I am Desiree', most call me Dezz for short. I am a mom, wife. I have a healthy obsession with makeup, unicorns, glitter, mermaids, and skulls [skulls are lovely]! I am into paper crafting, multi-media, up-cycling, making pretty things! I think that the best color ever is baby-pink! SO there you have it, a little of this and that, a very short introduction to me! I hope you will hang around and maybe even be inspired?

So I could NOT, not post this!<br />
Better late than never,,,<br />
It was in late November and I had been brainstorming to sadly make one more<br />
memorial canvas. I hate death.<br />
Fact is my aunt was a sweet spirit with a very soft heart. She had the kind of heart<br />
that cared beyond what the average person does! She was beautiful inside and out!<br />
She is gone too soon!! She is loved by her family and especially by her sisters.<br />
And as much as I am sad she is gone, that pales compared to the grief my mom and<br />
Aunt Linda feel. So heartbreaking.<br />
As I was brainstorming to create something to celebrate her life, I remembered I had given her something a long time ago I had made... it was the first and only one I have made to date.<br />
I even found a few pics of it! And seeing the pics of it gave me all the feels.<br />
I originally posted it over at <a href="https://madewithloveandpaper.shutterfly.com/" target="_blank">Made With Love</a> (and Paper), my first ever design team!<br />
It was started by my talented friend <a href="https://truluvcreations.blogspot.com/?fbclid=IwAR10Kb_vXeSRcQZU1ewdelnS1F03qEktqrXmfVX76EjCmEPw4FnFe_qPUO8" target="_blank">Rachelle</a> (click her name to go check out her blog!) she is so inspiring! I still love that DT and consider some of the peeps on it dear friends.<br />
Anyways I was and am SO grateful that I had pics of this project specifically.<br />
My heart was happy to have made her something before she left us far too soon!<br />
I called this project "Box of Blessings", it was filled with Holy Bible verses, to remind<br />
whoever I gave this to, (which it ended up being my Aunt Sherry) that God loves us.<br />
Following are a couple pics...<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I can see the flaws in it BUT remember making this and it was honestly made with love.<br />
If I am remebering correctly I had my husband give this to her for me.<br />
Everytime she saw me she would tell me how talented she thought I was and how<br />
pretty she thought this lil' box was.<br />
She was a blessing to me to have her as an aunt, and she was a blessing being woman of faith.<br />
She loved God and I loved that about her. Bless her sweet soul.<br />
I finally completed her celebration of life canvas, I was happy how it turned out,<br />
Here is a pic of the completed canvas.<br />

What she left me with was that you can have a caring heart that might honestly care too much.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That hurt sometimes does not lessen or get easier to deal with... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
She was a sweet soul with a heart too soft for this world. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
She will always be missed and loved. I hope she is with all the loved ones who have gone before her and I hope she is full of joy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope my canvas honored her and this post does too,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And I also hope to remember to appreciate and love the loved ones I have left in my life, I hope whoever is reading this does too. Life is fragile and short. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And in this new year I pray we find ourselves super blessed, and grateful everyday of it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope in spite of this being a post about loss, in some way you were inspired.</div>

