It’s All About Flowers with Basically Bare

Hello friends!  Kind of a quick post today because I’ll be off and teaching a class at the RC on Main..check on the right side bar and you’ll see the beautiful frame class!
Basically Bare has the greatest bare products and this album is made using their acrylic flowers, chipboard and cardboard…so versatile and you can stamp them, emboss them, sew on them, paint them…the sky is the limit!  I’d appreciate it if you would take a moment and visit their blog :)  You’ll see more details there!

To Have and To Hold Blog Party

Stephanie of Angelic Accents is hosting a “Wedding Blog Party”!  Be sure to check out all the blogs for lots of inspiration and ooo’s and ahhhh’s! 
Here’s a few of my recent wedding projects.  The first two are mirror projects and the third is a mini album.

Made using Kaisercraft and Heartfelt Creations

Made using Basically Bare products.

And posting today on the Glue Arts Blog is an Acrylic Wedding Album. Glue Arts holds it all together with their Perma Tac!
I made this album using Clear Scraps acrylic scalloped tags and I cut  an acrylic castle using Clear Scraps acrylic sheet and Accucut Castle Die.  GEE!  A lot of recent wedding projects and we don't have any weddings this summer.  LOL!  All the paper and dies on this album are Crate Paper.

Wedding Memory Box with Heartfelt Creations

Good morning friends!  Heartfelt Creations has the most beautiful new release and it’s all about weddings.  I altered this 4”x4” wooden hinged box.  Check out their blog for some inspiration by the very talented design team.  “What a beautiful way for LOVE to bloom” is stamped on the front of the box.  The Scroll stamp on the lid is also Heartfelt Creations  Paper and diecut are Crate Paper.  Lace is Prima.

Happy Anniversary

Hello friends!  Lori is hosting a fun challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers and all you have to do is use Crafty Secrets and make a card that is not an A2.  I decided since hubby and I have an anniversary later this month, I’d make him a 4”x6” anniversary card. 

Products used:
Heartfelt Creations (Decorative Oval Window Die HCD710)
Crafty Secrets (Love Mail Creative Scraps CS17-DS)
Creative Imaginations (Shimmer Mist)
Pink Paislee (Cardstock)
Melissa Frances (Cardstock)

Gettin’ Down on the Farm!

Hello friends!  You all know I’ve been getting down (and dirty) on the farm!  Seems like that’s all I was doing with the painting of all the out buildings.  LOL!  Anyway, today I just wanted to create with images that make me happy!  So, I grabbed my Crafty Secrets Creative Scraps and got to work.  I made a little album and a card..is this down on the farm or what?  Crafty Secrets is one of my all time favorite companies and it’s such an honor to have been picked for their design team   I used my Glue Glider Pro and Perma Tac Adhesive to hold it all together!  The cute farm paper and little album are DMD.
I received the nicest RAK from Sherry at Createology!  She made these beautiful lace and fabric flowers…aren’t they gorgeous?  I love mine and thank you!

Envelope Album with KaiserCraft

Hello blogging buddies!  I promise I haven’t left you and have been super busy with design team projects!  Non of which I can share right now..but, I did make an envelope album and thought I would share that :)
Of course, being a Glue Girl...it's all held together with PermaTac adhesive by Glue Arts.

Exciting News!

Good morning to my blogging buddies!  I’m wishing you a beautiful sunshine day filled with happiness and lots of time to create :)
Many of you know I’m a huge fan of Crafty Secrets and adore their products.  I’m also a fan of many of their current designers and look forward to seeing their creations!  WELLLL..very early this morning, I received an email from Sandy (the owner of Crafty Secrets) that I was chosen to be on their design team!
Here’s the Crafty Secrets post:
