I started by taking a dry erase board apart and removing the magnetic sheet. I measured the frame and created a background by cutting different patterned papers from Bella Blvd with the TrimIt and adding alphabet stickers to fit into the space. I laminated the background using an 8 1/2" x 11" hot pocket. <b></b> The clock face, title strip and speech bubble were laminated separately from the background, cut out and then adhered to the project using foam adhesive to add dimension. <br />
<br />
Because the project is laminated, you can write and erase just as you would with a magnetic dry erase board. NOTE: You can recreate this look using a regular picture frame. <br />
<br />
My younger son loves this project! He's only 4, so he can't quite tell time yet, but he loves drawing on the hands. Before you know it, he'll be telling time like a pro.<br />

Supplies:</div>
<br />
Purple Cows: TrimIt, Laminator, Hot Pockets<br />
Bella Blvd: Patterned Paper, Chipboard, Stickers<br />
Dry Erase Board<br />
<br />
Here's another projects that I created for Purple Cow's and [my last project for] Basically Bare. <br />
I used the Polly’s Pocket album which has plenty of pockets for storing extra photos and memorabilia along with a ton of brightly hued papers from Bella Blvd. The album is embellished with <a href="http://www.basicallybare.com/">Stack-A-Bellie Owls, Bare Basics Wings, Welcome Little One, Bare Basics Heart Set #2, Blossoms and Leaves, and Buttons, and the Large Pennant Set</a>.<br />
<br />
I heat embossed the handle and legs of the stroller with Metallic Silver WOW embossing Powder before covering it with patterned paper. I added a little umph to the wheels with self adhesive buttons.<br />

I colored this canvas with Aquarelle Watercolor Pencils (blue) then spritzed with water and blended the colors with my fingers. I used the Stamper's Big Brush from the Mix & Match Mixed Media Sampler to color a script stamp and stamped on the background. After heat embossing the white circles, I used the Neutral Gelato to add another layer of color to the canvas (I blended with my fingers). I traced the large words and butterflies (adhered to the canvas using Gel medium) with blue water colors and used a wet paint brush to blend into the background. I used Mix & Match Art Grip Color Pencils to add definition to the journaling.<br />
<br />
As a finishing touch, I painted the smaller butterflies with Egyptian Gold Luminarte Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist and flicked Autumn Leaf Luminarte Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist onto the background.<br />

I used an embossing pen to outline the butterfly seen here and then used Earth tone Paprika to highlight the outline. I embossed the pre-made chipboard embellishments with Neutral Ultra Shimmer embossing to add a little bling.<br />

I used the postage stamp from the set to create my own patterned paper strips using Earth tone Honey and Cotton Candy. <br />

I changed the color of the chipboard alpha by first embossing them with Ebony powder. Once cooled, I re-inked and then embossed with Black Glint embossing glitter.<br />

I used one of the vellum quotes from the Itty Bitty Box (Babies/Family) and a present from the <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/Birthday-Gift-8-x-10-Chipboard-p/em81.htm">Birthday Gift 8x10 Chipboard set</a> to create a beautiful embellishment that makes this card pop!<br />
<br />
I inked the chipboard piece with <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/Maraschino-Cherry-PowderPuff-Chalking-Inks-p/pow14.htm">Marachino Cherry PowderPuff Chalking Ink</a>, then coated it with glossy accents and micro beads and allowed to dry. I adhered the vellum quote to JB200 and then adhered it behind the present. I finished off the present with a button, twine, and a tiny tag.<br />

<br />
Canvas is one of my favorite mediums, so needless to say, I had a ball with this!! Creating the frame around the edge was really easy, but takes a little patience.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0rEc6AAuIol8eMp_MTg8y4g6MCfo-wTe0pPmPa9UxE2U234EXRQCssWDAxDjgzUcZAQ52gTsw0tqJf1zOBavBC9ZsRwjZIlo7OIvr4Zlf5M2q8k5YDHxid7eMXuvC3lHRQeGB2swU_mQ/s1600/mostpreciousLO.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0rEc6AAuIol8eMp_MTg8y4g6MCfo-wTe0pPmPa9UxE2U234EXRQCssWDAxDjgzUcZAQ52gTsw0tqJf1zOBavBC9ZsRwjZIlo7OIvr4Zlf5M2q8k5YDHxid7eMXuvC3lHRQeGB2swU_mQ/s320/mostpreciousLO.jpg" width="319" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I started by randomly tearing all 4 edges off of a scrap piece of 12x12 paper. (final size was about 10.5 square give or take) I used repositionable adhesive to adhere the scrap paper to the center of the canvas. Next, I used 2 different stamps and embossing ink to stamp on the exposed canvas, 1 side at a time. Once I finished one side, I poured WOW Embossing Powder in Opaque Bright White on the image and then tapped off the excess. Once all 4 sides were coated, I removed the scrap paper and used a heat gun to melt the powder.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I then used an inking sponge and Quick Quote's PowderPuff Chalking Inks in <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/Baja-Blue-PowderPuff-Chalking-Inks-p/pow20.htm">Baja Blue</a>, <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/Mocha-Mama-PowderPuff-Chalking-Inks-p/pow3.htm">Mocha Mama</a>, and <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/Green-with-Envy-PowderPuff-Chalking-Inks-p/pow11.htm">Green With Envy</a> to add color to the edges. I re-adhered the scrap paper to the center and continued to add ink until I was satisfied with the look. (the frame took on the shape of the scrap paper) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I used a damp paper towel to remove the excess ink from the embossing. The embossing acts as a resist and you will see all of the different inks in the recesses. This is one of my favorite techniques. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>

