Canvas Corp Brands and Stampers Anonymous Greeting Card

Welcome to my blog today. I wanted to share with you a card I made for my fall show coming up.
I used three wonderful companies actually Canvas Corp Brands, Stampers Anonymous and Fun stampers journey

I have been wanting to begin my fall show ..and today I began it. I was so excited to see it get started.
I am such a Stampers Anonymous fan and Tim Holtz Wendy Vecchi  etc...loving them the way I do I have been thinking about combining Canvas Corp Brands with many of my fun and wonderful stamps.
This stamp I purchased from Stampers Anonymous many many years ago but I still love it's magical whimsy fun nature of imagination...which is my fall theme.
Imagination.
I used Fun Stampers Journey card stock on this card and made banners using their dies. 
I used Canvas Corp Canvas to line the card and add such a fun accent to the card. Canvas is a beautiful accent..I sprayed it with Tattered Angels Glimmer mist "Marmalade" from Canvas Corp Brands..Beautiful color and it blended perfectly with the post card size stamped card I laid on top. The border stamp is from Dylusions and colored with Glimmer mist also..I used a paint brush. The compass and the ticket stamps were also used and a die "gears and cogs" was used on the right side of the card. The little creature was colored with Prisma pencils and a stencil Girl stencil was mused along with Tim Holtz dabbers and The Glimmer Mist from Tattered angels to fill in the middle of the piece.

Brads were used and a thin piece of red ribbon.
Little flowers from my stash were used...and the inside of the card is also lined with canvas and a Tim Holtz sentiment.
Well it is good to be flowing again....A BIT  slow today lol but by this afternoon I was moving in flow and it feels awesome.
Thanks for stopping in I so appreciate  you and your comments.
Hugs

Sentimental with Canvas Corp Brands

Welcome to my blog today.........................I am having a sentimental moment with Canvas Corp Brands....

Quite a few years ago I had some one give me a 7Gypsies journal.
The past few months as many of you know I have been cleaning up my folks property.
I have a long way to go but my health and the heat did not mix and I began getting serious kidney infections. Being border line type 2 diabetic and hypoglycemic that is scary so I had to shut things down for a while.
I found many wonderful things to add to the estate sell and many things had to be thrown away. Infact two double dumpsters and a extra wide and long flat bed stacked two levels high. Sadly all I got cleaned out was two small sheds.
In the process I found so many things I remembered mama writing on or my Grandmother had kept.  I was so touched by the photos I came across and many paper or journals they had documented on.
They both had clipped art from numerous places I am sure and I had my own clip art I could add to with this.
I began a shoe box and then one night I was tired and feeling kind of blue about it all..so i rummaged through my things and came across this never used 7 Gypsies Journal.I began looking through my own scraps of paper and my own images and I just love the warmth of the beautiful canvas from Canvas Corp Brands line of textiles canvas.In such a emotional state one night really missing my Grandmama and Mother I grabbed my scissors and cleared my card table art table and began to drift into the most pleasurable experience and memory dance I have had in my life.Canvas Corp Brands gave me a night to remember with beautiful tissue papers , canvas embellishments and papers. Tattered angels and so much more began to pile onto my table and I drifted farther away.
I actually made my post on a word press blog but I am having troubles with my sharing and I wanted to get this out there to say a big THANK YOU TO CANVAS CORP BRANDS 

I figure if I am going through this deep kind of thing in losing the family..others are also and please begin your journals.
This book is far from finished. It has not been embellished trimmed and many pages have not been finished.If you think a 7 Gypsies Journal isn't enough you will be so shocked as to what you can do with them. so here is a memory lane walk maybe just for me..so enjoy the art.
Hugs
Susan S
This is the cover. It comes in the specialty papers at Canvas Corp Brands
My Grand mother who would be 106  June 9 today if she were living. Beautiful tissue paper and canvas lifted this photo up from the page.
I had discovered my Mother loved winged things. many cards and clippings..as you will see...
I ordered a Alfred Hitchcock stamp...mama loved his movies..I will be adding black birds and Hitchcock on the blue side.
This will have small black and whites of my mom in school.

Well as you can tell I still have a on going project. I will be showing the finished book on your tube as a flip through...
Thanks again for stopping in...back to word press to figure out my socialization failure :)