</div>
Hello there! Hope you all are doing well where ever you are and whatever you are doing!!<br />
This is my 2nd post in two days and I am quite geeked about it!<br />
Today I am posting to share a tag I made for a challenge over at <a href="https://blog.emeraldcreek.ca/" target="_blank">Emerald Creek</a>.<br />
I decided to join the Dare {<span style="background-color: #f8f5e8; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.86px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> </span><b style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; font-size: 14.86px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">#<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "quot";">ECOCT2019 }</span></b> challenge and I hope they and anyone reading this will LOVE what I made! Anyways onto the deets...<br />
<br />
<br />
Okay to start off with I knew I HAD to use the Pinkaboo paper stack by #CraftSmart for #Michaels!<br />
I am still on that #PastelOween vibe, and LOVING it!!<br />
First I chose what paper I wanted the tag to be in, I decided on one of the pretty purple skull papers.<br />
Then I die cut it using the large Graphic 45 tag die and my Cut N' Boss by #<a href="https://craftwellusa.com/cutnboss/" target="_blank">CraftwellUSA</a>.<br />
I decided to make a shadow cut of my own to place the die cut on though, using black Recollections 110 lb. cardstock. Such good cardstock y'all!<br />
Next I cut out the spider web images and the Hello Kitty bat image on my Cricut Explore Air 2.<br />
I placed then adhered my die cuts and other cuts in place, then I added a glitter spider that I also got from Michaels to the big spider web.<br />
Then I recalled I had made a Happy Halloween, Kitty shaker embelly a few days ago and SO I added it to the tag!<br />
Next up I decided to die cut that beloved, batty bow and added some holo eyelash trim to the top of the tag then added some black pom pom and more holo trim near the other spider web trim I had cut.<br />
The following pics were the end result!<br />

I made another banner! I have a love for banners & b-days!<br />
SOOO putting them together is always a win to me!<br />
I was asked to create a b-day banner was told the preferred colors,<br />
and was also told it was for a volleyball b-day slumber party bash.<br />
That sounded pretty epic to me. So this banner needed to be cool!!<br />
I knew that this sassy little lady whom the b-day party was for was on the *Mustang* team, so that needed to be repped and she was turning 13 and that also had to be repped.<br />
I wanted to work in her team number BUT real talk?<br />
This sports theme was challenging me to the max already.<br />
I was that girl who hated gym and I am not a fan of any sport, BUT hockey seems kinda cool.<br />
I was able to come up with this...<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This was a much better choice! You can see the full horse. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also wanted this banner to be able to used past the b-day party.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Making a separate banner for the name was probably the only </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
choice for such a long name. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Either was, long or short name I think it's cool to have part of the party to be a little memento, making the name separate from the * happy birthday* enables that to be a thing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I hope she will take the name banner and hang it in her room. 💝</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The font used for the name is from and OLD Cricut cart.</div>

A while back I made this 8x8 layout of my little. My Van, a.k.a. Vansome!<br />
That is just one of his nick-names though! He is funny and wild and we love him!<br />
He is my oldest son's son, yes, for those un-aware... I am a Glam-ma.<br />
It was a happy surprise and has been cray BUT I very much love my Van!<br />
This is just a one & done. I adore this pic and wanted all the attention on Van!<br />
It is amazing how time flies! He will be starting school this year!<br />
Anyways, the following is a project pic featuring the one, the only, the awesome! Vansome! 💙</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This one also has quite a bit of Jillibean Soup used in it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The little hearts are puffy stickers, the love, smile, and yellow dove-tailed tags are cut from some of the ephemera, that color wheel heart is too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The Vansome title was created by me in some editing software I frequently use. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The Vansome definition cut-then-print, is also made by me using the same editing program.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I hope you like my project! How could you not though?! </div>