I lightly spritzed the center with misting inks in 2 different colors before adding photos and embellishments to the canvas. I matted the photo using JB-400 and then framed it with images cut from JB-100 and JB-400. I cut strips from the new vellum strips to serve as part of my title and journaling.</div>

I am here with an "out of the box" layout featuring <a href="http://www.blogquickquotes.com/">Quick Quote's </a>new paper line, Just Because. <br />
<br />
Don't you just love it when you spot a beautiful line and you get a lot of ideas at first glance, but the more you look at it you are inundated with an entirely different set of ideas?? Well that's exactly what happened to me when I received Just Because in my DT box. At first sight, I saw flowers, butterflies, and polka dots...all the makings of a beautiful girly or Spring layout. The more I studied it, I began to notice the blues and greens and the grungy look it had and began to think of boy and Fall layouts. This collection is the epitome of versatile!!<br />
<br />
Here's what I created with this line. I pulled the brown (JB 300) from the layout and used the green (JB 200) to help the photos pop. I tied the two together with the JB 100. I added a vellum quote from the new Itty Bitty Box to help finish it off.<br />

Hey there!! I'm here with a layout featuring a picture of my sweetie and I from a few years ago. When I came across this photo, I knew I wanted to scrap it, but I needed bright colors to help it pop. That's where <a href="http://wowembossingpowders.blogspot.com/">WOW's</a> Suzy West's Embossing Powders in Cable Car Red and California Sunshine come in. (Pretty appropriate colors since this photo was taken in the San Diego Zoo) </div>

I don't know about you, but I don't think a layout s complete without a little bling. That's where embossing glitters come in pretty darn handy! <br />
<br />
I used WOW's Black Glint Embossing Powder with a stamp from WOW's "Is It A Bird?" set to create the tag here. I inked the white flowers and then coated them with WOW's Neutral Ultra Shimmer.<br />

That's exactly what I did with <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/This-Book-Is-Lovingly-and-Thought-Full-Page-Vellum-p/xx30.htm">this piece of vellum</a> from Quick Quotes. I cut the revelevant paragraph from it, adhered it to a piece of patterned paper from the <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/category-s/2101.htm">One Fine Day collection</a> and created this beautiful card. I added a couple of naked chipboard pieces from the <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/Stackable-Flowers-Bag-o-Chips-p/em74.htm">Bag O Chips Stackable Flowers</a> for a little neutral balance.<br />

Sometimes I run short on time and find that it's difficult to labor over a page. In those cases, I rely heavily on using quick and easy techniques
to get a page done so I can move on to completing the million other things on my to-do list. <br />
I used <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/category-s/2101.htm">One Fine Day</a> to draw muted shades of colors from the photo. I cut the clock from vellum to help carry the theme of the layout and then added a little depth by inking the edges of the photo mat and added a little texture by using buttons and felt alphabet. <br />

Tools, right?!
Just about every man I know has had to "tinker" with something...even my husband, who is not the handiest person in the world. (Sorry babe, you have lots of other talents though) So for Quick Quote's Father Inspiration I created this handy dandy tool box.<br />
<br />
I started by painting the inside and then lightly inking it with <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/Mocha-Mama-PowderPuff-Chalking-Inks-p/pow3.htm">Mocha Mama</a> PowderPuff Chalking Ink. I used mod podge to cover the body of the tool box with <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/TinType-300-p/ti300.htm">Tin Type 300</a> and inked the edges.<br />

