Merry Christmas everyone, today I have a fun vintage, shabby, styled Christmas Tree, using some beautiful laces as well as some "New" Beautiful Board pieces from Reneabouquets store. Hope you enjoy !
Starting with a styrofoam cone I cut pieces of the lace and attached it using hot glue and then crystal tip pins for some pretty bling. All the products used will be listed below. To watch how I adhered the laces I have a video also below for your viewing pleasure.
One of the "New" printed beautiful board pieces is this "Sisters" and I added some Diamond Glass Glitter to their dresses and sat them under the tree.
Another "New" piece is this Beautiful Board Snowflake Doily (set of 3). I used the small for the tree topper and added the Wedding Pearl and Rhinestone Button to the middle. The medium snowflake was cut apart and adhered to the middle portion of the tree (you can view this better in the video) and the large snowflake was used as the base of the tree. All were blinged up with the Diamond Glass Glitter.
I hope you enjoyed this project and now grab yourself some Hot Cocoa and sit back and enjoy my creative process..... hugs
Hi everyone, it's time for a wintery layout featuring several 'NEW" products from the Reneabouquets Store. Here we go .....
If you haven't been to the RB store lately you are missing out. There are so many beautiful pieces to use in your holiday projects. I wanted to feature this gorgeous and fun to make Snowglobe Shaker Box. Plump full of pretty RB shaker bits. I just added some snow to the top and sprinkled a bit of the Diamond Glass Glitter. I stamped the word "wish" on the front and tinted it with Lindy's magicals.
Here is a close up, and isn't the Printed Beautiful Board "Diane's Snowman" adorable. I also just added a bit of the snow to the hat and the base of the snowman.
The store also has many new mulberry collections, including these pretty Timeless Blue and Navy Blue roses. Accompanied by the Burgundy Poinsettias for a pop of contrasting color. And Frosty Kisses Premium Paper Butterfly matches perfectly !
So grab yourself some hot cocoa and visit the RB store to get some products that will provide that magical touch for this Christmas season.... hugs
Hi everyone, and happy Monday ! Today I have a new project filled with Reneabouquets goodies and I'm so excited to share it with you.
Reneabouquets has such a gorgeous selection of beautiful board, flowers, laces and trinkets, not to mention her handmade butterflies, that can take your mini album over to the next level. Sometimes I really have a difficult time not adding too much, because everything is so pretty to work with.
On the front I added some gorgeous lace from the store and embellished it with several different handmade mulberry flowers and RB Salted Caramel butterfly. All the beautiful board used was embossed with Brass embossing powder. And what about that brooch...isn't it gorgeous.
The handle on the top of the album is actually a door handle which I whitewashed it and then lightly embossed it also with the brass EP.
To open, you lift the top and the sides come down (almost like an explosion box). And inside I have waterfalls, accordion pages, as well as tags, and hidden pockets. You can actually see all of this more in detail in the video below where I will take to page by page and share details of the album.
Here are a couple pages of the album featuring on the right, a waterfall section and on the left and accordion fold out tiny mini album.
This is another photo of a couple pages just to show you how pretty also is Reneabouquets chunky glitter glass that she carries, also in several beautiful colors. Oh and did I mention trinkets??? The charm I created on the left has some of the beautiful board dangling as well as a Fairy Princess Crown and on the left I have the Queen Bee Clock Charm. And this month Reneabouquets is offering a coupon for trinkets in the store.

Hi everyone, hope you are having a spectacular month! Today I have a mixed media layout I created using several pretty pieces from Reneabouquets store. Let's get started !
I love dimension in my layouts so for the foundation I took some cardstock and ran it through a Sizzix embossing folder "wood grain" and also inked the embossing folder to give the texture an old wood appeal. Then I cut the cardstock in strips and distressed the edges. To create dimension, every other strip of cardstock I applied cardboard to the back and that raised up those strips on my layout. This provided a "shiplap" look. The photo used really provided my color palette for the layout, so I kept it pretty neutral with pops of red and black shades provided by Reneabouquets pretty mulberry flowers. All supplies are listed below.
I did use several beautiful board pieces from Reneabouquets and they are gorgeous in their natural state, but I gave each one a little different mixed media touch. The bottom corner is the NEW Wrought Iron Panel.... gorgeous !!!!! I sponged on some green and brown paints and allowed to dry then went over it with Deco Art Crackle Varnish. For the Fancy Fall Tuckins I gave a coat of the crackle varnish and then added a bit of bronze shimmer wax here and there.
The Clockwork gears I painted with black gesso, then crackle varnish and topped also with bronze shimmer wax. The Feather Set I embossed with bronze EP. Then to finish off the layout I included one of Reneabouquets handmade Delicate Beauty Glitter Glass Butterflies. I hope you will give your layouts a sense of dimension by trying out this simple technique... Wishing you a week plump full of goodness and "lazy daze"... hugs

