Just a Little Whimsy…

 

DSC00684_edited-1

Hello, dear friends!

Just a few things to share with you today…first of all…take a look at this beautiful early morning sunrise…

 DSC00664_edited-1

…what a wonderful way to start the day!

I’ve been working on some projects for Crafty Secrets’ new releases coming up…here’s a little peak--

Aren’t those wonderful?!  Beautiful, whimsical flowers, The Wizard of Oz, and Alice and Wonderland—fun, huh?

Here’s what I’ve got so far:

How about some ruby slippers?  “It’s all about the shoes”, it says…

…not much to tell you about this one.  I wanted to keep it simple…just focusing on the shoes.  Glossed them up with some glassy glaze and added just a bit of fine iridescent glitter…

Next:

Tea with Alice!

A fun little collage wall hanging—I wanted it to represent a window into Wonderland…

All the elements here are from the soon-to-be-released Alice in Wonderland Creative Scraps—love them!

And the pretty frame and “TEA” are stamps from the new coordinating stamp set.

The White Rabbit…

A pretty teacup and the “Drink Me” bottle, both sitting on a pretty lace doily…

And I had to add some red roses, of course!  Lovely, VERY shabby red velvet rosettes…

And a framing of topsy-turvy teacups from the stamp set.  I’m not a big colorer (is that a word?!), but I wanted to use them here to show that stamps make a wonderful background, too—no coloring necessary!

I’ll have more new product to show you soon—so much still to come!

Life’s so much more fun when you add a little whimsy, isn’t it?!

Have fun today, my friends!

Julie

    I can tell you're having fun with your projects. Such a beautiful sunrise! Today in the northeast it is snow, then sleet and now ice. Terrible weather!

    Julie,
    It's all about how you put them together. I never ceased to be amazed. I am really in the mood to make things with paper and I am getting things all together (which means ordered!) to have a February at play! I love Crafty Secrets and can't wait to see the CD's! I will be stopping by a lot!
    Hugs,
    Suz

    Oh Julie, I do love everything you create. How funny that you and I have been working with Alice at the same time! Great minds and all that! Love the shabby roses! I have bought myself a doll's house to build and fill! It's only a small one, but just perfect for two pretty little hedgehogs I think! I send love and hugs on this cold and frosty January morning! xxoo

    Hi Julie, that sunrise and those puffy clouds look like what we saw last week. Today has been cloudy with a bit of drizzle.

    You are always making so many wonderful things over there. So many paper supplies to choose from. Fun!

    Hope you are having a great day. Tammy
