Isn't this a beautiful project and It is soooo easy.  What I used was the Close to My Heart Mix and Mingle album, Close to my Heart Mayberry Paper Pack, Close to my Heart Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge, Mocha Pearls (CTMH) and Smoothie ink (CTMH).  The Mix and Mingle album is awesome its 5 pages of Chipboard and 3 pages of acrylix and the jump rings to attach it together it cost $8.95 and I have seen it used as a mini album, a banner (like mine) and the list goes on and on.  Its so fun to play with!  I just worked on each page as its own piece of art.  I used the cricut to cut shapes out of patterned paper, a 3-d flower and the letters.  It looks beautiful hanging in my craft room.   Pin It Now!

Valentine's and Winter theme

I have been busy today finishing up some projects one of which is due next weekend.  Besides that I haven't really done much today because I spent all day yesterday for company my parents were having over, so my house is already pretty clean.  This morning didn't start out so well.  I awoke to my bedroom a lot colder then it should have been.  I over heard my parents disscussing the furnace and decided it would be a good idea to stay where I was.  Warm under the covers with Penny and Raven.  I got up at my usual time and got ready for the day as my mother waited for the repair guy, who couldn't repair our furance she went off to work some time later and I got to wait for the second repair guy, so what else can I do but sit in my craft room with a cup of tea and create.  I completed these two pieces.  The First is my LFB page for next month's meeting with the ladies can you tell I can't wait to go back I already complete the page for it which I normally wait till the last second. I am beyond inspired by Valentine's day.  I love the Reds and pinks it means we are getting closer to spring and color in the world no more bare trees, cold weather and snow.  Don't get me wrong I like snow just can't wait for it to be gone.  So lots of V-day art to come!!

The other project has been kinda hanging over my head for awhile.  It is an altered Chipboard mitten.  I love the idea just not the idea of create something celebrating the cold.  I just didn't feel it... I think it is not my best work.  I have moments where I feel this way.  I don't even know if I want to trade it because to be honest I wouldn't want my own in return.  If that makes sense.  I already had the front started so I kinda had to stick with it.  I thought about doing a valentine's themed mitten but that would mean starting over and I don't want to start over!! So here it is my boring altered mitten.

Project complete

Well I put the finishing touches on my canvases this evening. I decided instead of putting a ribbon and hanging each canvas on its own, I instead stapled the ribbon to the bottom of the inspire canvases and stapled that same ribbon to the top of the beauty canvases. I really love how it came out. Click the picture to blow it up and see the details. Pin It Now!

Altered Chipboard houses

Well I'm always looking for something new and different to play with. My best Friend and tree killer in crime suggested that our ATC group do altered houses. So we are doing a total of 5 of them. And the first one was our current home. These are really fun and come out really cute. So the first one isn't due till the end of the month. So I got it done pretty early and then the second is our favorite place. My favorite place came to me pretty quicky so I started it yesterday and finished today. I just need to make a door handle and it will be finished. Pin It Now!
