Chromatic Craze #1

Hello Bloggy Friends! I am so excited to announce that I am on a new Design Team! There is a brand spankin' new challenge blog, called Chromatic Craze,and I am thrilled to be a part of it. Started by my good friend Laura, this new challenge blog is going to feature one color challenge per month. It's one of my favorite kinds of challenges! Full details are on the Chromatic Craze Blog. Here is the first challenge's color palette.

I looooooove these colors! Teal and purple are my favorite colors. So I was super happy to see that this was our first set of colors. I decided to make a reversible necklace.

I found some beautiful wood pieces in the clearance section at Michaels, and I have been itching to use them. I also found some amazing yarn from Martha Stewart (also clearance; but at JoAnns). I don't knit or crochet, but I knew I wanted to use it for jewelry.

This is the reverse. I love to make jewelry that can be worn in more than one way. I painted the medallion with acrylic paint, and gave it a glossy finish. I added a teeny star, just for some extra movement. How beautiful is that yarn?

Here's me! I wanted you to see how big the pendant, and how thick the yarn is. Love the size! So....do you want to play along? I'm sure you do! Visit the new Chromatic Craze Blog to see what the rest of the DT has made, plus learn all about the challenge. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Christmas in July with Imagine Crafts & Stencil Girl!

Hello! Have you heard? The Imagine AIRs have been hopping with Stencil Girl! If you have been here before, you know I loooove me some stencils, so this collaboration was very exciting for me! The teams are hopping for 3 consecutive Saturdays, and this is week 2. I have the entire list of hop links at the bottom of the post. Be sure you don't miss anyone! I decided to to create an extra large gift tag with my new stencils. Using red cardstock, I taped down the Journal Texture #8 Stencil  and inked it up with Golden Glitz Delicata ink . I promise you, this is the BEST gold ink you will ever use! The Journal stamp only has 2 diamonds on it (it's a 4x4" stencil), so after I inked up the first pair, I moved over the stencil, lined it up, and inked again. Next I wanted to do something textural with the Urban Insiders Star . So I took some evergreen cardstock, taped down the star, and slathered on some yummy Iridescent Green Creative Medium . After the medium dried, I ga

Remembering Aletha

Greetings, Friends. This post today is part of a very special blog hop. We are celebrating the life of an amazingly talented artist and friend. The crafting community lost Aletha Jane Williams on May 5, 2019. Those of us that worked with her on Design Teams or on Challenge Blogs all agree that she was one of the sweetest and most talented women we knew. We are not here to mourn her loss though. This hop is happening in conjunction with a very special celebration of her life and her art that her husband Bob is holding in her home city of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Please join us in honoring our incredibly creative friend Aletha . My card features the "Remembering Aletha" Sprite, which Mitzi (owner and artist of Aurora Wings ) created specifically for this hop. She is generously giving the digi away to all, over on her blog. This sweet Sprite looks so much like Aletha, and I know she would have been honored. If you download this digi for yourself, please be sure to give a huge "
