Ornament Swap

Happy Sunday,

This week I wanted to share an ornament I decorated for an ornament swap.

I purchased the wood cutout and started adding my touches. First I put some bling at the tip of the branches and at the end of each scroll. Then I added a few dew drops, charms and flowers. The flowers were white and I sprayed them with dylusions ink spray. I used stickles for the glittery spots and finished it off with a some bells and a ribbon. It's decorated on both sides just in case it sways around while it's hanging on the tree. I hope my swap partner likes it.

SweatShirt

Happy Sunday,

This week I want to share a shirt I just purchased. It hasn't come in yet but I'm really excited to get it. I bought mine as a sweatshirt in lime green but the saying is the same. I thought with the holidays coming up this might make a cute gift for one of your crafty friends or if you have a retreat coming up your group can each get a shirt. There are many different crafty saying on t-shirts to hoodies. I have attached the link to the website below in case you are interested.

I am not affiliated with this company and I do not receive anything for promoting them. I just like the idea of their crafty saying shirts.

Sunflower

Happy Sunday,

This week I wanted to play with my watercolor pencils. I drew the picture with a light brown and colored it in with the water color pencils. Then I used a water brush to color over an activate the pencil coloring. Added the quote from a stamp I had. I still think this looks more like a colored page than a water color page. Not sure what I did wrong, any ideas? Let me know if you have some tips to use water color pencils with a water brush.

Captain Cave Man

Happy Sunday,

I was cleaning and decluttering my craft room and came across this photo. I guess when I printed it years ago I was planning on doing something with it and never did. So I just quickly added it to a page rather than throw it out. Apparently my husband and the guys he works with likes to play jokes on each other. My husband went to his truck to come home from work and this was drawn on the window. To this day he still does not know who did it. I'm gonna guess it the guy who my hubby nailed his work bucket to the floor so he couldn't lift it up or it could have been the guy who my hubby put all kinds of pink girly stickers and kiddy puffy stickers on his work cart. Imagine pulling your cart around on a construction site and not knowing the stickers are there and getting all these looks from the other tradesman. Sometime I wish I could be a fly on the wall at these jobs.

Another Year Completed

Happy Sunday,

I'm really excited to share my post this week. I started a 12x12 album of my granddaughter that holds a 2.5 x 3.5 layout for each month. She was born on November 17, 2013 so I have the first two pages completed and I'm ready to start the third page and that will begin with her birthday picture. I try to get a picture that was taken as close to the 17th of each month as possible. It's fun to see all the changes in her over the last two years.
