.....watch out world here he comes!!!

Here is another project I did for CHA. I didn't get enough good shots of each page, I was too busy trying to get it packed up and shipped. But you can see most of the album. It's made with the Maya Road Canvas Pocket Binder and lots of other MR goodies. The "star" of the album... my little Jacob!!!! :)

See you soon,

Christmas in July!

Hi all! I'm back again with some more Maya Road CHA projects. I made about 4 Christmas projects for this show.  But, I'm just going to share two of them with you today.   I was given the Christmas Tree Layer Book and the Mini Christmas Tree Book to work with.  Although these do make adorable tree albums, they have been out a while, so I thought why not make something different out of them. Here's what I came up with....

This first project is an ornament. You can't see it but it has some twine in the back for hanging it to a tree. It's pretty simple to make, so it would be great for an ornament swap or gift.  As you can see I used one of the new doily transparencies for the wings. The satin trim on the skirt and small cream and brown organza flowers, for the sleeves and dress are also new.

The next angel is does take a lot more time than the first, but I love how she turned out. The new goodies on here are the trims, mini pennant banner pieces and the velvet jewel flowers.

I had taken photos of how I put this project together but my Mac died on me...... must have been the presure of CHA!!! :) Anyway, if there is an interest I may do another one for the DT blog.

Here are a few close ups.

Back soon with more CHA projects.

You're A Hoot!

Hi all,  If you have been following the Maya Road sneaks on their blog, then you will have already seen this guy.  I swear, I had made a promise to myself that I wouldn't make anymore owls............ not this year anyway!!! :)  But when I got the new new doily stamps and transparencies to play with, I just had to do it!!!  The body of the owl is made out of a MR Heart Keepsake Box flipped upside-down.  I've done a simple "how to" of this project and it should be in the Creative Corner soon.  I'll let you know when it's up, in case you want to try making one.

Before I go just a reminder to check out today's sneaks.  If you're a Maya Road fan you're going to LOVE all the new goodies!!! :)
