Life's Beauty Canvas

For my latest SRTC Design Team project, I made an 8x8 canvas piece, full of handmade paper flowers & pieces of chipboard from Southern Ridge Trading Company which I covered with two different colours of Walnut Ink by Tsukineko. 

The leafy branch is item GAR-285 and the lovely flourishes are GAR-284. I used Kaiser Craft's Key to My Heart Collection for the papers.

 The leaves were sprayed with the Eucalyptus colour of Walnut Ink.

  The flourishes were sprayed with Terra Cotta Walnut Ink.

 I used dies from Cheery Lynn Designs for the flowers. The punched border is from EK Success. The butterfly is from a Martha Stewart punch. The title was printed off in different fonts from my computer on kraft cardstock.

 I hope I inspired you to move off the scrapbook page & onto a fun medium like canvas for a gorgeous home decor project! Cheers! :)

Happy Friday to you!! And it's sunny to boot! Woot woot! :P For those of you that have been patiently waiting for the Spellbinders Tool n' One, I've FINALLY had an update from Spellbinders in regards to this tool. Here's what I heard:

"Your incredible support of our new Tool ‘n One™ has been nothing short of amazing. In a short three months since introduction, the demand has completely caught us off guard. In addition, we have also encountered some unforeseen packaging issues that have delayed the launch.

I want to outline our plan and timetable to ensure we stay in front of any of your concerns by providing the most up to date information. Our first order has left China by air and is due to arrive no later than next Tuesday April 22nd. Once received, we need approximately two days to inventory and receive the goods. We then will begin shipping to the Wholesalers by Thursday, April 24th.

To ensure an adequate supply going forward, our second order is already in production. This order will be leaving China by air the second week of May. All of us understand the urgency and are doing our best, including working overtime to make all this happen and get you the goods your customers are clamoring for.

If you have any specific concerns, please contact me directly. My details are below.

Vice President of Sales"

Hey everyone! Don't we have the most talented designers submitting their work for Southern Ridge Trading Company? I'm so inspired by what has been posted here already!

I've been playing around with a heart theme for this week's post. I used the adorable heart border BOR-150 and coloured it using my Smooch Spritz Spray. It covers the chipboard & wooden pieces amazingly! I love how it jazzes it up with some sparkle and who doesn't love sparkle? 

The little wooden LOVE heart piece below is adorable left in it's "natural" state...

I used the smallest heart in the Heart frame set to pop up the title. I used the Smooch Spritz spray on it as well! How fun!

Here's a close up shot of BOR-150. Doesn't it look great with the button's popped up on that sparkled surface?

Make sure to check out all the amazing posts on the blog here from all the designers & leave comments for us! We love to hear from you too! Cheers!

Speaking of Cardstock -- there is some BIG news in the manufacturing world in regards to Bazzill Basics Paper being bought out by American Crafts. While they say it will be a seamless transition, there are some very unhappy customers (retailers & consumers) in regards to this news. This would answer some questions I've had in regards to why it's been so difficult to get certain lines of Bazzill over the last little while. Regardless, the Bazzill you know & love is no more, being replaced by AC instead. I for one, am not really thrilled. You can read more here: AC buys out Bazzill Basics Paper

Good Wednesday morning to you! Did any of you get pranked yesterday or pull any pranks for April Fool's Day? I bet they'd make a hilarious layout if you were able to capture it!
