Flower Power!

Found these gorgeous flowers in the scrapbook section at Michael's last weekend on sale! Not too many styles left because I bought them all! The flowers are just gorgeous!

Perfect to attach to flip flops.

They look like I bought them this way, don't they?

Getting Ready for Art Weekend!

Wow! It's been way too long since I last posted! I've been super busy getting ready for my annual art camp for girls in June. My camp week is absolutely full, and I'm getting excited about what's ahead!

I'm also getting ready for my first Artistic Affair Event in California in two weeks! I'll be seeing all of my friends I met at Silver Bella again...yay!

I'm hosting the tote bag swap I blogged about in an earlier post. I'm also included in a fun PJ slipper swap. Here's what I ended up making for my partner... I painted a muslin tote bag to house the slippers, then added one of my signture shabby mums!

I hope my swap partner will enjoy these comfy slippers!!

Getting all of my goodies packed up for a weekend of classes!

Somerset Digital Studio Winter 2012

 I'm so excited to be featured in the latest Somerset Digital Studios Magazine! My entry features our sweet pug puppy, Matilda Pearl.

I've really enjoyed all the issues of the digi mag. There's so much inspiration!

"Holly Golightly" Tote Bag Swap!

I'm thrilled to be a swap hostess for the upcoming Artistic Affair's Breakfast at Tiffany's event. I'm hosting the Holly Golightly Tote Bag swap...something to tote around carrying art supplies or fun vintage finds.

The swappers all had to start with a muslin tote base, then add anything they wanted to make it "Holly" style!

Here's the sample I showed the swappers. I hand painted it all, added some bling, trim and flowers, and lined it with leopard print. It's big and roomy!

And here are some other little hand painted cuties that I'll be giving away that weekend...

Wedding Guest Bags

She Art Workshop II Class

I've been having such a great time with Christy Tomlinson's She Art Workshop II online classes!

Here are a few things I made in her "class."

This is a huge collage that I made following steps of Junelle Jacobson, guest artist for the She Art Week 2 class. I think she kinda looks like me! I put the canvas in my guest bathroom.

Had fun with this sweet little pillow. I made about six so far...more to come!

Create With Me Magazine

I'm THRILLED to be featured in this issue of Somerset's Create With Me magazine!! It's a four page article on my annual art camp for girls. Hurray!
