Lately I get so excited when I get a chance to finish a craft project. Like most artists and crafters, I have heaps of projects to complete. And the pile just keeps on growing!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think I have figured out why it takes me so long to finish one creation. I usually make all my own little embellishments for my projects. So there's designing time, painting time, drying time, gluing time...and on and on.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Anyway, on to the shabby chic heart wall hanging.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I dyed some seam binding for the bow. Wrapped white floral tape around some wire and made little curly ques and adhered crystal beads to the ends. I made all the little pearl flower embellies, as well as, the paper rose. You really can't see the bling spray in the pictures, but I took thick fishing line and strung crystal and pearl beads along it, gluing them in place so they wouldn't slide. I even made the string of pearls....ok...not really...LOL!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I also made the stick pin and pearl dangle. I had so much fun making every thing for this heart.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh my gosh, time has flown by this last year! Not to mention, I hit a mile stone last month. I turned 50. OMG 50!!! How did that happen?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Let's see, where to start to do a fast update of the past year. Not a lot has happened, as we are very boring home bodies...lol.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This past summer we almost lost my hubby. He was taken in for emergency surgery for a herniated bowl blockage and during surgery he aspirated. The inside of his lungs got burned up from all the stomach acids and he was placed in an induced medical coma and placed on a ventilator for 4 loooong scary days. He spent another 11 days in the hospital recouping. We were really blessed! The doctors told us that only 1 out of 4 survive what happened to him.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The next big event was buying a house. We sold our last house and moved to the coast saying we were going to enjoy apartment living where we didn't have to do any maintenance and spend a lot of our free time on the beach. Here we are 5 years later buying a handyman fixer upper....ugh! Talk about time consuming...this is it! lol. Really, it is a great house with awesome potential. It looks like a small little cottage from the front, but it is huge. Almost 2000 square feet.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOTExsjCt8zTYckILkqN1l2D5MDmwXiPdsSD0iOEYyVezPyHQM9ehE1pgxhg0TasUCNDFqbR_TQrhgd_EvHewtmohB0XJDPmdX-kEucDMSIsSY5RxDmMMpCpmuxk-QTemsJQ9lK64Wa8IM/s1600/20141029_171217-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOTExsjCt8zTYckILkqN1l2D5MDmwXiPdsSD0iOEYyVezPyHQM9ehE1pgxhg0TasUCNDFqbR_TQrhgd_EvHewtmohB0XJDPmdX-kEucDMSIsSY5RxDmMMpCpmuxk-QTemsJQ9lK64Wa8IM/s1600/20141029_171217-1.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With no curb appeal! That will take a little bit of time. I invision a country cottage garden, a porch swing on one side of the porch and a sitting area on the other side. I need to focus on the inside first.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The first thing I've tackled so far is the outdated kitchen cabinets. As we can't afford to rip them out at this time, I decided to give them a good sanding and do a very labor intensive distressing technique. Never did I think it would take as long as it did! Hubby removed the built in ovens and stove top. We installed all new stainless appliances...yay! So far we just have the cabinets done. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Cabinets before</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Can you tell I'm just a bit of a shabby country gal? lol. These look so much better in person.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Next to tackle is installing the butcher block counter tops and back splash tiles.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now on to a couple crafty projects I've completed. First is a twine star. I'm sorry I don't remember who I got the idea from to give them credit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I glued craft sticks together in the shape of a star. Once dried, I glue some twine to create a hanging hoop then began wrapping the start shape.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I continued wrapping and wrapping adding glue to hold it every few wraps until it was done. Then hung it up.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It measures approximately 16 inches.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Next, I made two rag garland banners to drape over the windows in the craft room. Each measures just over 3 feet long. I cut my fabric in 2 x 22 inch strips. I absolutely LOVE them!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hey my bloggy friends....I have not fallen off the face of the earth...yet anyways...LOL. I can't believe I have not done any posting since November...where has the time gone again?