My weekend with Shianne

My niece came over Saturday and we spent just about the whole day in the craft room and this is the book she came up with. she did it all by herself all I did was show her how to use the tools and things like that I think she really enjoyed working with her hands and now she has a beautiful journal to talk to her child to be a lovely gift that will keep on giving when that child is old enough to read he/she can sit down and read all about mommy's adventures while they were still in her belly I just love it

this is little miss Shianne and me holding her book. we really must do that again. and when the day was over and she was getting ready to leave I blessed her with my cricut expression and she was in love I hope she has many happy times with it. It is really a great machine I just don't use it like I should I'm in love with my Silhouette. the Cricut really has nothing on my silhouette so why not find the Cricut a home where someone will use it and take care of it. I do believe that Shianne will take good care if it and use it to its fullest  and create many projects with it.

Bird and Butterfly Canvas

Here is a Canvas I made for a dear friend of mine for her new shop that she just opened I hope she likes it

I started with a 6x6 canvas and painted the edges black then added patterned paper in a light gray, I added some black lace to the sides and stared layering flowers until I got the look I liked the center of the small flowers are little pearls

the bible verses are from a pad of verses that was sent to me in a swap I cut them out distressed the edges with some black soot distress ink and mounted them on some pop dots

then I outlined the birds and butterfly's that were already on the paper and added some bling and there you have it I really hope she likes it I enjoyed putting it together knowing that it will be hanging in her shop where every one will see it.
