smARTworks - Wall Frame Love is Home

It is so much fun to make art with my stamping supplies. I loved this sentiment from one of smARTworks newer sets that I decided to do exactly that, make some wall art!! I created my own cloud template using some cardboard (probably a cereal box) and sponged on some blue to create a cloudy background. Then, I stamped the sentiment on top using Chocolate Chip ink. And I got the chance to use my newest Spellbinders die! The whole focal point is popped up on dimensionals. Supplies: Stamps-Birdhouse Trio (smARTworks), Cardstock-Whisper White (Stampin' Up!), brown (Bazzill, I think), designer paper is from an 8x8 pad by Me and My Big Ideas; Ink-Chocolate chip, Buckaroo Blue (Stampin' Up!); Other- home-made cloud template, sponge, light cardboard to mount it all on so it will hold up in a frame, Labels 2 Nestabilities (Spellbinders), Cuttlebug (Provocraft), dimensionals, wood frame.

Ooops, I forgot to post the next tea party challenge. This time, Trish has been the one to provide us with the challenge.

And now... a piece of wall art. These beautiful letter stamps are from smARTworks! Look at the beautiful artwork they can create! The letters were colored with lovely warm colors to match our home. This will look great hanging on the wall of our entry way!!

I Love My Boy

I Love my boy!! He is just the best. A few summers ago, we were having an SCS get together here and one of the girls took this "snap shot" when my husband and son stopped in to say hi. She sent it to one of the ladies who live here in town (Hi Robin!!) who printed it off and surprised me with it!! It is such a great photo!!

I started this project out with a $1 wooden heart from the Dollar Store, painted it with blue paint, stamped the Polka Dots (Papertrey Ink) and then added some ivory to distress it a bit. Then added some rub ons, buttons, and tags. I stamped that white flower with the smaller Papertrey Ink polka dots too!!

I love the result! This is hanging in my crafting room!

Thanks for visiting,
