Alcohol Inks with Altered Frame!

Hello friends! Can you believe it's April already..?!! Even though I always associate spring with rain and flowers, here in Alberta we don't get a lot of rain - and June is actually the rainiest month. However, this month the new challenge on the Emerald Creek Craft Supplies blog is Singing In The Rain, and I was totally inspired to create something that was rainy, but said Springtime! It was my sister's birthday a couple weeks ago and I wanted to make her a little something personal to go along with her gift card. She loved it!

Be sure to head over to the Emerald Creek Craft Supplies blog to see closeups on my project and get all the details on this month's challenge - with a chance to win - woo hoo!! Have an awesome week friends!

Southern Ridge Trading Company - A Frosty & Fun Layout!

Hello! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! We got our tree decorated and put up lots of fun Christmasy decor in the house and spent Sunday making Christmas Cards with some friends - so we are definitely in the spirit! Today, I'm over on the Southern Ridge Trading Company blog with a lovely winter layout using a photo of the girls and their sleds on one of our first snow days in Alberta, which was quite early - in October. While the adults were all grumbling a bit, the kids thought it was fantastic and spent their time after school sledding down the nearby hills! I used some beautiful chipboard and wood veneer embellishments from the SRTC Shop to add to the snowy, sledding theme and had so much fun creating!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to head over to the Southern Ridge Trading Company blog to get all the details and a supply list. I hope you have a wonderful week ahead!

Canvas Corp Brands - Christmas Blog Hop!

Hello friends! I am so excited to be participating in the Canvas Corp Brands Christmas Blog Hop today!! If you aren't familiar with Canvas Corp Brands, this wonderful company owns Canvas Corp, Tattered Angels and 7gypsies - three amazing companies themselves with beautiful, well made and trending products.  There is such an awesome assortment of goodies in the CCB Shop you'll have no problem choosing just the right products for your own projects! Today, I'm sharing a lovely Christmas Apron, and I can't wait to show you. 🎄 I started off by using one of the pre-sewn Canvas Corp canvas aprons. They are a great sturdy material and perfect to customize for any holiday or some special person on your Christmas Gift List!

I gathered a piece of the pretty blue ticking fringe and sewed it along the top of the apron.

I grabbed a pre-sewn canvas flower and sprayed it with Rose Gold Glimmer Mist and then added a cute reindeer button. I attached it to the apron with a safety pin so I could remove it if I needed to.

The Tattered Angels High Impact Paints were perfect to paint in the cute reindeer from an iron on transfer I found at Michaels. It looks so vintage and they remind me of the transfers I used to paint on as a kid!

SpiegelMom Scraps - Coffee Canvas!

Hi friends! I'm posting on the SpiegelMom Scraps blog today and sharing this cool coffee canvas I painted while my girls & I were at Michaels recently. We dropped in and Michaels was providing the paint when you purchased a canvas. I opened Pinterest and found a coffee sign I liked and just hand sketched it and started painting! I think when you don't overthink it and just have fun with some things they end up being some of the things you like the best. And, of course, because I LOVE coffee, I love how this turned out! 💙

Here's a look at what my girlies painted - and how the canvas looked before I added the words and awesome SpiegelMom Scraps Aquarius Sequin Mix! Amie painted a sunset, and Erica painted popsicles with ears!

Getting Messy

In these cute photos of Amie painting and coloring I wanted to use some bright primary colors, and decided to use the Cricut to cut out some words and die-cuts.  I used my Distress Inks to highlight the die-cuts and I actually like that better than layering colors of cardstock/paper.
