I am a stay-at-home mom. I have been married to my handsome and wonderful husband for over 14 years. Right now he's battling stomach/esophagus cancer. So I do my best to craft when I can. I have two wonderful boys. My oldest, Garett, is 24 and served 5 years in the Navy. He's been home since the beginning of the year (2014). We are very proud of him. My youngest, "DJ", is 13 and in the 8th grade. I have two Border Collie mix dogs (Koda and Rugu), one Calico cat (Hydie), one orange Tabby cat (Bosley), one Tea Cup Chihuahua (Gigi...I LOVE her sooo much), a Chiweinnie (Lily....sweetest dog ever), and a Jack Russell/Chihuahua (Connor....AAALL boy).

MPC and ADORNit Coloring Book Hop

Hey Everyone.  Welcome back to another awesome blog hop featuring another fantastic product from ADORNit.  Their coloring books.  These babies are full of delightful images using heavy artist paper that's great for watercoloring, colored pencils, markers, acrylics, you name it.

The books I'll be coloring out of are



For my first project I used a piece of art from my This 'n That Book by Lindsay Ostrom.  As soon as I saw it, I knew in an instant I would be coloring it for my first "whatever" project.





I watercolored the whole image and then painted the outer edges with gold acrylic paint.  I mod podged the image onto a plaque I had and waited for it to dry.  Then I aded some detail to it like the pearl drops.  I added eye screws and wire for the hanger and voila!!....a cute home decor item.

My next item is from the Christmas coloring book also by artist Lindsay Ostrom.  I made a quick and easy Christmas plaque using heavy chipboard/mat board.  I added some Stickles and Tinsel glitter for sparkle and flower pearls that looked like snowflakes for some pop. The swirls were painted using Yasutomo Shimmer/Pearlescent Watercolor Paints.  I punched holes and added eyelets to add some MayArts twine to use as a decorative hanger.




Now, I had two other cards, but my dog knocked them down into their water so I have to quickly make two more projects.  But those are the two I have so far.  Please come back and check for my others.

**Newly added project:  Here is my newest project I just finished.  Chip Sample Christmas Ornament!
 For this I simply Mod Podged the art onto the chip sample (You can get these for FREE at Home Depot in the kitchen counters section).  In this case, I had to punch a hole through so I added an eyelet and strung some MayArts twine through and added a couple of beads.  The Stickles still sparkles through the Mod Podge.
 Isn't that the sweetest face ever??????

I have one more project coming....

AND here it is...FINALLY....

This is from the Christmas Coloring Book.  I painted it using the Yasutomo Pearl Paints.  Then embellished the snowflakes and dots with pearl drops and Stickles.  As well as a die cut layered snowflake and a cute charm. This one was fun to do because it was "coooold" lol.
