Sneak Peek!

I am so excited about this post!!!

Have you ever created something that just makes you grin from ear to ear?

Well......This is one of those projects!

I had so much fun sculpting, painting and creating it was like time stood still for me. I was in this glorious place of creating and loving and cherishing every minute of it.

With all of the bad things that have happened in the world, this just took me away. Just for a bit and I loved it.

I used bright bold colors! It was like playing with a rainbow!!!

If you want to see this and learn how to make one for yourself, you will have to visit Resin Craft blog HERE!

Don't be afraid, leave a comment on Resin Craft blog and let me know what you think!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Do you forget to blog?

I always forget to blog!

Do you do that? I get busy doing projects and than forget about blogging them!
I have many behind the scenes projects that I can't show because they are being submitted for magazines or for Company blog posts.

But I have some I can show!

I did a lamp for my great niece. That was different and fun! I found the lamp at Target for $7.48! Bargain!

Add some Deco Art paint and now she has a brand new lamp for her nursery!

 Here is the girl I had painted for her. Now she has the lamp to match! My niece is so into octopuses! The whole nursery is octopuses!

I am also in a tag swap, so I decided to make my own embellishments!

They are turning out quite cute......if I do say so myself!

 Right now I am staining them to give them the old worn look!

I have just finished some projects for Glue Dots® and hopefully will be able to share those soon!

Thanks for popping by!

Feeling good!

Feeling good! 

I was sitting in my space looking at my poor neglected brushes and decided I should paint! I forget how much I enjoy painting! I have these paints from DecoArt media and I have used them in crafting, but not on canvas. I usually use the other brand. So why not try this new stuff and see how it goes!

I can't say enough about how much I LOVE the Misters!!!!

LOVE the drippage and the splats of paint that made my day!

I just wanted to play with the misters! I wish I would have had a giant canvas, I would have been in heaven!

So after I was done with the background (playing) I started on the girl.

This paint is fantastic, I love the coverage I get. I love the colors and how vibrant they are!

So this is how the painting evolved.......this canvas is 10" X 20"

 These bubbles are painted with interference Violet so that they have that bubble color. I wish you could see it here in the pictures!

 Maybe a little in this picture!

 I am happy with her and her friend the Octopus.

I still have the sides to paint and maybe just a few little items to do on the front, but for the most part it is done!

Do I recommend the new line of Media paints from DecoArts®? That would be a big fat YES!!!!

Art with Heart May Challenge: Mixed-Media May-hem with DecoArt Media

Mixed Media May-hem with DecoArt Media!

Hey there creative friends!  It’s May and we have a fun new Art with Heart Challenge for you this month.  Our theme is Mixed-Media May-hem.  The Inspiration Team will be inspiring you with Mixed-Media Sizzix projects featuring DecoArt Media products and techniques all month-long!  So what say you, are you ready for some Mixed-Media May-hem?

My inspiration was this photo. I love vintage canisters, so I decided to make it my mission to recreate the white one!

Might not be exact, but I think it comes close!

Metal verses Scoreboard!

Here is how it is done!

Make your Eileen Hull canisters

Gather your paint

I used

DecoArt Media

First layer - Medium Grey Value 6

 Next layer - Burnt Umber & Dark Gray Value 3

Next layer - Quinacridone Gold 

 Now use some Vaseline in areas you do NOT want your paint to stick.

I dabbed it on using the end of my paint brush

 Paint over the top of it using Titanium White

Once dry, wipe off using paper towel or baby wipes.

Using Saral tracing paper - trace words and paint with Carbon Black

Once dry - lightly sand over words to give them a worn look.

I am in LOVE with this new DecoArt media line! I have been playing more with paints, it has been a while and I am loving it!

I hope you join us in this month's Art with Heart Challenge - Mixed Media May-hem! As always, there is a great prize to be won! Enter HERE!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi all, I am done with my redo of my vintage trailer!

It was done last week but did not get it up in time! Shame on me!!!!!

I just did this to show you there are so many ways this die can be altered. Not all campers have to look alike. You can paint them, add paper to them. I used corrugated cardboard. You can do anything!

While at CHA in the Sizzix booth they had a sample with the roof cut out and it was holding candy!

It was ADORABLE!

So we went from rusty to rad!

The new camper has a bed, cabinets, curtains and a new paint job!

 Check out that floor!

I was just having fun with this one! Hope you liked my redo!

As always keep an eye out on Eileen Hull's blog because the Design team is always coming up with fantastic designs!

Try and enter her monthly challenge....ALWAYS a GREAT PRIZE!!!!!!
