First Post as a Creative Paperclay® Design Team Member!

I am so excited to have been asked to join the Design Team for Creative Paperclay®!

My hope is to give you inspiration and tips on becoming 

a Creative Paperclay® addict  expert!

My first project includes a Gnome Home for this little Gnome piggy!

I love how it turned out. It kind of reminds me of the

story of the 3 Little Pigs!

No wolf is going to blow this home down!

He can huff and puff all he wants!

Just in case you would like to know......his name is Winston!

If you would like to see the process of how I completed this Home, head on over to the 

Creative Paperclay® blog HERE!

I hope you enjoyed my first post as a Creative Paperclay DT member!

Let me know what you think and how I did for my first mission!

The Artist on the Block - Block 2 & 3

The Artist on The Block take 2!

Meaning 2 more blocks to share with you!

I showed you the middle block of the three blocks that I won.

So today I will share with you the small block and the large block!

I am telling you...these are addicting!!!

I need more! I have so many ideas!

Okay here is the little one!

Front

I wanted this to look dimensional and vintage.

So I used paper that resembled mixed media, then added buttons and snaps.

 Side view- of course I had to use Distress inks and ruff that paper up.

 Top, side, front

 Back

On to my next block-I wanted it to look like a old beat up trunk.

I achieved that by using grunge paper, distress inks, and paints.

I used Tim Holtz Box Corners, which really makes it look like a old

trunk. I really beat up the grunge paper to give it that old worn look.

 I even made small handles

 Here are the two together

 I really like the way these turned out!

 I am telling you....the ideas running around in my mind are endless!

I must get these dies.

 Here are my 3 Artist on the Block creations. 

This is the next best thing to chocolate! Yes you read that right!

 I am hooked!

Thanks for stopping by.

Have you heard about The Artists on The Block?

It had it's big debut at CHA!

It is a Eileen Hull Design!

Well, I was lucky enough to win these 3 blocks and the Stencil Girl stencil. Some might say big deal!
I would tell them it is a BIG DEAL! You can create some pretty awesome things with just a block!
You need to visit The Artist on The Block blog and see what a block can do! Or shall I say, what you can do to a block!
You can also follow them on Facebook!

I am sharing the middle size block with you today!

This is what I made with my block. It is a music box and it plays "What A Wonderful World".  One of my all time favorite songs. I love the way this block turned out. I sure hope you share in the beauty of this block!

Here is a front/side view

So see it is a BIG DEAL!

If you enjoyed this post, I will post tomorrow with the small and large blocks!
