Pay it forward - Karen Knight & Dawn Haskell

 

  Earlier this year on my facebook page I ran a post that read - pay it forward / random act of kindness.   I decided to share in a great idea where you provide someone else with a random act of kindness that warms their heart.





 So I completed a post and asked people to provide me with what their favorite color was, if they could have one craft item would it be and to give me a small ounce of detail on themselves.  From there I select two random winners and I sent them a goodie bag and this was done at random draw.

 Karen Knight was the first the random # generator selected. She is a great friend of mine and one that I hold dear.   So here are two projects I made her that I included in her special surprise package.

Dawn Haskell was the second random # pulled.  She is another great talent and awesome lady to share ideas with.  Here is a tag I made her.

I plan to continue doing this initiative annually just to give a little ounce of joy to someone's life.

Thanks

May 2014 - Tim Holtz tag of 2014

  I personally enjoy being able to share in the inspiration journey with Tim Holtz each month in the creation of his monthly tags.  It is amazing how he can get people to connect in ways to the products that drives the creative process into new areas.  I don't know about you but many months I am just sitting and waiting to figure out what Tim will come up with next.



As an artist it challenges my creativity and drive with each tag he shares.  The May tag for 2014 I just loved the ability to create this tag and the end product it yielded.



Here is some pictures of my tag and background I created in the May 2014 tag. 

If you haven't had a chance to explore your talent, share in Tim's creative challenge and exploration - YOU NEED TOO.

Brother's birthday card

I wanted to share a birthday card project I made in May. My brother Tom lives in Miami and I wanted to make him an authentic card.

When making this project I wanted to incorporate the use of several elements.

I wanted to have this project have a telegram feel with a vintage flare that incorporated the use of my sewing machine.






I hope you like my project and my use of Tim Holtz products.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and have a great creative day!!

April 12 tags of 2014- Tim Holtz

I so love the tag Tim Holtz has done for April 12 Tags of 2014. This has to be my favorite so far this year. This tag taught me a new technique, how to use the framework die and create flowers.

It is amazing how I think I am not going to buy a die as I don't think I would use it. The. Tim comes out and uses it and I have to get it.

Here is the tag I made for the 12 tags of 2014 for April.



Hope you like and thanks for stopping by my blog.

Momma B birthday card

My second mom had a birthday on April 24th. I wanted to make her a card that incorporated the new technique I learned from Tim Holtz 12 tags of 2014 April tag.

I love how this card turned out and am really becoming addicted to the frameworks dies Tim Holyz launched this year.




I can see that these were a great purchase and live how it looks in this tag.

Thanks

My crafting buddy Michael Farrell started me out into this creative hobby. I am so glad that he showed me how to tap into my creative side that I didn't know existed.

Here is the tag I completed.

Thanks,

Sew birthday card

I started going to church again back in Nov13 and have enjoyed the people I have met in the congregation.

There is this sweet woman named Lois that is a quilter and crafter. I decided I wanted to make her a birthday card.

I decided to make the card by using the sewing machine and to have it resemble the look of a quilt (or try).


I also wanted it to have a vintage and sewing theme. Here is the card I created. I hope you enjoy.

Gram Burkett 84th birthday canvas

I made the following canvas for Gram Burkett. I wanted to make her a canvas that should could enjoy and love.

In this canvas I use a new technique is learned using tissue tape, distress paint, distress pads and water.

I used this in the background of the canvas and details on the technique came from Tim Holtz blog.






I really like the background, effect and overall layout I did. Sometimes I never know what I am going for till it is done.