I used lots of <a href="http://www.jillibean-soup.com/" target="_blank">Jillibean Soup</a> products on this one.<br />
I also used some Folkart paints! Love them!<br />
I did not take many pics of this one, and no process pics! Grrr.<br />
Sharing the two I did take though.<br />
<br />
I used some flowers from my #CraftStash and a water-colored rose I made a long time ago. So colorful. Right? 💙💚💛💜<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW6d3Q-h68XtqQrfqKk6DfT7apWDHTGDFrmr7GA3i998vb9quP3xul_bXlUkcVyLpWR3W_2csznFJcMYLOCyfxw146heT1GelriV-ldfJqshrF08OpoIZUpIcR23KujUrxv04RAQIoELI/s1600/IMG_0990.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW6d3Q-h68XtqQrfqKk6DfT7apWDHTGDFrmr7GA3i998vb9quP3xul_bXlUkcVyLpWR3W_2csznFJcMYLOCyfxw146heT1GelriV-ldfJqshrF08OpoIZUpIcR23KujUrxv04RAQIoELI/s640/IMG_0990.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Then I decided to use another flower from my #CraftStash , and then cut then printed a dove-tailed tag out, with the words faith - hope - and love on it. In-between each word I used some Jillibean tiny puffy heart embellishments.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBZK2wfl3OenWXZVeusMGk-NmLoDw605UITdse9d3jgKjqAFO8esGQbik2Lm1tJFP8qkHr6Fa5CAL_lsSSSvLMHTgLKNHCTfN6zdNfVxADA5yDyiO6REDYXOyqAY-38CMN_YeNfq32YZo/s1600/IMG_0989.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBZK2wfl3OenWXZVeusMGk-NmLoDw605UITdse9d3jgKjqAFO8esGQbik2Lm1tJFP8qkHr6Fa5CAL_lsSSSvLMHTgLKNHCTfN6zdNfVxADA5yDyiO6REDYXOyqAY-38CMN_YeNfq32YZo/s640/IMG_0989.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I decided that this would make a great little present for my aunt. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It did. She seemed to love it. Which made me happy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Anyways, I hope all is well in your world, I hope I in someway inspired you today! Thank you for visiting me here and always stay blessed!</div>

The picture featured in this layout is from a few years back.<br />
It's a pic of me and my youngest child Brooklyn. I love it.<br />
Brooklyn is now a teenager, so he is some-what evil. LOL! JK?<br />
When this pic was taken though, he was one of the sweetest people on Earth! No matter what though I will always love him so!<br />
The following is a pic of the layout...<br />

There seems to be a trend here lately, Jillibean Soup. Last few post. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
No I am not sponsored or affiliated. This layout uses papers and a few embellishments from them though. Hey! They make cute things! I am a lover of all things cute! So these things happen! LOL</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This project is simple, short and sweet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I love this pic of me and my Brooklyn! IT was taken on a beautifully good day! I am thankful it was captured in this photo!</div>

Popping in to share a lil' something I realized<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I can do using the <a href="https://www.scrapbook.com/store/ton-1707e.html" target="_blank">Tim Holtz Stamp Platform</a>. Stamping on gift bags!! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's easy, fun, and I love it! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So here are some pics and the steps I took to make the cute!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The products I used were:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Plain white gift bag</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tim Holtz Stamping Platform</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hero Arts dye ink in - Black</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tim Holtz Distress ink in - Spun Sugar </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Stampin' Up - You're Priceless, stamp set</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some random boho stamp set from walmart?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQcM9G3du8uEygLKX4RKfDs7_XGimLAU7JiRrYd692UDZJo7V2LW2OvOXaqn0R04eIePYyjHzOCv1UVRfap7mZU5qgDHnqO9zBIcp17vUK48JosY5u4jPrcby0SJC2SVfT7qIdnMpUj80/s1600/gbs+01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1208" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQcM9G3du8uEygLKX4RKfDs7_XGimLAU7JiRrYd692UDZJo7V2LW2OvOXaqn0R04eIePYyjHzOCv1UVRfap7mZU5qgDHnqO9zBIcp17vUK48JosY5u4jPrcby0SJC2SVfT7qIdnMpUj80/s640/gbs+01.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First step, after collecting the stamps and such, place the bag on the platform. Securing it with the magnets that come with said stamping platform.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then place your stamps where you want the to go, face-down.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After that put the platform cover down and *BOOM* we're ready to ink those babies up!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This was after the cover had been closed on the stamps. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Perfect placement every-time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
After inking, it's time to stamp! This was after one stamping, I did</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
re-stamp it BUT forgot to take a pic. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
You can see in this pic it was so not perfect. It gets better. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

And here was the final result! I thought it was a cool idea and had to share! Another use for the stamping platform, and more options for packaging is never a bad thing!</div>

