Welcome!

This is my place to share my creative bits and pieces. My art has no rules, no limits and absolutely no order. My projects change with my moods but for the last few years, my main focus has been paper art. Cards, collage, mixed media and as many techniques as I can get to. My inspiration comes from everywhere.

I hope you enjoy your visit.

SILHOUETTE DECOR

Hi everyone!
I had a fabulous day recently...spent the entire morning in my pj's, with my Silhouette Cameo machine. I have a few projects to share with you.
DH and I both have these thermal go-cups. He bought them from Tim Horton's and we love them- they keep the coffee hot a long time. I like my coffee black, he doesn't, and too often we'd mix up our cups.
Not any more! I blinged mine up with some gold sparkle vinyl from Dollarama, and this perfect cutting file by Quietfire Design at Silhouette Store. I'll have to hand wash my cup now but it's worth it. The 'vinyl' is more like self-adhesive cellophane.

On a roll, I went for my phone........
 I don't expect these designs to last forever but I like to change things up, so it's not an issue.

Then........
my lovely Cameo got a tiny bit of whimsy with this butterfly- you guessed it- Quietfire Design.  :)
Blue vinyl from Dollarama.

This is the last design of the day.
Can you guess where this is?



Everyone should have one, don't you think?  :)

I just love this!

I want to give credit and kudos here..
She shared her genius idea of using the cutting mat to transfer the cut designs to the cup, phone, etc.

I hope you liked having a peek at the results of  my morning playtime with my Cameo.
Thanks for stopping by- I appreciate it!

BONDING WITH MY SILHOUETTE CAMEO

Hi! It was play day today, and I put my cameo through it's paces. I've been wanting to cut some Quietfire Design files for awhile now. The butterflies are so pretty! I just laid out the different colours of cardstock onto the cutting mat, and ran it through in one cut.So easy!

Then, I went to work on this card......
Again, I could lay out the different papers, but this time I had to set the designer paper to no-cut, and cut the card stock pieces. Then I changed the settings and cut the designer paper. I sponged some ink behind the leaf cuts so they would how up better, and sponged copper paint onto the 'always'.

This is just one of the great card designs created by Quietfire Design. I'm sure they'll be showing up here soon.

Then, I cut some stencils.

Freebie from Silhouette America.

Bird's Cards  a very generous designer.

These stencils are cut from dollar store page dividers. They come 8 to a pack, for $1.25. They cut perfectly, and I'll be using them a lot.

Then, I decided to try cutting the adhesive backed vinyl I bought from Dollarama.
I'll have to check the designer for this one.

What an awesome day in the workroom.
Thanks for looking, and have a fantastic day!
