Miracle Star-Wow Embossing Indeed

Hello everyone and Happy Back to School Week. This year, our little girl is in Kindergarten 3 days a week, so I've got a little me time to do things. Yesterday was her first day, and she absolutely LOVED it. Gotta love when your children love school, and we are so blessed to have both of them in that mind set.

Today, I'm sharing with you a project I created for the Wow Embossing Powders blog and I truly think it is my favorite project to date. I created it using a lot of double embossing and I think it will become our new tree star for Christmas. If you want to see more of the project and see what supplies I used, hop on over to the Wow Embossing Powder blog to see.

Here is the finished products using Wow Embossing Powders, May Arts ribbons, Helmar adhesive and Basically Bare pieces.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I would love to hear what holiday decoration around your home, you love the most.

Also, there is a education team call going on right now on the Helmar blog and a great friend Susan Weckesser, has a design team call up now too.

Until next time

Unique layout using Momenta and Basically Bare

Good Morning everyone. I've started the long process of redoing my entire studio and holy doodle batman, I've got a LOT of STUFF!!!! I've decided that I'm going to do Pinks/black/white and yellow. Should be a very happy place when I'm done.

Today I am sharing with you a layout I created using some beautiful papers from Momenta and 2 pages from the Betty's Brackets album from Basically Bare. This layout was so much fun to create and I adore the way that lacing adds to the texture.

I used a great mask from Crafters Workshop and some molding paste and once it was dry, I embellished the design with Dew Drops from The Robins Nest.

The chipboard piece for the title is also a Basically Bare piece and the sticker is from Momenta. It didn't go with the rest of the layout, so I actually colored it with Copics to get a perfect match.

Here is the finished layout. Easter Bunny and our daughter!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you have a fantastic day. By the way, if you have a moment, stop by this amazing blog to see some serious eye candy today!!! Cat is one of my absolute favorite artists out there. Her water color projects are breathtaking!!!

Until next time

Momenta Butterfly Garden Layout and Fussy Cutting

Pastels are a huge trend right now. You can see them in Fashion, Home Decor and Paper crafting. When I received my latest design team products from Momenta, The Butterfly Gardens paper stack screamed at me. Well since it is filled with butterflies, maybe it was more like a soft whisper, but you know what I mean lol.

Today I am going to share with you a layout I created using the Butterfly Garden Paper pad, Butterfly Embossed Cardstock messages and Butterfly Mini Puffy Icon Stickers. The combination was perfect for a very girly layout of our little girl in her favorite pink jacket.

I also used a sentiment sticker from the My Style Puffy Stickers sheet to tie in the big fabric flower. Here are a few photos of the layout for you.

I did a lot of fussy cutting with the papers to create embellishments and the flowers and butterflies are great to do this with. 

 I also added a little Rock Candy Distress Stickles to the pieces I fussy cut, to give them a little blingage.

 Here is the complete layout. Everything has been adhered using Helmar Adhesives and I added a little distressing to the edges of the layout.

That is it for me today. I hope you all have a great weekend. Tomorrow, I'm going to select a winner for my small blog candy that I have so if you haven't entered , you can find the post HERE.

Until then

Robins Nest Blog Hop- Earth Day

Hello everyone and welcome to the Earth Day Blog hop, featuring all the wonderfully talented designers from The Robins Nest. Today you are going to see some amazing projects all about the earth, up cycling and recycling.

If you just stopped in, please hop on back to the Chattering Robins Blog and start from the beginning. If you have been following along, you should have hopped here from Terri Sprouls Blog.

Today I have a plaque to share with you that I was just about to throw out. It was a horrible green color and didn't go anywhere in our home. But when our daughter found out what it said, she asked very nicely if I could "craft it up"!!! How could I refuse.

First off, I started by painting the entire surface with White and Black Gesso. Once dried, I added the beautiful Glitter Black and White Swirl paper as well as the pretty pink Princess Card Stock using Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.

After this, I painted the bottom panel with Glimmer Glam and adorned the entire piece with Petunia Dew Drops. I added a few super sweet chipboard pieces and this trash turned to a treasure for our little girl. Recycle or Up Cycle, she absolutely loves it!

Here is a photo of the finished piece. We saved Mother Nature today a little, by recycling something that otherwise would have ended up in the landfill.

Make sure you leave a comment here today because you could win some goodies from The Robins Nest. Now hop on over to Clare Dempsey's Blog, where you will find a beautiful project as always. The list for the hop order can be found below. Thanks for stopping by today.

Until Next time
