Autograph Book for a Hockey Boy!

I made this Autograph Book for a little hockey fan!

So easy & so fun to do,

was out of my element making something that wasn't girly,

but i think it turned out cute!

Hope he gets some good sigs!

Powder Room Canvas Re-Do

This canvas was purchased a few years ago from Home Goods.

Forgot to take a before pic

but it just wasn't really what I wanted in the powder room.

I wanted to add more pink/feminine in there, wanted a monogram on it but wasn't sure where I was going with this.

So I started by just painting over the canvas with browns, creams & pinks, the messier the better, there was no plan here, I just went with it.

The flourish is an old Jim Holtz-Ideology Mask which I love love love

See where the flourish kind of ends?

I messed up some how so I needed something to cover it so.....

Then I cut out my monogram w/ my cricut on cardstock & chipboard then deco'd them together to give it a little dimension and added the primitive heart (to cover the mistake),

cut from an old paperback.

The quote i stamped with ink, cut the words out & inked some more...

inky & messy is the look I love

The quote says

"together is where your heart sings loudest"

love that

not sure where i got the quote...if you know, let me know!

Added a coat of Mod Podge & it was done

I love the way it turned out!

My Attempt at Subway Art

These are my sisters' Christmas gifts-

We were trying to scale back as much as possible & only give to the kids

But they always do so much for my girls so I wanted to give them something

meaningful & unique

This is my first attemp at my own unique style of

Subway Art

I used favorite song/artists for the quotes.

We all love music so much

This one is George Michael's "waiting for that day"

These started out as canvases that I purchased at Michaels-3 pack for $8.00 i think?

I painted it with acrylic paint.

I dont have any organized way of doing this I just go.......

For this one I used blue & white to get the weathered look

I cut lyrics out with my cricut & stamped some too

Covered it all with a coat of Mod Podge

This one is "all you need it love" by the Beatles!

Now looking back at this, I think I would have added more words to them

But I love the way they turned out

I love the pop of red I used with the green & the blue!

Let me know what you think!

The photos speak for themselves!

Joe & I attended a Halloween Party this year.

I am not a big fan of Halloween,

even less of a fan of dressing up!

Being from NY

This was not a far stretch

being that on most of our nights out

when we were in college & our 20's

we encountered people who were dressed like this

or acted like this!

Dare I say that I probably even dated

someone like this,

anyway

we dubbed ourselves

"The Happening & T-Wow"

We had a blast and danced the night away,

yes

even The Happening danced!

after we "GTL"

I AM tan and I like being tan BITCH!

this is the shirt BEFORE the shirt.

Big is out & lean is in.

I mean this situation is gonna be indescribable, you can't even describe the situation that you're about to get into the situation
