**Happy Mother's Day**

Hi everyone! Leslie here....

It's Mother's Day weekend!

In honor of ALL Mom's out there...

I've posted a couple of projects to celebrate the day...

My first project is a teeny canvas (3.75x4.50) I found at
my local Hobby Lobby (Michael's or any craft store sells them)

I thought it was SO cute and wanted to make something with it...

so here you have it...my teeny canvas project:

For this canvas I simply did:

1. sanded the canvas a little then sprayed Glimmer Mist (in pink) and wiped off immediately

(I only wanted a tad bit of the pink in the background) then painted the edges in

silver & black.

2. I rubbed the Glitz rub-on (frames) and let it hang off the edge a little (later I cut

off the piece I didn't need)

3. In the open center of the frame I added a journaling sticker from the "Audrey"

line and framed its edges with Glitz frosting.

4. Next I added a sentiment sticker from "Audrey" and let it hang off the side a bit

5. I placed a photo corner sticker from "Hot Mama" to give it a little more flair.

6. I used a rub on from "Hot Mama" and made it 3D using a pop dot.

I hope you enjoy this project!

Here's a closeup:


I saw a cool inspiration piece on a website and decided to try the technique

myself!! (For more information about the technique - visit my blog)

It's called "Inchies"

Here's my Mother's Day "Inchies" project:

You can decorate any size canvas - in any way you desire.

I used ALL Glitz products on this canvas (which is sized: 6.75x8.75)

Here's what I did to make this canvas:

1. sanded the canvas

2. sprayed glimmer mist (I used bubble gum) & wiped it off, I just wanted

a touch of pink.....

3. painted the edges in silver first, then black (for the "grunge" effect)

4. punched 1 inch squares from Glitz's "Hot Mama" & "Audrey" papers

5. distressed each square's edge and painted silver

6. placed them spaced a tad bit apart and making a couple "3D" with pop dots.

7. I decorated a few squares with Glitz's Rub - Ons & stickers

8. I left off 2 squares towards the bottom - just enough room for my letters

and I added a rub on bird from the "Audrey" line. (I created my own crown for the bird using stickers and frosting from Glitz.)

That's it! Easy and fun....

and another.....

Happy Mother's Day!!

May your day be blessed!

My best friend and I took a little road trip to San Diego and went to a crop at a great store! We got a ton of layouts done, all the food we ate was magically calorie-less and we had a blast.

Ohhh! pick me! pick me! I had to move my scrap area & am amidst trying to put everything back together. After only a few hours sleep last night I'm still not done! UGH! should be seeing a light at the end of the tunnel soon and then I've promised my daughter (8 y/o)that we would work on her new scrapbook kit from her Easter basket. If I can squeeze in some "me" time & I don't collapse from my "all night shuffle" I'll be working on an altered window pane. Love those papers! totally GORGEOUS! Happy NSBD!!! : )