I created this little mini album in preparation for my vacation. I covered it with papers from <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/category-s/2098.htm">Tin Type</a> and inked the edges with PowderPuff Chalking Ink in Mocha Momma, so all I have to do is add photos and journaling!<br />
<br />
I just one of the journaling blocks from <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/TinType-500-p/ti500.htm">Tin Type 500</a>, inked the edges and layered it on the cover. I cut the straps from <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/Treasure-Chest-Vellum-Overlay-p/x75.htm">Treasure Chest Vellum Overlay</a>, adhered them to white cardstock strips and then to the cover.<br />

I'm so psyched about the holiday weekend for the fact that I get a few days off from work! Phew, sometimes you just need a break! Right? Hopefully a long weekend equates to some much needed scrap time.<br />
<br />
Today, I have a couple of projects that I created for <a href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/creative_imaginations_blo/">Creative Imaginations</a> using Debbie Mumm's gorgeous Song Birds Collection. This is one of those lines that I fall more and more in love with every time I look at it. It's filled with adorable little treasures like the tiny peach flowers in the die cut pack to the clever little phrases that inspired the title for my layout.<br />
<br />
I started my layout by layering patterned papers, cardstock, and a border punched strip of wood to create the background. I lightly spritzed the lightest part of the background with Luminarte Butternut Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist.<br />

<br />
Since this line has a lot of nature elements, I added flowers, a berry spray, and jute to add to textural interest. I also layered a couple of birds that I fussy cut from patterned paper on top of a cardboard house from Basically Bare.<br />

This month, the DT is creating projects featuring <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/category-s/1832.htm">PowderPuff Chalking Inks</a>. I created a faux letterpress look on my card by inking the raised part of an embossing folder with <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/Pink-Cheeks-PowderPuff-Chalking-Inks-p/pow7.htm">Pink Cheeks PowderPuff Chalking Inks</a>. <br />

<br />
I placed my cardstock (the side that would face outward) over the inked raised side of the embossing folder. <br />

I ran it through my cuttlebug and voila-- I'm left with an inked debossed print. This is a very easy technique and the result is fabulous. The possibilities are endless, too! Try different colors and patterns to personalize any project.<br />

Mother's Day was a couple days ago. Did you have a good day? I did, although it was pretty low key. <br />
I created this layout for <a href="http://www.blogquickquotes.com/">Quick Quotes</a> to serve as a thank you letter to my mom. Having such a close relationship with her has given me the ability to cultivate great relationships with other women. In essence, I have her to thank for all of the beautiful friendships that I have made and maintained over the years.<br />

<br />This month, the <a href="http://www.blogquickquotes.com/">Quick Quotes</a> are not only focusing on Mother's Day projects, were are also focusing on the PowderPuff Chalking Inks. I love the subtle dimension that inking creates. I used Tahiti here to ink the edge of the vellum quote. I used Bloody Mary on the patterned paper covered chipboard.<br />
<br />

<br />
Inking doesn't have to be tone on tone. As you can see here, I embossed the butterfly with white powder and then inked the edges with Tahiti to add a pop of color.<br />

Today I am sharing a review of my <a href="http://www.easycanvasprints.com/pictures-on-canvas/">Easy Canvas Print</a>. Easy Canvas Prints offers a really efficient way to turn your favorite photos into great quality canvas prints. <br />
<br />
I was offered a print from Easy Canvas for an honest review of the product. I was excited about the idea as I've wanted to turn a few prints into canvas for a while now. I decided to go with this adorable photo of me and my favorite 2 little guys. I visited the <a href="http://www.easycanvasprints.com/my-canvas-design/">website</a> which I found really easy to navigate, started the process and in just a few short minutes it was complete. <br />
<br />

<br />When I received my canvas, I was really very pleased with the results. The canvas is a 16"x20"; the image on the canvas is just a sharp as the original photo, the colors are crisp and matched the photo image perfectly, and the canvas itself is very sturdy. <br />

<br />My favorite feature is the border option. You have the option of choosing a mirror image, image wrap, or border color. I chose the image wrap because I think it adds visual interest.<br />

Although I went to the movies with my guys to see the Avengers, I still managed to get some scrapping done. I participated in a couple of the challenges over at scrapbook.com and here's what I came up with.<br />
<br />
This layout of my almost 17 year old twin niece and nephew was created for the journaling challenge and for my DT post for <a href="http://www.wowembossingpowders.blogspot.com/2012/05/good-day-everyone-its-tanisha-here.html#comment-form">WOW embossing powders</a>.

