A few weeks ago I went with Caroline to The Crafty Scrapper in Waxahachie. Well Carolyn gave us a little demonstration using some Ten Seconds Studio products. My project was very simple compared to Caroline’s as I created a simple little altered heart. I wanted to use mine as a base for a project and well here is what I came up with. I think Ten Seconds Studio and Maya Road are a perfect combination. The base of the wall hanging is a page from a Maya Road 2-Ring Heart Chipboard Book, the scroll is from their new Scrolls II Chipboard Sets (LOVE THESE) the smaller heart is a page from their Heart Coaster Album and the flowers are their new Trinkets Velvet Pleat Blossoms and you know I love these!

As much as I am trying to fight not needing another medium to jump into well I cannot fight off this one anymore. I am so hooked. This craft is fun and easy… as long as you have the right tools that is… so any of you who are thinking about trying some metal work jump in and give it a go.

Yesterday I went with Caroline to help teach her class “Home is Where We” at “The Crafty Scrapper” in Waxahachie. Talk about the neatest store. I am trying to figure out a way to get the residents that live above the store to move. I would so live in that place. I’m not sure the rest of my family would be as happy as I would so I guess I will live there only in my dreams.

If you have not had the chance to visit this store you so need to jump in your car and get there. It is an easy drive, at least I thought it was as Caroline drove and I just talked her ears off. The Crafty Scrapper is located on the historic town square of Waxahachie and is nestled among lots of quaint shops so after you finish shopping at The Crafty Scrapper you can spend several additional hours shopping and eating at “The Dove’s Nest Restaurant.” Carolyn was so sweet and treated Caroline (gosh that is so hard to keep straight) and I to lunch. So we got a little taste of some food from “The Dove’s Nest”. I had the most incredible Chicken Apricot Salad sandwich and their chips are the best.

Check out the amazing amount of Maya Road products they carry.

Honestly you will really enjoy the store. The owner Carolyn and all her employees are super sweet and extremely helpful and Carolyn has some of the cutest projects and layouts displayed all throughout the store created by her design team.

I can’t wait to go back.

Last night while I should have been sleeping but couldn’t I decided to play around with some fabric I bought recently. I love the texture it adds to my layouts and projects especially heritage themed ones and as you all know that is my favorite style. So here is what I created and I think I am in love! Now I just need to create the perfect project to place it on.

Tomorrow I am going with Caroline to help her teach a class at “The Crafty Scrapper“. Caroline will be teaching her adorable altered house class with a mini album tucked inside. This will be my first trip to the store and I am so excited as I have heard so many wonderful things about it.