<br />
It's Thursday and so I have decided to do a throw-back!<br />
This is to share a project I made for my Aunt Vicki! 💖<br />
It was a simple up-cycled picture frame, and I will never<br />
forget the look on her face when I gave it to her.<br />
She loved it and I felt really humbled by her genuine response.<br />
That is one of the things that keeps me hooked on being a maker!!<br />
That feeling of joy that I get when I gift something I have made<br />
to some one and they love it! I feel so blessed when that happens!<br />
SO anyways I hope you like what I made. I already know my aunt did.<br />
It is my hope that in someway you might be inspired by this post.<br />
It is also my hope that everyone has a very blessed Thursday!<br />
As always much crafty love! <br />

<br />
Today was a sad day in our home.<br />
My baby boi, Brooklyn lost his kitty<br />
Smoke today.<br />
He was such a pretty fluffy gray cloud<br />
of a cat. He was a rescue, and if not<br />
for Brooklyn and God's grace he would<br />
not have had as long of a life as he did.<br />
I love each of my son's hearts.<br />
There is so much good in them!<br />
Today my Brooklyn's heart broke, mine did too.<br />
I did not have the words today.<br />
So I made him a card. Seeing how purely he<br />
loves, it reminded me of the phrase , "Stay Gold".<br />
I hope he does. Please say a prayer for Brooklyn.<br />
Thanx in advance and much crafty love.<br />

I am sure anyone reading this most likely do not know this about me.<br />
I have been crafting for quite a while now. I have collected stamps, BUT I am not much of a stamper! Sad. I know!<br />
One of the things that ALWAYS hindered me stamping was/is I never could get a *perfect* stamped image down! Also there is my dependency on my printer!<br />
For me it's just so easy to find something on-line to use OR make you own sentiments and print them out. WELL since last year I have been playing around with stamping.<br />
Mainly because I purchased the We R Memory Keepers', precision press stamp press.<br />
I love it! For some reason it has been discontinued though? Not sure the reason why. 😩<br />
Since I have not been much of a stamper in the past. I figured I probably missed out on SO MANY amazing stamp releases! So you know what I did? Searched Ebay!<br />
My theory was proven because of the stamp finds I came across !!<br />
Can we say, "Thank God for Ebay"?!! YES!<br />
Since I am a Disney fiend, I love MOST things Disney. I LOVE the villains and also LOVE the princesses especially! Don't even get me started on my love for the Kingdom Hearts games!<br />
So when I came across a set of *DISNEY PRINCESS* stamps, they had to take my money!!<br />
These are small BUT I am thinking will be amazing for just a little accent here and there.<br />
I am thinking tags for sure!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
These next finds had me wanting THE WHOLE COLLECTION! I did manage to ALMOST do that!<br />
I am just needing ONE MORE SET! I cannot find it anywhere! I never had heard of, nor did I see this line of stamps ANYWHERE at the time of release.<br />
We have no lil' local scrap-booking stores near me where I live.<br />
It's all big-box, which I am still thankful to have! Still though, I too often miss out on a lot of amazing things unless I track it down on-line. Anyways! LOL<br />
This stamp line is/was named Ink by Steph, and was released by Fiskars, I am just in-love with them! They are tattoo/rocker inspired! I may not have any tattoos BUT I love the art and the culture!<br />
Though it can be cringy at times, has some amazing attributes!<br />
As far as rock goes I was raised on the classics and metal music was my stuff growing up!<br />
💖 These stamps are all just so pretty to me! Like I said I got all but one set in the line!<br />
I hope to find the last one! Maybe even soon! #Obsessed<br />

I know this post is a bit long BUT I had to share! If you are also feeling these stamps I encourage you to track them down! Sometimes the prices are such a steal!<br />
Then sometimes you feel like you just got robbed! Ahhh life, full of ups and downs!<br />
Right??! Anyways I hope you enjoyed this post! I sincerely hope that in some way I inspired you!<br />
Stay blessed!<br />

