Bar aux Cartes

 

I have 3 cards to share with you today.  I attended my first Bar Aux Cartes at my local scrapbooking store.  It was such fun!  Basically, we pay $10.00 and get to make 3 cards.  We get to choose from approx. 8 designs.  All the papers are cut and the images are stamped for us.  We just color and assemble and walk away with our creations.  They are great designs to refer back to. 

New from Magenta!

I love these new flower cards from Magenta!  I had a blast making this one and will definitely be making more.

The cards are white and I’ve colored it by brayering chalk ink.  I jazzed it up a bit, okay a lot, by adding  some peel-offs, ribbon and Stickles and voila!

A New Home for my Prismacolors

I've been searching high and low for the perfect pencil case(s) to hold my pencil crayons. Not finding anything suitable I decided to make my own. And, it didn't cost me a penny! I had the doggie prints kicking around, as well as some remnants from making table runners. I added some small doggie charms and cord from my stash, and voila!!!!! Now I can take them "on the road" in something a little more stylish than a ziploc bag. And, the best part, they are sorted by color.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

Domino Necklace

I made this necklace today to give to my boss for her birthday this week.

The domino was first painted with Stonewash & Stream alcohol inks, then overstamped with Memories black ink. I added a coat of Diamond Glaze to seal everything. (Stamp is from Rubberstamp Avenue).

I sure hope she likes it! LOL.

Another paint can

It didn't take me long to fill up my first can with my Touche markers, so I decided to make another. And I got to use a new set of stamps that I purchased last weekend when Nathalie from Magenta came to visit our stamp club.

The flourishes by Autumn Leaves, are stamped with chalk ink and I stamped the flowers from my new set with Adirondack Pesto dye ink. I then colored them with Prismacolor pencils.

Decorated Paint Can

I bought some Touch markers this week and of course I needed something to put them in. I picked up a 1 litre paint can from the local paint store and had SO much fun decorating it. I think I'll have to make some more!!!!!
