Here is the other make n take I did using the Maya Mists, Bird Coaster Album, Snowflakes Chipboard Set and Sheer Ribbons. This is a super easy make n take to demo at a LSS.

First, place your Chipboard Snowflakes on top of a page from the Bird Coaster Album. Completely cover the bird and snowflakes using Bue Maya Mist, and remove the Chipboard Snowflakes setting them aside. Next, lightly spray the bird using Silver Metallic Maya Mist. Once it is dry you can outline your sprayed snowflakes using white and black pens. To finish it off just tie some sheer ribbon through the hole to create a hanger. Maya Road has a new Sheer Ribbon that has Silver Snowflakes that would work perfectly.

(Silver Metallic Maya Mist only)

This is such a simple make n take. You can spray the Chipboard Snowflakes you used as a mask with the Silver Metallic Maya Mist to add some shimmer or leave them a matte finish and just outline them using a black and white pen.

(Blue Maya Mist only)

Your customers now have a bird ornament and some snowflake embellishments to use in future projects.

IMAGES OF THIS PROJECT HAVE BEEN REMOVED DUE TO PUBLICATION. LOOK FOR IT IN THE FEB. MAR. 2009 EDITION OF HOMEMADE

Here is a project I created for CHA-S using loads of new Maya Road products. I don’t think it will be hard to figure out I am so in love with many of their new releases.

You will be seeing lots of these new felt beaded flowers, the clear stick pins (be still my heart) and the cherry blossom chipboard sets in future projects and layouts. I made the base of the wall hanging by placing two pages from one of their new albums end to end. I will share that album soon.

and I get to finally start sharing some of my CHA-S projects. I think Maya Road really out did themselves with their new release. I got to play with lots of their new products and thought I would share some photos of a few of my favorites. You are all going to be stalking your LSS believe me!

This set is so unique. Some birds look as though they are flying and some are perfect for resting on a branch. Which is nice when you want to add dimension and interest to a project. The blossoms are beautiful. Some are nested so you can have a really thin chipboard outline of a flower with a felt, fabric or paper inside…. so many creative options with these.

These little Flower Jewels come in Clear, Spring and Winter color schemes.

The Felt Beaded Blossoms come in three different sets, Brown and Cream, Lt. Pink and Dk. Pink, Red and Black. Each little bead is hand sewn onto the flower. The quality of the beads and felt is top notch.

The Suede Stitched Blossoms also come in three different sets Pink and Cream, Red and Orange, Blue and Brown. The rhinestone centers match the blossom petals perfectly.

Oh and the Pom Pom Trim something I will be using a lot on layouts and projects comes in Cream, Pink, Red, Green, Blue, Brown. These are certain to be a staple in your scrapping supply.

Which products are going to be a must have for you?

I cannot wait for Monday!
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

This “Bird of Friendship” mini kit goes on sale May 1st over at Cocoa Daisy. If you like to create quick inexpensive projects this is a kit you will enjoy. This mini kit comes with all the supplies shown as well as step by step instructions and color photos.

As you can see there are many of my favorite Maya Road products included. And speaking of Maya Road. You need to check out their new website. They have a new section called Creative Corner that is filled with lots of great ideas using their products. If you want to purchase products seen in some of the projects featured now you can. The item you purchase are bought and shipped from a store that carries Maya Road. So, leave me a post telling me what you think about the site and I will randomly pick a winner for a Maya Road RAK.

Enjoy!

in my front yard 5 baby bunnies. The lawn guy came across this little rabbit den the other day and I can hardly stand knowing they are out there. They are the cutest little things ever. At the moment, I understand why Beatrix Potter loved drawing and creating stories of these adorable little things but I have a feeling I will feel like Mister McGregor in a few months when they start eating all my flowers. Man can they ever wipe out a thing of pansies in no time flat. But for now I am just going to enjoy the little bit of nature I have in my front yard. I will soon have some baby birds to watch as there has been a lot of interest around my bird houses.

Wishing you a great day.

Okay as promised here are some more photos of the booth at CHA. I tell ya these were all taken the last day of the show because during the show you could not even think about taking photos. That booth was crazy.

The Tree Album was done by Aubrey and the little houses were created by Wendy.

These are the cutest houses. The windows, shutters and doors are all stored separately inside the house along with an album. Super fun project. The 3D effect that the windows, shutters and doors give to the houses is so nice. These projects were created by Wendy, Jessica (sure wish someone would get a blog Jess) and Caroline.

Super cute new stamps All the stamps along the top are new. The images are so crisp. I love working with them. The projects shown are created by Wendy.

Man do I LOVE all these flowers. They make my heart skip a few beats each time I see them. They are all handmade and so lovely. The rhinestones are so sparkly and the pearls are all dyed and will not flake off and all the rhinestones and pearls are sewn on to the flowers. Gosh, these are just the best. If you love flowers you really have to get these. The projects shown were created by Wendy and Katie.

These are the new Trinkets Beads and Charms. They have Birds of a Feather, Hearts and Butterflies and Tutti Fruity. They are the clearest beads with the perfect amount of color and detail. Seriously top notch in quality but that is pretty much a given when you purchase any Maya Road products. The projects shown are created by Wendy.

Okay more tomorrow. I have got to do a few things for Cocoa Daisy using their March kit. I will post tomorrow or Saturday. Man can someone tell me where this week went?

I created this Christmas Sampler using lots of products by Heidi Grace. Her new Jolly & Bright line was released at CHA-S and is it ever adorable! I love the red and pink color combination and her whimsical designs are cute, cute, cute! Heidi’s line includes double sided paper, glitter paper, flocked paper, punch-outs, embossed chipboard, rub-ons, printed flowers and lots more.

And you know I couldn’t do a project without using some wonderful Maya Road products. I accented my Sampler using several… Birds of a Feather, Dark Red Velvet Ric Rac, Antique Keys, Mega Bottlecaps, Motif Chipboard Set (House), Snowflakes and Hearts.

I’m not sure what I’m going to work on today as I have a few ideas in my head right now. I have a feeling it will be created with either Heidi Grace or Cloud 9 and of course some Maya Road. Will post tomorrow.

Wishing you all a wonderful day.
