Mixed Media Collage Canvas

I am just about to head off for school pick up, but wanted to quickly show you all a sneak peak of my canvas collage.  A SLOW work in progress.  I can blame my procrastination tendecies with this one trying to make it all perfect so I keep changing bits and pieces.  Some techniques used so far painting, spray painting, glimmer mist and some glitter.  Of course as you can see the gorgeous birdcage from Kaisercraft is the main feature.

Hoping to have this finished by the end of the week so I can start the next one. hehehe.

Martha Stewart Fringe Scissors

I LOVE these scissors, did I mention that before.  I finally got the chance to open my own pair and have a play.  So many ideas so little time.  Here is just a starter with a cute little card.  These scissors are really smooth and easy to use and cut beautifully.  Given you are cutting 4 strips at one time.  They definitely get the thumbs up from me.

How bright and fun is this card. So easy to put together and yet so effective and different.  You can do so many things with these scissors.  To grab your own pair (and these are a must have tool for any papercrafter I have decided) you can find them here.

I have been working on a mixed media canvas over the last few days.  I will update with some photos soon as I have been taking a few along the way.  Loving the idea of using different mediums to create something unique.  I think I will be addicted to making a few more of these.  Can't wait to share.

Yippee I did a happy dance and a very loud sqeal of delight when these bags arrived from the mailman this morning.  My kids were like - Ahh What are you so excited about??  I know its a bit tragic really to get excited about white paper bags, but these are not just any paper bags.  These are Glassine White Waxy Semi transparent paper bags.  Don't take my word for it take a look at how you can use these.  I have been searching everywhere to stock these so of course I am super happy when I find them and add them to the shop.  You can find them in our party supplies department here

Remember that butterfly covered doily using our amazing twine from a few posts ago, well I knew it would come in handy somewhere.  This is cute gift Idea inside the bag there is a CD wrapped in some gorgeous paper and finished off in a glassine bag with the decorated doily to finish it off and a tiny pink flower peg.  All that's left is to add a card.  So cute, so versatile, make sure you grab a batch today.  These would make the most adorable lolly bags, love that you can see through them.

Sunday Inspiration

Love this little message.  Where are you resisting change??  I know there are several areas of my life where I just keep bucking the current.  This is a great reminder that each day is a new day to make a change no matter how small to that end goal.  Guess what??? the universe is always patiently waiting to assist when it sees you are on board and ready to move forward it will then double your effort each and every time.

Happy Sunday Everyone!
