Smash!

My new SMASH stuff arrived. 

K and Company told me that I might not get it until late Aug. but it arrived. 

 I must admit that it wasn't worth the price and shipping.  :(

Dallas part two

Here are some photos of a recent trip to Stamp Asylum in Plano....

Love the colors of this raw silk ribbon.  I wanted to buy the entire display.

Bought these Santos hands.  I can't wait to use them.

The amazing things you can do with Tim's metal.

Love Frida and love this book.  It makes me want to get out my metal and create.

I think I am getting addicted to hands.

This was hanging in the bathroom and I just loved it! 

This is what to do with small canvases. 
And there is a magnet on the back. 
What a great idea!

Another mini-canvas.

Christmas box using Tim's stuff.  Love thinking about cold weather in this Texas heat.

Halloween box.  Love the skeletons!

I think this will be my new motto!

Dallas with Nicki part one

So I drove to Dallas and we went to buffalo exchange.  It is a vintage store...but I just don't think 80s stuff is vintage.

Me in my new sunglasses.
And then off to Campisi's for lunch!

Ruby red slippers

These red sequin Tom's are an exclusive to Nordstroms.  And I just had to have them. 

Butterfly Mixed Media Book

Inspire Butterfly Mixed Media Book

I signed up for a class with Cheryl Mezzeti at the Crafty Scrapper in Waxahachie in August. 

Cheryl creates this beautiful book using canvas mat boards as the base of the book. Decoupage old book pages and new paint it papers adding gesso and luminarte for a one-of-a-kind finished book! Cheryl brings a gorgeous color palette of luminarte to share so you can create your own unique finished album! The inside pages includes the gorgeous new Basic Grey Sweet threads collection!

ATC exchange

Artsy Fartsy is hosting another ATC swap.  It is going to be hard to part with them and send them to their new homes.  Here are my three (and I just barely made the deadline)...
