This week Imaginisce releases the new Happy Harvest collection (make sure you check out the Imaginisce blog for giveaways!)...and here's a couple of projects I made with it...

This layout is for my Mom...it's her driveway in the fall.  So pretty!  

I used this sketch to make it.  I like the clean graphic style of it.

To create "Home" I just used my Silhouette Studio and the Biondi font and had my Silhouette cut it out of the same color of Bazzill cardstock I'm using for my background. Then I just adhered it right to my page.

I popped up my photo and the flag banner (Silhouette shape: "2 layer banner border") with foam adhesive and added some gold i-rock studs to the green die cut (Silhouette shape: "vintage flower stem") and up by the owl.

And then I made this card...

Those canvas stickers are so fun! I removed the sticker part by just picking at it until I just had the canvas...then I frayed the edges and sewed it to the front of the card.

I also embossed the orange patterned paper with my Cuttlebug "D'ving Swirl" folder and then used my favorite Powder Puff chalk ink to emphasise the swirls.

Reminder: Tomorrow I draw the winner of the Big Picture Classes class taught by Nic Howard...so go enter now!!

If you checked out the photos of my studio that were up on the Imaginisce blog, you may have noticed this canvas.  I've been meaning to share it with you...just haven't really had the time yet.

I love all the layers.  :)  The quote is actually a flocked iron-on...and it actually had more to it, but since I was ironing onto a painted canvas it didn't all work out.  -But that's ok...what's meant to be is meant to be!

Last Thursday night Pinterest had a L.A. meet-up at Urbanic Paper Botique in Venice.  Such a cute shop!!  Seriously.  A dangerous shop to go into if you're a paper or stationary addict!

Here's the first stop when we got there...a name tag table just outside the store.

And then inside we took some Instax pics and pinned them to a board just like on the Pinterest site.  :)

Out back there was some snacks and beverages....I had some of the ginger crisps in case you were wondering.  Yum!

There were pennat banners made out of baker's twine and magazine papers strung above our heads.

As I mentioned before, the store has some cute stuff!  Here's a bit of what's inside the store.

And lastly, thanks Maggie for hanging out with me!  I had so much fun getting to know you better.  :)
