Any Occasion to Encourage! Easy card

 Hello Crafty Friends!

This card was pretty quick!  I used pre-made embellishments, patterned papers, ribbon and of course, Dew Drops by Robin's Nest. 

Hop over to their Design Team Blog for complete instructions and to see many amazing projects to inspire your creativity. 

My cards seem to keep getting BIGGER :o), I need more space to create! This is a half fold of regular 8.5 x 11" cardstock, so the card front is 5.5 x 8.5".  The focal point butterfly is 4"!  Purchased at the local Dollar Store in Sanford, get there! They have a new shipment of Crafter's Square items. You're welcome.

Thanks for stopping by the Blog today, I hope you are inspired to create during our lovely heat wave, here in Maine, or at least start hoarding supplies for Winter :o)

Trash to Treasure

This lovely gazing ball was made from 2 different vanity glass globes!

 Simply spray paint the glass globes, the ball should be metallic.

Embellish with Dew Drops by Robin's Nest and use a strong adhesive to attach

the ball to the base. I recommend E-6000.

Recycle and Reuse :o)

Thanks for stopping by the blog, I hope you're inspired to create today.

Fall Greeting Card

 Hello Crafty People!

Today, I made a card using one of my sketches for the Coffee Bean Design Team.

Such a fun card!

The background is one of my favorite techniques!

Spray cardstock with adhesive spray and adhere crinkled tissue paper, then paint with acrylic or glaze. It resembles leather, or in this case, looks like tree bark!

Hop over to the Coffee Beans Blog for more inspiration. 

If you have any questions, please feel free!

Craft on!

Fall mini-canvas

 I miss summer already, but the vibrant colors of Autumn are breathtaking!

I was able to enjoy the view while traveling out of town to a meeting :o)

Here's a little color inspiration. 

A small 6x6 canvas with acrylic painted background and bare trees with Dew Drops by Robin's Nest for the fallen leaves.  The entire project was spritzed with gold metallic spritzer and it brought it all together.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.  Please check out the Chattering Robin's blog for more inspiration. 

Craft on!

Time for school!

 Using one of the fall sketches I did for the Coffee Bean design team, I made this 12x12 scrapbook page. 

Mix up some patterned paper, distress ink and a tag with some silk leaves. 

Get back to school! 🙂

Until next time, craft on!

Here, fishy fishy

Hello Crafters!

Today's project is messy, but fun. 

I love the vibrant colors of the background pour. 

Add a painted fish and dew drop bubbles, viola!

Until next time, craft on!

 Hello Crafters!

I wanted to share this card I made for the Coffee Bean Design Team with one of the images I sketched.

The cup was printed on glossy photo paper. Yes, I know..... I need to work on my blending :o) 

I used Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, then cut the image out.

The background is some board shelf lining paper and a scan of lace on a pillow case.

The edges and tag were inked with Ranger's Antique Linen. 

The sentiment was printed onto beige paper, a tag punch was used, inked and adhered with a mini brad. 

It's all mounted on A4 white cardstock. 

Thanks bunches for stopping by the blog today!

Have a fabulous day and craft on!

Playing Around with Epoxy

I just had to experiment with epoxy and the Dew Drops by Robin's Nest.

It was better than expected!  SO EASY, but really pretty and practical.

Time to dust off those silicone molds you haven't used in a while :o)

Enjoy!

If you need the instructions, hop over to the Robin's Nest Design Team Blog.

As always, if you have any questions at all, don't hesitate. 

I'm happy to help.

My First Coffee Beans Design Team Post!

 Hello Crafty Friends!

This is my first project on the Crafty Beans Design Team Blog. 

You'll find all the details there. 

I've made a "dirty" pour canvas and used the fish sketch.
