When you read this, I’ll be well on my way to CHA . . . Smiley from millan.net

Daisy will be picking me up from the airport and while we wait for the rest of our party to arrive, we’ll be visiting the beaches and walking around Newport (I think).

Hopefully I’ll have some fun photos to share tomorrow and then on Sunday, the first day of CHA, I can finally share some of my projects!

In the meantime, remember the other day when I said the lady from the Graphic 45 Old Curiosity Shoppe had lots of potential . . .

One other thing I want to show you today . . . the new Graphic 45 Staples, Metal Butterflies.  I worked up a few samples to include in my demo on Sunday . . .

Butterflies

The one in the top center is the only butterfly in the grouping that was left in the original metal.  Do you know what the bottom two were altered with?  Same colors too, but they look so different!

Oh woo hoo!  I just got clearance to share one of my Spellbinders projects with you!  I’ve been waiting all day to hear something and I finally have!  I’m so excited!

I had so much fun make the above card!  The base was die cut with Grand Rectangles and the flowers were made with Donna Salazar’s new die Spellbinders release, Bitty Blossoms.   The frame around the Journey tag is one of Samantha Walker’s new Spellbinders releases, Antique Frames and Accents.

I hope the sneak peeks were worth the wait for you!

I hope you have an excellent day and thanks for stopping by!

Good Monday morning!  Well, Mallory has gone back to school and my projects for Graphic45 are finally done and ready for priority mail.  The projects took a little longer than I anticipated, but I wanted to spend as much time with my girls as I could.

Now that my Graphic 45 projects are done and in the mail, I thought I would share them with you.  Since you’ve already had a sneak peek of the Chunky Tag, I’m going to start with that one.

The flowers are made from GrungePaper covered with G45 Botannicabella paper as is the 2×4 that I used as my Chunky Tag.   The feet are wood drawer pulls and the top is a metal one.

Let’s start with the butterfly side of the 2×4.  The center of the flower is a new metal embellishments from Graphic45, Metal Buttons.  The butterfly and background papers are affixed to Studio 490 Art Parts, ATC Art.

This side of the tag has the same type of flower, but I added a new Studio 490 Art Part , Pocket Watches, and filled it with little bits and pieces.

One side and . . .

the other side.

I guess that’s about all I have for you today.  Oh except . . . you’re gonna love this Friday’s blog hop with The E-Team.  We’ve got some special guests joining us for one fun and very inspiring hop!

Thanks for stopping by and remember . . . life is short, embrace the adventures that come your way today!

Wendy Inspired!

Good Thursday morning!  How are y’all today?

I thought I was going to be able to spend the entire day in the studio yesterday, but I didn’t sleep well the night before and ended up crashing in the recliner for a few hours.   Needless to say, the afternoon and early evening were shot then.

I was so inspired by Wendy Vecchi’s post yesterday with the ATC covered in sticky-back canvas and her tree, that I went searching for my canvas yesterday morning.  I found it, covered the tag in plaid, and then started working on a tree design.  Once I had it all done, I didn’t like the color of the plaid so I started over with Graphic45 paper instead.  You’ll see the plaid tag . . . . once I come up with something to go on the front.

In the meantime . . .

I used the same Spellbinders™ S4-288 Classic Diamonds for the tree, but this time I die cut them in half with S4-242 Big Scalloped Borderabilities Petite to give them a scalloped bottom border.  I guess I should tell you that the pieces are made from GrungePaper and they were inked with Pine Needles Distress Ink.  I over stamped each individual piece with Ranger Snowcap Pigment Ink using the backgrounds from Wendy’s sets Live and Make Art and Art by the Numbers.  The trunk is a scrap piece of GrungeBoard that was inked with Walnut Stain.

That star on top was die cut/embossed in GrungePaper with the smallest star from S4-092 Stars Five and then painted gold.

The tag is covered in Graphic45 Christmas Past paper and all the edges were sponged in Vintage Photo ink.

To finish off the tag I added some 1.5” Ivory May Arts Crocheted Lace (from Stamp Simply Ribbon Store) and tied some purple ribbon over it.  The same purple ribbon was added at the top with a Charm Fragment that had been affixed over an image from the Christmas Past paper.  A Trinket Pin holds the Charm Fragment in place.

I think I like this tree better than the one from the day before!

I don’t mean to cut this post short, but my left hand (the broken one) has been giving me fits the last few days and typing is a little difficult.   Up until this week my wrist and hand have been doing well, but for some reason the night before it woke me up with very bad pain and numb fingers.  I think maybe a trip to the hand surgeon might be in order . . . . at least for a cortisone shot!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
