My Crush Blog Hop


Welcome to the Close to My Heart 
My Crush Blog Hop





Close to My Heart is offering a sweet promotion this month.  Buy a My Crush Album and its assortment and get a stamp set for FREE!!



I am following {Michelle Stewart's Blog.}   We have over 30 Close to My Heart Consultants participating in our Close to My Heart Summer Crush Blog Hop.   If you lose your place while traveling through our blog hop, the complete list of participants can be found here.    Thank you for hopping through our Blog Hop.

Our challenge is to use any of the products featured in the My Crush promotion.  I decided to use the paper from two of the books and go way outside of my box.

I have been wanting to create a She Art type of girl.  I signed up for the class two years ago, watched it and said ,"Oh my!!"  I was very UNCOMFORTABLE, to say the least.  I started off by removing this heart paper from the Pink My Crush Album.




I Mod Podged it to a 8" x 10" canvas.  Then I started adding colors with paint, stamps, and modeling paste.  I even threw on some glitter for good measure.



Then I cut my girl out of the book print paper and the cute Lagoon diagonal print in the Pink My Crush Book.  Her capris and her top are cut from For Always Picture My Life Cards.



 This canvas is still a work in process.  That is one thing I love about this type of art.  If you don't love it, you just add more paint and start over again!

I promise you that the My Crush Albums have some of the cutest. high quality paper you can find.  Use it as an album or remove some of the papers for your artwork.  You will love it!  This promotion will be available through June 30, 2015 while supplies last.

  2. This is wonderful. I've been wanting to start some mixed media art journaling and have been thinking of using pages from the My Crush books. You've just inspired me to give it a try.

    1. I have been told to stop. This is not a color palette that I am used to so it is hard to feel like it is finished. LOL Thank you for the nice comment.
