Be on the lookout for all of the new products hitting the shelves soon.

Mixed Media....Dresser

I picked up a dresser this weekend while we were at Mckinney Trade days, I knew I was going to alter it so it didn't really matter that it was originally pink.



Here are the before pictures.

I picked up some My Minds Eye paper(Miss Caroline) at The Crafty Scrapper this weekend as well. Oh for the love of paper.....What would I do without it?

So here is the completed dresser.....I just need to find some cool handles for the drawers.

Just ignore my daughers hands in the picture...it looks like she's throwing gang signs but she said she's putting on a puppet show. Crazy kid....

 Again ignore the hands...here's the top

and the side....the other side is very simular.

Now I'm off to search for some cool handle's. I plan on using this as a display piece at my next show...that is if someone doesn't buy it. Let me know what you think.

Remember go like my facebook page..I'll ad a button here on the blog as soon as I figure out how.

World Traveler

Today I thought I would share a couple of the recent pages I have done for the Crafty Scrapper design team. I was assigned a few papers from the Reminisce travelogue line and since I have never been to New York (yet) I knew I could count on my world traveling neighbor since she has been twice. I used my silhouette cameo to cut the New York title and the circles on the second page. The products I used from this line if your interested are as follows: Travelogue die cut stickers, Expedition Destination die cut stickers, Paper: Travelogue- journey of a thousand miles, longitude, new york. If you have travel pictures to scrap make sure you check out the travel section at The Crafty Scrapper, they always have a great selection for different destinations.

Design Team Challenge

My first post of the new year, YEAH ME! Just kidding....I really need to get better at keeping up with this thing. It's not like I haven't been creating and I don't have anything to post. I tell myself everyday I need to add a post and then life gets in the way.....and I just forget to do it. I have a post it note on my computer now so hopefully that will help me when I sit down as a reminder to post. We'll see if it works.

I do have a great post for today and to start things off we were givin a challange as the design team at The Crafty Scrapper to use a diecut frame they have at the store for customers to use. I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do but I have the new Pebbles line With Love and I really wanted to use it. So it turned out as a Valentine's theme kinda frame with lots of Maya Road embellishments. Let me know what you think and next time your at the store check out the other neat diecuts they have in the crop room and make something for yourself.

Project Life

Next I wanted to share the first week of  my 2012 Project Life album.

I love Project Life and while some people take a picture a day, I tend to just focus on each month for my album. Since I can't seem to remember to blog on a regular basis it is very unlikely that I can remember to take a picture a day. This year I am going to try to section off my months by weeks. So far so good. There are so many options for this album and the goal is to make it work for you. I have only ordered the page protector pak so far for this year. I plan on ordering an album and one of the core kits to go along with it when I decide which one I want. There are so many ideas and freebies out there on different blogs, I may just use those and not order anything but an album. Here is my Title page and week one.

Christmas Advent Calendar

Well, whether you are ready or not it's almost here......CHRISTMAS!
Can you believe how fast this year has flown by? If you like the cookie sheet advent calendars that you see you will want to join me at The Crafty Scrapper on November 21 at 10:30 am or on November 29th at 6:00pm to make this adorable Christmas decor project. I always make new projects around this time of year to add to my decorations.....this one will be hanging in my kitchen this year.

If you like the December Daily albums you will want to check back in the next day or so when I post this years album.....I am so proud of myself for having all of my base pages completed. I am doing the 6x8 size this year, I did the 8x11 size last year and it turned out to be way to big to handle and of course I never really finished it. Thanks for stopping by!

More Art....

I had a booth at the Kaufman Scarecrow Festival this past Saturday and I have to say I am very happy that I did so well.....but at the same time I am going to be working like crazy this week to make more art because I have another show this weekend at Whitworth Ranch Retreat in Scurry and I don't have enough inventory to fill my booth. I wanted to share a few more pieces I created this past week with you. Most of them have gone to live in new homes but I could easily recreate them if you are interested in one of them.

I have to tell you that some of the pictures are not the best because I had to take them with my phone since I forgot to take pictures on Friday before I packed them all up. I will be busy this week but I will try to post the new stuff before Saturday. Thanks for stopping by!

Artsy Good Time!!

Let me start by saying I AM THE WORST BLOGGER! There it's out and i admit it! I am going to get better and I have made a note to myself to keep this thing updated. Ok, moving on...........
I am going to the Kaufman Scarecrow Festival next weekend and I have been super busy trying to get enough art made to fill the booth. I wanted to share some of the pieces I have ready so far...well most of them are ready, some just need some final touches. I have another show the next weekend so I am kicking it into high gear the next couple of days to ready. If you are local I hope you come out and see them in person.  All of the She Art is inspired by Christy Tomlinson.
