PageMaps RW Laser Cuts Chipboard Contest

Ahhhh.....another PageMap challenge. I am so addicted to these challenges now. But, this time no running out and spending a million dollars to complete the challenge. This time I added a little bit to the challenge for myself....NO SHOPPING! Oh no...what did I commit myself to? With the added stress of not being able to buy new stuff for this one.....off to my mini scrapbook store also know as "my closet" to round up some supplies to get this done, all the while remembering there was a color challenge too! YIKES! I once had a vision to complete a mini album that doubled as a cookbook for my 21 year old. Of course when I had the vision (I don't want to say how long ago it was...) I bought all the essentials, but never completed the project (go figure?). What a better time than the present to use those supplies. So, with this layout I used the Nana's Kitchen w/ Glitter stack by DCWV to get me started. I also wanted to use these pictures of my little one holding a slice

Coffee Creations! (aka...my work!)

Here are a few things I've created on Canvas. This first "HOME" canvas was created for the Project of the Month at work. It is inspired by several different Tim Holtz techniques. The entire design was created and sewn onto a 10x10 piece of cardstock and then adhered to the 10x10 canvas. The class was a huge success. My canvas was also used as advertising for Archiver's in June 2010. I was having such a great time creating canvases, I created this next canvas as a gift for my daughter's Kindergarten teacher. She absolutely loved it. I hated to part with it....but she was an Awesome teacher. Thanks Mrs. Cummings! My "Family Time" canvas is a 12x12 canvas where I printed a picture of me and three of the four kids onto an iron-on paper. I ironed the image onto the canvas and then used Tim Holtz distress inks to add color to the canvas. At work we recently were given a task by the home office to come up with a Printer's Tray idea. Our store put our brains

Page Maps Contest

I love Page Maps and I can't wait for Becky's email every month letting me know that the new maps are READY!!!! When I saw the challenge for this month I was so excited. First...a new MAP! and second...the PRIZE! Webster's Pages! I LOVE WP's ! Here's is my version of Becky's sketch ....hope you all enjoy it! Life can't get any easier when you've got such great subjects to photograph and Becky coming up with the maps each month! (thanks Beck!) On this layout I used October Afternoon papers and note cards. And, who doesn't love a Prima Flower or two...or three ...or four....! I use a lot of Tim Holtz products (including Grunge Board - this stuff is awesome!) in my work and love using the Distress Inks everywhere! I used the blending tool to add color to the pedals of the flower and a slightly wet paint brush and more distress ink to add color to the center of the Prima flower. I plan to put this layout in a shadow box and hang it on the wall. When
