Hola friends....Among the busy hours of the weekend I had a little bit of time to create something I've been wanting to do for awhile....My first reverse canvas altered art piece.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I wanted this to be somewhat monochromatic in nature....I love the fall colors and am so please with the outcome of this piece. The papers are from BoBunny....just luv them! I used my cricut and my Mothers Day bouquet cart to make the flowers...except the middle one which is from Prima....I used A Child's Year for the leaves....cut in gold and then inked with green and brown. I had to have the Inspired Heart cart when I saw all the luvly fonts...that is where I got the Give Thanks.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello all....I have the great opportunity to submit some things for a big crop in Joplin in November. There will be over 300 people at the crop with several classes offered. One of the items I am submitting is this advent calendar made with a printer tray. I've used Graphic 45 Christmas Emporium papers...what fun they are to work with!<br />

I cut the naugty or nice list from the paper and added a pen nub from Tim Holts over a Martha Stewart punched snowflake.<br />

I used another MS punch to created the wreath...there was already one on the image and I just wanted to add deminsion to it.<br />

The edges of the box are trimmed with paper cut at 3/4"...then I added tissue tape from Tim to all the edges of the tray and each box. I've also inked the edges of each box.<br />

There are so many beautiful tags and images in this stack that the possiblities for embellishing are endless. Just added a few punches, bling and stickles.<br />

This is the inside of one of the boxes....I used the opposite side of the cardstock I used to make the lid to cover the bottom of each box...on this one I added some stickles and bling.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Other images cut from the papers accent the interior of several of my boxes.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There were not 25 boxes so I improvised and divided the two large boxes into 3 by making 'lids' for my own compartments.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2_fI9eb_GESBL27r61PGrgoHKOIn2XJnSFH5NMmtQKN7ndv7Flrs9rshlTAFBPa8eK0kRyLpp5fDH0LqZI0IzGC8GVH51yBGze6YMbGldEU9PYFJuXIxlj9A5CbukWsNtW7h_euf7jTo/s1600/IMGP4110.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" rba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2_fI9eb_GESBL27r61PGrgoHKOIn2XJnSFH5NMmtQKN7ndv7Flrs9rshlTAFBPa8eK0kRyLpp5fDH0LqZI0IzGC8GVH51yBGze6YMbGldEU9PYFJuXIxlj9A5CbukWsNtW7h_euf7jTo/s320/IMGP4110.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
The image of santa is just to die for...luv this paper....Each box can hold a special 'treat' for the opener as you count down the days til Christmas with you family....I plan on adding some 'christmas past' family photos to some of my boxes as well...the box will be beautiful to look at all month long.....<br />
The pulls are made by hot glueing a ribbon loop unter the number of each box...this is strong and study enough to stand up to the gentle pull needed to open each box.<br />
I saw the paper cutting pattern for the majority of my boxes on this <a href="http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/11108240"><span style="color: #cc0000;">video</span></a> by Laura....Following the Paper Trail....the rest of the design was my own...tho I am sure someone somewhere has done it too.....The triple compartments are made by measuring the interior of the box...divided into three...when I cut the paper I backed off the shorter measurement on one side by 1/16 of an inch to give some room...then I just assembled a 'lid' just like the ones I've made for my explosion boxes.<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoyed my calendar...wish me luck on the class submission! and oh....Merry Christmas....LOL<br />

Ah yes, my sweet son does surly have my heart on a string. Mcauley is turning 16 tomorrow and I just had to do a layout of him as a baby...therepy I guess...the years have gone too swiftly. I am so very proud of my dear son...he is the best son a mother could ask for and I am so very proud and blessed to call him mine.<br />
I've used Tim Holtz Vintage Shabby paper stash for this layout.<br />

My hearts are cut from Sweethearts...love the punched scallop edge...I've added stitching and some lace to some of the hearts...part of the title is computer generated, cut apart, and inked. I've added some additional stitching randomly to the circle frame. I cut my circle with Plantin Schoolbook....@ 9 1/2 inches with the center point on and then @ 9 1/4 inch with the center point on...this makes it easy to cut the narrow circle frames for you layouts. I' ve also used the center point to cut my squares from the middle of my papers.<br />

