Gratitude Canvas-WOW

I have a little canvas up over on the Wow Blog go check out all the crazy talent that is over there:)

I created this 6x6 canvas about my little one.  I didn't have any canvases on hand so I made one using some scraps of wood. For the canvas I repurposed a pair of his old denim overalls. 
 
Supplies :Brocade and the Gratitude stamp set along with  WOW Cable Car Red Embossing powders.
Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my work today.  Have a great week.

May Arts Design Team Call

May Arts is one of the most wonderful companies I have had the pleasure to work with.  The ribbon is top notch and leaves me with an endless supply of inspiration.  There hasn't been a project that I have worked on over the last year or so that doesn't have at least 1 piece of May Arts ribbon on it, I love it so much:)

Project 1:  Altered book
I altered an old book with this wonderful collection from My Little Shoebox. I used all May Arts Ribbons.



 Project 2: Messinger Bag
 For this project I created a messenger bag for my daughter.  There are tons of May Arts ribbons on this project.



Project 3:  Be Happy round ruffled edge tutorial



For this layout I used the My Little Shoebox Keepsake line.
To make the ruffle around the rounded edge of my patterned paper I cut strip 1 1/2" wide by about 2" long.  I punched my border then pinced it in the middle, making it easier to go around my circle.  Then I simply just taped it to the back of my circled patterned paper.
From here I added my picture and ribbons.  I started with my widest ribbons and layered from there.  I ended up using 6 different May Arts ribbons on my layout:)




I am hoping to make the May Arts Design Team again this year.  Please leave me some love here and over at the May Arts blog letting the Ribbon Lady know that you would like the tutorials for all my projects :)  Best of luck with all trying out, and best of luck to May Arts choosing a new team.
Thanks for all of your support,
Jenifer

Kiss-May Arts

Here is a recent layout I created for the May Arts blog go check it out :)
  I loved the Core'dinations paper that I received; my pack had wonderful patterns and colors.  I also received a pack of glittery papers; those are the white punched flowers at the bottom of my page.  The glitter was hard to get a good picture of but believe me when I tell you they are pretty cool.
Here are the steps that I took to create this page:
  1.  Sand the cardstock to revel the cool pattern underneath.
  2. Punch your white glitter paper and your patterned paper.
  3. Take your 2.5” Grosgrain ribbon 351-94 and do a large running stitch with the Twine 412-17 and gather it to give it some texture.
  4. Layer your ribbons as desired.
  5. Add your pictures and other small bits and pieces.
  6. Create and add some flowers.
  7. I added some iridescent paint around the edges of my paper and also on the aqua grosgrain just for fun.
Supplies used:

Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my project today, leave me a link I would love to see what you’re working on.