So I have been a part of a little design team forever.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's made up of some amazing women, two that I</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
consider dear friends [Rachelle & Krista]!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The name of the design team is Made With Love and Paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was created by Rachelle, she is such a kind person!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Her heart is honestly just beautiful! She is full of talent too!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Krista is much the same, they both are inspiring!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am always loving the challenges set forth every month. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
[Thank you Rachelle!]</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This month our challenge is monochromatic and the theme</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
is, True Love!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had been wanting to do a monochromatic project of some</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
kind FOREVER!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So grateful that this challenge has motivated me to make</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
it happen! True love? I am thinking a love story! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
About a Princess and a plumber! Mario and Peach!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My love of gaming and pink came together and I am happy</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
with the way it turned out. All on a 10 inch altered canvas!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you get a chance check out out design team, it is linked <a href="https://madewithloveandpaper.shutterfly.com/1021" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope you are inspired by my project and I know you will be</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
by the other projects! Pics are posted below.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It all started in a program and ended up an altered canvas.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hope you all like! Blessings to all who visit, and much crafty love!!</div>

Too many REALLY! LOL Especially in stack form!<br />
Some I have hoarded because of their beauty, some because<br />
I have / had no idea what project to use them on!!<br />
So for this post's project I used an old stack and a new one.<br />
The older one was created by <a href="http://www.paperhouseproductions.com/" target="_blank">Paper House</a>, it's the Little Girl stack.<br />
It's quite a few years old! I still think it's a very cute stack.<br />
I remember how much I was loving it when I bought it.<br />
Today it's a struggle for me though!! Thankfully it has<br />
Unicorns in it!! To think I bought this BEFORE my<br />
Unicorn obsession! LOL the new one is by Craft Smith, Stay Magical<br />
I used my <a href="http://www.craftwellusa.com/" target="_blank">Craftwell</a> eBrush, my <a href="https://home.cricut.com/" target="_blank">Cricut </a>Explore 2, a<br />
set of Stampin' Up, star dies, that were cut out using my<br />
Cut N' Boss, by Craftwell.<br />
The following are pics of the cards I made, I am pleased<br />
for the most part how they turned out. Hope are too!<br />