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I haven't been doing any scrapbooking, I lost my scrappy mojo for the time being, which I thought would never happen. So, what have I been doing? painting. I have always done the fun whimsical paintings, though I have always wanted to try a more realistic look, so I began doing research looking for techniques. I came across 3 good instructors that I have learned a lot from, who all say "anyone can paint". <a href="http://www.brandon-schaefer.com/" target="_blank">Brandon Schaefer</a>, <a href="http://www.darrellcrow.com/" target="_blank">Darrell Crow</a>, and <a href="http://www.wilsonbickford.com/" target="_blank">Wilson Bickford</a>. I am no where near their level of artistry, as I have A LOT to learn, however, I am happy with my paintings. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These are painted with acrylics on stretched canvas or canvas boards.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The Holiday Hop at <a href="http://www.sketchnscrap.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sketch~N~Scrap</a>. Have you been following along each day? Today is my turn to feature my project that I created for the hop. I chose Halloween as my holiday to represent. I love Halloween. Which is surprising since I'm a big scardy cat of all things creepy and crawly. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided on a mixed media canvas. (see the video link below)</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg00judIxo2yRE1Ljy6Sl-nirimZ9Uu4g00c_MybvVe5e8w6_-zDNFiZo8OADUstzS_JPlhH-vdvKeR_V5mvrnPRJOewuIw1M6mCscj9_oXPf2Zln7TIs7uYhF3HGBzFFnkeT-XIr2m7WCx/s1600/halloween+canvas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="383" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg00judIxo2yRE1Ljy6Sl-nirimZ9Uu4g00c_MybvVe5e8w6_-zDNFiZo8OADUstzS_JPlhH-vdvKeR_V5mvrnPRJOewuIw1M6mCscj9_oXPf2Zln7TIs7uYhF3HGBzFFnkeT-XIr2m7WCx/s400/halloween+canvas.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I really had a good time creating this. I actually have a good time creating anything that includes getting my hands dirty...LOL. To see step by step on how I created this, be sure to check out my video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocSl7ULxuqE" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, on to the prize. I am giving away a Freshly Picked Cricut cartridge. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimdkY3t1dzjcFJJjajJlohMZwGDZbRrBLNOX7w7ckqSgbFaV1rU7WFyzEDSxx7t9qJeptfiK6SVKsKMJqIOvTAgNxS64R5SR-fURj-GgF-cjNFEmZg4abVvhLVK0NBWK6ztIePOiDypYqW/s1600/aaa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimdkY3t1dzjcFJJjajJlohMZwGDZbRrBLNOX7w7ckqSgbFaV1rU7WFyzEDSxx7t9qJeptfiK6SVKsKMJqIOvTAgNxS64R5SR-fURj-GgF-cjNFEmZg4abVvhLVK0NBWK6ztIePOiDypYqW/s400/aaa.jpg" width="387" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">However, there is a certain requirement to be eligible to win. You must play along with any of the October sketches from <a href="http://www.sketchnscrap.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sketch~N~Scrap</a>. Then come back here and post what number your entry is under in this posts comment section. I will be picking and announcing a winner November 1st.</span> <i><span style="font-size: large;">Good Luck!</span></i></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> my take</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhHaFUCEHTuKcdpt2rNI31pMTq58SgN-nbz7UpNYGmNFKo0XiUn9O3gLOpDSftFT8sNM7DR2Y1qmzzBZuSF7Z2TwDanDF0KjHdFxOXpaf0BOgyojzj4aea5t5IIanMC64X-gDC07COEam8/s1600/theresa-oct15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhHaFUCEHTuKcdpt2rNI31pMTq58SgN-nbz7UpNYGmNFKo0XiUn9O3gLOpDSftFT8sNM7DR2Y1qmzzBZuSF7Z2TwDanDF0KjHdFxOXpaf0BOgyojzj4aea5t5IIanMC64X-gDC07COEam8/s640/theresa-oct15.jpg" width="630" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Of course if you play along, you do not have to make it Halloween themed to qualify for the prize.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dax made the cutest spooky skeleton last Halloween. He looked like he was a decoration when he leaned back against the tree.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The pumpkin is an svg cutting file from BirdsCards. The skeleton was a freebie from I can't remember where. I cut him and the spider web out of white vinyl. I aslo cut the title from vinyl using a dripping marker font. For the journaling bones, in SCAL I took a rectangle and heart shapes and union'ed them together, then stretched them to the size I wanted.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you get a chance to play along. Also, be sure to check out the card sketches on the 5th and 20th of every month.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have been sick, so that is the reason for a lack of a project for the past few days. I was feeling better this morning and surfed the web for some inspiration. I ran across <a href="http://www.birdscards.com/" target="_blank">Birds Cards</a> new post of a pumpkin treat bag cutting file. I thought they would be cute to make for Dax's class for Halloween.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are a couple I have done so far. Now, just 22 more to make...LOL</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> Sorry for the poor photo and the streaks. I was trying to get it all finished yesterday and couldn't wait for the mod podge to dry.