Mixed Media Christmas Canvas

Happy Holidays! I can't believe there's only 2 days until Christmas, where does the time go? Hubby and I are grateful to spend a few days with each of our 4 girls. My mom is also here from Colorado, she has Alzheimer's which makes each visit very precious. I hope and pray that each of you will spend time with your loved ones making new memories!

I wanted to share a Christmas Canvas I made, inspired by Adrienne Ford's, Live With Prima Class! I couldn't wait to make a canvas using some of Adrienne's techniques as well as techniques I'd learned in Finnabair's class! As you can see it's packed with all kinds of Prima goodies! I love Prima Products designed by Finnabair! She is such a fabulous artist and teacher! Hope you'll check out Adrienne's video and enjoy making your own canvas!

Thanks so much for visiting! As always if you have comments or questions, feel free to leave a message!

Have a Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year!

Pretty Little Flip Card!

Hi Everyone! I couldn't wait to show you this little flip card I made with my Anna Griffin Dies from her Flip Card Kit. The kit comes with tons of beautiful cardstock and embellishments! After making several cards I decided to use some Graphic 45 paper I had on hand. I thought if would be fun to also make some matching flowers by using a couple sizes of punches. WARNING...they are addicting!!! I always love the idea of using up some of my paper pads and this was the perfect project for that! Hope you'll give this a try!

I'd love to hear from you if you'd like to leave a comment!

Have a wonderful weekend!

A Happy Birthday "Gorgeous Girl" Easel Card!

Hi Everyone! I couldn't resist, I had to share a second Gorjuss Girl Easel Card with you! There's just something about playing with paper dolls no matter how old we get, isn't there? I'm definitely not an expert with my Copic Markers but I sure do enjoy playing with them. These little cards are a perfect way to use up those 6x6 paper pads we all have sitting around and the prints are just the right size for paper piecing and layering. I hope you'll give it a try!

I'm always so thankful for each of you! As always, I'd love to hear from you!

A "Gorjuss Girl" Easel Card!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! This year was very special for me, I was able to enjoy time with my mom, even though she's in the late stages of Alzheimers. I truly believe this was a holiday she will always remember. I took a few moments to print some pictures to remind her of our time together. A little ziplock bag with a few pictures meant the world to her.

If you're like me you're probably thinking about creating a holiday project! It's such a fun time of year to create! I'm hoping to start on something this week. In the meantime I thought I'd take a few minutes to share a project I made a few months ago. Aren't Gorjuss Girl stamps just adorable? I never get tired of creating cards with them!

I'd love to hear from you, if you have a question or would like to comment, please do! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Class With The Amazing John Creighton Petersen!

Hi Everyone! Hope everyone is enjoying the Fall weather! I had the honor of taking a class this summer at Pages In Time/Mixed Media Store in Nebraska, taught by Prima Educator, John Creighton Petersen. What a fabulous person and so talented! Oh, and BTW he was recently asked to be a member of Finnabair's Design Team...Congrats, John!!!

I really enjoyed creating our class project. It actually started life as a wooden cigar box. Once I took my box home I continued to work on it for short periods until it was finished...two weeks later! I have to admit, I love how it turned out! Be sure to stop by John's blog- Artnewave