<div>
my Uncle Alan. It was sudden, and that always makes losing a loved </div>
<div>
one even worse!</div>
<div>
My uncle was a pretty amazing guy! I am not just saying that, he</div>
<div>
REALLY was!! He was my mother's brother, and he was most definitely</div>
<div>
the *cool* uncle on her side of the family.</div>
<div>
He was always wearing a leather biker jacket, AND always reminded</div>
<div>
me of the Fonz, from the Happy Days sitcom, so he was like a cooler,</div>
<div>
way less cheesy version of the Fonz!!</div>
<div>
He served in the Military too, so he always deserved respect and appreciation</div>
<div>
for that. My dad whom I miss dearly, ALWAYS like my Uncle Alan, so </div>
<div>
that says a lot too. He was seriously the best single dad I have ever met!</div>
<div>
He loved his daughter SO much! I cannot even express how much I respect</div>
<div>
the kind of parent he was. He was a good guy! The world was a better place</div>
<div>
because he was in it! His service was low key but still full of love.</div>
<div>
I for the first time got to see one of my dear cousins behind the pullpit!</div>
<div>
She is a woman of God and has ministered to me way before she was an official</div>
<div>
minister! The elder pastor, Pastor Brown ministered to my soul, by God's grace,</div>
<div>
with the words she spoke! I REALLY needed to hear that and I know I was not </div>
<div>
the only one! A couple more of my dear cousins shared found memories of my</div>
<div>
uncle, and my dearly loved sister and aunts did too.</div>
<div>
I did not coz I am not that bold! It was so nice to hear what they had to say though.</div>
<div>
#GodIsSOGood I was asked to make a memorial display for his service, and I<br />
wanted to do it right.<br />
I prayed before making it, during, and after too.</div>
<div>
I wanted it to honor my uncle and his life, but I also wanted it to comfort my</div>
<div>
family, especially my cousin, his daughter, who I love probably more than she </div>
<div>
even knows!! This was last moment and I had no idea what theme I was going for!</div>
<div>
I wanted to do something *Steampunk-ish*, I also wanted it to be masculine.</div>
<div>
Which being a lover of pink, and all things glitter this is ALWAYS a challenge</div>
<div>
for me! LOL SO I decided cogs/gears were a must! I decided that the Prima, </div>
<div>
Love Gears, dies were a must! 1. because Gears, 2. because my uncle's b-day</div>
<div>
was on Valentine's Day and hearts! Actually my oldest son shares his b-day, so </div>
<div>
that day is awesome for multi reasons! I wanted to use my Prima dies BUT<br />
I needed some of them bigger, SO I cut them out on my Cuttlebug, then I<br />
scanned those cuts and after that I made file from the scans.<br />
I resized them, and thenI cut them out using my electronic cutting machine.<br />
Since I was only going use these for personal use I am pretty sure that's an okay<br />
thing to do. Right?<br />
Anyways these dies are amazing and you should own them if you have the chance!<br />
So I knew I wanted *Steampunk* vibe right?</div>
<div>
For the first time EVER I got to use some Prima Rust paste! Real talk?<br />
That stuff is AMAZING! I also used my Craftwell eBrush, Cuttlebug, and my<br />
Cricut Explore 2.<br />
After having created the background on the canvas, rusting things up, cutting<br />
things out and bringing it all together was done.<br />
The last hurdle for this piece was, that I wanted it to have a title!<br />
It's a thing from my scrapbooking roots! I just think it pulls things together nicely!<br />
So there was a word that kept coming to my mind.<br />
That word was beloved, a word that means dearly loved, and that was how my </div>
<div>
Uncle Alan was and is loved!<br />
In bringing this post almost to and end I want to remind all y'all<br />
to always let your loved ones know often and how much they are loved! </div>
<div>
This sudden loss is one more reminder that we never know when our time is up!</div>
<div>
So say it often!<br />
I would have posted the steps, and details that went into making this but it's a<br />
somber piece and was rushed last minute. So I could not.</div>
<div>
I did manage to take a pic or two though. Sharing here of course.<br />
I will also be sharing on my Instagram and such.<br />
Love went into this, and I pray that is obvious to all who see it.<br />
I hope somehow it was comforting to the family and honored my uncle.<br />
Now in sharing this I hope you might be inspired! Much crafty love to all who visit.</div>

having a sale and I had to buy! I happen to love skulls.<br />
SO this warmer is skull themed and designed to be colored<br />
on with sharpies! Cool right?<br />
So if I get bored or whatever I can just re-do it!<br />
I decided the perfect tool besides my sharpies for this project,<br />
would be my eBrush, by <a href="http://blog.craftwellusa.com/" target="_blank">Craftwell</a>! I was correct, no doubt!<br />
I went simple/artsy/creepy for the first design!<br />
I used my eBrush to black out the eyes, nose, mouth, and<br />
shaded a few other spots.<br />
I then cut out a teeth stencil that I designed on my Cricut<br />
Explore 2.<br />
Using rubbing alcohol and a paper towel, I put the stencil over<br />
the mouth and cleared out some teeth.<br />
Then to get the artsy/creepy effect I used a spray bottle and some<br />
more rubbing alcohol to cause the running effect.<br />
I will let this dry completely before turning on the wax melting<br />
element because alcohol and any heat source is not a safe mix!<br />
SAFETY FIRST! Once dried everything is all good and safe.<br />
Hope you all like and are in some way inspired!<br />
Much love! - Dezz<br />

Lately life has gotten a bit more cray than usual.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So it seems like my crafty-self has reached a block?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Not really though! I am working on a few things low-key.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Things that might not be published for months! 😮</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
SOOO I am going to reach into my vault of things</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have made BUT not really posted, and share them here.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I might have posted on IG or FB but for some reason</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I forgot to here? *SMH* </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Anyways pics to follow! Hope everyone had an epic weekend! </div>

