Fall Leaves Stencil/Mascil which I love. 

But I had to find a way to keep the paste from flaking, so finally 

I "frosted" the tag by using a file to scratch the surface. After I did that the 

paste stayed on but I was sure to seal it with a clear acrylic spray.

I used Clear Scraps Maple Branch Chipboard Embellishments I painted and 

glittered and added them for more texture. 

Both the Mascil/Stencil were in the September Creating Made Easy Kit Club Kit 

plus a whole bunch of amazing other items!

New Manly Man Stamps!!

Good morning friends, 

it's the 15th and you know what that means?? 

NEW AVOCADO ARTS stamp projects!!

My first one is this very manly man card I used DCVW cork paper

and corrugated paper alone with some Tim Holtz manly ribbon...

SHHH don't call it ribbon! It's a measuring tape!!

Actually I think this one is going to be for Brad my son's graduation so I am excited.
Here is the full stamp set and it's so cool!

And here is a close up of the textures I used.

I used my Xyron adhesives OF COURSE and fun textures all around.

Go check out my other projects on the AA blog today!!

Altered Floral Box Fun With Xyron!

Happy Friday friends, 

I hope you had an amazing week. I was so busy creating this week

and before I headed to Ohio I wanted to share this creation with you. 

I created this altered box that you just might see pop up on TV soon...

well you never know...*wink* LOL 

I was very excited to play with my Xyron box of adhesive and turn

it into this! This box went from this...

TO THIS! A little gold spray paint- some wonderful 

grungy vintage papers, a lot of adhesive and flowers folding. 

A few metal accents later. 

Now how did I turn these flowers into this??

I ungrouped each flower- and sized them from small to large 

then I crinkled and layered them! 

 It really was a fun project and I am very excited to share. 

 I genuinely love my Xyron Adhesives and my digital die cuts!

I hope you love my box as much as I do! 

Happy Friday friends- 

For this project I used: Xyron Adhesives 

(almost every adhesive in the kit PLUS Xyron 1/4" Double Sided Tape)

Samantha Walker Digital Die Cuts 4 Flower Pack, 

Krylon Paint, Connie Crystal Pearls, Vintage Buttons, 

Metal Charms from Momenta, Alcohol Inks, Mister Huey Spritz. 

~CHA NEW RELEASES! + Winner~

Good morning my crafty friends, 

wow I am totally blown away by how big the blog hop

was yesterday and very excited to share just one of the BRAND

NEW Clear Scraps releases for CHA!

I won't be attending this year, we are still recovering from the

holidays and company the last couple weeks. 

BUT I am still crafting :) 

Clear Scraps has these COOL new stencils...I am really digging them. 

For this card I used the Shattered Glass Stencil,

 this card is actually an acrylic card!

I spray painted the BACK of the Clear Scraps acrylic with paint

then on the front I applied paint using a brush and texturizing it.

 Then I sealed it using PYMII. I love the effects. 

I love the artistic feel of these stencils. 

Clear scraps has OODLES of new releases  140+. Be sure to check them out.

~Labor Day, First Unibind Book, Chicken Butts, & A New Reveal~

Good morning my crafty friends....

are you ready for a creative day??
First the crafty stuff then the chicken updates *wink*

I received my Unibind Photobook Creator last week

and could not wait to get started!! I had a couple of

others projects to finish first then I got right to work!

Now my ideas are not the traditional photobook ideas.

I love them but I wanted to get artsy and funky!

This is an art journal book I created for me and all my crafty

friends to play with! I am going to take it to crops

and with me everywhere, allowing my friends and family

to create pages in their own personal style.

It will be a wonderful memory for this time in my life

and something I can go back years from now and look

at, remembering all those amazing friends I have!

I started the first page with stamping and I am going to

write instructions inside for my "artist" friends to begin creating.

I used Jenni Bowlin, MOD PODGE, Tim Holtz, Basic Grey, Smooch Spritz,

Chatterbox, Hambly, even Ruby Rock It rub-ons! :)

So what do you think?? Ready to make your own

Art Journal?? Come on make one! Let me see it!

It's perfect for other scrapbookers!!!

I had to share a few pictures of my chickens

because this week they are finally old enough to be "free range"

we let them out now to hunt and peck, it's so cute!

Aren't their little chicken butts cute?!! hehehe

"psstt did you see that pink haired chick who keeps taking our pictures?"

hehehe the hens cackling.

This is the one who has taken over the "momma" roll

she calls them all back in and calls them when I come out

to feed them, it's SO cute and fun! I loves her!

Let's not forget it is SFTIO reveal week on Pinky's Blog!

Look at these amazing papers! This kit is STUNNING!

It feels so tropical/India/Morocco to me.

I just loved working with it! The layouts design

just flowed like hot chocolate syrup! :)

More of the "Enlightenment" journaling.

I have to say this kit got me thinking for sure!

It was thought provoking and pushed me to really study

my inner thoughts. I love that.

OK we are off to the movies today I think....depends on how

it goes with the kids :) We might have to stay home and do

yard work...now what fun is that?! LOL

~Happy Labor Day~

~Thanks for stopping by and saying hi~

~Love to hear from y'all!~

~It's Monday and I am back! WINNER and more info on TV spot :)~

Good morning!

I had to break myself from the blog this weekend
not by choice but I had 4 VERY sick
boys/men in my house this weekend.

I did manage to sneak away and get
a new top for my TV spot on Tuesday.
I know some of you have asked and here is the info.
http://www.wbko.com/midday
It will be online as well so everyone can see if I look like a fool LOL

Tuesday Midday Live
It says Scrappin' with Scrapbook Village, that's me.
I know it's not national but it should be fun and it's my first TV spot.

If you want to know why I am sharing this
layout...it is the layout we are going to make
IF you happen to be in Kentucky on the 21st
I will be teaching at Scrapbook Village
and yes there will be GIVEAWAYS! :)

And this is the card as well.
Basically I wanted to share a simple card and layout,
so you can play with the new i-rock tool! :)
Plus I wanted to make sure everyone who took the
10.00 class went home with a layout AND a card!

Now I THINK I am coming to the end of my
giveaways, I also think the postman is sick of me! LOL

I have a stack of COLORBOX inks here
and the winner is...

~Revela #5, Winner, and a GIVEAWAY!~

Good morning! I know I know I missed
blogging yesterday. These kids I tell ya LOL
They have worn me out!

I did work on projects yesterday, I am so
excited and I wish I could share them.
Meantime I will share my last reveal for
Scrapbooking From The Inside Out

Don't you just love those little white vinyl letters in the kit?
One thing I love about the SFTIO kits, they always include
at least 3 sets of alphas and that is my biggest pet
peeve with kits...I need my alphas man!

Anyways to the tone of Discovery, while I was
scrapping my layouts I sort of realized that
I am getting better at trusting myself and my instincts!
So this is the layout I made about it...Finally Old Enough.
Now if I could just get rid of the crazy hormones LOL
I would be able to implement my trust every day!

Why do I always get jabbering on the reveal days?
I know you want to see the winner right??

I believe we have a Making Memories Bag and Lanyard!
And the winner is....
