Here is a great video on creating texture on your scrapbook pages, art journals and mixed media projects. I love her practical approach to art! Christy rocks!

I tried to find a pair of flip flops at the dollar store, but they were all out since it is our winter right now. I know I have some shoes in the garage that have great texture so I'll see you later.....

Oh Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree...
Today I made this Christmas tree for my coffee table. It's just the perfect size.
I was inspired by Liz Qualman's tree on the Little Yellow Bicycle Blog. It came together pretty quickly with the Scor-Pal scoring board. The tricky part was gluing it all together. I used Little Yellow Bicycle's Wonder and Wishes patterned papers, and garland, which I added bling to every circle and I punched out a flower from the Dahlia Punch by EK Success. I then added pearls to the flower and placed it on a little plastic jar. It was fun! Have a great day!

My New Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer!
 | ||||
| Kitchen Aid Artisan Stand Mixers Besides scrapbooking, I love baking. It is so relaxing. Christmas is just around the corner and my husband bought me something that I have wanted for years. A new Kitchen Aid Artisan Stand Mixer! It's going to be great! I got the mixer in Green Apple. Today I am going to make some chocolate chip cookies and try it out. |

Twisted Sketches Layout #129
I created this layout for the Twisted Sketches Layout Design Team.
The twist on the sketch was ribbon. I made a flower from ribbon and pleated a ribbon on the layout. I used Lime Twist patterned papers by My Minds Eye and corrugated letters by Jillibean Soup. I then painted the letters. The paint splats I created with paint dabber and water.
You can find the sketch here.
Come have some fun with us and create your own layout from this sketch.
I also want to thank my American friends a very happy Thanksgiving. As a Canadian, I celebrated Thanksgiving in October with a turkey, all the trimmings and a pumpkin pie.
Have a wonderful day!
