Updated Smash Page

I updated my Smash Book Challenge Entry. . and not a moment too soon! Today is the deadline for all entries for the January challenge! am participating in the Color Me Creative Classroom Smash Book Challenge. January's theme is New Years Resolutions, which was easy for me, as I've declared this to be "The Year of My Career!"



A little bit about it entry:

On the left page is a list of my career goals for 2012 & the right page is actually a dictionary page containing the definition for 'career' with various mixed media techniques. . I included watercolor, stamping, inking etc. It was so much fun to create. 

I hope you like it & I'd be interested to hear what you think.

New Master Bedroom

I'm a little late in posting this, but I wanted to share our master bedroom makeover. We were the crazy family who decided to make over our bedroom 2 weeks before Christmas. Needless to say, this didn't leave a lot of time & so I failed to get 'before' pics.

To give you an idea of our dramatic change, this was the same style & color scheme of bedding we had before:

Cute, huh? Not bad if your 16. It was definitely time for an upgrade! We wanted a happy medium between "More Adult" but still "Young and Fresh".  Here is what we came up with:

DIY Headbaord . . And When I say DIY, I mean Tim Did It Himself. My favorite part of our room (obviously!)

I love You Because Board. .

DIY (Tim again) re-finished dresser.

We found the hardware at Michael's in the Clearance sections for $2 a pop!

Accent Wall. .

Smash Book Challange

Here is a sneak peek of my 1st smash book challenge.. The theme is your 2012 Bucket List. It's also my first entered challenge (no big deal, right!?) :)  I'm excited to see where it leads and hear any insight on my work. It's also good practice for some of the mixed media pieces I have been working on.
