A Little Art: Scrunched and Distressed Leaves

A Little Art: Scrunched and Distressed Leaves

I have decided that I absolutely LOVE altering letters! Here’s a fun little project that I made to hang on the walls of my new studio…. I bought the paper so long ago and created this rather quickly and tossed out the little edge that says who makes it…. so I apologize for not being able to tell you right off who made it. {Click on photos for larger views} The E is a hardboard letter that I picked up…

Where The Rubber Hits The … errr…. Acrylic Block! A Tutorial

Better late than never…. I DID tell you I was working on a tutorial last week… 🙂 As I type this, I am relishing in the sound of plaster being sawed off the walls and am giddy with excitement to hear the sound of the saw riiiiiiiiiiippppppppppppppppping through the nasty acrylic bathtub and surround that currently makes up my master bath “oasis”.

It’s been a super long day (as usual). I worked today and then came home and went swimming…. not in MY pool (cuz it’s still filtering and sanitizing) but the brand spankin’ new Payson City Pool!

We’ve been anxiously awaiting the completion of this pool…

EWE… a Pop Up Tutorial

EWE… a Pop Up Tutorial

That’s Ewe as in Ewe, not “ewwwww”… LOL! 😛 Here’s my most recent contribution as guest designer for Sweet n Sassy Stamps…. This is a fun pop up card that I made using Sweet n’ Sassy’s “Adoption Day” & “Funny Farm” stamp sets. I love these little sheep! If I had some “puffy stuff” to paint on them, they’d be even more darling! Every family has an “oddball” in their family or has welcomed a new person such as an…
