tackle boxes?

Hmm while i was clearing out some things i found a tackle box i got from my fathernlaw it had spring loaded lids like 8 or so back to back. I thought oh dont throw that out i may need it lol.

well after some thought i said hmm got a lot of leftover letters from chipboard i actualy sat down and separated and placed by abc's in these compartments. Wow now i will only have to go to the box and get my letter out of what i am needing and have all my colors and choices in one little box of a's or b's and so on.

but i did have to place abc in one d,e,f in the other and so on. But hey i can find them now.!

so take a second look at those tackle boxes before you toss them, or the ones the guys dont use anymore in the garage! whoo hoo! i will post a pic tmrw!

Creating Art

We had an amazing great fun at Nels house - We had great food and fun. Gather your freinds and have some relaxing fun. It was so good to catch up with everyone too!

The grungeboard and pigments were a hit!

Art in the making

Speaking of great weather? i created a fun piece inspired by wendys art.

Lots of shimmer havent finished some metal to it.

More pictures -

As you can see when you create, your desk looks like you created a large project. (even when you are only making a little card).

Of course Johanthons desk looks clean now but let me tell you - his looks just like mine when he gets done with one little tree. lol

Ck has come and gone!

CK09 - Wow, it was crazy as usually, mainly the parking lol! But it was so good to see everyone out and about.

Hope every ones creations were as good as they hoped. I myself even found some great things that i wanted to upgrade to. You know how those products are out but once you see all you can do with them you have to have it!

Happy Creating!

Distress Pads

Tim Holtz has line of distress pads but in the old days we used any type of dye base inks. His pads are smaller and easier to hold on to. Larger pads that are not pigment inks can be used with just the corners. You can look through your inkpads and see which are not pigment. Th dye base pads stay whetter so you can manipulate them and move the ink with more moisture ifyou want to add spritz of water. So much you can do with them to add that more vintage or finished look.

products and projects

I will doing show and tell soon. I have made the last batch for Ck 09 - creating keepsakes show in Tulsa will be here soon. I have boxes covering my living area ready to go to the show and get rid of. But i promise you these are fun kits. I think the papers are fun that we will be working with. I guarantee you all will learn something new! - and i will see my living area again!

Jens Art party

These have been so fun, we attempt more!

we made some cool bags and fun gift hangers.

Art Fun

We had a blast - at the Art party - of Nancy's
You will have to try one. Nanc got some great free products and the gals all liked the free guest gift!


Distressing and masking was fun and the Tim Holtz masks were a new twist too! Gotta try them!

My own little artist

Or should i say my little man is no longer little - awww

He has an art side to him which i am estatic, could it be possible he has more products than i?

want to show you his desk - the pic does no justice but you get the drift.

Where has the time gone!

I thought i would be keeping up with posting but finally the home fronts are settling that i will be hopefully able to post! I cant believe summer is almost over, i have been to so many appointments and such that i didn't have time to smell the roses! or anything at that point but did lots of grilling at least for dinners.

Great item found!

Forget found object, oh my - got a chance to go to flea market and found the most awesome desk. It called to me, been looking for that perfect desk for Johnathon, my little artist whom has more paints and brushes than moi! if you can believe that!

This is a metal desk with french writing! oh my it is sooo cool i think and has a nice drawer.

Mr. little bob Ross just got so involved and we have been working with canvas, acrylic and such which is my fave anyway. He is really getting into it and watches the 3 hour video each day yes! each day! talk about ocd. hmmm lol

I am happy he is into art i had not forced him into it but worked on him getting into some colors instead of black only. But little did i know he would be obsessed and steal my stuff! i have to keep most of mine under lock and key, heave forbid if i leave anything out.

He has got better at not being tempted since he has most of everything i have lol

Pics to follow soon!
