I'm BACK! :)

So...I took a three week hiatus from blogging.  While you were missing me I worked my tail off at work, worked my tail off at Crossfit (literally), and cooked up a mighty tasty Thanksgiving dinner!  :)  However, I missed out on getting to share some of my new pretties and after three weeks...

First up I made this awesome wreath/wall hanging/festive display:

 

For this project I used a Walnut Hollow Paneled Wood Clock surface.  For all those who think I have "too many" supplies, understand that almost nothing on this project came from my stash of hoarded supplies.  :(   I used some great papers from the Bo Bunny Gold and Silver collection to make the background, then used some great bling-y pieces to brighten and glitter the rest of the project up.  I guess if we are being technical...the glitter for the letters was NOT purchased for this project and had been sitting around in a drawer for quite some time!

 

 

 

My next project was a quick canvas project.  I've had this stencil for a long time and I absolutely love it!  I covered the canvas in some black gesso and used molding past with the stencil to create the letters.  I love the thought process behind all of these words (part of the reason it is one of my favorite stencils).  

 

I had some more fun with chipboard for this project!  A little painting, a little embossing, and a lot of blinging led to the finished project for the sweet butterfly.  This piece of "art" now hangs in my dear friend Dale's house!  



 

So there you have it!  Been working super hard through the holidays with only a little time to scrap.  I can say, however, that I am almost caught up with my 2014 journal...it is December and I am caught up to the second week in November (yay, me!). 

 

Stay tuned for more projects!  I've got some great things in progress right now!  Thanks for looking and have a great day!

 

Love,
