Mixed Media Canvas

Hey All!!  I was busy this weekend.  LOL  Not only did I get my YouTube Video done but I also created this mixed media canvas.  I have been wanting to give this a go for a while now but I was a little hesitant.  But I threw all my reservations to the wind and gave it a go.  :)

I am happy with the way it turned out.  And the process was actually very relaxing.  Just playing with the product and embellies...LOVED it.  :)  I already have plans for the next one.

For the back ground I covered the canvas in tissue paper then used my Crafters Workshop stencil with texture past.  I also added pieces of doilie to add texture.  then I just started layering flowers, metal embellishments, chipboard embellishments.  When I finally got the look I desired I covered the entire canvas with gesso and then sprayed with my Lindy's sprays.  :)  

Thanks for stopping by.

Tiny Treasures Lady Bug

Hey All!!  Well I am trying to get back into the swing of things and I managed to get a couple piecings done for Treasure Box Design and I made a card for thier upcoming card swap.  Whew!!  LOL 

The card I made using the Tiny Treasure Lady Bug file.  OMG she is really the cutest!!!  Love how the card turned out.  :)

 

 

Here is the card I created.  :)  I used papers from Bo Bunny and a few I Am Roses.  The stamp on the inside of the card came from The Stamps Of Life.

 

 

 

 

Here is a closer look.

Scrapbook Expo!!!

Hey all !!!  Well we made it back safe and sound from the Scrapbook Expo in Utah....and it was FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!   The deals there were unbelievable.  Seriously I shouldn't have to go shopping for scrapbooking paper for the next 10 years.  LOL  But we all know that I will be at our local scrapbook store sooner or later...

The trip started out with a little hickup with the vehicle but the FANTASTIC guys at Knight Dodge in Swift Current fixed us up in a hurry and sent us on our way.  :)  Here is a pic of Deanna and Kim with the guy who helped us out...for the life of me I can't remember his name.  LOL

It was a long long long long long long long long drive to Utah!!!  LOL  2 days of straight driving.  I got a little bored and started snapping pics in the van....

I think everyone was going a little stir crazy...hahahah

This is our wonderful driver Deanna!!!  


Finally we arrived in Sandy!!!  

Shag - a - licious Baby!!!

If you can believe it I don't have ANY pictures of us at the actual Expo.  I will have to get them from the other girls and post them at another time.  :)  Ok Kim just sent me a some pictures....here is one of me outside the doors of the Expo....

We did get to meet Kristine McKay from My Craft Channel.  She is hillarious!!!  :)

We also took a class with Lance the owner of the Rusty Pickle.  :)  Super nice guy!!!  LOVED the class he taught.  Of course I don't have a picture of the album we created...but I do have one of us with Lance.  :)

It was a great trip with fantastic friends!!!  I am soooooooo looking forward to the next one.  :)

Love Blooms Here

Hey All!!  It has been a busy weekend in the Bourassa household... :)  The most exciting news is my youngest daughter was in her first equestrian show this weekend.  We are so proud of her.  She had a FANTASTIC day!!!  Unfortunately the lighting in the arena was terrible and we didn't get any good photos.  Sad considering I am a scrapbooker...and I have no photos to scrapbook....but we did get this video of her 2' Hunter Class.  :)

I also had the chance to play with some Treasure Box Design files.  :)  This one has got to be one of my favorites.  It is the Love Blooms Here file.

OMG how cute are those little girls!!!  LOVE IT!!!!

Here is the layout I created using the file and the Basic Grey Plumeria papers.  :)

One last thing!!  OMG!!!!!!!!!!  We are off to Utah to the Scrapbook Expo!!!  I am too excited for words.  :)  We leave tomorrow!!  I am sure I will have tones to post and yack about when I get back.  :)

Talk to you when I get back.  :)

Kiwi Lane March Blog Hop

Hey All!!!  I am soooooooooooooooo excited to be part of the Kiwi Lane Blog Hop this month.  :)

You should be coming to my blog from Nella Nalam's blog Memorable Scraps.  :)  If you are arriving from somewhere else make sure you go back to the start at Kiwi Lane's Blog.  There are prizes at stake.  :)

When Kristy asked me to be part of this hop I was absolutely ECSTATIC!!  I could barely contain myself.  :)  I think my hubby and kids might have thought I had finally fell off my scrappy rocker.  LOL

I found Kiwi Lane about a year ago and I have been completely addicted to their Designer Templates ever since.  It really has made my life a lot easier.  Being able to make my page map and see what my layout is going to look like before I ever cut 1 piece of paper is the bomb!! 

Ok enough of my babbling and on to the good stuff.  Here is the first project I created.  I had a totaly blast making these flowers.  They were sooooo easy.  Just traced the templates onto paper coffee filters, cut them out, used floral tape to wrap them around a floral wire then sprayed and dried.  I did do some curling of the petals in the end.  The Designer Template I used was the Tiny Wildflower.  This is one of my absolute favorite templates.  I use it a lot.  I am a flower kind of  girl....

I also decided to make a double page layout.  The Designer Templates I used were

Tiny Wildflowers, Chestnut Drive, Cascade Trails, Tiny Brackets, Tags, Strips, Photo Mats

Whew!!  Lol  I think that was it.  :)  The papers I used were really old but I think they look awesome on the layout.  I was going for a Wedding kind of theme with the bouquet and the layout.

The flowers on the layout and the bouquet were made from coffee filters and a couple of Lindy Stamp Gang sprays.  (Another one of my favorite scrappy things.)





I have a little treat for those of you who have stopped by.  :)   I am giving away the Tiny Wildflower Designer Template that I used to create the bouquet of flowers to one lucky scrapper!!!  Yeahhh!!!  I love prizes.  :)