As a scrapper, NSD has quickly become one of my favorite holidays! I love having an excuse to do nothing but scrap all day and participate in different challenges. Even better, I love all of the generosity in the air. I will be hanging out over at <a href="http://scrapbook.com/">scrapbook.com</a> because they always have great NSD challenges and their prizes rock....I know because I won a RAK last year (and a few years ago).<br />
<br />
This holiday puts me in a giving mood, too. At the end of this post, you will find info on how you can enter to win my NSD RAK...but first I have a few projects to share.<br />
<br />
This is a special project for a special lady. I'm sure you are aware that April is over, which means Mother's Day is right around the
corner. <br />
<br />
I used my 2 new favorite (for now) <a href="http://www.wowembossingpowders.blogspot.com/">WOW Embossing powders</a>, Clear Gloss
Ultra High and Neutral Ultra Shimmer glitter and the Flowers background stamp to
create this canvas for mom. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNbO28CbvMFkc6UmBahfrQHfEBq1VvDlUxvn-PTFOUqtwZh2K90_uCk1kLyAvDNBZ9whF3mZ7BNhz1HMNv3-kdoC4ulVUpsMunBe5M-ewl7K7NXwkjNVvSMbh0cE4o7KOjHFUEKWx-d2o/s1600/momcanvas.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNbO28CbvMFkc6UmBahfrQHfEBq1VvDlUxvn-PTFOUqtwZh2K90_uCk1kLyAvDNBZ9whF3mZ7BNhz1HMNv3-kdoC4ulVUpsMunBe5M-ewl7K7NXwkjNVvSMbh0cE4o7KOjHFUEKWx-d2o/s320/momcanvas.JPG" width="227" /></a></div>
<br />
I used Neutral Ultra Shimmer Embossing Glitter on the flowers, the canvas
background and the photo corners. I love how the powders melt to clear glittery
gloss allowing the color of the embellishments to shine through.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I sporadically stamped the background with the stamp and embossed with Clear
Gloss Ultra High. I used several different inks to add color to the canvas and
then used a damp paper towel to remove the ink from the embossing leaving a
masked look.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I have to admit, these 2 powders are addictive! I literally had to stop myself
from covering the entire canvas in glitter!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I created this next project for <a href="http://www.wowembossingpowders.blogspot.com/">WOW Embossing Powders</a> and the product swap week between Pink Paislee and <a href="http://basicallybareonline.com/wordpress/">Basically Bare</a>. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a big Pink Paislee fan, so getting to work with the <a href="http://www.pinkpaislee.com/home.php?cat=91" target="_blank">Indigo Bleu line</a> AND my favorite Basically Bare products made creating this layout extra fun!<br />
I used Basically Bare Pennants (large), Dress Form, Blossoms & Leaves, Fanciful Frames, and Birds as well as stamps and embossing powders from <a href="http://www.wowembossingpowders.blogspot.com/">WOW</a>.<br />
<br />

These pennants are some of my new faves!! I covered them with patterned paper, heat embossed using WOW’s neutral ultra shimmer embossing glitter and then layered with wood embellishments and flowers. I used the same powder on the canvas leaf and then outlined with Zig Memory System Millennium pen.</div>

I swear, I can’t get enough of the dress forms!! I peeled the top layer of cardboard off of the bodice, swiped with white acrylic paint and then covered with patterned paper, lace, and a wooden button.<br />

I like to add plain chipboard to a lot of my projects. I think the neutral kraft color gives the viewer’s eye a break.<br />

Last but certainly not least, is the acrylic birdie nestled among the flowers. I use a stamp from WOW Call Me stamp set and staz-on ink to stamp the script writing. I embossed the felt wing with embossing glittered and added a pearl to the eye.</div>

For the fussy cutting challenge, I decided to go off the page and create this little birdhouse. If you've visited my blog before, you know I have a thing for birdhouses. I kept this one sweet and simple with a burst of color using papers from <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=2099">Summer Samba</a>. I inked the roof of the house with <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=POW9">Blue Hawaiian PowderPuff Chalking Ink</a> and then cut flowers from <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=SU400">Summer Samba 400</a> and layered them over the entire roof. I covered the base of the birdhouse with <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=SU100">Summer Samba 100</a> and added<a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=EM75"> 2 Bag O' Chips butterflies</a> which were heat embossed with WOW embossing glitter.<br />

been a lackadaisical blogger of late. I have so many balls in the air and am trying to juggle the best I can. <br />
<br />
It's been nearly 3 months since I returned to work; I'm trying to keep up with the boys' schedules, keep up with DT assignments (which has proven to be a struggle), appointments, housework, etc, etc... and still make it to bed at a decent time, which judging by the bags under my eyes, isn't happening! But, I am hanging in there! I'm determined to get on a manageable schedule.<br />
<br />
I have created quite a few projects that I HOPE to share throughout the week, :) starting with my latest creations from <a href="http://www.creativeimaginations.typepad.com/">Creative Imaginations</a>.<br />
<br />
I made this little ditty for my godson who's loves counting and reading books. The bare elements chipboard album is very sturdy and the pages are very easy for little fingers to turn.<br />

