I made this beautiful canvas frame at my uplines, Cindy Baker’s consultant club.
That’s my beautiful daughter Danielle and my son-in-law Dustin. Jada’s Mommy and Daddy!
Made with our Veranda papers and embellished with our Filigree Charms that I painted, you can get this look too!


Book a gathering and I will teach you how to make these cool flowers!

I love making these paper flowers. Inspired by Donna Salazar, I am on a paper flower roll!

Here is a close up side view…

I made my own homemade shimmer spritz using 50% CREATE-A-SHADE™ PEARL PAINT, 50% Alcohol, reinkers (pick your color and the intensity of the shade you want, add drops accordingly) and a drop of white glue. I used an empty stamp cleaner spritzer bottle for my batch of sparkley fun!
I love our “Top Stitch” paper pack, our crocheted flowers, and our oddles of felt! Order some today!

Just back from Creative University and had a blast! I whipped up this yummy little album. This is my original idea…I used a border punch and a circle punch to layer my frosting! The cute paper is called “Top Stitch” and you can order it here!
Hope you likey!

I have been seeing this idea floating all around and I made my own version using our papers and embellishments!
I love topping a project with a tiny button with matching floss!

It’s easy peasy! Cover clothes pin with paper, make a paper flower and attach with liquid glass! A nice way to close up a gifty bag! Order supplies here!
