Altered Canvas Bag

I've been into altered art lately and yesterday was no exception. I came across a plain old canvas bag tucked into the dark corners of my closet.

It was quite boring and just dying to be prettied up! I got to work last night with my mists and bling and just went to town!

Close up of some lace I purchased at a dollar store out here - Daiso (awesome deals!) and the gorgeous fabric brads from ZVA Creative.

The pearl flourishes are from ZVA Creative- aren't they just drool-worthy?! I love how they added a romantic touch to the project.

This project was actually quite simple to do and quite quick if you don't count drying time - LOL!

ZVA Products Used: PEW-02CB-106 (small pearl flourish), PEW-02CB-105 (small pearl flourish), PEW-02CB-107 (small pearl flourish), PE-03CA-114 (medium pearl flourish), Canvas Brads

Warm Hearts

I've wanted to scrap these photos since last winter and never could find the right inspiration - yea for some mojo! I love it when the perfect combination of papers and embellies and photos just come together!


I used some of last year's collection from Pink Paislee - just loved the vintage feel of their Mistletoe & Co. line. I added a little Graphic 45 in for good measure which I thought complimented the blue and wine colours nicely and kept with that shabby chic feel.

The fabulous bling is ZVA Creative! Doesn't it add just the perfect touch of winter - almost like a little icing on the cake, non? ZVA Products used on this layout are: PE-03CA-114 (medium pearl flourish), PEB-03CA-108 (large pearl flourish), PEW-02CB-105 (small pearl flourish), FLBK-02CA104 (mini blue roses).

Be back tomorrow with some exciting news on an upcoming Blog Hop! Thanks for stopping by!

Patience is a Virtue

Here's a layout I did of my sons (trying to) feed the ducks - LOL! Every weekend we always go for walks into town, grab our Starbucks and just wander. On one of these days we decided to try out a new park. On the way to the playground, we ran into a few ducks! The boys were so persistent - they NEEDED the ducks to eat THEIR bread - too funny!! My dh and I had to keep telling them to be slow and quiet or they'd scare the ducks away - a very difficult task for 2 little boys!

A close up of the gorgeous Petaloo blooms - aren't they divine!? I love the bit of sparkle and the Jewel centres finish them off perfectly!