<br />One of my favorite ways to use ribbon is on gift packaging. I love that I can add that extra special touch without having to take a trip to the store. I used May Arts <a href="http://www.mayarts.com/store/weddings/product/uk-15x50y-silkycrush/" target="_self">Silky/Crush ribbon</a> in white and blue/white <a href="http://www.mayarts.com/store/strings-cords/product/412-2mmx109y-bakers-twine/" target="_self">baker's twine</a> and the gorgeous <a href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/CI_ChristineAdolph_Collection_Sakura_3x.php" target="_self">Sakura line by Christine Adolph</a> for this birthday gift and card. To make my gift set sparkle, I spritzed the card and the front of the gift box with <a href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/cgi-bin/sc/productsearch.cgi" target="_self">red pearl Luminarte Radiant Rain mist</a>. </div>

I create this card for a friend. I embossed a piece of wood paper and then inked the raised design and then embellished with twine and a die cut.</div>

<br />Have you ever come across one of those collections that is just so pretty that you don't even want to cut into it? That's exactly how I felt about Christine Adolph's Sakura collection. The beautiful colors and patterns are suitable for framing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
As you can see, I eventually decided to cut into those pretty papers to create this layout. I used the die cut paper as my background and cut the lanterns from patterned paper to use as a decorative element across the top of the layout.<br />
<br />
I brought out the purple in the papers by painting a strip of Paint It papers with sugar plum Luminarte Twinking H2Os. I further embellished with die cuts, layered stickers, and a border punched strip of real wood paper.<br />

Literally! We meant in college in the summer of 1992 and at first, I didn't like him. Don't get me wrong, I thought he was cute, but he was cocky and thought he knew more than everyone else---in my opinion, anyway. We butted heads. Then one day, we started talking, just the 2 of us and I thought he was easy to talk to a much different on a one on one basis. Freshman year started and we were inseperable...we were the best of friends and even referred to each other as "confidant".
<br />
On April 19, 1994, our Sophomore year, we went from best friends to boyfriend and girlfriend. Everyone thought we were a couple anyway, so it was no surprise. We survived college and a long distant relationship and decided to move in together in August, 1998. In November 1999, he asked me to marry him and we became husband and wife on our 8th anniversary, April 19, 2002. <br />

We have been married for 10 years, together for 18 years. That's almost half our lives!! It has been a crazy rollercoaster ride. We've had our good times and bad, we're making it through parenthood and dual careers, but through it all, we still have each other. </div>

Purple Cows has some terrific new tools in the CraftGeek line and tomorrow April 24th HSN will have the Pin It, Wind It and Punch It featured during the following show times 12am, 8am, 1pm, 2pm and 9pm EST. We hope that you will turn to HSN or go to their site and pick up your favorites as HSN will have them for an unbeatable deal.<br />
<br />
I used the CraftGeek Pin It on my card. I created a border along the bottom of my card. Before I attached the pins, I heat embossed them to change up the color. As you can see in my photos below, it's a very simple process. Heat embossing allows you to change the pins into any color of your choice. <br />

I started by inking the pin to give the powder something to stick to.<br />

I heated until the powder melted to a shiny gloss.<br />

<br />Then I used the pin it to attach my pins. The magnetic plate helps keep the tool properly positioned while the see through plate allows you to see exactly where you want to apply your pin. Love that!!<br />

I'm back again with another project using <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1513">Quick Quotes Club Q kits</a>. The other day, my older son and I took these fun photos in a booth at the mall. I knew immediately that I had to use them on a project. I decided to frame this layout so that I could hang it in a special place in my scrap room. My son and I always have such fun silly times together and I definietly want to remember these times.<br />

I started the project by inking one of my favorite stamps with <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=POW9">Blue Hawaaiian PowderPuff Chalking Ink</a> and stamping on the background. I created a grid by cutting down some of the papers and one of the quotes from the kit and aligning them alongside my photos. I think the sleek simple lines really allow the quote and photos stand out. I layered the patterned papers with pieces of the vellum quote from the kit to highlight a few descriptive words that matches my son's personalitiy and my feelings about him.</div>