SOOOO in the next few months I will be participating in a local</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
event and trying to get my *hustle* on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not gonna lie I am socially awkward as heck, and am very challenged when it comes to pricing my work! Here is my thought process: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* 1st. if someone shows genuine interest in something I have made If feel so blessed! Seriously. How awesome is that?!It makes my heart smile, in a big way!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* 2nd. I think OMG... PRICE?!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I fear that if an item is priced to high I would come across as being arrogant?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Staying humble is important to me. I would rather lose a few pennies than come across cocky. For real. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
SO in the coming weeks expect more creations being posted.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When the time has come, you know I will be ranting and updating the craft selling event! <3 Whew! Rant over!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With all of that being said here is a throw-back project share!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's an actual scrapbook layout! Two pages even! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This was from a show back in the day, an ICP, one to be exact #iMarriedAJuggalo </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was a great night! It was my first show and my lil' man's too!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
LOVE this memory and am glad to have these pics, and pages to cherish these moments all the more!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hope you all enjoy, and maybe even are inspired! Much love!</div>

I have loved The Wizard of Oz since<br />
I was little! Not long after I got into<br />
paper crafting [2005 was when I stared]<br />
I saw this paper stack at Michaels.<br />
I though it was gorgeous!<br />
It had glitter, and was Wizard of Oz themed.<br />
SO I bought it... and never used it,<br />
until this year! I used quite a bit from my stash!<br />
A little magic wand, some Webster Pages trims,<br />
that I love, a spray of paper flowers that I got from<br />
Michaels FOREVER ago, and this paper!<br />
Featuring Glinda the good witch!<br />
This is the first of a series of these types of hoops,<br />
using this paper stack.<br />
I was not in-love with it at first, and had no idea<br />
of what this and that I was going to use, but once<br />
things starting coming together I was very pleased!<br />
I decided to throw together a small tutorial.<br />
I know there are alot around BUT I thought I would<br />
try and share my process.<br />
<br />
Supplies:<br />
<br />
9 1/2 inch embroidery hoop.<br />
Canvas [can be bought in the fabric section of stores usually].<br />
Pretty paper of your choice [at least 10x10 inches in size].<br />
Paint.<br />
Matte Gel or Modpodge [or whatever it is you decoupage with]<br />
Hot glue gun and glue sticks.<br />
Quick drying glue<br />
Sequins<br />
Trims and ribbons of your choice.<br />
Embellishments as many and whatever kind make your heart smile.<br />
<br />
Here are a few of my supplies before I began constructing my project. Aren't they pretty?! I try and collect whatever I might want to use before beginning a project. I find this cuts down on the stress and makes the creating process so much easier.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-gahs9tf0G-gvfJ-yjpGk_Sq6CasdgPkPUM2gtLaDGCtxLPMXX6Cxvnu6RJeON77uQbg3X6DzUaE3cg0F-krnwz5szwHSa_ndr77HWWvqjY79wKHvvmhkgLWpiTl-b4Wm5XPSctLxVc0/s1600/glinda+hoop+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1440" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-gahs9tf0G-gvfJ-yjpGk_Sq6CasdgPkPUM2gtLaDGCtxLPMXX6Cxvnu6RJeON77uQbg3X6DzUaE3cg0F-krnwz5szwHSa_ndr77HWWvqjY79wKHvvmhkgLWpiTl-b4Wm5XPSctLxVc0/s400/glinda+hoop+1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The first thing you will want to do place the hoop over the part your pretty paper that you want featured on your project.<br />
Trace around the outer edge of your hoop.<br />
Then cut out what you traced, for this project it was a circle shape.<br />
Next step for this project was separating and then painting the hoop parts, letting them dry completely.<br />
After that you will to cut your canvas to fit in between your hoop parts.<br />
Leaving an inch or so extra.<br />
Once that is done, you will want to place the canvas fabric in between the two hoops.<br />
Tightening the screw thingie at the top of the hoop.<br />
Making sure it as tight as can be.<br />
Make sure your canvas is taught, and there are no wrinkles.<br />
This is what my project looked like after all of that.<br />
I also painted on my paper, I wanted it to match my canvas and hoop.<br />
You can do what you like though.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I then took my decoupage medium and a paint brush and brushed my medium onto the canvas.<br />
Then added some to the back of my cut out paper and put the paper on top adhering them together.<br />
I use a small brayer to make sure there are no lumps or bubbles in the paper.<br />
I usually add a top coat to seal it all.<br />
Then let it dry completely.<br />
The next step is one of my favorite steps of the whole process!<br />
Deciding what embellishments stayed and what had to go back in my supply stash!<br />
I love looking at all the pretty things! So much!<br />
<br />

