Spreading J O Y with Flowers ...

Hi Everyone! Happy Holidays! I love the season but I'm not a fan of the hectic, crazy pace that goes along with the preparations. One of these years I'll take the week prior to the Holidays off ... This week at work has been over the top busy so my post will be a quick one. I wanted to share my latest Petaloo project. Keeping in the canvas mode I created three 4x4 canvases with Petaloo's gorgeous Velvet Hydrangeas. For close-ups check out my post >>HERE<< ... these canvases were super easy and make a great decoration or gift ...

I'll be posting another fun 8x8 Winter canvas for Creative Imaginations within the next few days! Have a great week and wish me luck surviving the next two work days!!! See you soon!

Hop on Over ....

Canvas Board + Petaloo = FUN!

WOW, I'm back again so soon! Imagine that! I just finished up a project for Petaloo that I wanted to share with you. I started with a blank 8x10 canvas board and added patterned papers, paints, stamps, rub-ons, modeling paste and created a fun mixed media background. I then added a photo courtesy of Heather Chick - isn't Kelsie the absolute cutest !!! - and some GORGEOUS Petaloo flowers, vine sprays and butterflies and came up with this ...

 

 
 
I'm in mixed media heaven - unfortuantely for my wallet but GREAT for my renewed creativity! TFL and have a great Labor Day Weekend! I have FOUR DAYS off and there are blank canvases calling my name!
