Call the kids and wake up grandma. They'll want to see this.

Welcome Spring!

It's a fabulous sunny morning, perfect day to post this project from Creative University. The photo above could be better, it was the best I could do in a rush before Creative U. The individual photos should give you a better idea of the detail that went into each piece. I had a blast designing this project, and wanted to feature a different technique on each tile.

This tile is stamped with the letter S, then the letter is covered in liquid glass. A few pinches of pink beads, then irridescent glitter is dumped on to adhere to the remaining liquid glass. The results: a very chunky, sparkly letter!


The letter P uses the glitter n' tape technique. So simple! The butterfly is stamped onto acetate in pigment ink, then heat set. The antennae are jewelry making wire, which is easy enough to bend with your fingers into the curly ends.


Box pleats are much easier than they look. No measuring, just go for it!


I found this chunky pink glitter at JoAnne's. Doesn't it look like something you'd sprinkle on a cupcake? But it tastes terrible.


Love this primitive flower. If you've got cardstock or paper, you can make one. Cut a circle, distress with ink and scissors, crumple it up and stick it together. Easy peasy, lemon sqeezy!


I think this has to be my favorite. I adore this little bird, she's so sweet! I added a wing by stamping a swirl onto her body. A mini brad for her eye and a pile of jute for her nest, how darling is that?

Wow, I'm a Winner!

Thank you to every one of my viewers who have encouraged me throughout this entire contest. I won the "Most Views" contest and I also was honored to be chosen as one of the three winners for the "Best Video" by Close to My Heart. Two fabulous awards, I'm thrilled! The prizes are amazing, $500 in cash for the "Most Views" and $500 in products for the "Best Video". Woo Hoo! Thank you CTMH!

After Creative University

Highlights to come. But until then, Shhhhhh...... Tresa's tired.

Creative University Sneak Peak

Just a peek, okay? Can't tell you how much I love this project.





Just one of the fabulous projects that Creative University students will be creating. More pictures later, but for now... I'm just a tease!

Whatever Wednesday - I need a hug

Sweet Cupcake Video

Just a little more than a week until the end of the Close To My Heart video contest! If you haven't watched my entry, or you just want to see it again, scroll down or watch it HERE.

Here's my newest video, featuring the card I made in the contest video. The contest entries must be 3 minutes or less, so there wasn't time to show the entire process on the card. But I shot footage of it all, so it was just a matter of creating an intro and editing.

Leave a comment and tell me how sweet you think my kids are!
