BUCKET LIST

Do you have a Bucket List? 

 That is a list of things you dream about doing?

  Well, I do. 

 Here is my little reminder to keep dreaming!

I will be teaching this at my team meeting in Tacoma this week.  

Just click on the picture to view larger.

I used my Art Philosophy and Artiste CTMH Cricut cartridges to cut the shapes where I will write my dream get-aways.  I also used a retired paper packet called Sonoma I've been holding on to since it matches the colors in my house, .  I also used the Sonoma "My Stickease".  I included a doily a friend of mine gave me last year.  I think it looks great in the cluster.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my decor.  This frame could be used for many different occasions.  Can't wait until August 1st, when I can reveal more great decor options, whether to make for yourself or give as a gift.

HAPPY CREATING!

MULTI MEDIA SWAP - CHERISH

Each month I participate in a Multi Media Swap.  This was my swap for May.  The theme was "Celebration" to be interpreted any way you would like.

The frame is from the dollar store, the sentiment was off the computer that I printed on photo paper and the embellishments are all Close to My Heart.

Thanks for stopping by. 

HAPPY CREATING!

Multi-Media Exchange

Each month I participate in a Multi-Media Swap.

  We usually have a theme, and anything goes,

 as it is however you interpret the theme.

.  This month the theme was "Feminine".

Cindy Kleinfelter

Linda Holliday

This was mine!

I'm sorry, I don't have all the names of those that participate. 

 I will try to get them by next month so I can give them credit.

I forgot to take pictures of these,

 so hurried up to get them on this post.

  I have already put this pencil holder to work by my desk.

I have also been using my luggage tag. 

 This was actually from an earlier swap.

HAPPY CREATING!

Artbooking Luminary

Here is one of the  Luminaries I made recently

 using the Close to My Heart Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge for the roses and green pieces, and the Close to My Heart  Cricut Artbooking Cartridge for the black luminary overlay piece.

  They have battery operated candles in the center.

I made ten of these for centerpieces for a banquet later this month.  I will post a picture of the tables after the banquet. 

 I hope you give one a try.

Candle Stamping

Here is another home decor project. 

 It is made the same way as

 the favor I shared on my post yesterday.

HAPPY CREATING!

Happy Earth Day!

Today is Earth Day.

  What are you doing to save the earth? 

 I thought I would share a recycling project I recently finished.  I love to burn candle melts, but hated to throw away the wax when the scent had faded, so I poured the melted wax into a heart shaped mold to cool.  

This is how I made these cute favors.

• Cool wax in mold
•  Pop wax out of the mold 
•  Using a small drill, put a hole in the center
• Tie a string in hole
• Stamp design with archival ink onto some tissue paper
• Color with markers
• Cut out as close to the design as you can
• Placed the stamped tissue on top of the wax, then cover with wax paper (hold tightly over top)
• Using heat tool and moving back and forth, heat the area until you can see the design getting stronger (Caution - you don't want the wax to melt too much)
•  Removed the wax paper
•  Immediately use a nylon stocking to rub over the surface to smooth areas that might have melted 
• Apply glitter with finger

• I just finished 63 of these as favors for a banquet  later this month.  They were easy, taking less than a minute to complete each one after they had been Stamped, cut and colored.
