Morning Glory

Hello and happy Saturday blogging friends! I hope that each and every one of you has a wonderful weekend. I was playing around with a 5"x 5" canvas the other day that I treated with Gesso (it had a frog on it, you know one of those small canvases for children that has an image already on it) and added some texture paste around the edges. I had never done that before and was quite happy how it turned out. After cutting a few Spellbinders shapes and stamping this gorgeous Morning Glory stamp by Our Daily Bread Designs, I just added a few ZVA Creative pearls and a handmade tulle flower with crocheted doily and bling center and a sweet little braided trim that I've had forever in my stash, this sweet canvas was done. Have a look for yourself

So, what do you think? After I was done putting it all together, I thought that this would be another sweet gift idea.  Matter of fact, if you leave me a comment and let me know what you think, this could be yours. I will pick one of the comments, so please make sure you leave me a way of contacting you, and this canvas could be yours!

Faith...Love

Hello there and happy Tuesday. Goodness, it has been a crazy weekend and bumpy start into the new week. Both of my girls got sick......not so much and yesterday we had some appointments and my little one needs to have her tonsils taken out. She is not happy about that. Anyhow, I have a sweet little wall hanging to share with you today. Have you seen those canvas covered chipboard albums that are available from several companies? Well, I found some locally and used one of the pages as my base for this beauty that I am about to share with you. I have also used the brand new Quatrefoil Pattern die that Our Daily Bread Designs just released, Romantic Floral Designs and one of the Quotes from the 5th Anniversary stamp sets. Have a look

Faith.....Love

Hello and Happy Wednesday sweet blogging friends. I have a fun project to share with you all today. My neighbor was throwing out some stuff and she asked me if I wanted any of it. Well, the collector that I am, I just had to go through her box and pick a few things. :D

Among the things I pulled out were a few frames, some glass containers and 3 very well loved clip boards. You know those Kraft looking, really boring ones. I finally took one of those clip boards and jazzed it up a little. Check it out

Well, this is it for me for this morning, gotta run some errands.

Thanks so very much for stopping by. I truly appreciate you leaving me sweet comments.
