A Jillian Vance Design ~ Tooth Fairy Ensemble

I am so very excited and honored to be a Guest Designer for Jillian Vance!!!  I have always adored her stamps.  It's been a pleasure to get to know her and see her at each CHA show.  Her story is inspirational and you are going to be blown away when you hear that she started designing stamps at the age of 10!!

You can read about Jillian Vance Here.  She is such a brilliant young entrepenuer and if you're a paper crafter or mixed media artist, I hope you will support her by visiting the Jillian Vance Website and buying truck loads of her stamps!

She has created so many fabulous stamps, it's really hard to choose my favorite.  But today I'm going to show you the Tooth Fairy Stamp Set.

The Tooth Fairy Stamp Set has so many fun stamps in it and is so versatile!  My youngest daughter Mackenzie Hope just lost a tooth, and this stamp set was the perfect inspiration for my project today.

I created a Tooth Fairy Ensemble to share with you today!! A Card, A Tooth Box and Tooth Fairy Dust! This was so much fun to create!  Here is a sneak peek of the ensemble for you......

Please make the jump over the Jillian Vance Blog by clicking on the link to see the entire project and visit her website.

It would mean the world to me.

Tattered Angels Analogous Colors Paris Card

I have a sneak peek of a Tattered Angels project to show you.....but first, I thought I'd share some of my photos.

I am so very blessed to get to spend a glorious weekend with my family.  We were able to soak in the hot springs and then have a picnic on the mountain.  The sunset was even better, but I didn't get a photograph of that unfortunately.  The fall colors were amazing and it was so warm and beautiful.

We were up in the Medicine Bow National Forest, near Ryan Park.  It was breathtaking.

I love how the photo of Aaron and I turned out.....and the silly family photo is pretty hilarious too.  Maybe we'll use that for our Christmas Cards this year. lol

So, here's my sneak peek of my Tattered Angels Blog project.

The color wheel was our theme, and I chose analogous colors that reminded me of the mountain sunset.  There's lots of photo's and a tutorial for you over on the Tattered Angels blog.  

Please make the jump over and leave a comment on the Tattered Angels Blog!

Hugs and thanks so much for stopping by!

Spellbinders Grand Labels Fall Card

I have another video to share with you!  This one I created for Spellbinders Paper Arts for Jo-Ann's Craft Stores.  I'm really having so much fun creating these videos.

 

I hope you like it.  This is one of my favorite types of cards to create.  I love to gatefold Spellbinders Grand Labels and tuck a manilla shipping tag inside.  I also adore creating metal foil embellishments.  

Here's a few shots of the finished project...

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Let me know what you think, and I'd love to hear your suggestions about future video projects or certain supplies you would like to know how to use.

Cheers to Sandi and Jerry

Today I wanted to show you a quick project that I created.  It's an altered Gift Bag featuring an Ombre affect, using various shades of the color purple to create a color progression.  It is absolutely one of my favorite techniques using Tattered Angels paint products.

I created this Ombre Style Wine Bag to give to my dear friends Jerry and Sandi Parks.

They were high school sweethearts, who have found each other again.  They were married recently on a beach in St. Lucia.  It's rather a romantic tale, and I'm so very happy to be attending their wedding reception tonight.  I can't think of two people more deserving of this happy occasion.  Friends and family will share a toast to them and celebrate their happiness. Don't you just adore a good love story?!!!  (Swoon)

So here's a few tips on how I created this Ombre Wine Bag for this fabulous couple......

I used Resplendent Rectangles by Spellbinders Paper Arts and die cut Script Paper by Canvas Corp.  Then I misted with Blackberry Cordial, Pop Rocks, Lavender Fields and Spring Violet Glimmer Mist.  I used a heat gun to dry the panel.  Then I cut out the word LOVE from Canvas Corp patterned paper using Back to Basics die templates and painted Purple Passion Glimmer Glaze along the edges.  I cut/embossed Jewel Flowers and Flourishes die template using Canvas Corp patterned paper and then misted and painted with Tattered Angels Paint Products.  I added some bling to the die cuts.

I poured Puple Passion Glimmer Glaze onto a non-stick craft sheet, then rolled my brayer in it, coating it evenly.  I rolled the Glimmer Glaze loaded brayer onto my stamp and immediately stamped onto the kraft colored wine bag.  I did this twice at the top and bottom of the bag and allowed it to dry.

That's all there is to creating a Tattered Angels Ombre Style Wine Bag for that perfect couple!

Please join me in toasting to Sandi and Jerry and sending prayers and lots of positive energy to the happy couple.  See....dreams really do come true.

Love you both so much!!

Thanks for stopping by tmy blog today and for letting me share a little of my excitement.
