I thought i would try out a new craft. These are coasters that I am working on. I used alcohol inks for the design. I am currently looking for people to road test these before i attempt to sell anything. Working with the alcohol inks is amazing and fun. You can see things change right…

For the past week I have been playing with crayon art. Creating different designs by melting crayons on stretched canvas. This is really easy to do, but does take time and practice. Most sites show people using a hair dryer. I happen to use my craft heating tool. Some of the art i made special…

Very Cherry!  Used dimensional magic on the quote square and select cherries.  It harder to find colors that I thought would coordinate well together along with ribbon.  I think it turned out well.

Peaches card is finished.  I really really like this.  I think I might do a version with cherries or all of my other fruits.  I will def make more of the peaches.  It took me a while to complete all the details.  I was running around my house finding things I could add. As you…

A little sneak peek of today’s project.  I was just playing around and this is what came out!  Pretty pleased thus far.  These peaches I added some pink to.  Not sure if you can tell.

Playing with New Stamps

Playing with the newest stamp set from flourishes.  I tested out a few color choices before landing on this grouping of colors.  Peaches surprisingly are harder to color then you think.  Well I guess it really is up to what you want them to look like. Need to color the rest and then start designing…

Made more rings.  Played with some items I already had in my bead collection.  I also found some stuff at Michaels in the vintage looking area of the bead section.  Went outside and played with hanging the rings on a bush and then put some on the red brick. The taking the pictures outside was…

The Sabrina Ring!  So I had been searching for months for ring blanks to try out this projects I saw on a mod podge site http://networkedblogs.com/eK3GW I found these ring blanks handmade on etsy . I love them because they look vintage Around 11:30pm the night they arrived I had a bright idea to put a picture…

For this project I used the waterlily set so this would be in the Tami Lyn collection.  I wanted to make a card that looked like a pond.  I happened to find a cut on the cricut that gave me a good card shape.  I stamped about 25 lily pads and colored each one.  I…

This project makes me want to have apple pie!  Lots of stamping, coloring, and playing with ribbon!  Still no name for the collection. 

Recently I was asked what I was doing up until 3am.  My answer…coloring. One of my favorite things to do is color.  I find it so relaxing.  There are many creative things that I love to do, but when I sit down and color I can block out the world.  My new favorite coloring tool is…

New addition to the Ashlee Collection!  Welded two frames to make into a shadow card for the main frame with the image.  Dimensional magic is used on some parts of the image.  Cute little bow up top adds to the sweetness of the card.  I had to use some glue to keep the bow strands…
