I'm Lovin' It Monday

I don't know how the release slipped by me, but I am lovin' the new Heather Ross line, Far Far Away. I love her whimsical take on some of my favorite classic story tales like the Princess and the Pea and the Frog Prince.

What else am I lovin'? I am lovin' Que Sera Sera by K & Company, but good luck finding it anywhere but online (but if you do, pick up one for me too). It is so popular that it flew out of all of our local Michaels Stores but it is definitely worth the extra shipping!

The papers are just gorgeous and some of the jewel tones they use are just dazzling. Complete with some glitter and texture, you will need very little in the way of embellishments!

100 Inchies Project, #51-60 Summer Theme

While I struggled with the last theme (Under the Sea) and felt the inchies did not reflect my personal style, this theme (Summer) came easily to me and I feel is a true reflection of my artistic style, love it or not! I had wanted to mix my favorite mediums, fabric, paper, ribbon and buttons. Combining mediums on a one inch square can be challenging but I am happy with the way they came out, hopefully my partners will like them!

100 Inchies Project #41-50

Here are my "Under The Sea" themed Inchies for the 100 inchies Project on Swap-Bot. I had a hard time with this one, I just couldn't find a way to blend my style with the theme so although I do like the way they came out, they don't feel "me" but I guess that is all a part of taking on challenges.... sigh....!

Word Themed Inchies

I completed these word themed inchies over the weekend as part of the 100 inchie project on Swap-Bot . I knew exactly what I wanted to do for this theme. I watercolored each of the inchies' backgrounds and then used the words as inspiration for the design.

There is nothing like an inchie for a quick burst of creative refueling! I keep a container full of them on my workspace to play with, doodle on or draw inspiration from.
