little shopping

When I was out shopping the other day came accross these gems. Tule and burlap ohhhh so excited to try making flowers and glimmer misting!!! so stay tuned in to see what I come up with..

Part 2 Spring time Creation

Spring is finially coloring my house inside (not to much on the outside) waiting for the lawn to dry up a bit so we can get out and rake up the mess old man winter left behind.
handmade paper flowers are so fun to create I can't seem to stop.....on the bottom of this flower is a layer of tule....love it!!!
Next I created this bird from chipboard, a flower punch from a coffee flitter and glimmer misted!! yummie color, I folded glued together to form a wing, and rolled matching paper for a little rose bud.

sorry way to blurry, I did the same with the butterfly as I did for the bird.

Sorry for not very good pics of this Spring Banner, I had a hard time fitting it all in. This banner matches my Easter Egg wall art in my last post.

Can't believe that Easter is only two weekends away, boy it's really early this year, I am so happy my house is decorated ready......now on to making the Girls outfits for Easter.

Spring time Creation

Easter is right around the corner, and for some reason I don't have any decoration to hang in my house. So I decided to create a litlle something to hang on my window....

love the springy colors

handmade flowers with punches and rolling paper to form little roses....love making these so much I can't seem to stop....

Junk Love Workshop

Here is my Fall Women's Retreat Workshop project that we will be creating. Called "Junk Love" Wearable Art: called Wristlets or Cuffs which every your prefer.....

Creating this with items found at flea markets, antique stores, grandmothers attic...blending in with new fabrics, scrapbooking paper, beads and much more....

When your done wearing the Wristlet, attach to a brad on a picture frame and it turns into adorable wall art...

Vintage buttons, and trims!! Handmade rolled roses made out of fabrics so easy and chic to make...adds just the right touch.

Scrappin Good Weekend

Welcome March!! thanks for the lovely fluffy white gift this morning, I love it so beautiful, not fun to drive in but so good to look at while you stay in where it's warm and create all day.

Here is a couple of layouts I made last night for my weekend scrappin (in my living room to drive my husband crazy I have a studio but no tv in there) he is ready to buy me one. Yes

The layouts I used Bo Bunny paper and stickers, stamp... and distress inks by Tim Holtz. And of course Tattered Angels Glimmer mist......have to mist something... chipboards, gems.

the girls building the first snowman of 2009 snowfall-he is not there anymore, when the men brought the new furance in they kicked him off his step....sad but funny.....with the snow falling today the girls can build another little guy....maybe he will be a little bigger....enjoy the snow if it's fallen your way!!!!

Scrappin

Last week I got together with my friend Kat for an afternoon of scrapbooking, we had so much fun, it's a blast to find some time and scrap together, you can bounce ideas off each other and share inspiration.

creative mess and diet coke.....and here is my friend Kat sharing her birthday layout! awesome...

here is me and a layout of my daughter Olivia my handmade flowers using dictionary paper, tattered angels glimmer mist.. ohhh I love them....

Finally we have a little snowflakes coming down, even though I am ready for spring it's way to early here in the North Country. Wow a week sure has flown by, on Sunday we went to pick up our daughter from a college weekend trip, then with school, award nights, drama and play practice and working part time my life is full.....teenagers can keep you running.
Last night we had a scrapbooking sketch class and I will be sharing my layout with you later, (my daughter had to take my camera to school today) so no pics yet. Later I promise.

A homemade flower: the bottom flower was made out of two circles then I sliced small thin strips for petals not all the have to the center, glimmer mist several times. Love the way it turned out. The center flower was made from old dictionary paper, scallop punch (stampin up) with a brad to hold all the 8-10 layers, glimmer mist again!! whoola!! handmade flower....