Sentimental frames accent the grunge letters that spell out my and heart...I've added picket fence crackle paint to the the title. I've also added deminsional paint to the frames to give them some depth.<br />

The butterflies are from Sentimentals...inked and pearl accents added....all of my flowers are from Mothers Day Bouquet and the leaves are from A Child's Year...I've poked a hole in the corner of the photo and the photo mat and added a little charm held by a piece of string....<br />

I had so much fun making the explosion box for sis I decided to make one for my sweet son. Mcauley is turning 16 on Thursday...is that even possible?<br />
So anyway...in case anyone has never made one of these I wanted to let you know some measurements as I tried to keep these as simple as possible....My papers are 2@ 12x12 1@ 9x9 and 2@ 6x6....numbers easily divided for scoring....the 12x12 page has two papers put together with adhesive, wanted the outside as sturdy as possible...score the 12x12 @ 4 inches rotating the paper each time to get a tic tac toe pattern....the 9x9 @ 3 inches and the 6x6 @ two inches....cut the corner square from each piece of paper to make a cross....cut one of the 12x12's and then glue it to the other....use it as a pattern to cut the second piece. I like to round my corners....my boxes are glued together at the center square at an angle...I like this much butter than stacked evenly...but you can do it either way...I use my xtra squares that I cut off the embellish the inside of my boxes.....the other 6x6 is now scored from the outside @ 3/4 of an inch...cut one side on each corner to fold in to make the lid.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The rest is the fun part....just embellish the way you would like to.....I have added sand to the top of my box and written my son's name in it...the blue stickles are spread across the opposite corner...pushed up near the 'shore' to simulate waves....my message in a bottles says....'how do i love thee...let me count the waves.</div>

How much fun are these simple canvas's made with my cricut Happy Haunting, Distress Inks and Paint Dabbers???<br />

Next, I've used some cuts from Happy Haunting that make good 'stencils'...I chose spooky and beware....then using Butterscotch and Terra Cotta paint dabbers I placed them randomly on the canvas.<br />

If you've never done this before it is such an easy process...simply apply glossy accents to a Tim Holtz fragment...apply to image...smear around a bit and place on the part of the image you want on your charm...then just cut out...so much fun! My letters are cut from Storybook...I've layered three of each, embossed, inked and then added some perfect pearls in green patina.<br />

Blot craft mat (i use a laminated placemat that I picked up at the $1 store) with the ink colors you want to use, being careful not to mix colors on your pads...then spritz with water and run tag or chipboard piece through them...Tim has the best techniques...after the tags dried I ran them through my cuttlebug with one of his embossing folders and then double distressed them with walnut stain, running the pad directly over the raised image and along each edge of the tag. I added some of the green patina perfect pearls to the chip board leaves and finished them off with stickles.<br />

Today Mcauley assisted me in creating my first video for youtube. We are a work in progress and promise to get better...but not bad for beginners...LOL!<br />
I am so excited to share one of the projects I've been working on, this altered book with The Magic of Oz papers by Graphic 45. I am going to be instructing an inspiration class for this book. The store I work and instruct at is called Scraps and is located in Joplin, MO. In light of the horrific tornado that struck Joplin this past spring we thought it would be appropriate to host a class for people to create a journal to remember their experiences and these papers were a perfect for such a book.<br />

My bestie (since we were 16) and her family provided accommodations for us at Panama City Beach, Florida for a week. There were a total of 15 of us on the trip and it was priceless. I wanted to create something for them to remember the time we shared and here is what I came up with...hope you enjoy.....<br />

Lots of feminine touches on this one.<br />

The background is made up of 3 pieces of Bazzil that have been embossed with the wonderful texture fade embossing folders...Tim has such yummy stuff....luv it!!<br />

