Here is the lo that I came up with. For me, I used the negative space of the bike's handlebars to form a deer. The stars are the deer's antlers.

Christmas canvas!

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share a canvas that I made, for Christmas decoration, using My Favorite Things 'Scallops'  stencil. Love MFT stencils to bits! When I first saw this 'lovely' I thought It would make a wonderful accent in order to make my tree look real....love how the stencil gave it life!

 

 

 

Here's the "Scallops" stencil that I used:

 

 

Yup, I flipped the stencil and voila I had a lovely tree look!

 

Here are some close-ups:

 

 

For the background, I used some vintage book paper and a sewing pattern cover.

 

 

For my tree, I used old ledger paper, which I tinted and then then added the stencil work and more color.

 

 

I topped off the tree with a star made from up-cycled packaging material.

Christmas is around the corner...oh my!

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share a Christmas card that I made for the upcoming Holiday. It's coming fast, so I figured I better get started now! I had the pleasure of my sister's company, this weekend, to make Christmas cards and this is what I came up with. I  used some Tim Holtz die cuts for the trees and dear. Now I just need about 30 more....lol!

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share a lo that I did for the Paperdvizhnik  'hide and seek' challenge. For this challenge, I used a precious moment where our sweet dog was hiding in his blanket and peeked out, just as I took the picture. We challenge you to show us a project that represents the idea  of the game hide and seek.

The red cup!

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share a lo that I made using My Favorite Things "winged beauties" stencil. I thought it was perfect for a happy, upward, steam effect for the yummy pumpkin spice latte that I had, in the first red cup of the Season.

 

 

Here's the stencil:

 

 

Here's a close-up: of the beauties:

 

 

I used modeling paste on one, and twinkling H2O's on the other and then outlined them with a marker.

Texture fun!

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share a project that I made for the latest Paperdvizhnik challenge. This challenge is all about texture. I really had fun with this one! For me, I decided to use an old clipboard that I had. First I added an old vintage music sheet to the background and then I built the clipboard up to where I wanted using gesso, modeling paste, paints, inks, and other vintage goodies that I love. I thought this would be perfect to hang some small items from, in my scrap room.

 

 

Here's the challenge...use texture of any nature:

 

 

 

Here are some close-ups:

 

 

From this pic, you can see that I combined different forms of texture.

And another close-up:

 

 

I invite you to try this challenge...it really is a fun one! And please be sure to stop by our blog to see what the DT has come up with for this...so inspiring!

 

As always, thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Collecting dreams!

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share a project that I made using an awesome My Favorite Things stencil. Love the stencils that MFT has to offer! For this project, I painted on a large envelope, that I received in the mail, and used modeling paste with the stencil. I thought I would use this envelope to collect different ideas and art of mine.

 

 

Here is the stencil that I used:

 

 

Love the look of the large and small square sizes used together.
