I know I know.. couple days comin' right? 

Well last night I took the night off! And I almost missed this morning's sneak peek because we just made the biggest most gorgeous double batch of green chili ever! 

But .. onto the sneak peek!

A pile of distressed tags.. I will offer them two ways.. option A) with the halloweenie goodness of a cockroach, a poison label, an all hallow's even image, and a radioactive symbol :) or option B) tags with no images! use them to your whim ♥

Introducing... Midnight Spell ♥

I'm very excited about this kit! It's a little Halloween, a little fall, a little dark, a little bright ♥

Mossy Glen Sneak Peek #3

I think I missed a sneak peek day in there ;)

Also.. I keep taking photos at night and it's not helping this kit any!

rest assured.. it's the best one yet :D

Resin in use!

I posted this baby on the AMP blog today. 

I posted a quick tutorial over on the AMP blog. They're having a design team call and if you love working with putties, molds and resin you really should apply! This is the best product out there. Hands down. Affordable, and works like a gem.

Mossy Glen Sneak Peek #2!!

I'm a huge double dot fan :) 

Inspiration : Mossy Glen

Each month I like the kit club more and more...

Thinks trees, clouds, browns, greens, hints of yellow, blue and white :) 

Oh Mossy Glen.... you had me at M!! ♥♥

I made the collage but not all the photos did I take

Altered Spoon Blog Hop!!

I was so super honored to be asked specifically by Susan to help her celebrate her blog-versary... I chose to go nautical with my spoon.

First I started off by aging the spoon with a solution of vinegar and steal wool. Put the steal wool in a jar of vinegar and allow it 24 hours to "cure". Then brush the vinegar mixture over your spoon.

To finish off the spoon I used UmWowStudio's August handmade embellishment kit "Beach Combing" as well as the add on kit All Resin All The Time. Other products include a netting ribbon by May Arts to simulate a fishing net, cheese cloth, Tattered Angels glimmer glaze in Waterfall and Coconut Shell, Helmar's quick dry adhesive, and collected shells from the beach!

In this last photo you can really see the dimension and beauty that the spoon has.

For a quick tutorial on altering the resin piece visit the Amazing Mold Putty blog. :)

Presenting the artistes de spoon...

Using the August Kit!

Tomorrow I'll be joining in a SPOON ALTERING blog hop to celebrate a super close friend's Blog-versary:

so stay tuned to see how I used this month's kit and add on to alter my spoon!!!

Beach Combing REVEAL!!!

 Alright alright.. here it is. Beach Combing!!

Here is the main kit:

It includes:

1 6 inch weathered wood fence

1 hanging beach sign

2 weathered wood clothespins

3 distressed patterned paper clothespins

3 patterned paper flags

1 bundle of driftwood

1 ragged muslin flower with box pleat and pearl center

1 vintage lace flower with pearl center

12 inches of rustic baker's twine

1 message in a bottle

3 weed silhouettes in cream cardstock.. mist 'em, use 'em as a mask, ink 'em... do what you will!

and a scatter of authentic shells.

 I've decided to introduce an add on kit! Each month's kit will consist of theme appropriate resin pieces. This month's includes an anchor, two pelicans and some harbor dock poles.. complete with rope and a netting throw. Each add on kit will be completely voluntary, will be $10 and will have free shipping as it'll just go in the same box as your regular kit. :) - If you love the add on kit.. buy it! It is worth way more than the $10 you get it for :) it'll go in my etsy for closer to $15

Here are you buy now buttons.. the first one is for US Shipping for the main kit, the 2nd is Canadian shipping, the 3rd is international shipping and the 4th is the add on.

CHA Bound Sneak Peek! and a July Kit Project

Being on Design Teams really presents you with some wonderful opportunities.. and in this case it was way out of left field.. 

WOW embossing powder needed some booth fillers, and they asked the Basically Bare DT to help them out :) 

So here is a sneak peek of a piece that will be in the WOW booth - and yes... that IS part of the UmWowStudio July Kit :) -- though I doubt that will be mentioned at CHA ... lol.
