Logo Drafts

Trying to create a logo and get my new website all set up to continually add content. How do you like these logo’s? Which one is better? I am new at logo creation. Also still tweaking the website to have a calming aesthetic. If you have any opinions of criticsism, let me know in the comments.

So I tore apart my dest and wall cabinet. This allowed me to move my locker and armoire cabinet to allow space for the 5 x 5 Kallax cub unit. I then move my sit stand desk to the center of my room! Still need to fine tune and label everything. It is a major creative mojo boost! I hope you take advantage of the sale and get your studio organized too!

Birthday Cards

April is a big Birthday month here! Here are just a few of the cards I created for family members.

The first card I made for my longtime friend in Michigan. Lawn Fawn word dies and stamps. WHite embossed and die cut. The colorful paper is from MFTSTAMPS. Pop dotted the die cut white panels. Sometimes a few word dies are all you need to convey your message.

The Panda card is a combination of Mama Elephant panda stamp, Lawn fawn word dies along with MFTSTAMPS shape dies. I also added an Elizabeth Crafts sticker with glitter colored with copic markers. I love how bright this card is.

This last birthday card is a collaboration between my granddaughter and I for her father’s birthday. I stamped the tye dyed background and she cut is out and glued it to the card base. Then we went through my previously cut die cut shapes, she picked out the pieces, guitar Ellentina die, balloons Elizabeth crafts and the sentiments Lawn Fawn. The pick is from a MFTSTAMPS Stamp set. Its a fun way to get kids involved in making their own cards!

Thanks for stopping by.

Spring Is Here!

I have purged my loft and all area’s of my home and it feels so good! I hope you are starting off the Spring Season in a good way. I love to organize and much as I love to create. I find that when my studio is clean and organized I can create more freely.

Over the next week I will be showcasing some of my organizational idea’s. Essential items to have to get started are Bins, Baskets, Stamp Storage and More organizers and don’t forget a label maker!

I have also been creating several different Easter card designs. This one uses a die from The Greetery called Lily. The Happy is Heidi Swapp Fern Die Stampin Up, Easter word is Lawn Fawn.

As you can see I like to combine companies to achieve my desired result. While it is convenient to use all coordinating items from one company if I have something similar I try not to re-buy the same item. (This was not something I did in the past and my collection was getting out of hand. So now I purge and recycle before I purchase new) I colored the lilies and card background using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks. I absolutely love putting these flowers together.

Decorated my kitchen tray with the first card.

Slowly filling in my Distress Oxides. I love my stamp and Storage organization. Shop here with my link.

St. Patrick’s Day

Welcome to March! How fast is this year flying by for you? I am trying to stay ahead of the game. I have my St.Patrick’s Cards done and ready to mail. For these cards I used Papers I had on hand. The Gnome die is from Jaded Blossom, as well as the card layer dies. For my sentiment I used my go to Lawn Fawn Sets. Happy Happy Happy and Happy Happy Happy Add On. The pattern paper is Authentique and scraps from my color drawers. The horseshoe and clover are retired Poppystamps.

The beards were colored with abandoned coral distress ink. These cards are fairly quick to make once you have all your pieces cut out and assembled.

A little DIY Project

I admit I think I have ADD. I have so many projects and idea’s in my head! This is one Project I recently completed. I took an heirloom Maple Ethan Allen Bench and painted it black. Two coats of Beyond Paint. This paint worked wonderfully. No sanding, priming. Just can wipe down and start rolling and brushing.

I ordered the paint from Home Depot. No streaking and a nice matte finish. I sprayed a couple coats of a krylon finish but I may do a coat of polyurethane. I am pretty pleased with the finished product and it looks great with my bedroom set!
