JustRite Stampers Guest Designer! Butterfly Card

It has been a dream come true to be a JustRite Stampers Guest Designer!!  What an honor.  I'm still pinching myself.  JustRite makes the most beautiful stamps.  They have some amazing background stamps.  Be sure to check them out.  I know you will love them!

For my 3rd and final project as a JustRite Guest Designer, I used the Harlequin Script Background Stamp.  It is divine!  I love the look of using embossing powder and heat embossing on black paper.

 

Here is a sneak peek my new Butterfly Card.

JustRite Guest Designer! Travel Mini Album

Woohoo! ~ It's Day 2 of being a Guest Designer for JustRite Stampers!!!  I don't know about you, but I love to travel. I create so many wonderful memories and want to document them.  So, I am forever making mini albums.

JustRite has created some of the most amazing background stamps!  The Vintage Map Collage Background Stamp is perfect for a Travel Album.  There is so much depth, and so many areas to color and embellish to any theme.

Here is a sneak peek of my 2nd project ~ Travel Mini Album.  

Please hop on over to the JustRite Stampers Blog to see the entire album!

You won't be dissapointed I promise.  It's one of my favorite projects.

I've used brand new Nina Brackett Want2Scrap Bling, new Theresa Collins patterned paper, new Bo Bunny Mini Album, Spellbinders die templates of course and some lovely fluid chalk ink by Clearsnap as well.

Speaking of travel.....I was fortunate enough to enjoy another trip with Spellbinders to Phenoix, AZ!  I'll tell you all about that in another post.

JustRite Guest Designer! Life is Better With Friends...

I am so very excited that I will be a JustRite Guest Designer for the next three days!  They make the most beautiful intricate stamps.  Kellie Fortin, is such a wonderful person, and I was over the moon excited to create for her.  I love playing with their new background stamps.

Tattered Angels Inspiration

It feels like spring around here.  The snow has melted and the sun shines longer each day. Spring is a time for renewal.  I have been clearing off my plate, giving up some obligations, and finding my artist soul again.  It's amazing the enjoyment, the ideas and the inspiration that comes from feeling free again.  I always get the freedom to create my hearts desire when I create art for Tattered Angels.  I absolutely love that!

Here are sneak peeks of three projects I created for Tattered Angels! 

Please hop on over to the Tattered Angels Blog to see each of the full projects!

 

First up is a layout I created using the new Plain Jane Simply Sheer in Teal and Shade.  I am sooooo loving these new colors.  I altered a piece of premium craft foil with Spellbinders M-Bossabilities as well.

I also used French Vanilla Chalkboard Mist, Chandelier Glimmer Glam and a new Tattered Angels Stencil.  Island Spring was used for the coffee ring marks.  I just can't get enough of these products!

I love these mini tart tins by Jenny Bowlin.  I cut out pieces of Canvas Corp paper, and misted them with Vanilla Breeze Glimmer Mist and Gravel Baseboard Plain Jane.  I also misted Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms die cuts with Plain Jane Simply Sheer Teal.  I floated them in Ice Resin and applied Art Glitter to the edges.  I really loved how they turned out.  Such a fun look.

I have always wanted to create a photo collaged bottle.  I have seen several different kinds.  I loved making this so much, I think I'll make several more!  This one is a recycled juice bottle!

I filled it with seashells, tulle and a photo.  I altered the outside of the bottle using Plain Jane Simply Sheer Teal on the ribbon and Chandelier Glimmer Glam on the bottle top.  I want to create an entire row of these!

I hope I have inspired you today.  Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by my blog today!

 

PS - I wanted to let you know that I have emailed the winner of my blog giveaway, but never heard from them.  So, I'm drawing a new winner!!

The Journey Card

I'm so honored to work with Becky Fleck Page Maps.  I must confess, I have never used a sketch to create a project.  I wasn't sure about the process at first.  But, I also found that I really enjoyed the process!

Here is the sketch that Becky created.  Isn't it lovely?!

 

Here is my take on the sketch.

I found that using a sketch really helps take out a lot of the design time.  I literally spend hours designing and re-arranging elements sometimes.  So, if you want to create something in a short amount of time, and just enjoy the finished product...you really should try sketches.  Thanks for the opportunity Becky!

 

Don't forget I am having a give away!  I'm giving away a set of Spellbinders Wings of Hope die templates and a Spellbinders CHA t-shirt (size L)!

All you have to do is make sure you follow my blog in a reader or by email subscription and you are automatically entered to win!  You have until March 10th at midnight MST!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

 I included a few shots from the inside pages.  There is a complete article that goes along with this.  It was so fun and I'm so grateful.  I downloaded the Papercraft Inspirations app on my iphone too!  

 I used loads of Spellbinders die templates, Impressabilities and their premium craft foil, WorldWin Paper, Rubber Cafe stamps and Glimmer Mist. 

Create and Decorate Easter Basket ~ This was a really fun project.  I used Spellbinders die templates, Graphic 45 paper, Waltzing Mouse Stamps, old book pages and lots of Glimmer Mist.
