Owie...the Artist!!

We moved to South Carolina almost 3 years ago to be closer to our Grandguys...

Myles, Sam & Owen.

One of the BESTEST things is spending time with these sweethearts...

I have decided to JUMP BACK into scrapbooking...because I can use my creativity to document the moments in time.....I want to scrap, because it makes me happy.....I do not do chronological ( for me this would be a disaster...I will never be able to "catch up")

Last week....we were painting in their back yard...

Owie....the Artist

Super duper sweetheart....

I used a stamp from my Stampin UP! stash...(yep...still got ALOT of these)

...and THE KIT.....was a Gauche Alchemy....I know..I know....you are saying WITW???...why is she buying stuff she possibly already has in her vast stash???( you were thinking it!..right?)

Well......lookeeee at all the goodies....oh my... wonderful punchinella...assorted flavors & sizes...unique papers...combos that forced me to think outside the box!..Loveeeeeeeeeeeeee!

...and I still have TONS of leftovers to add to my stash!!..I cannot wait til February's kit to get here!

Lots more pages, cards and Home Decor gifties...coming soon to my Etsy shop!

So......for some yummy SpRiNgTiMe inspiration:

 

I scored a box of VINTAGE wooden hangers at GW....my NEW GW that is just a mile from my house...loveeeeee....

 



 

Most of them had Mr. Fred Epting sharpied (is that a word) on them.....half were this type of suit/pants hangers...the other 1/2 were the spring load/clampy ones (no before pic!...sorry)

 

and sooooooooooooooo.......

 

I made up a huge assortment of DOUBLE-SIDED (kinda like a two-fer...gotta love that!) hangers that can be for displaying art...photos.....or even scrapbook pages (out of the books that no-one takes out to look at)....

 

They can be changed out so very easily...hang them around the house....one side has wordage..the other, assorted vintagey fun....

 

 

 

I used my ENDLESS supply stash of scrapbook papers...and applied with my FAVORITE medium of ModPodge....some assorted paints...and embellies....using what I have!

 

Hope you have enjoyed the hop so far!...scroll back up to the top...and visit the rest of our

 Spring Team!!!!

 

Have a super blessed day!

Wall Hanging for ARTZ de SCRAP CONTEST!!!

Here is my entry for the Artz de Scrap coaster wall-hanging contest...wish me luck!!!
I have taken a regular sized clip board and ALTERED it with SU stamps,Designer Scrapbook papers,LOTS of ribbons, CORK,metal embellies,HANDMADE stick pins( gonna make more of these sweeties!!),hand-dyed silk flowers, and VINTAGE mother-of-pearl button from my yummy stash!
Some of the papers used were from my "win" at Artz de Scrap for MY WORLD inspiration. Fun Basic Grey "Perhaps" and EK Success "Inspirables" matched perfectly with the color combo of natural cork and assorted ribbons, fibers & trims....This kind of ART is my most favorite of all....
Featured on this wall hanging are my children ( and grandguys)....The coasters are layered with coordinating SU cardstock...and featuring...from left to right:
Our daughter, Jenny and husband Bill....they live in Boston
Our daughter, Joy, husband Lee & grandguys Myles & Sammy...they live in SC
Our son, Jarrod & his wife Ericka....they live in Mississippi
And the sweet memories of life.....the story behind the CASTLE....which is "floating" inside a clear envelope attached to the clipboard...and can be exchanged with an updated pic of hubby and me(whenever!)....ANYHOO...the story is that when hubby & I were dating, he promised to always treat me like a queen...and he always has....so, the castle ( from Disney World) is a symbol of our love...and life together.
So....that's it for today....Thanks so much for visiting!!....Beeeeeee sure to check out my Etsy shop, StudioBeeCreations...and DD Jenny's at KittyKards6473.
Creative Blessings,
Debbie

Today's card POCKETFUL of POSIES is one I have in my Ebay store right now....I have RE-CYCLED a super sweet pocket from a little girl's pair of jeans...layered onto assorted patterned paper, and adorned with PRIMA flowers and glass beadlets ( LOVE this bling!!).Pocketful of Posies has been custom printed on vellum.
This 6 x 6 card can also double as a PAPER piecing addition to a SCRAPBOOK PAGE, using the "pocket" for a secret journalling spot!....Please beeeeeeeeeeeeeee sure to check out my EBAY store StudioBeeCreations