</span> <span style="font-size: large;">I made a step by step video of how I made this.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I didn't have a chance to make a step by step today. I hope to add it at a later time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I bought these framed from Walmart in the craft section for 4.98. They were bare wood. I designed a stencil in SCAL and cut it out of contact paper on the Cricut machine. Then painted then removed the contact paper. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These are going in my bathroom also. I haven't gotten any photos in them yet. I need to find something. Hey, maybe I could get my super talented scrappy friend <a href="http://www.dannisdreamscrafts.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Danni</a> to color me some images....hmmmmm LOL</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I was really excited about participating in Oct 2013 Project A Day, an event on facebook. I got right up and got busy on my project.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For today's project I decided on an altered candle. I am redoing the main little bathroom and I decided to make some decor. I have had this beat up candle literally for years. It needed to go in the trash bin, or get a much needed makeover. Guess the makeover won out. I think it turned out super cute. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is a step by step</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiozS1_otg7W_bPVdpfj4bVItUgW4DE77iGqQ7ZkReZK2MGQywR54d2PqIQk4Aj8T_OAdb18wFXfOzJ8fFpmKF6xH9R7FSAdlV-VpC-UksbAHbYSUVYFnEOmV33omeLNjXWj7egexn7gQm8/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiozS1_otg7W_bPVdpfj4bVItUgW4DE77iGqQ7ZkReZK2MGQywR54d2PqIQk4Aj8T_OAdb18wFXfOzJ8fFpmKF6xH9R7FSAdlV-VpC-UksbAHbYSUVYFnEOmV33omeLNjXWj7egexn7gQm8/s320/1.jpg" width="314" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> It started out as a green candle</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZkXGJL7_YSB4IM5yUXxDH5GWJCbSTJ0xFw19QMXaI8mTJuuZt5_khJGfyV4s_HkQPWRLA5M0qpsZif40Qusesa0BXn26fcNMqD9syY3WCCgGD3EDdJxP8rVSSFiM85-zFfWbPhTv1Cq2f/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="283" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZkXGJL7_YSB4IM5yUXxDH5GWJCbSTJ0xFw19QMXaI8mTJuuZt5_khJGfyV4s_HkQPWRLA5M0qpsZif40Qusesa0BXn26fcNMqD9syY3WCCgGD3EDdJxP8rVSSFiM85-zFfWbPhTv1Cq2f/s320/2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Since it is for decoration only and I have </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">no intentions of burning it, I gave it a</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> couple coats of grey acrylic paint.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I picked out a few papers from my </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">stash that fits into my color scheme.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZaq7rajTU-8Qg4EjZLl-E5i9F58TwbmNK05K4USmK9HnlXdECUIAjQdZGg5ASG3t7eOaFCuZCfKTp32aa0zVzROqHRT4GYcyNmhfHFE98-UAvwEDGkYHxyscv0wgEOpzmd9NEifWlOcML/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZaq7rajTU-8Qg4EjZLl-E5i9F58TwbmNK05K4USmK9HnlXdECUIAjQdZGg5ASG3t7eOaFCuZCfKTp32aa0zVzROqHRT4GYcyNmhfHFE98-UAvwEDGkYHxyscv0wgEOpzmd9NEifWlOcML/s640/4.jpg" width="350" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I wrapped them around the candle and glued </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the edges together. Then added some canvas </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">twine to finish it off. I also painted the brass </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">candle holder white so it would fit in better.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I used Simple Stories Say Cheese collection. Though it is mostly geared towards Disney, it has a lot of fun elements in it for non Disney projects. I love the colors in the collections.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> I was so glad that Kristie picked Studio Calico's Yearbook collection for me to use in the 24 Hour Challenge in the yahoo group Scrappin-N-Chattin. It worked perfectly with <a href="http://www.thepinkelephantchallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Pink Elephant's</a> challenge this week, which is "Back2School" themed.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Really?....it's September already? I remember my mom telling me (and then me telling my kids). Enjoy being a kid, once you grow up time just flies by! She sure wasn't kidding!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With a new month comes a new set of sketches over at <a href="http://www.sketchnscrap.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sketch~N~Scrap</a>. As always, the first one goes live on the first of each month. I hope you love working with their sketches as much as I do.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is September 1st sketch</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1iZX_q1THzre4qdxeQWvYZqAkTYljZmiEeZQrzz37u9kYyazdFQtuRGlShVTbd5dn887QL0EGuiEiosCP_Y32S7yB045Lh1QN-LfIZEF2Cbnr-GICjtA_FSawwuL4z1o10uay1yf-yE7Z/s1600/sept+1st.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1iZX_q1THzre4qdxeQWvYZqAkTYljZmiEeZQrzz37u9kYyazdFQtuRGlShVTbd5dn887QL0EGuiEiosCP_Y32S7yB045Lh1QN-LfIZEF2Cbnr-GICjtA_FSawwuL4z1o10uay1yf-yE7Z/s320/sept+1st.