paperHaus Spring 2013 Blog Hop!

Hi everyone!! Welcome to the paperHaus blog hop celebrating the release of the SPRING ISSUE!! :D :D

>>READ HERE<<

You won't believe how amazing this issue is, and I've said it a hundred times but I'm so honored to be a part of it!! Be sure to take the time to read it!! Also, don't forget to stop by and like PH on facebook.

You should be here via Shellye's blog.

Today I'm sharing an altered paintbrush with you! Every twoish months I host a swap for Viva Las VegaStamps! -- In January we opted for altered paintbrushes.. and they've been rolling into my office for two weeks.. they're ASTOUNDING! It's so much fun to trade art with other people :) 

Anyways.. here is the brush I finished to trade with some unsuspecting artist :) 

I don't know why, maybe it's the warming weather.. but when other people are thinking buds and greenery for spring.. I'm thinking THE OCEAN! Being able to play in the water, enjoy the sand, eat a hot dog at the beach! So I went full out for our Nature Inspired paint brush swap and altered this baby.

The base of the brush is gessoed and distress stained with broken china. I've then laid down some cheese cloth and shells. I covered the shells in Smooch and then finished them with gloss gel. While the gel was still wet I placed eBeads, seed beads and glitter all over. Finish off with a snail stamp from Viva Las VegaStamps! and a rope handle.

And I also have a giveaway!! I've just launched a brand new product line under UmWowStudio (keep an eye out for our website to be done soon!) -- laser cut chipboard pieces!! This giveaway includes a sampling of bits and pieces from different sets as well as a couple of my favorite stamps from VLVS!

A Layout + Tag for Paper Haus

I'm still so smitten over being asked to contribute to Paper Haus regularly..

.. coming up in March is the Spring 2013 issue!!

here are a couple of sneak peeks from projects being featured:

A Good Day for the Jar..

... My friend Susan told me about a "Good Day Jar" she saw on Pinterest. and I love it.. she said at the beginning of each year you get a new jar, and throughout the year you fill it with notes about good days.. then at the end of the year you read them all!

Well I'm throwing today into next year's jar...

This morning I sent some CHA samples to Globecraft&Piccolo hoping they'd like them enough to display! .. They chose all SIX! :D AND they invited me to demo in their booth! 

I also got a call from Carolyn @ Amazing Mold Putty -- and I'll be demoing in THAT booth as well!! 

My CHA Badge came...

AND... PAPERHAUS magazine contacted me today.. WITH A REQUEST TO BE AN ON STAFF CONTRIBUTOR FOR THE MAGAZINE.

UM. YES PLEASE.

What.A.DAY♥
