Having Fun CREATING!!!

Believe CanvasThis week has been SUPER FUN!
Super, DUPER busy!!! But, SUPER fun!  With the Unity Stamp Co , Helmar  & Susan K. Weckesser Inc. cross promotion it has been SO fun to see all the SUPER AWESOME creative work that all the design teams have been doing. I have been teary eyed looking at all the WONDERFUL work!Cross promotion
I really haven't totally unpacked from Chicago and CHA, but I was still able to find some time to be "CREATIVE" for myself.
I like to
'UPCRAFT, GREEN CRAFT, and RECYCLE.
So for the canvas that I made I took a couple previous projects and combined them into a new look.20120726_117
I used some old blue jeans and vintage sewing patterns as my background which I stuck on with Helmar's Decoupage & Craft Paste.To add some color I used Martha Stewart's acrylic paint from Plaid as a wash.

I also glued some little shells & dried flowers on with some of Helmar's Craft glue. I used flowers from my garden, but if you don't have any, you can find them at a craft store like Michael's.

For the banner, I used my stamp kit, 'Celebration of Simple' . You can find it on the Unity Stamp Co. Site 
---->HERE<----
I used Clearsnap inks and stamps directly onto canvas and then just cut them out.

Yes, we can be silly! That is part of the fun!
That is Jessica. My 'JessieBean'. She is our youngest daughter and this week I was lucky enough to have her help me out in the Studio. After she had helped my organize some supplies and files, she got out sat done and got crafty. I LOVE what she created!
Jessica's Layout
It is WONDERFUL! She took an older picture of her sister Ashley and created a CELEBRATION PAGE!!!! So Creative and beautiful!! She used my Live in Color paper , and a few of my co-branded Unity  stamps kits including these…

                      My paper line can be bought at WANT2SCRAP's online store.
                                                       
Jessica's Layout 3
I love how Jessica paid attention to the details like cutting out the flowers an making them pop off the page by using foam adhesive and  and black ink on the stamps. COOL.

Look how Jessica used the Fly Away cloud stamp on the Live in Color paper and then cut it out! Love all the layers!
*It is Super FUN to PLAY with COLOR!
