Just a Little Whimsy…

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

  6. 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

  9. 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
