Jillibean Soup | Art from the Heart...

Hello Friends! This was one of my favourite projects created for Jillibean Soup last month.  It is a simple display board where I can clip my youngest son's endless supply of hand drawn/painted/made artwork! *grin*

The process is simple.  If you know my style by now, you know I don't like to over complicate things! All you need to create this board for yourself is the burlap frame (found over at Jillibean Soup), a bulldog clip, Happy Hues paint and a soft brush. I am using Amiable Aqua paint from the Jillibean Soup Happy Hues collection. Don't forget to have a hot glue gun handy too!

Firstly I started by sourcing the top middle of my burlap pin board. Once I found the correct spot, I hot glued my bulldog clip into place.

Next I removed any stickers and poured the paint directly onto the frame.  Using the soft brush, I followed the grain of the frame to paint the top only.  Feel free to paint your frame entirely.  I liked having the inside and outside edges raw.

After the paint dries, add a wire word to the top of your frame and using Jillibean Soup beanboard alphas, create the phrase "Art from the Heart" along the bottom.



See.  Easy Peasy.  Now all you have to do is hang the frame and add some homemade artwork. Or it could even work for school certificates, notes or a place to jot down reminders!  I love how versatile this project can be!

Thanks for joining me here today.  Don't forget to head on over to the Jillibean Soup blog to check out some other fabulous projects..x

Okay... so I don't do Off The Page projects very often, but I must say, this cuckoo clock from Kaisercraft, surprised me. It can together very quickly with the Candy Lane patterned papers and Tahlia just loves it!!! You can see more of my reasons for creating it over here....

{Time for Tea}

The little butterflies were inspired by Samatha Hauzer and her little tutorial. I'm sure she won't mind me borrowing (Hee!) as she was a Kaisercraft DT member from last year!! Thanks Sam!

I've been busy playing and sewing in the last week. I've been wanting to create a mini-book since.... FOREVER! And I have finally knuckled down to give it a go! LOL! So be kind! hee hee...

My subject was naturally "US"...!

{Us}

Of course being ever ambitious..! LOL!! I decided I would make this mini-book out of calico.

Pages 2 and 3...
4 and 5...

6 and 7...Just a simple little book, but I used heaps of techniques such as stamping, stitching and glimmer misting! And a few current favourites as well, such as the banner.

This was quite liberating in a way. Using up some more of my stash and getting to create something fun too! I'm going to journal our current favourite things in the spaces I've left available. Thanks for looking..xx
