It's February - ALREADY!! Where does the time go?

I'm here to share my latest DT project for J&S Hobbies and Crafts. I gotta tell you, the past couple months of getting my DT packages, I get more and more excited everytime! I absolutely love the items I receive and I feel like they actually pay attention to the kind of projects, papers, styles, etc that I enjoy and it really helps and pushes me creatively to use those items to create little paper confections!

This month, I received the newer collection by Heartfelt Creations; Coffee Talk. Man was I STOKED! When this paper collection came out, I wanted it in my hands! I love coffee and always (and I mean always) have a cup of coffee within reach - all day every day! So this first project is near and dear to my heart. I'll be displaying this somewhere that I will see it daily.

Using the following supplies, I created a printer's tray. I love how this turned out. The papers speak for themselves I think and don't need much embellishment.

- Coffee Talk paper pad by Heartfelt Creations
- Tim Holtz - Timepieces
- Prima Evita-Eva - butterflies
- Prima Butterfly - flowers (Chenille)

January DT Project - J&S Hobbies and Crafts - Part 2

For my second project this month, I created a mini album using the supplies we were sent and it worked out perfectly as I had a client requesting a small mini album in a vintage style paper. She requested a "simple" album, nothing too complicated, something small that she could add some photos and the viewer would be able navigate easily without missing photos, flaps, etc.

In my package for January, I received and used the following supplies:

- Heartfelt Creations - Antiquity paper pad
- Prima Softees collection - Bonnet (lollipop flowers)


- pearl trim

I didn't receive these dies in my DT package, however they are available on the J&S website:
- Heartfelt Creations - Birds and Blooms die
- Heartfelt Creations - Birds and Blooms stamp
- Spellbinders - edge die (the particular one I used is no longer available in the shop)

the rest of the supplies and trims were in my stash.

Enjoy these photos and video! Thanks for stopping by!

January DT project for J&S Hobbies and Crafts! - part 1

Hi all! This month, I created two different projects for J&S Hobbies and Crafts
We were given Designs by Shellie's new resin windows and doors to work with and were requested to use them in our project. I originally had thought to make a box shaped as a house with a mini album inside, but decided against it as I wasn't yet complete when some of the other designers started posting their projects and they were houses. I wanted to do something different that would show the versatility of the resin pieces....SO....

I decided it was time to decorate the cover of my art journal! The window and door pieces worked well with my use of the art journal as I use it to "create out" my stresses, emotions, etc. This is a journal I've never yet shared any of my creations in as - well, to me they are personal and the "window to my soul". What better way to decorate the cover then to use Shellie's doors and windows?!

Once I decided on my project, I watched some YT videos on this style of art - there are some great artists out there that can do wonders with paints and other mediums. I dove right in and actually surprised myself with how this came out and was VERY happy with it!

Here are some photos and as always a video.
