More Art Play with Deflecto Craft and ADORNit

I have had so much fun with the Art Play Paintables paper from ADORNit! I am loving them so much!!! Really, I really love to color anyway, so these are right up my alley.

Here is another project I made this week using one of the larger images from the set.

I used the 8 1/2 x 11Cubicle Sign Holder from Deflecto Crafts for my frame. I used a combination of Tombow markers and PITT® Pastel Pencils from Faber-Castell to color it in.

When I went to mount my finished project onto paper and insert it into the frame, I noticed something pretty cool,,,

The paper that came in the frame made a pretty good background for my project- it was so pretty! So I mounted my project right on the included paper and put it right back in the frame :o) - upcycling at it's best, right?

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a fabulous week!!

We hope you enjoy the New Reveals as much as we do!  Last month the winner came from Anne's blog.  Wonder which Designer contains the Grand Prize winner this month?

Here is a look at my project this month!

I have used the Seasonal Trees #680 for my layout. I love how flexible this stamp set is!!  My papers are Graphic 45 from the new Home Sweet Home collection. 

 I stamped and heat embossed the image using Cappuccino EP and then colored the trunk with Tombow Markers. For the leaves, I layered two different colors of ink and then trimmed it out. 

I also used the Journal Mixed Media #606 for this layout - both on the chipboard above and on the cream cardstock behind my photos.  I used Moss EP to give the chipboard pieces some extra texture. The cute little bits on top of the chipboard are from Maya Road. 

I added a bit of stitching to the center of my layout for some visual interest. The Alpha stickers are from Carta Bella. 

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! I really appreciate it. I have had a lot going here at the house, we lost one of our kitties and our older black lab within two weeks of each other. I am hoping to get back my crafting mojo back pretty soon.
