Here is an ornament I created using lots of Maya Road product. First I painted a page from a Maya Road Sheer Snowflake Coaster Album using Spotlight Paint by Making Memories. Once dry, I completely covered the snowflake in Krystallos Shard Vintage Glass by Art Glitter. I LOVE any and everything by Art Glitter. Next, I covered a page from a Maya Road Chipboard Bird Coaster Album using BasicGrey patterned papers. Then I created a wing from a Maya Road Scroll Chipboard that has been painted and covered with Crackle Accents by Ranger. I painted two Maya Road Royalty Chipboard Crowns using a Metallic Gold Paint Dabber by Ranger. Then placed some Maya Road Velvet Blossom Trim in Rich Red in between the two crowns and attached the crown to the top of the birds head. I applied Gold Stickles by Ranger to the top of the front crown. To finish my bird I accented it using ribbons, lace and tags created from scraps. Once everything was dry I attached the bird to the snowflake (use a strong liquid glue or hot glue gun) and strung blue tulle through the top of the snowflake and tied it into a knot.

I think I am going to use rub ons to place the year on the star tag and then either a name or other holiday word on the other tag… just can’t seem to make up my mind quite yet.

I created this Christmas Sampler using lots of products by Heidi Grace. Her new Jolly & Bright line was released at CHA-S and is it ever adorable! I love the red and pink color combination and her whimsical designs are cute, cute, cute! Heidi’s line includes double sided paper, glitter paper, flocked paper, punch-outs, embossed chipboard, rub-ons, printed flowers and lots more.

And you know I couldn’t do a project without using some wonderful Maya Road products. I accented my Sampler using several… Birds of a Feather, Dark Red Velvet Ric Rac, Antique Keys, Mega Bottlecaps, Motif Chipboard Set (House), Snowflakes and Hearts.

I’m not sure what I’m going to work on today as I have a few ideas in my head right now. I have a feeling it will be created with either Heidi Grace or Cloud 9 and of course some Maya Road. Will post tomorrow.

Wishing you all a wonderful day.

This has got to be the fastest card I have ever created… took me less than 20 min. The patterned papers and R. I. P. accent are from Daisy D’s 8 x 8 Halloween paper pack. I created the ghost using a Sheer Paisley by Maya Road. This little ghost was fun to make… all I did was add some wiggly eyes and a “Noah” rubon letter “O” for the mouth. The velvet ric rac is Midnight Black by Maya Road. These trims are seriously addicting. The colors are beautiful. The alphabet stickers are by Scenic Route. They are their Black Berkely Stickers. And you all know I could not complete a project without using Stickles… I coverd the word “BOO” using Black Diamond.

Have a great weekend.

In honor of this day I will be giving away a nice little Maya Road RAK. All you need to do is leave me a comment in todays post and I will have Ansley draw a winner. Here is a photo of just some of the goodies you can win. Jessica said she was going to add a few more items but those will have to be a surprise.

This afternoon I’m going to help Caroline teach a class at the Scrapbook Pad. I know lots of fun will be had by all… I can’t wait. The class is to show everyone how to create really cute mini albums using Maya Road journey tins.

Enjoy your day and please share what you create. I would love to see some projects that were created using some of my tutorials. What tutorials would you all like to see next? Just let me know and I will see what I can come up with.

This project is so fun and is a total scraplift from Rachel Ludwig. When I saw her layout in the creating garden at 2Peas I knew I had to make one for my niece Madelyn. Rachel created hers using BasicGrey mini monograms. I created mine using Maya Road chipboard letters and hearts.

I love using crackling medium on chipboard and think it gave the piece a really nice shabby chic feel which is how Madelyn and soon to be Isabella Kate’s room is decorated.

I then added some Making Memories glitter glaze to give some added sparkle. The crown on Madelyn’s head is one of the new items from Heidi Swapp. If you like bling you like Heidi Swapp. I think the crown fits perfectly on Madelyn’s cute little head.

I’m presently working on a few projects that I cannot share. You will have to wait until they show up in a magazine or two. I do have a few challenges for Maya Road to complete. The Cocoa Daisy April kit will soon be on sale. I know you will want to see what Mou has created. She is our guest designer. I will be able to show you my layouts from the April kit in just a few days. So until then… happy creating and remember always savor the creative process.