Hi everyone.... happy 1st day of Fall to everyone in the U.S. Today I have a layout for you featuring some pretty RB Beautiful Board and other products from the store. This month we are celebrating Reneabouquets Beautiful Board 2nd Birthday and at the end of this post I will share a wonderful coupon you can take advantage of this month... But first, here is some photos of my project.
I have had this 8x10 shadow box frame for quite some time and decided I wanted to put it to good use. I removed the glass on the frame and decorated it with beautiful lace from Reneabouquets store. I couldn't think of a more fitting frame than this Beautiful Board Medium Tree Frame to go with this photo.
And the Tiny Treasure Innocence Butterflies couldn't have coordinated with the layout better. Reneabouquets has so many different options not just with the Beautiful Board, but all the different styles and colors of butterflies as well as flowers and also laces that go perfectly with any project you are working on.

Hi everyone, I'm up on the blog today with a fun swap project. This month at Reneabouquets we had an embellishment book box. We were to create a box that looked like a book and fill it with pretty embellishments for our swap partner. Here is what I came up with.
The box on the right is the "Embellishment Book Box" and the other one is just a box I made to fill up with more creative goodies for my partner.
The front of the book box was decorated with many Reneabouquets items from the store which will be listed below.
And for your pleasure I have provided a video tutorial below. This book box is very easy to create and another fun way to send off happy mail to your crafty friends. I hope you would consider getting involved in our swaps we have monthly. It is a wonderful way to meet new crafty friends !
Happy Thursday everyone, and this month we are celebrating Reneabouquets Beautiful Board 2nd birthday. If you have never seen beautiful board then you are really missing out. Let me give you a quick little history of it.
Beautiful Board, or B Board for short, was created with both Artists and their environment in mind. Each design was drawn from scratch with details that true artists crave in their products. B Board is manufactured in house, using 100% virgin pulp that gives it over twice as many fibers as regular chipboard for amazing durability, and because it is virgin pulp, not recycled pulp there are no chemicals, or additives that the artist or their environment can be exposed to. All Beautiful Board Designs are a Reneabouquets Original Design which means: The product is designed, drawn and brought to life by Renea Harrison. Original art work, not someone else's clipart. Nor will it ever be, a product created in another country that Renea puts her name on and then pretends that it is hers like some large companies do.
For my canvas I decided I wanted to create using BB brand "NEW" Beautiful Box Mini Round Shadow Box Laser Cut Chipboard.
These sweet shadow boxes are the perfect way to create a little diorama or scene type project. Assembly is so very easy and the ideas that went through my head while playing with these is endless. I can already see many of this boxes hanging on my Christmas tree this holiday season.
And well, what can I say about the gorgeous Beautiful Board Large Stackable Honey Bee Pattern. I added some of Reneabouquets microbeads to the bees for pretty texture and bling (of course). Creating with Beautiful Board brings your creativity to another level and is so much fun to create with. But the store also is filled with laces, flowers, & glitters, so many beautiful items that Renea herself has lovingly chose to provide for your project needs.
In honor of BB's 2nd Birthday I am offering this canvas as well as a box of other fun goodies for a GIVEAWAY ! You actually have two ways you can win. Either go to Reneabouquets Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/ArtistsWithAnEdge/ and locate the post regarding this canvas and Share the post with your friends and leave us a comment telling us what your favorite BB product is. .... or you can go to my Youtube channel here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4cVzgBg0nA&t=559s and leave a comment and subscribe to my channel and I will be drawing someone's name on 9/15. U.S.A. residents only please. I hope you were inspired and here's wishing you a very happy week..... hugs
Hi everyone, and welcome to my creative blog. Today I have for you a project I created for my swap partner Sherrie. This month Reneabouquets hosted a swap for an altered embroidery hoop. For this month also Reneabouquets and Crafty City have been collaborating together to provide you some amazing papers and Treasure Boxes filled with creative products.
The name of the collaborations is "Paradise In August" and so with that theme in mind I decided I was going to go with a pretty shabby chic Paradise themed dream catcher.
I have been working out of Treasure Box #2 all month, and have actually made 5 projects with this box.
Below I have also prepared a video tutorial so you can watch my creative process.
There is still time to grab yourself one of the treasure boxes available. There is a photo below of Treasure Box #2 (which is the one I designed out of ) and a list also of what the kit includes. All highlighted items are what I actually used in this box for this project.

