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! :)

Good Tuesday morning to you!! Looking like it's going to be a great week of weather leading up to our crop this weekend... I'll be working on a card class for next month in the next day or two, so keep watching for that listing. Since Mother's Day is coming up, I'd expect that class will be feminine themed ;) Hopefully shipping notices for the mid-season releases will be sent out soon -- I"ll keep you posted on what's coming & when to expect it in the store! And since it's leading up to National Scrapbooking Day on Saturday, let's have a SALE!!

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.
