Here's a glimpse of me working on one of my latest design collections inspired by the beach. You can see more of my work and a recent interview on my art licensing and design business on the When Creativity Knocks Web site by clicking here.

A big note of thanks to Theresa Cifali for featuring me on the When Creativity Knocks Web site.  She's a fellow CHA designer who is an inspiration to us all.

Let It Snow in Paper Snowflakes!

I finally finished the bulletin board I set out to decorate a few weeks ago. The snowflakes put me in a snowy mood, so I thought I'd put a snowman in there too.

This is what Mr. Snowman looked like before I dressed him up. I used poster board for the snowman, and I used construction paper for the eyes, mouth, nose, and buttons.

Of course, Aleene's® Original Tacky Glue® was my glue of choice for this project.

The arms and scarf were also made using construction paper. Aleene's® Original Tacky Glue® does a great job keeping everything together.

To make the nest, I used a piece of light-tan construction paper to serve as the base. Then I used shards of brown construction paper to represent the twigs. The cardinal was glued to the back of the nest. Not bad for the first try!

Let it snow in paper snowflakes, of course!

On The Cover!

When the new issue of Totally-Creative Magazine was released, I was thrilled to see that both of my projects in the magazine made the cover. I'd like to thank editor Patti Ryan for choosing my projects for the family celebrations (volume 2 issue 4) cover. This is truly an honor. To learn more about this awesome publication, click here.

In keeping with the theme of family celebrations, I thought my paper mache adornments would make a great project for this issue. Perfect for weddings, anniversaries, or bridal showers, this project shows you how to make a wall adornment, which can also be used as a gift tag or ornament.

This jewelry ensemble is titled Wedded Bliss. It features pearls and Swarovski crystals from ArtBeads.com and pewter links by Talismann Associates.
