Canvas Art Workshop Special and a Class

I absolutely LOVE this Workshop!  I was looking for something special to hang on the wall at the top of my stairs, and this was just perfect.

This is a beautiful 12 x 12 printed canvas, and it comes with all the pieces necessary to make lovely decor for your home.  The best part is that this month it is just $19.95!  Let me tell you what you get in this workshop:

Use the materials and instructions in this kit to create a 12" × 12" canvas display. This kit comes with Dimensional Elements in two different color schemes to create a look that is uniquely yours. This workshop project is ideal for creating as a group or on your own and takes approximately 1 hour to complete.

Included in the kit: 
1 – My Acrylix® Canvas Art Workshop Stamp Set (C-size) 
1 – 12" × 12" Printed Canvas Display 
1 – Cashmere Baker's Twine (1 yard) 
10 – Clear Sparkles (10mm)

Perhaps you'd like to take this class without having to worry about getting the inks, blocks, or necessary tools.  I am offering this workshop as a class, and I will provide the "extras" necessary to complete your project.  Just let me know if you'd like to reserve a kit and space in the class.  I have 6 spots available!

He is My Home

I've had a picture sitting on my desk for almost a week that I wanted to put to paper.  One thing or another has kept me from getting it done, but this morning, before I did anything else, I sat and worked with it.  I have to get the grocery shopping done today, but I thought I'd have a much better attitude toward the whole errand process if I exercised my creative muscles a little bit first!  (I know I can't be the only only one that doesn't like grocery shopping!)

I went right to Sketchabilities to find a sketch, and their new one was perfect for what I wanted to do!

This is a photo of Shane and me from 22 years ago.  I remember the day as clear as it was yesterday.  I have said this before, but I am really grateful that over the years I have not been a chronological scrapbooker.  I love that I still have photos of Shane's little boy years to scrap because it allows me to go back and remember those blond-hair-little-boy days.  I love the "subway art" look that is gaining popularity in the scrapbook world, and that's what I've worked into this page.  The paper is Later Sk8r, and I've used a variety of stamps - Sightseer, Canvas Art stamp set, and It's Your Day (retired).  These are stamp sets that have great versatility and allow for cluster such as I've done.  I did a little hand stitching with black embroidery thread on the bottom left and top right.  Other embellishments I've used are Epoxy Bubbles, Outdoor Denim Baker's Twine, Outdoor Denim Buttons, and Tiny Epoxy Alphabet.  Here's a close up for you of the embellishments.

Now that I've had my fun, I suppose I'd better head to the grocery store or I may not be able to make dinner for my husband tonight!

Home

I've spent some time in the past couple of days putting a mini album together.  I still was thinking about more ways to use our textiles.

I loved making this bow that wrapped around the front cover.  Tulle and bling always add a little something extra, so it was an easy choice to add that in.  The "home" comes from the stamp set that goes with the Canvas Workshop on the Go.  That is a great stamp set, and you'll see it used throughout the pages.  When I made my canvas, I had many Dimensional Elements-In Color leftover from the kit, so I've used through the album, too.

The bulk of the pages are Dimensional Element Album Pages.  I love these because we have a matching Cricut Artiste key, so that makes it quick and easy to put the album together.  Oh!  I should tell you that this is For Always paper and there are some matching stickease throughout.

I added a chevron notebook page here.

At this point, you'll see an envelope for little memorabilia.

This is a file folder from the Artiste cartridge. 

These mini albums are great because you can add whatever you'd like using bits and pieces of this and that.  What a great gift!
