Creating is fun baby themed blog hop

Here are two baby projects i created using gorgeous lace from Martha's zibbet shop at http://www.zibbet.com/createdbymartha

The first one is of my beautiful niece maggie when she was a baby using Simple stories FABULOUS collection which i love because it is so bright and cheery and i had a chance to use my beautiful orange lace from marthas shop which i love.  It is a 12x12 canvas layout that i painted hot pink and then had some fun around the edges sponging on some orange yellow and brown.  I love doing layouts on canvas that way i can put them up in my scrappy space without having to get them framed. The second 12x12 layout is of my niece as well using Prima songbird and MME be happy collection.  I used small lace trim around the page and to frame the picture from marthas shop.

A Canvas Layout- My beautiful Family

I am so in love with doing canvas's right now and i think it is because i can hang them up.  It has been a while since i have done layouts and it feels kinda good to get back into it.  I love paper and i could use a whole line on a layout, its crazy.  This canvas i painted with brown acrylic paint.  The paper i used is DCWV garden teaparty.  I just love this paper, it has my three fave colors in it which is peach brown and creams. Gorgeous paper.. The flowers i used on this are from I am roses as well as Wild orchid crafts.  The white spray i used is from Karlas001 etsy store and the gorgeous laces are from Created by martha's zibbet shop at www.zibbet.com/createdbymartha. I used chippie pieces from Prima Songbird line which matched this paper so well and a chipboard key from a TH die cut.  I bought the heart shaped doiley at micheals and the flat pearls are from SACRAFTERS zibbet store. This is going to be a surprise for a friend and i know it will be beautiful with her family pictures on it... I hope you enjoy and i thank you for looking. hugs xo

my mixed media projects

well i have just fell right in love with mixed media.  i have been watching youtube videos like crazy and decided to just give it a go and try it.  I LOVE IT SO MUCH.  I love getting paint all over my hands and shirt lol.. Sometimes it hits the face and hair too, but i love it.  It brings out the kid in me and makes me very happy.  So i though i would share the canvas's i have done so far from number one till now.  Christy Tomlinson is amazing and a great teacher, you can find her on youtube, search for scarletlime channel.  I think you would love it if you tried it.

well i hope you like them and stay tuned for more to come.  I just bought a whack of mixed media products so this is a hobby for a while lol.. hugs xo

Here are some of the projects I created in Celebration of My Mom and her day.
First is a card, i wanted it all to be very feminine and have the dressform by tim holtz incorporated into every project. Where it is Spring for mothers Day I also figured banners would be so much fun. This was my first time doing a banner. On my canvas i got to incorporate both a banner and the dressform. I had so much fun doing these projects for my beautiful mother.. I think they express how beautiful and dainty i think she is..

I hope you enjoyed my card, canvas and mom banner and i thank you for looking. next stop goto Maria at http://riacreations.blogspot.com/
