Quick Card

Pulled out a box of stamps today and just grabbed this one. Coloring in the lines is not my favorite thing to do that's why I LOVE mixed media LOL however, I did take a few minutes and colored this. It turned out ok. I think I have enough Christmas cards to complete my mailing list. I just love Christmas! This year will be a bit different and hard now that we are not in Ohio, but we know God's got a plan. Merry Christmas everyone!!


                                         

Cardz TV Cards

Hey everyone! I've been so busy substitute teaching that my crafting has fallen behind again. I was a bit under the weather and just wanted to surf my old files and came across a lady Mary, that does videos at Cardz TV on Youtube. I just love all her cards because she uses her Cricut all the time. So, I dusted mine off and did two of her 12 Days of Christmas for this year and I'm loving them. Hope you do too. Make sure to check her out!

                        

                        

I'll be making some of her other designs for sure so easy and fun! Thanks Mary!!

SHE canvas

Well, I've had this stencil for a long time the "SHE" from donna downey. I did a canvas with it a long time ago but gave it as a gift to friend Erin. So, I needed to fill the empty spot. I pulled up again the Artist Gang youtube and loved what I found. This is my version, using the Dylusions stencil as my girl. Hope you enjoy. Please check out Donna's blog and artist gang they rock!!!

                                          

What is unseen...

This is yet another canvas that I used Donna Downey stencils and so many mediums I can't list them all. When I do mixed media, I don't have a plan whatever happens happens, so that's why I don't know what all I used. LOL
I know for sure the glasses are a stencil that I fell in love with that Donna Downey designed. The design was inspired by one of her Artist Gang girls but I apologize I didn't remember her name. You can check out her You Tube and you'll see where I got the inspiration. All of those artist are AWESOME!! thanks for sharing your talent with us.

Overflowing Cup

Remembering my Mom's birthday today.
Miss you mom ..........

Trying to Catch UP!

Hi everyone the past four weeks have been one miracle after another for us. I was able to go to Cincinnati and take care of my friends children while her husband was out of the country. It was such a blessing for me. I came home and started substituting for the Oak Ridge Schools and oh my gosh!! I LOVE LOVE IT!! I am looking forward to doing more that is for sure. I'm scheduled for hand surgery December 12 so I'll be slowed a little not sure if I'll be able to do my art, it's my left hand and I'm right handed so we'll see. Just have to watch that I don't get paint on the dressing and then the cast or my DR will have my head LOL!!
I was able to complete some canvas work I'll share over the next few days.
The first one was inspired by NIKA IN WONDERLAND OH MY GOSH!! I love all her stuff. She works in a journal and uses Tim Holtz stamps and dies which is one of my favs. I decided to dot his one and take it to class with me and sit on the table before reading time to start by telling one of my MRS.BOPPIN'S  stories.
Please keep East Tennessee in your prayers with all the fires, tornado and tragic news here we sure can use your prayers and if you feel lead please donate to our RED CROSS, they have a huge job to do and are already doing what I could never imagine as far as helping and getting there so quick to assist the people of all the counties that were affected. We appreciate them so very much!!
Have a blessed day!!!!

                                 
p.s. Steve and I are fine! Blessed beyond measure.

Devotional Art Card

Been a busy week... Just wanted to quick show you my verse today. Have a great day!


                                                          

Construction Canvas

This is another canvas I did for the neighbor boy who is just 4 years old. I have really stepped out of my comfort zone! He loved it and that's all that matters to me. Hope you enjoy your day!

                                   

                                     

Out of my Comfort Zone...

My neighbor asked if I could do a mixed media canvas of a race car for his son's room. I CAN'T DRAW..... that's why I do mixed media. But I love my new neighbors and I said I'd give it a try. This is what I came up with sure hope he likes it (he's only 6yrs old) maybe he'll be gracious LOL
Hope you enjoy seeing my new experience. Don't think it's going to become a habit HAHAHA

                                  

Devotional Art Card

Hi everyone! today I pulled out an ATC I did about 8 years ago and attached it to my DAC. It was perfect for this verse. Hope you enjoy it. I'm going to be busy designing two canvas for a neighbor's boys. Never done that before it will be a challenge. Have a great day!!!

                                                     

                                                     

DAC#11

Well this is number 11... not my favorite I should have made the words larger for such a busy background.
Here's what it reads:  "Kairos" is Greek word for "defining moments of your life" I read this in the book I'm reading now by Jen Tringale Your Defining Moment.  This young lady was in our youth group many years ago in Cincinnati. She was a part of our Inspirations group that did praise and worship with children. She is such an awesome woman and I'm loving her book. Check it out@

Have a great day!


                                            

a little bird told me...

So, this is the canvas I tried filming while doing... I love how it turned out but I'll have to figure out a better way to film when I do involved projects. I used Dina Wakley's paints, stencil and stamps; gelatos and Pitt pens to color. The canvas I got at Michaels in the sale bin for just 79 cents. It was 80% off so of course I bought 6. LOL Have a great day!

                                                             

Wood Base Canvas

Hey there.. today I wanted to share a canvas I did using a Wood Canvas board. This is the first time I've ever used one and I really enjoyed doing it. Hope you enjoy the look ! Have a great day


                                           

FLower Canvas

Hi everyone! The other day I was working on this canvas and decided to share it on here before I took it to Scrappin in the City. I used gelatos for my background colors, stamps from Dina Wakley and other random stamps along with my Pit Pens. I'm really happy with how it turned out. Hope you have a great day!


                                             

Ballerina Card

My closest friend called from Ohio and asked if I could make her a ballerina card for a little girl who is playing Clara in the Nutcracker Ballet. Well, this is what I came up with. I pulled an image off clip art, printed it on the Brother toner printer, ran through the MINX machine to foil it,then covered with Nuvo glitter. I embossed the background, added bling, then made a little mesh thinge.. can't think what's its called lol and way I I cover it with bling added a tiny bow and called it a card. Hope she likes it.

                                                

Tutu...... ha! ha!

DAC# 10

I have had such a good time in the studio this week. I have a few things to share. I tried doing a video of creating one of the mixed media canvas but oh my that is not my idea of fun. My filming area is now clear on the other side of the studio and I had to lug everything over there and well.... didn't happen I erased it! But I will share the finished canvas.

Now, this DAC is not a verse of scripture but I've been up since 3:00 am praying so this was perfect. Hope you are having a great day!!

A Little Scrapbooking

I shared with you that I am on the Design Team at Scrappin In the City a few days ago. So, I thought I would share a some of the projects here and you can also see them over at Pinterest on their board. This one should have been scrapped 2 years ago when Steve and I had the vacation of a life time in NYC. I was sad to leave so I took a picture as we left out the rear window of our taxi bus. We are planning another trip next year with our Enloe family. I used a page out of a very old book I purchased at a thrift store as my background and then cut the letters out of a journal page using the good old Cricut. Hope you enjoy seeing this.

                                         

DAC#9

Hope you all are having a great day! I was able to work in the studio all day. I have to canvas pieces I'll take pictures of and post tomorrow, they are not quite dry.  


                                           

DAC #8

Well, Monday is here... this is my house cleaning and laundry day. ALL finished now to the studio I go.....
First I used up some leftovers to make some cards for donating to Susannah's House , check out their website! www.susannahshouse.org  .I am now a part of the volunteers and I GET TO HOLD BABIES!!!. I made a ton of Christmas cards over the weekend to donate. They will have a sale with different items and the money goes to help the moms buy gifts for their children.
Then, I went to the art table and came up with today's DAC. I felt this verse was perfect for today! Hope you all are having a great day!
