12 Days of Christmas swap

I am participating in a 12 days of Christmas swap and have received some cute ideas.  The swap plan was to make simple inexpensive gifts using Stampin Up items.  I sent 2 sets and received 2 sets in return so have been opening 1 gift a day.  Here is what I have received so far.

Secret Sisters Swap

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I am bit behind in posting on this blog so today am posting some of the card fronts I received at the Stampin Up Onstage convention a few weeks ago,  I am part of a year long swap - SACS- Secret and Caring Sisters.  We had an organized swap and were charged with creating a card front based on a template.  It is so interesting how everyone interpreted the design.

Little Red truck

Old red trucks are so in style this Christmas.  I got this truck die from Papertrey Ink and decided to try it out today,  Room in the back for some candy.

Over the Top Tags

I just attended the 3 day Stampin Up celebration for their 30th birthday at the Orlando Convention Center.  There were about 6000 demonstrators in attendance.  I participated in an Over the Top Tag swap.  These tags are big and I love the ones I got.  The one with 3 flowers and the upside down cancer ribbon as a vase was mine.

Placemat bowl

I made this super quick and easy fabric bowl from a Pioneer Woman quilted placemat.  Saw a video on You Tube on how to do it.

Another Mixed media page

It has been awhile since I posted - so busy with work and cleaning yadda yadda yadda.  I did work on a mixed media page and still need to do some coloring I think on it but decided to post it anyways.  Have a great week.

Projects from Dina Wakley classes

I spent 2 days at Whim So Doodle in St. Pete taking classes from Dina Wakley from Ranger.  One was learning how to paint abstract art, the 2nd was Encaustic Beeswax tags (my favorite) and the last day was creating art with repetition and symmetry. Here are my projects - I have a lot to learn.
