Clear Scraps and those Mixers!

Hi guys!!

I'm home from Indiana.  I went with shingles and came home with them , too.   I never have had the shingles before so I thought I had pulled a muscle in my lower back.  I'm so glad I didn't know how much fun these were ~ NOT!!!

 

 My turn on Clear Scraps today~

I used the Banner Mixers and the Clouds Mixers.

A mixer means the acrylic piece can also be used like a stencil, so it's like two for one.  Two ways to use the product:):)

I traced around the pattern paper (Jillibean Soup) and adhered to the acrylic shape with Zip Dry by Beacon.

The library card envelope is from The Curtsey Boutique.  

I love the texture and dimension the acrylic shapes add to my layout:):)

Take a look in the Clear Scraps store for all of the newly released Mixers

Viva Technique Book~Graphic45!

Hi guys!!!

I'm on the road~

Just a quick little technique album we made when we went to the 

Collins Show in Houston , this past year.  We used Graphic45 for the album and then learned all kinds of technique's using Viva .

 On the back of the tag, I have it labeled with the technique~
but it is so pretty I want to use it.

 Modeling paste, stencils, paint ~you name it we did it!!
Learned so much~

 I'll think of something, I'm sure!
See ya soon~

The Curtsey Boutique~#4 is awesome sauce!

Hi guys!

I have a layout I did for The Curtsey Boutique, using

 their amazing handcrafted items, to share with you.

This is our sweet boy, #4 on our scale of grands!!! He is soaking up some sun or trying to, it started raining shortly after I took this.

The paper is Little Yellow Bicycle and the title I cut using the Silhouette. 

  Most, if not all, of the embellishments are from the The Curtsey Boutique's Etsy shop.  She is always adding new things and it is always full of good stuff:):)

Swing by and take a look~

Our puzzle piece swap~Craft Crossing girls!

Hi guys!!

Some of the girls at Craft Crossing (friends, customers, special peeps, teachers) got together and did a puzzle piece swap.  It was organized by Christy  Gilbreath (Collins Group Representative)

 for our area.

Here is the puzzle with all of the pieces done by me~this was my design:):) for everyone.  So each person got one of these~

The sayings are stickers by Cosmo Cricket.  I tried to match those up to the person I was making the puzzle piece for.  I even tried to match up the vintage ladies (by Darkroom Door) ~ Here is the puzzle with the pieces done for me, by the girls in the swap:):)

In case I forgot to tell you girls~I loved the puzzle pieces you did, with me in mind~

We will have to do it again~

Starting L-R 1st row~ me, Pam Sivage and Christy Gilbreath.

2nd row~Janice Nutt, Kristi

3rd row~Penci Petty, Pam Malatek, Sindee Glenn

XOXO

Enamel ware re-purpose~ junkin' find!

Hi guys!!!

How about a quick and easy and super cute re-purpose (junkin')!!!

I found this for $3 and couldn't walk away. I have a pretty large collection of enamel ware but nothing like this~

 

I wanted to use it, not just stack it up with my collection:).

 So this is what I did with it~

I put my crafting tweezers in the candle space and my used sponges (that I can still use)

on the dish.  If it get dirty, it will be easy to clean.

Have a great weekend and go junkin', it is good for the soul.

  It takes you back~

See ya soon~
