granchildren canvas

This was for my mum & dad for Christmas. Mum wanted somewhere to put recent photos of her grandchildren (currently 6 of them but who knows....-no I'm definitely not having more!). I painted the canvas the same colour as her walls - napa - and attached the ribbon with brads. The clips serve the purpose for photos to be added and changed at will - It had to be 'modern' enough to go on mums walls - best thing is she must have liked it cause it was up on her wall that day. Posted by Picasa

What a neat idea, Lara - I love this. Think I will make Darryn's Dad one sometime soon - then when we post photos to him he'll have somewhere to clip them! Love it!

Lara, that is so cool. I love that the recipient can easily change the photos. I think I will scraplift that idea and use wooden pegs ('cause I bought a pack of about 200(!!) to make blackboards - see pics on Mel's and Delys' blogs - sorry I don't know how to do links in comments! - for details - Christmas presents and 200 wooden pegs will go a l-o-n-g way!)

Hiya Lara, just catching up with everyone's blogs - glad your canvas's went down a treat. I too did a few for pressies and it didn't take long before the requests were coming thick and fast.

New Grad

This month I used the 'Sunshine Vibes' bundle to create this layout for the Stampin' Up Artisan Design Team. Using die cuts to create stencils is a favourite way to create backgrounds for my scrapbook layouts. This bundle allowed me to do this and then to back some of the die cuts with in colour DSP.  Puffy hearts and fussy cut flowers add dimension. If you live in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator already and want the supplies I have used, please visit: https://laramoss.stampinup.net and head to the shop to look for: Sunshine Vibes Bundle Mini Alphabet Dies Florals in Bloom DSP

Over on Instagram, the current team is running a hop where we are all documenting in some way, what it has meant to be an Artisan. Look up @scrappykea to check out the links to the rest of the teams projects. You can see my project coming together and hear me talk a bit about the Artisan Journey in this video : If you live in New Zealand and want some of the creative supplies I have used in this project, please head to:  https://laramoss.stampinup.net/   Supplies used in this project: Two-Toned Cardstock: Secret Sea, Cloud Cover, Darling Duckling, Summer Splash, Timid Tiger Designer Series Paper: Turtle-y C...
