Inspired by: Shelley Haganman

Today I was inspired by Shelley Haganman of {ScrapperGirl} & The Scrap Review.

For one, I love the design of the house and landscape.

But the big reason why I love this project it because it was a

NO-Sew project!!

It looked like she broke out the sewing machine to make this happen!

She used Canvas Corp's Canvas FabricPage to make into a pillow.  The FabricPages can come double-sided sewn together and you can pick it open to create a pillow!  Love it, Shelley!  Now I will have to go make one!

Beautiful Butterflies...

One of our family's favorite movies is

A Bug's Life.

I love that part where Hemlich the large caterpillar

becomes a beautiful butterfly...with his tiny little wings.

My son watched it over & over & over again,

back when it was on VHS.  I think we went through

several tapes until we upgraded to a DVD.

This was super easy to make!

I used Canvas Corp Chunky Stretched Canvas &

Corkstock {it has an adhesive backing click here for more info}

that was cut out into butterflies

using the Accu-Cut die cutting machine.

Then I just added bling, stitching, sticker letters {fresh & happy}, punched

out bunnies {Martha Stewart punch} and etc to

make this a very spring-y project. 

 I love how anything that I hang on this old window looks perfect!

Have a wonderful day!

Meet Gnorman the Gnome...

Meet my newest friend

Gnorman the Gnome.

He greets our friends in our entryway.

 This is what Gnorman looked like when I first met him at HobLob.

I thought that he would fit perfect on my entry table if he was a different color.

So, blue he became...
I used Americana Bahama Blue Paint from DecoArt.

Have a fun day!

Bloom & Grow Banner

This is a banner that I made to attach to my fun little cabinet door that I

got at the flea market. 

It is sitting on my ledge in the entryway to greet our guests...

I made it to hopefully inspire you to enter the

Canvas Corp Banner Contest,

it ends on March 31st and they have amazing prizes for 3 lucky winners!

{Details Here}

I used Canvas Corp Burlap and Canvas Shapes to make this.

The "l" and the 2nd "o" are on a little 2"x2" stretched canvas.

Please email me if you have any questions!!

Today we had to do a little updating of our computer and printer...

It was a long time coming, but we just couldn't drag it on any longer.

Good bye slower than molasses computer, hello mega speed!

So, I was able to get the nicest printer that I have ever had.

No more trips to *-Mart for photos!!

I chose an Epson Artisan 835 because it is more for the person

that wants to print out quality photos...like me!

Have a fabulous weekend!

A little present for a friend...

One of my favorite things to do when I get home from church

on Wednesday nights is to tune in on the House of 3 Webshow.

Last week Heidi Swapp was showing

how to make cute altered notepads. 

So, with my friend's birthday coming up...I thought that this

would be a fun little gift for her.  You know, for that friend

that has everything already...

I used a 12"x12" sheet of paper and cut it 8 1/2"x12".

I decided to have it open in the middle.

So, to help it stay shut I had to add the ribbon to it.

The middle bow is only attached on one side of the flap.

This notepad is a 5"x8" size, I bought a pack of 6 for cheap at my

local discount store.

I cut two slits, one at the top and then one towards the bottom

to feed the back of the pad through.

Have a Delightful day!

A Bird's Nest

Hey, let all of your birdie friends know that I have a

"Nest For Rent".

I really do need to find a cute bird to live in it!

Any suggestions on how to make one?

I have a tutorial on how I made this nest over on the

Canvas Corp Blog {click here}.

Have a Delightful Weekend!

Card Sets...a Necessity

I made these cards today...

I have a little tutorial on the Canvas Corp Blog about it

{click here}

I need to replenish my card supply.  I love having homemade cards

on hand ready to go...birthdays, thank you, blank cards and etc.

I found this beauty at the Flea Market yesterday. It is amazing how

I go in there just wanting to get one thing and I come out

with a load!  I just can't help myself.

Now I just have to find the perfect place for it.

Have a beautiful day!

A Tray full of Spring Delights

I just made this little pretty.

It just made my heart jump when I was designing with

flowers, birds, banners, spring colors...

{you can click on the picture to get upclose}

 I used the 7 Gypsies Paper Tray...{before}

 After...

I just love that every little box has it's own personality.

 I made this circle flower using Canvas Corp's new Handmade paper...

 This butterfly was cut out using the Accu-Cut die cutting system with the

Canvas Corp Corkstock paper.

Love it!  You can even stamp on it and create a whole new effect!

 I love the dimensional look!  The Canvas Corp Burlap and Canvas

{stretched canvas frames} that are the small 2"x2" size worked in perfectly.

Enjoy your Day!!
