Testing the new blog divider...

Under Construction!

I will hopefully have my blog up and running in the next couple of days...hopefully even sooner! After a long hiatus due to a crazy life, I am looking forward to getting back to the blogging world. So stay tuned...I hope my blog will be better than ever! Drop me a line and let me know what you think!

I am here...really I am!

Sorry to be MIA. We've all been very sick around here since Christmas...yes since CHRISTMAS! It has really been brutal. I will have some new stuff to post within the next couple of days...I promise. Until then...

This is one of the projects featured in this months webisode of Art & Soul.

Check out this months webisode of Art & Soul called Oh Baby! if haven't already. Yet another inspiring video brought to you by Jeanette and crew. Speaking about Jeanette, have you been checking out her blog? If you love CTMH like I do, then you'll love checking out her blog for great inspiration with the great CTMH products we all love!

Hopefully this ties you over until I can post again! ;) Thanks for hanging in there!

Teacher's Gift

I was in a panick last night when I realized that today is the last day of school and I had NOTHING for Emalyn's teacher. I scoured my favourite blogs and found this idea over on Nichole Heady's blog. Her blog is one of my absolute favourites...especially if I am looking for a project idea. I was VERY pleased with how this all came together and for hardly no money at all! It didn't take very long to make, I loved the colours and the ribbon made the whole thing come together so nicely. And the hand dipped chocolate covered marshmallows were a breeze to make but added such a gourmet feel to this gift.

You can check out Nichole's entire project post here. You'll have to scroll down a ways to find it.

All wrapped up and ready to give...complete with a tag signed by Emalyn.

Off Road Birthday Card

This is a card I made for my brother's birthday. I struggle with masculine cards as I LOVE bling and flowers and all things shiny! My brother is definitely NOT a blingy guy so I had to come up with something that suited him and this stamp from CTMH's Off Road set was perfect. I am happy with how it turned out. I think I am getting the hang of the watercolouring technique...it looks really great with these type of stamps.

Hopefully I have some more posted for you soon! Thanks for hanging in there with me!
