Chocolate Brownie Pie

Kali decided that we need a dessert for supper. So we looked through the kitchen.  We found chocolate pudding, cool whip, chocolate sauce, graham cracker crust and brownies.  She combined all the items to make Chocolate Brownie Pie.  Shown below is the proud creator and her masterpiece.

Altered Picture Frame

I had a wooden picture frame (I think I bought it at Micheals over a year ago) laying around for quite a while. Always meaning to "to do" something with it.


Well I finally decided to get to it.  I took a piece of 12 x 12 purple Hydrangea scrapbook paper (sorry I don't recall the company). Tore it into pieces and then used Modge Podge to apply it to the picture frame. When it was dry I applied purple shimmer paint (found at the $ Tree).  While the paint was drying I cut out three "roses" and 4 stems and leaves from the Art Philosophy Cartridge.  I sprayed the flowers with glimmer mist and goosebumps. Next I glued the leaves and flowers to the frame, added some ribbon and voila this is the finished product!

The purple shimmer paint adds a nice sheen.


Best of all I get to show off my wonderful family in my office!

Sun Fun Album

This is my take on the bonus project from the Footloose WOTG.  I love the colours and papers contained in this kit.  I was able to pull this album together in an afternoon..The kit provides the paper, the album,  the stamps, the dimensional elements, the layouts and the paper cuts. I used my Art Philosophy Cartridge for some of the embellishments, title, and tags. Remember Keep it Simple! Remember the moments!
I used this album to display pictures from our trip to the Waterpark.

Playin' Around

I just got my order... and decided to play around with the Stella paper pack and the stamp set Just for you. I think this stamp set is becoming one of my new favourites. I think I will use this design at my next workshop.
