Playing with Canvas

Ok folks.....confession time!!!! I AM NOT A PAINTER!!!! there I said it and I feel better now that the air is clear.  Why did I say that you ask???? Because I have always shyed away from playing with canvas because I always thought they were for painters. 
Well, last night decided to take the plunge and break out of the zone.  You know ......you've been there.......THE COMFORT ZONE.  I thoroughly enjoyed putting ink to the canvas and moving it around with mod podge.
Using Stampin Up Inks and a small piece of sponge I worked the ink around the canvas that had already been mod podged.  The second one (antiqued) I sponged old Olive, Summer star burst, and pumpkin Pie onto the canvas and then used the mod podge on a sponge to move the color around until I came up with this aged look.
These canvases were super fun and easy to do......I plan on making more of these for Christmas gifts, some will have ribbon to hang with and some will be on a display stand.
Until then......Happy Stamping  xoxoxo Stephanie

Been Wayyyyyyy Under the Weather......

So for those of you who follow my blog or check in regularly I guess you have noticed that I have not posted in a while.   I am soooooo hoping to get back to the routine however I have recently encountered some health issues that have significantly changed my daily routine. I am finding that I am having to stop and rest more often than be up and going or I am in severe pain body wide.  I am hoping that my doctor is going to be able to get to the bottom of this when I have my appointment coming up.   In the meantime I am posting the latest campaign that Stampin Up is running for you to take advantage of......
We have also added several new items to the clearance rack.....check them out as well.  Thank you for the kind thoughts and well wishes.... I certainly hope to get back on my regular schedule soon!!!
Thanks for stopping by....happy stamping !!!!!!
