Workshop on the Go - Canvas

I held a workshop on Sunday and had tons of fun creating my canvas - I couldn't wait to share it with you!  The kit comes with almost everything you see, in two different colour schemes so it is sure to work with whatever photos you choose to use.  It has it's own stamp set too and is on sale right now, but only for a few more days - see my link on my sidebar to purchase!  Here we go:
It helps when you have such an adorable photo to work with!

We jazzed up the edges of our canvases with Inka Gold - a wonderful, shimmery wax-based paste you can apply with your fingers from Viva Décor.

I replaced the bling that comes in the kit with these cute little brads that I bought at Michaels. These pictures don't show the richness of the colours, but I am so happy with my piece - it's already on display in my classroom!
So, what are you waiting for? Get the kit at over 50% off and create your own little masterpiece!

Layout 13 2013 Challenge

Happy 4th of July to all my friends in the US!  I will be celebrating with you tonight because our Canada Day fireworks were postponed until tonight due to weather on the 1st. 

Convention excitement still reigns in my house though!! I have ordered product bundles, my new Idea Books should be here tomorrow, but until all that arrives, I have the goodies that I brought home with me from Orlando to play with.  However, I want to try to get caught up with my blog posting as well, so here's a quick layout I did of my niece and her daughter:

 
I used really, really old paper for this layout - I think it's been in my stash for about 8 years, just waiting for the perfect pictures!!! Isn't that crazy?  Now, I have adopted a policy to "just USE it!"  Those "perfect" photos sometimes never come and I have so much beautiful paper that I just can't leave sitting in my scraproom.
