To Corset or Not To Corset? That is the question....LOL!

Well, I got my paint on, sorta.  It did not start out that way.  I had a blank canvas, a pile of Blumenthal buttons and some Sandtastik metallic rocks and a bit of May Arts ribbon.  This is where I stopped at 1:00am this morning! LOL  Lets just say it was a metamorphisis of mistakes! 

Thank you for stopping by!

Updates, News...Oh My!

First of all, tomorrow is my DEBUT blog post over at Spellbinders blog!  Had to work through all the first time technical stuff today, but Kelly was so sweet and walked me through it.  I cant wait to see it live, what a dream come true to work with such an incredible company!!

So keep an eye out tomorrow!

In my last post, I promised more news to come....and today is the day!  Some of you know that I toured Australia last year, and met some of the most awesome men and women in my ventures there.  I got the chance to meet Maggie Lloyd of Flourish With A Bling, she was just crazy enough to travel many hours to make it to one of my workshops, I was floored!  

I have had the opportunity to use the FWAB products in workshops and on personal projects, now I get to share them even more with you...as I am on their VERY FIRST design team!  I am so excited to be working with Maggie and the FWAB team!!!

Here is a recent layout using Chloe Pearl Flourish in white:

Be Creative Always,
Candy

So very excited.....I get to call myself a SPELLBLOGGER!

Howdy,

I wanted to share my super exciting news!  It's official...I am now joining the ranks with some other uber talented folks over at Spellbinders™ as your Mixed Media Spellblogger!  Those that know me, know that I love Spellbinders™ and the entire crew, so I am deeply honored!

I have my first project all ready to go....can you guess what the theme might be? hmmm, you will have to go to the blog on May 8th to see what I have been crafting and check out the fun techniques that I used!

Keep an eye out for video tutorials...yes, I will be doing video.  Dont fall on the floor!  

I wanted to share one of my fave photos from CHA Winter 2012 with Stacey Caron, she got to take the vintage themed box home with her.  I would like to say she grabbed it and ran with it, but she didn't...lol.

See you on the Spellbinders™ blog next week!

My color...................CREAMSICLE ORANGE!

I have explained hundreds of times the color orange that I want custom painted on my dream CAMARO. Do you know how hard it is to explain what CREAMSICLE ORANGE would look like on a vehicle?  Very hard, indeed.

I was taking a walk the other day and found this truck in the parking lot across the street and I nearly dropped my jaw on the ground....I had forgot my phone so I ran back to the office and got it and snapped this picture within minutes of it leaving.  So here it is......isnt this just beautiful? lol

I am totally drooling, here..............

Vintage Street Market & May Arts All Wrapped Up!

Remember that layout that I made for a friends daughter?  If you follow my facebook you would have seen it.  It was a birthday gift and no gift is complete without being wrapped up appropriately!  There is no better way then with the fun Paper Sheets & Tags "Party Games" from Vintage Street Market and wrapped in ribbon from May Arts!

 

I gave the layout that I made and whole bunch of fun scrapbooking supplies for her to play with to make more pages for the album that was included.  This was such a fun package to put together for a young lady that has not scrapbooked yet!

 

Each package includes:

-Two 24"x36" decorative printed paper sheets

-One 24"x36" red foil sheet

-One 24"x36" yellow crepe sheet

-One 12"x12" sheet of colorful Tags & Things-decorative die cut embellishments

 All packaged in a sturdy storage envelope that if not used for storage, can be re-purposed in crafting.

 

 

Look what is on my craft desk....................

CHA, book proposals, upcoming workshops.....OH MY!  Where to begin!  

Here is what is on my craft table at this very moment that I have to ponder what to do with from one of my besties...Nicole!  Thank you for these beauties, you know just how to make this girl so very happy!

And this was from the local Goodwill...

This leaves much to ponder...

Home Decor with Graphic45 and Hambly Studios

I know it has been awhile.  It is not because I haven't been crafting, just the ol' cant show it for a long time adage.  So today I got a bit of time and decided to make something JUST FOR YOU!  Not for anyone else except for my wonderful readers!!

I had a wonderful chipboard printers tray that I picked up in Australia when I was on tour last August and it has been calling my name for quite some time.  So I grabbed it and got busy.

First paint. Graphic45 paper. Glue. Hambly Screen Prints. Pearls from Flourish with a Bling. May Arts Ribbon. Graphic45 clothespin. Jolee's findings. Layered and Glued and there you have it!

 

Underneath the Hambly Screen Prints is a butterfly, ribbon, an old key and then a wood heart from Blumenthal Lansing.

Lots of layers to make this little home decor project.  Lots of fun getting the paint brushes out, and getting my craft on!