Hi everyone, and welcome to my blog. This month Reneabouquets is partnering up with Crafty City to bring you two different Treasure Boxes filled with yummy goodies. The collaboration is called "Paradise In August". I will be working out of Treasure Box #2 for my project.
I wanted to have fun with a circle layout today, so here we go... hope you are inspired !
There are a couple things I really like to do when creating layouts. One is layering and the other is textures... This project has 4 different layers. Starting off with the foundation which is 12x12 chipboard covered with the gorgeous Mintay paper collection "Paradise".
The next layer were several pieces fussy cut and applied to 3D foam pieces. Then the next layer was the 12"x12" doily background (not included in kit) for the main layout which was made dimensional by using pieces of cardboard. The beautiful white shell lace used from the kit was sprayed a peachy color and then rolled in the middle which then provided dimension for the next layer which is Reneabouquets Beautiful Board Chunky Chain Links Frame Set. These simple steps give a new interesting look to your layout.
For the texture I embossed the Sea Shell Seahorse (included in the kit) as well as the Beautiful Board Sea Turtle (not included in this kit). I also added some Sand Chunky Glitter Glass for sparkle.
I hope you were inspired to grab one of these Treasure Boxes and join in on the fun with us this month. There is a photo below of Treasure Box #2 (which is the one I designed out of ) and a list also of what the kit includes. All highlighted items are what I actually used in this box for this project.

Hi everyone, I'm up on the blog today to share with you my latest DT project for Art Anthology.
I purchased a clip board from the dollar store and transformed it into a picture frame of my daughter and niece about 25 years ago.
Using some natural elements like twigs, driftwood, seashells, moss and adding some paper clay beach elements as well as fishnet & assorted flowers, I was able to capture alot of pretty texture to create with.
Art Anthology supplies really allowed this frame to pop with color. I used Colorations Sprays, Minx Shimmering Ink, Sorbets, Stone Effects & Metal Effect. I will list the supplies and their websites below.
For your pleasure I have also included a video tutorial below so you can view my creative process... Wishing you a week filled with peace... hugs
Welcome to the "Paradise In August" Collaboration with Reneabouquets & Crafty City. This month Reneabouquets is partnering up with Crafty City to bring you two different Treasure Boxes filled with yummy goodies. I will be working out of Treasure Box #2 for my project.
My daughter will be soon taking a fantastic vacation to Croatia where she's going to spend lots of time on the beach, so I thought this is the perfect time to use my Treasure Box filled with goodies to create an explosion box to hold her photos.
The box closes up with a lid and then when you remove the lid it drops down into a fun interactive photo album.
I had so much fun fussy cutting the Mintay "Paradise" paper collection. The colors are so soft and gentle but really allows for pretty seaside themed projects. Reneabouquets store has so many fabulous items that fit right in with the beach theme as well.
Reneabouquets Sand Chunky Glitter Glass was perfect when sprinkled on wet texture paste around the 3D center. I hope you were inspired to grab one of these Treasure Boxes and join in on the fun with us this month.
There is a photo below of Treasure Box #2 (which is the one I designed out of ) and a list also of what the kit includes. All highlighted items are what I actually used in this box for this project.
