IMAGES OF THIS PROJECT HAVE BEEN REMOVED FOR PUBLICATION. YOU WILL FIND IT IN THE FEB. MAR. 2009 ISSUE OF HOMEMADE.

especially Maya Road stuff. I tell ya chipboard makes me so happy. I decided to just play the other day and this is what I created. A fun little tag for my family. I’m not sure which side I like best. Can you name all the Maya Road products included? Those that get it right will have their name put in a drawing to win a RAK.

Good Luck!

A few weeks ago I went with Caroline to The Crafty Scrapper in Waxahachie. Well Carolyn gave us a little demonstration using some Ten Seconds Studio products. My project was very simple compared to Caroline’s as I created a simple little altered heart. I wanted to use mine as a base for a project and well here is what I came up with. I think Ten Seconds Studio and Maya Road are a perfect combination. The base of the wall hanging is a page from a Maya Road 2-Ring Heart Chipboard Book, the scroll is from their new Scrolls II Chipboard Sets (LOVE THESE) the smaller heart is a page from their Heart Coaster Album and the flowers are their new Trinkets Velvet Pleat Blossoms and you know I love these!

As much as I am trying to fight not needing another medium to jump into well I cannot fight off this one anymore. I am so hooked. This craft is fun and easy… as long as you have the right tools that is… so any of you who are thinking about trying some metal work jump in and give it a go.

I have my “Sweet Sentiments Box” tutorial listed for those of you that are interested in creating this for a loved one. It is a really pretty project and I am sure it that will be cherished for years to come by its recipient.

Okay on to Sneak Peek #4

I LOVE the new Maya Road Bird Coaster Books… these little darlings have so much creative potential. They are a smaller version of the Bird Coaster Book that was released during this past CHA-S. I loved creating their fancy wings with the new Scrolls from the Scrolls II Collection. The Velvet Sparkle and Jewel Ribbon Blossoms are a wonderful accent as well as their new buttons and Heart and Butterflies Charms.

5 Fanciful birds have been removed for publication.

I can’t believe I only have two more days of sneak peeks until I head off to CHA. Please stop by the Maya Road booth (#1987) so you can see all these great new products in person. They are jaw dropping.

Oh this little sneak peek is full of wonderful Maya Road new release items. So much fun I tell ya! In this little Valentine for daughter #2 (don’t worry daughter #1 I am making something for you too) you will see lots of new Maya Road goodies… Heart Beads from their Trinkets Beads “Hearts and Butterflies” collection, Crochet Shimmer Blossoms, Scrolls II, a butterfly from the “Butterflies and Bugs” collection and a Heart page from their new 2-Ring Heart Chipboard Book. So much fun!!! The possibilities are endless with all the new products. My brain cannot keep up with all the ideas I have swirling in my head. I do believe their new flowers and scrolls are what sends me soaring over the moon. I can use them on everything and LOL… I think I have.

Oh and Santa is picking the RAK winner today. I will announce the winner tomorrow. Good luck. I hope you all have been very good.

Enjoy your day!

around the corner and here are some really quick and simple cards I created for a swap. I made 16 cards 8 of each design and they took me less than 2 hours.

all you need are blank white cards (DCWV), pattern paper (Twitterpatted), scalloped scissors, a boa, Color Box Fluid Chalk Ink (rouge) and the Whale of a Punch (heart).

Here is a sneak peek of the heart shaped box I have been working on for Maya Road. It is such a fun item to alter.

I am still working on the heart shaped binder and am just about finished. Just a bit more journaling and I’m done. I will post a sneak peek of it sometime tomorrow. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We finally got to see some sun!

Look at all the wonderful new twills Maya Road will be debuting at CHA. They are part of the Journey East Collection and come in red, blue, pink, brown and lilac. They also have clear stamps that match the patterns. Talk about WONDERFUL… Maya Road now has clear stamps! You are going to want every single one of them… believe me!

Here is a little project I created last night using some of their clear stamps and twills. This was so fun to create. The big heart is a page from their heart binder and the 2 smaller hearts are from their heart mini album. The chipboard motif is also by Maya Road. I LOVE the new chipboard that is coming out.

Images removed for publication. This project will be in the Feb/Mar 2008 issue of Paper Trends.

I hope you enjoy these sneak peeks. Off to finish up my heart binder and box. I will be taking this with me to CHA. I just could not get it finished in time to mail it today.

Have a wonderful day.