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't work a lot with multi photo layouts. I seem to try to focus on one or two photos, and use multi photos for mini albums. So when I do use multi photos, it always challenges me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is my take on the sketch</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRLnrXZqbGTm60cmkdY4RZNVGOOanDRmlUvah9FJdB9RhHNGmmnwdd5QxQyg1nxnrXZ75G7zZBAJkA-xWj26mKn17A8MqVrjOTrSipL6bIwuTNPqzJ6uEt4ZlcRDSs7QPuHl4BvWbN0seZ/s1600/sept+1st-theresa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRLnrXZqbGTm60cmkdY4RZNVGOOanDRmlUvah9FJdB9RhHNGmmnwdd5QxQyg1nxnrXZ75G7zZBAJkA-xWj26mKn17A8MqVrjOTrSipL6bIwuTNPqzJ6uEt4ZlcRDSs7QPuHl4BvWbN0seZ/s400/sept+1st-theresa.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On a rare occasion here in south Texas, we get some rain. I love when it happens on a warm summers day. My grandkids, Dax and Josslyn loved it too, as they couldn't get out the door fast enough when I asked them if they wanted to go out and play in the rain.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There are a few things that I myself never seem to out grow. Playing in the rain, coloring, and playing with Play Doh. LOL</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you get a chance to play along with us at <a href="http://www.sketchnscrap.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sketch~N~Scrap</a>. In the mean time, be sure to head over and check out what the other designers created with the sketch.</span></div>

As well as, the second sketch for the month. Layout sketches come out every 1st and 15th</span>. <span style="font-size: large;">And if you prefer to make cards, no worries. The card sketches come out on the 5th and 20th of each month. Now there are no excuses...get your hiney's over there and play along! LOL</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is August 15th's sketch. Doesn't it look fun?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now here is my take</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love these pictures I captured of Dax with the sparklers. Believe it or not, this was his first experience with them. At first, he was scared to hold them. But after the fear wore off, he was running all around with them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For the circles, I used an old pill bottle with the lid removed and dipped in in some paint. The stars are traced with shapes I cut on the Cricut.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Be sure to get your creation entered for a chance at this months prize from CTMH, brought to you by <a href="http://scrapitup.ctmh.com/" target="_blank">Amanda Armitage</a> </span>.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As well as scrapbooking, I love to paint. My newest craze is painting canvas's. I seen this quote on Pinterest and knew it had to have a place in my craft room. I painted on a small 4 inch by 12 inch canvas and hung it on the little space of wall between the closet door and corner. It was meant to be!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">OMG....I'm Late! I knew it was coming...but really....how did August 1st get here? My life is crazy right now and I can't seem to keep things straight. But enough about that, let's get to another great sketch by Sketch~N~Scrap.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is August 1st sketch...isn't it great?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used the oldie but goody Restoration collection by Crate Paper. It went so well with the photo. Like it was meant to be. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Recently I went to Michigan. This was the first time since 1999 that all five of us kids were with my mom.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It's that time again. What time you ask? Time for another awesome sketch from <a href="http://sketchnscrap.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sketch~N~Scrap</a>. <a href="http://www.creatingwithpaperandmore.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> Kelly Holifield</a> created this fabulous sketch that sparked my creativity.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Isn't that wood veneer mustache too cute? I inked it slightly to highlight it a bit. And those stars....love 'em! they are the <a href="http://www.pinkpaislee.com/?portfolio=artisan-collection" target="_blank">Artisan Elements</a> by Pink Pasilee. I love how they come all white, then when you ink them there is a resist on them and a pattern shows up. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I am excited to bring you my first reveal as a new Design Team member with <a href="http://sketchnscrap.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sketch~N~Scrap</a>. I don't feel I brought full justice to the sketch, I had to go to Michigan for a family medical procedure. I tried to pack everything that I thought I would need to meet my commitment, but once there, I didn't have anything I wanted! go figure huh?</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So anyway, here is the sketch.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Not only am I not completely happy with the results, I couldn't get any good lighting for photographing it.</span></div>
