Hello my crafty friends~





     This week has been flying by for me. It has been extremely busy and I have been trying to get things ready for the new 2013-2014 school year for my daughter Gia. For my new followers, I homeschool my daughter and we are embarking on another wonderful year entering the 5th grade. Boy do I remember her being born and 5th grade already! What I enjoy the most about teaching her is the quality time and the bond we have. I wouldn't trade that in for the world!! Ok enough of my rambling on about mushy stuff LOL.

Today I have a quick canvas project to share with you that I did on Sunday evening. I was starting to feel a bit better and knew that I had missed getting creative so I sat down at my desk and the first thing that caught my eye were my Faber-Castell Gelatos. So I pulled out a 6x6 canvas block and then started to just pull stuff out and here are the supplies I ended up using.

 

I started off with a blank canvas and started with my gelatos first. I used various colors of blues/purples and gray to create a background using my fingers and some stencils, specifically circles and chevrons. From that point on, I just got very inky and messy as I pulled out some of my homemade glimmer mists and sprays from Tattered Angels. I pulled out some tickets from Tim Holtz, some die cuts from SEI and a nice manila tag and then started going to town on just creating and making an ENORMOUS mess! LOL .... so after the initial mess of spray, ink and gelatos... and some additions of charms, enamel dots, stickles, mesh, artist spackle, glaze and mod podge..

.. here is my final project.

 

 

Well that is my project for today! I really hope you enjoyed it and

thanks so much for stopping by!

Until next time.... enjoy life's blessings~

Personal Challenge Week 8

Good Morning my friends!

     I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Mondays seem to come around too fast for me! I must say though, that I had a great weekend and spent a good portion of it in my craft room. I want to thank many of you for your wonderful emails about my first haul video. You are all so kind to me and I appreciate having such wonderful friends. =)

Okay so on to week 8's personal challenge with Kellie. This was Kellie's week to come up with the challenge and she challenged us to use stencils with stamps. It just so happens that I had a stencil from the Mr. Huey's line from Studio Calico, that I had not opened yet. Well it's opened now! LOL

This stencil resembles a chain link or trelis chain and I just loved how it turned out.

Here is my card:

 

My card was made using cardstock and papers from Bazzill and Recollections.I taped down my stencil and sprayed it using my Tattered Angels glimmer mists dragonfly, sweet clover and forest green. I loved the color combination of the greens with the blue and the shine it gives.

My sentiment " Believe in Miracles" was stamped in momento tuxedo black ink and this is from a stamp set by Little Yellow Bicycle. I added a three dimensional butterfly sticker by Studio 112 as an added embellishment and finished off the card by adding black buttons in the corners. The buttons are by Favorite Findings.

 

Here is a peek at the inside of the card:

I carried the theme of the card to the inside by adding another butterfly and a button. The sentiment inside, "Faith makes all things possible" is also from the same stamp set by Little Yellow Bicycle.

Well thats my card for week 8's challenge. Please stop on over and visit Kellie to see her beautiful project for this challenge.

Thanks so very much for stopping by!
