Hi there! I'm so proud of April because she will be graduating from Arizona State University on May 10th then she is packing her bags and relocating to San Francisco to start her life with Jerry :)! Last weekend, we spent all day Sunday making 25 invitations for her graduation ceremony which involved a photo shoot in my backyard courtesy of Scott of course ;) 

I made a canvas for April / Jerry featuring one of the photos that were taken that day:

To create this canvas, I first applied a generous layer of Golden fiber paste which creates an awesome textured background to work with.

 Once dry, I applied MANY layers of various paints and inks.

 I finished it off with a few chipboard pieces that I coated with embossing enamel for a white shimmery look and adhered various blossoms and Prima trinkets.

I am honored and thrilled to share a few cards that I recently had published in the awesome Simply Cards & papercraft magazine which is full of a ton of inspiring projects from crafters around the world! I personally believe that getting published is like winning the paper crafting lottery :) The one below was featured in the Simply Cards & papercraft 106 issue:

and the two below were featured in the Simply Cards & papercraft 107 issue:

For color inspiration, I joined along with The Play Date Cafe which happens to be April's favorite color combo :)

Many thanks for visiting! I hope you have a great day / evening!
Be Sweet ;)
