What is your SUPERPOWER?

Welcome to April's CHALLENGE

Well....I don't own any "super hero" stamps

so that isn't my superpower

(as my grandson hangs his head in shame)

But I think my superpower is creating with 'TOVERS

one of my FAVORITE things to do....

you see I was raised....

Waste NOT.....WANT not!

.....so I have a tendency to collect

"useable" pieces parts....'TOVERS.

Here is a quick video of me creating

this 'TOVER Mixed Media Tag.

Here are a few closeups.....

Once I had my "stamped papers" created....

I pulled out a few more of my faves to use....
a bit of paper mesh....
(I brush on a bit of Multi Medium to hold it together.)

that I cut to size.

MERRY Christmas to YOU!!

Hello my friends.....I don't know about you but
I've been on a roll pumping out Christmas Decorations.
You see all of my decorations from "christmas past" are
packed away in my storage unit,
and I can't get to them.... (POOR PLANNING on my behalf!)
....and I just can't make it through this season with our ANYTHING!

So here is one of them..........

I have been working from CCB Farmhouse Christmas Mix and Match pad
.... because IT'S ALL THERE!
printed canvas
 various burlaps
 several printed papers
 kraft paper
 canvas and flute
what is there not to LOVE ABOUT THIS??

I did add my current favorite CCB paper Red & Kraft Ribbon Stripe

I tried to capture the Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Glam ~ Chandelier
.....it didn't work, but it sure is pretty in real life!

I painted Santa's beard, hat and the bottom of his britches
with the Chandelier Glimmer Glam
Can I say.......it just shimmer in the Christmas lights.
If you look closely you can vaguely
see the snowflakes I stenciled onto the CCB Large Stocking

I created a video to share with you showing how I created the flower cluster....

I hope you have enjoyed my creative journey!!
....and I hope you have a very merry Christmas!

Hello my faithful followers!

Thank you sooo much for taking

the time to stop by my blog!

I am soo EXCITED to say 

I have dusted of my videography skills

and for the first time in 2 years I have

loaded a video onto my YouTube channel.

Please be gentle on me.....

I have been in kinda a "valentine" mode!
soooo....I came up with the great idea to create some
Little Love Notes.

From there came the inspiration for

my latest Art Journal spread!

And a third project....

created from the left over

Perfect Paints ~ Polishing Plasters

as shown in my video!

Here is my finished tag...

Leaves cut from Canvas Corp Brands

Pure Mistable Paper ~ Linen ~ White

colored with

Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Glam ~ Organic Garden

I colored a heart cut from

Canvas Corp Brands ~ Burlap

with

Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Mist ~ Barn Red

And the adorable chippie hearts

painted with

Tattered Angels ~ High Impact Paint ~ Antique Gold.

....all of this from ONE IDEA!

HOPE you have enjoyed my creative journey...

never quite know where it'll take me!

Creativity.....a GREAT thought diverter!

Home Made Gift Wrap

Are you looking for a Unique Gift 

to give this holiday season??

I have just the one for you!!

I LOVE making Home Made Gifts....

so this year I went looking for 

just that right gift!

I found it....

Pretzel Turtles!

Can I tell you...

this is very dangerous 

because I LOVE TURTLES!

Now, how to Gift Wrap them??

Because.....As you know...

it's ALL ABOUT the presentation!

I pulled out  a piece of Ivory ~  Canvas Corp Tissue Stock,

a couple Crafter's Workshop stencils,

A jug of gesso and
some Emperor's Gold ~ Silk Acrylic Glaze.

And let the fun begin!

I stenciled on the Tissue Stock.
When dry I pulled out a sheet of

Kraft ~ Canvas Corp Tissue Stock

to complete the Gift Wrap.

I tied the packages up 

using Red & Lime Green Hemp Cord

and a bit of Jute Rope

accented with some gold cording.

I created Gift Tags using 

Scallop Tags and Ties ~ Ivory

and 

I diecut a Holly Branch
from a piece of Lime Green on White Paper,

finished off with a Mini Red Poinsettia.

Now WHO wouldn't want to 

receive one of these Little Ditties as a gift??

Here is the link to the
Pretzel Turtle Recipe

I also created a video sharing
how I created my Gift Wrap!

What a great creative project to make

with your children.

And a great time to teach that it is 

better to GIVE than RECEIVE!!

Other Products Used:
Petaloo ~ Mini Poinsettia
Splash of Color ~ Emperor's Gold ~ Silk Acrylic Glaze
Die~Namites Dies ~ Holly Branch
