Today I wanted to share you a creative day of mixed media projects by my VERY talented design team members. This canvas project is created by Stacey Michaud. You can find her work at STACEY MICHAUD's blog.
She used blingage WINGS, and the new 12x12 Notations to create this. I love what she did with the Calendar paper, sheet music and die cut pieces.
Next, another inspiring project by Julie Jacob.

I am so inspired by these beautiful projects!!!!!
Today I am going on a field trip with my son to the Nature Center. I also help with the literature circles each week so Tuesday is my day with Ty. I love Tuesdays for this reason. Hopefully if it does not rain I will get to watch my son play two back to back baseball games tonight!!!!!