Summer sure is speeding by all tooooo quickly. I'm loving every minute but they sure to fly by.<br />
Time to start getting ready for my July classes for Scraps! when I saw this frame in the craft department of my local WM I had to grab one and see what I could come up with....and here it is.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrb-VV0Sqk3HaYAz8KfeP2tZN3uccUr_wpWKLYkuSCMN6H3W90UY6cXnRKzatvHgT5dGHd36W95mQ7WBoKPFro1ZKdz53XLsIafvpXNg4bpRtiEBT4YrHCjzOxJds6iK0-4IYnZ5Ei4PI/s1600/familyclass+006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrb-VV0Sqk3HaYAz8KfeP2tZN3uccUr_wpWKLYkuSCMN6H3W90UY6cXnRKzatvHgT5dGHd36W95mQ7WBoKPFro1ZKdz53XLsIafvpXNg4bpRtiEBT4YrHCjzOxJds6iK0-4IYnZ5Ei4PI/s320/familyclass+006.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> The frame is 12x12 and comes with nine, four inch pieces that fit inside of it. I decided to 'think outside the box" and use them as mini 'frames' to surround the larger one. I used BasicGrey papers...yummy designs from the Sweet Threads collection.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1vAP7Sv6Yrsf5v_7SLkAXpsaf4zoQI5UGfqlhf4QkK94teqh80LhYgw0_BtQtpyHLUE5vJ2dlcGYN5Z71B9cKKECLoYT6x_4G0EU6q552Zr3PWalx5nvE7nZ0b2bTQmehmIN9T6SET6w/s1600/familyclass+005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1vAP7Sv6Yrsf5v_7SLkAXpsaf4zoQI5UGfqlhf4QkK94teqh80LhYgw0_BtQtpyHLUE5vJ2dlcGYN5Z71B9cKKECLoYT6x_4G0EU6q552Zr3PWalx5nvE7nZ0b2bTQmehmIN9T6SET6w/s320/familyclass+005.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> My fonts, words, and photo corners are all cricut cuts...you will probably recognize....Heritage, Home Accents, Home Decor, Opposites Attract, A Child's Year and Wall Decor and More.<br />

The frames are stained with Peeled Paint Distress Stain by Ranger and accented with Walnut Distress stain, also used these to color my grungeboard. I've also added some fun grunge shapes from Tim Holtz. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLJjRyPOB3Rc7FcwAaIB3rVQQ2Ar8FsH0SVs_G43G5YnfBuM1b8vTVyn2nwnaXgvKO1hDZyD_jAYMFDPF3b99s9YCzMMT33SAPHe5cU1BXXjteJ4c5TmWMyfPAe7tix-A3Cswc0ZLSbnQ/s1600/familyclass+003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLJjRyPOB3Rc7FcwAaIB3rVQQ2Ar8FsH0SVs_G43G5YnfBuM1b8vTVyn2nwnaXgvKO1hDZyD_jAYMFDPF3b99s9YCzMMT33SAPHe5cU1BXXjteJ4c5TmWMyfPAe7tix-A3Cswc0ZLSbnQ/s320/familyclass+003.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> Have you seen the Enamel Accents by Ranger???? Just luv them...I've added them to accent the grunge cuts and used them instead of brads in my hinges.<br />

I can't say enough good things about this weekend. Tim Holtz is the most personal, genuine, crafty guy I've ever met. He taught us sooooo much in such a short time....My favorite part was watching everyone create something wonderfully unique....even though we were all given the same products. <br />
Tim's wait list for stores in 7 years!!!! Wowzers...I feel so fortunate to have been able to see him....I hope I have another opportunity to do this again...but if not...I'm sure grateful for this one.<br />
Tim gave permission to teach any of these in classes....so believe me...I will be teaching and sharing....watch for upcoming information on his fantastic techniques!!! <br />
There is an album on my facebook if you would like to see the photos in color...thanx for stopping by...<br />

Hope this finds you well and happy. I've been working on some decor for a baby shower and wanted to share the final product. I made three centerpieces and a banner for a little one that's on her way.
