Beth Wheeler's Earth Safe Finishes Painted Purse

I had a wonderful day yesterday catching up with designer friends
Beth Wheeler and Nancy Hoerner.

I was able to see Beth's Fabric Purse
she has on the Earth Safe Finishes Fabric Media Blog
and is pictured above.

I have to say that the picture does not do it
the justice it deserves,
in person you can see all of the shimmers in
the colors of the Earth Safe Finishes Shimmers.
The purse is so great that when people saw it
they suggested she go into the business of making purses
as they wanted one just like it.

If you have not seen it on Beth's Blog check it out
and find out how easy it is to do with
Earth Safe Finishes Shimmers

for a one of a kind purse of your own!

CHA, McGill Punches & When Creativity Knocks

While ate the CHA Summer Show I had the pleasure of working with McGill
who has a wonderful new line of Punches out.
These are a must see new product to check out for your studio.
My friend Ana Araujo of When Creativity Knocks knows what's hot
and was at the McGill booth taping a segment with Diana!

In the above picture Diana is showing Ana the one of the new punches.
You can easily punch out multiple shapes with these new punches.
Assemble the shapes to create 3D designs and customize your own embellishments.
Then use them to decorate cards, scrapbook pages, Artist Trading Cards (ATC's) and more...

The new punches come in the following designs: Snowman, Angel, Ice Creme Cone, Fleur-de-lis, Holly & Berries and Vintage Label. Some of these designs are pictured above.
Be sure to check your local stores for these new designs or shop online at www.mcgillinc.com.

Earth Safe Finishes Does it AGAIN!

EARTH SAFE FINISHES DOES IT AGAIN!

Tackifier is a new product that was created to eliminate having to use adhesive sprays to get a surface sticky. Whether it is to have stencils stick tightly to a surface, to get 2 pieces of paper or fabric to stick together or to repair an emergency hem job Tackifier does the job. Repositionable –works over and over to keep paint, Colorant and mediums from leaking under the stencil. Brush on a surface and metallic pigment powders or gold leaf will adhere. Iron and machine washable. This no VOC product is water based and cleans up easily.

This is a must have product for everyone to have to make creating easier!

It's been a busy time.......

The last few weeks have been so busy, getting things ready for my daughter's wedding &
preparing for CHA Summer Show.
Hard to believe I went to the CHA Summer Show July 27th,
returned home July 30th &
was ready for my daughter's wedding August 1st.

Pictured above is the Center Pieces we made for the wedding along
with my daughter Bridal Bouquet.
The main color for the wedding was the light turquoise,
I was not able to find flowers in that color......
so I mixed Earth Safe Finishes Colorant and water
to make a dye and turned white flowers into the color I needed.
The bouquets turned out great!
