Guest DT ~ Eclectic Paperie

Howdy Peeps...

I am BEYOND EXCITED to have been

asked to be May's Guest Designer
for Eclectic Paperie.

Totally and HONOR and a PRIVILEGE!

For my first creation, I made a canvas.

I began by placing an Artist Stencil by Donna Downey/Prima
on a Canvas Corp ~ 6" x 6" Stretched Canvas.
I painted Multi Medium ~ Matte through the stencil.

I then, colored on the Canvas with various "blue" Gelatos.
Spritzed the canvas with water and "mushed" the colors
around with a paintbrush.
I stamped randomly on the canvas with 

Jet Black Archival Ink
and Christy Tomlinson/Unity Stamps ~ Tattered Chicken Wire.

Now.....It JUST wouldn't be me if
a FLOWER was not involved in my creations.

I diecut 2" circles from

Christy Tomlinson/Pink Paislee's Coffee Filter Sheets

(LOVE LOVE LOVE)

and My Mind's Eye ~ Collectable "Unforgettable" 

6" x 6" paper pad.

I colored the Coffee Filter Sheets with

50's Diner ~ Faber-Castell Gelatos

and spritzed to spread the AWESOME color.

Then I folded the circles in half and

then created a tri~fold and with

my Tiny Attacher, stapled the point. 

I adhered the "Petals" to a diecut
circle and embellished with
Wendy Vecchi's ~ Silver Berry Flower Centers.

I hope you enjoyed my Canvas.
Join me next week
for another little "Loverly"!!!

Been havin' some fun!!!

So.... I noticed I had been in a rut...and as I always say, "Using a Good Sketch will help get you out of a rut!!!"... so I popped over to my new FAVE sketch site....Capture these Sketches and decided to play along with them!!! I went through lots of sketches before I found on that would really stretch me...it was a sketch with LOTS OF WHITE SPACE. I chose Sketch #2 by Natalie and here is my take on this sketch.

I decided to try doing something different with ribbon so I came up with this little ditty!!! I folded the ribbon and tied it together with a Vintage Thread.

The paper used is by My Minds Eye...Spider Web and Creative Imaginations Diecut.

Of course, I had to use a splash of Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist - Copper!! and my ALL TIME FAVORITE saying!!!




"We don't remember days, we remember moments" Cesare Pavese.

So....pop on over...pick a sketch and try it out...I would love to see the page you create!!!


I also had the opportunity to teach at a Scrapbook Retreat put on by Scrappin' Soul Sisters at the Beacon. I got to see some of my gal pals....Paula and Pauline...the theme of the weekend was, "What happens at the Beacons, stays at the Beacon". Tooooo Funny! Thank you to the ladies who took my class....I taught this class...see my Oct 18th post....I might just have to teach it at Generations of Memories....so ladies, this is post #97...in my next post I will show a pict of the RAK I will be giving away....till then CREATE...IT'S A GREAT THOUGHT DIVERTER!
