All's Rosey in Nashville

Today's post features the final product of Amanda's bouquet (roses and all) along with the start of a new Nashville piece.  After the intricate detail of those darn roses I needed a change of pace!


Guess what I'll be working on during tomorrow's episode of Nashville!?  Who am I kidding...  Wednesdays at 9 cst are sacred TV time!

January Hydrangeas

Nothing like a cold winters day to reminisce about a beautiful summer wedding!  Today was my first attempt at florals in paper and, as you can see, this bouquet is still a work in progress... it needs the roses!  

The final product is for my lovely, amazing, brilliant, caring, and all around awesome friend Amanda!  

Bouquets in paper can be a great way not only to remember an aspect of the wedding day, but also are a perfect way to celebrate the first year (paper) anniversary!

Just wasn't right

Of all things to make while checking Compass Bowl score updates (go dores!).  Hope I don't lose friends over this :)

These will eventually be two sets of 5 with love from Nashville cards.

Color Coded- Art Room Organization

Today's post captures the excitement I have for something somewhat boring... organization.  The art room is always in a state of change, but recently I found myself spending more time looking for materials than making work.  So I capitalized on Michaels storage sale and snagged a new paper organizer (half off!).  Now every paper is sorted by color!  

More time to make!

The letter C brought to you by carmmarie

A sketch for the ready made C in the alphabet line.
All letters can, of course, be customized for a particular little one based on their interests, age, room color, etc.

Happy 2014!

As 2014 gets underway, I am so excited to start sharing my recent artwork!  It's been a long time coming, but better late than never, right?

I think this piece that I cut yesterday is a great reminder going into the new year.  The quote is by Nelson Mandela and in many ways sums up how I'd like to approach this year... a resolution perhaps!?

May your 2014 be filled with bright moment and may it be the best year yet!

Thanks for stopping by!
