Whoo Loves Ya Baby

Here's is a layout using an owl chipboard diecut from 3TailsCraft. He is such a cutie! First I painted him but then I decided I didn't like how the paint looked. I decided to use glitter to cover up what I could. I got those adorable eyes with eyelashes at Michael's. I think they go well with the picture of my sweet grandaughter. I used my new Martha Stewart around the page punches. I love this set! The papers are made by Glitz and are from their Hoopla collection. The flowers are a mixture of Petaloo and Prima. I also used two stamps on this page. The lower right corner is a Bo Bunny stamp, and the butterfly in the top right corner is a punch that was given to me. Well hope you enjoy. Be sure to come back tomorrow. There's something happening!

Old Cowgirl Denim Pocket

Here's my second denim pocket for the swap I am in. Boy did this one give me trouble. I thought when I found this image that it would be easy to work with. But I had a vision and I just couldn't achieve it. I had no intentions of putting butterflies on it. I really wanted to keep it western, but I don't have anything like that. I do hope to change the handle to leather before I send it. But if not, it will have to go the way it is now. I really need your critique on this one! I don't want to send something that isn't great! Please give me feedback!

Denim Pocket Art

I am in another swap, and this time we are using denim pockets. I have finished one and only have one more to go.  Denim makes me think of the 1940's and Norman Rockwell. So, I went on the web searching for some Norman Rockwell art that I could work with. I love this image. It is so sweet, and I do believe it is perfect for a denim pocket. I used lace, pearls, flowers and burlap.  There's also some old patterned paper that I have probably had for years. So you may want to hang on to that old paper. You never know when you may need it! I used a Martha Stewart punch for the sprigs under the flowers. That's pretty much it. Now here's the finished product. I hope you enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!

Look what the Fed Ex man brought me!

Look at what Simply Renee sent me! I am thrilled! Can't wait to put them up. That's my project later this afternoon/this evening. I have pretty much decided what I am going to hang on them. Can't wait to free up some more space in my room! I will post pictures when I am done. But for now, here is what received.
