This week I opened up the box that had my Fall decorations. I hadn’t added any new items in a few years, so they were looking a bit frazzled. I wanted to spruce them up and maybe add some new pieces. So out came the chalk paint! This year I wanted to incorporate my plants, especially my succulents. So I decided to showcase a couple of pumpkin planters.
In the last few years I have developed an obsession love with everything English, I think the term is Anglophile. I love watching old, black and white Sherlock Holmes movies, reading Agatha Christie books, collecting English china and linens, and of course drinking tea. It’s not tea time everyday, but most days it is and thanks to You Tube, I’ve learned how to make a proper cup of tea. So, you can bet that love is going to show up in my art…
It may be the middle of Winter, but I have some soft Spring colors on my mind with this Time For Love Art Journal Page. It’s wonderful layers of paper, paint, modeling paste, gesso and pen.
The Winnie the Pooh series of books has some of the most heart warming quotes you will ever find. A.A. Milne gave all these characters wisdom and love that has been shared with millions of children. One of my favorite quotes is Christopher Robin telling Winnie the Pooh how brave, strong and smart he is and that they would always be together.

Hello friends! This is Carmen with you again to share a quick Summer craft that you can create for a special picture. This also makes a wonderful gift for birthdays or graduations.
This is a bittersweet blog post for me. It is my last project for The Crafter’s Workshop Design Team. I can’t believe the year has flown by. I have met so many creative people and I’m so grateful to their corporate office for the support they’ve given me. I truly love these stencils and will continue using them.
The wonderful Spring weather is enticing my Hibiscus flowers to bloom and that has inspired me to create this tropical flowers art journal page. The 2016 The Crafter’s Workshop stencils have a wonderful variety of flowers and vines.
Easter is almost here! Are you getting some baskets ready for the kids? My two kiddies are grown, but I remember getting the baskets ready and then leaving them on the front door from the Easter Bunny.
Mardi Gras, also known as Fat Tuesday, is the last day of feasting before Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. The colors with Mardi Gras are a vibrant purple, green and gold. They symbolize justice, power and faith. I’ve created a Mardi Gras inspired canvas board to capture the colors and feel of Mardi Gras.
