Making Gifts For The Holidays

I have been spending my time cleaning house, reorganizing my studio, and making a list of holiday projects I want to start on. So, for this week's inspiration, I have posted this awesome video to inspire you!

Have you ever tried making your own soap? You can use your clear, unmounted stamps to create one of a kind gifts for family and friends. Looks pretty easy! I am going to give this a try!!!

Enjoy ;-)

My First Completed School Project!

As some of you may know, I started school this Fall, deciding to complete a degree in Multimedia Design. This is my first completed Fall poster project using Adobe Illustrator.

It is a bit outside of the box but I had so much fun creating this 11"x17" poster. A little bit of Halloween and Fall mixed in together...Hope you enjoy it ;-) I think it would make a great ATC card....tee hee.

Thanks for letting me share. I feel my creative juices coming back!!! I'll have some fun paper arts projects to share with you soon ;-)

Now I need to decorate for Halloween and bake a slew of cupcakes this weekend!!!

Hugs,

Maria

In Need of Some Creative Inspiration....

Wow!!! Has it been a whole month since I last posted ? I can't believe it!

I have to admit that I am in need of some creative inspiration these days. Life has thrown a few curve balls my way and I am in a bit of a creative slump. Know the feeling?

That is why we need each other's inspiration. When our creative cup is empty, there are so many wonderful folks out there to help prop you back up.

So today I thought I would highlight a gorgeous project made by my fellow Stamper's Quest Design Team member, Regina ;-)

Check out the entire project directions with step by step pictures at: Stamper's Quest

LOVE LOVE LOVE this idea! The background colors and leaves combined together really put me in a festive mood. This would be a great gift to make for family and friends. Everyone needs a place to hold pencils and pens on their desk. They will remember you every time when they reach for a pencil This technique would make a faboulous paper bag mini book......hmmmmmm.

Thank you again Regina... I am feeling better already ;-)

Wonderful project!

Hugs, Maria
