Kissing Booth "Love"

Here is a frame that I made with the Basic Grey Kissing Booth collection. I really love this line and this is not the first thing that I have made with it. It makes for beautiful home decor. Although it is somewhat "seasonal" I am pretty sure that I will leave it up all year long. I used the Tim Holtz tissue paper with the music design to make the heart and then spritzed it with some Tattered Angels. Love how that came out.

New Canvases

I am really happy with how these new canvases came out. Someone ordered them from me and at first I felt challenged by the order of "Gymnastics, music and drama" for a young man. Music did not mean that he plays an instrument and it was also supposed to be "bright". I'm pretty happy with how it came out but I especially like the Multi-Sport canvas.

Valentine's Project

It's really not the best picture but here is a banner I made using the new Crate Paper "Paper Heart" line. It's gorgeous! It's a rainy miserable day here and I just couldn't seem to get good light for the picture. I may still embellish it a little more...I'm not sure it's shiny enough.

Canvas Fun

I've really been having a lot of fun making canvases since I took a class in them. I have a lot of images that can be used and I've decided that if anyone I know would like one custom done, I'd be happy to do it. It can really be any theme..sports, whimsical, girly, macho or any color etc. It does not cost a lot to make it's just time consuming. As you can see I have already made a couple "custom" frames that are for some specific kids I know.

Bo Bunny Layout Challenge

Here is a layout I did that was inspired by a photo on the Bo Bunny Blog. You could take anything that you wanted from the original picture and I was immediately drawn to the color scheme. I just love turquoise and the first line that popped into my head was "Ad Lib". When this line came out, I immediately went to my store and bought everything they had--I was so sure I would use it up immediately but I found it harder to use than I thought. Not because I didn't love it but it was so funky and fun that I didn't' want to part with it!

Basic Grey sketch challenge

I have been waiting years to scrap this photo of Jake & I. I have always loved it. It was taken on the first day of pre-school at Christian Family Montessori. He just looks so sweet and he was a little nervous. When I saw the sketch challenge at Basic Grey I knew I wanted to use their new "Kissing Booth" line and since there is not a lot of pink and red being worn in this house I had to really think of a picture that I had that would match....so glad I remembered this one. Enjoy.