<br />
Once I had settled on some pretty things I placed them on the project using my fine tipped glue gun and some hot glue.<br />
I ALWAYS place trim around the outside edge of the hoop.<br />
It's pretty and it hides where you cut the canvas!<br />
The next pic was taken during mid project. I loved the direction<br />
this was going!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeYA_I874IOzJK697AourjdnE7dkM0iDGkpErh0h_vyavwEetfEq1yIuFGakJd7k0ZRXaRXf4GNScsB_Jk-LzFWhULLCGsAaM95uz9mu5VgzffPpSTCbnG43hvEwPEqlXGupH4edz1-6Y/s1600/glinda+hoop+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1440" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeYA_I874IOzJK697AourjdnE7dkM0iDGkpErh0h_vyavwEetfEq1yIuFGakJd7k0ZRXaRXf4GNScsB_Jk-LzFWhULLCGsAaM95uz9mu5VgzffPpSTCbnG43hvEwPEqlXGupH4edz1-6Y/s400/glinda+hoop+4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Next I wanted flowers. I was stumped!<br />
Thankfully I found this little sprig of flowers in my craft horde. Pretty sure I got them on clearance at Michaels YEARS ago!<br />
They were just what I needed!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJMXwX6sPRqRRNDr2Eh3OhRyoAWcayDdpitvZbScf9em01uWKC9WZr24RF0XrEBprr1hQy2PLFrVa1-d4jHL1zVcQeLaWB_SmFt_aXkSSO58d4BWojc2VQeRXcyfswvDMLSY4YN5KyEQs/s1600/glinda+hoop+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1079" data-original-width="1440" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJMXwX6sPRqRRNDr2Eh3OhRyoAWcayDdpitvZbScf9em01uWKC9WZr24RF0XrEBprr1hQy2PLFrVa1-d4jHL1zVcQeLaWB_SmFt_aXkSSO58d4BWojc2VQeRXcyfswvDMLSY4YN5KyEQs/s400/glinda+hoop+5.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I did some altering to the flower sprig, then glued them down using my hot glue.<br />
I was pretty pleased with the progress.<br />
The next thing I decided to add was some star sequins!<br />
I also wanted an inspirational quote, one from the Wizard of Oz would have to be a thing!<br />
So I did a little googling, and found the perfect quote from the movie!<br />
I went into my electronic cutting machine program, typed out the quote and then printed and cut it out on vellum paper using my electronic cutter.<br />
I adhered it down to the canvas using my fave glue and then glued a few star sequins to the vellum.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This is what I had when the whole process was done.<br />
I honestly loved it [hopefully you like it too] and it made me feel good to be creating and using my craft stash!<br />
Below are a few more pics of the finished project.<br />

<br />
I hope this tutorial was easy to understand!<br />
In closing I just wanted to note that I always thank God for everything good in my life.<br />
I don't plan out my projects much, so I know He helps me!<br />
If not for Him I would be no good, do no good, and it would not be possible for me to make pretty things.<br />
That is how I see it anyways!<br />
I hope whoever views this loves it and is inspired!<br />
Much love!! <br />

A while back I was asked by my mom to make her something.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She wanted me to make something with an embroidery hoop to </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
hang on her front door.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She wanted a specific verse from the Bible too.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
SO I did a search on what could be done with embroidery hoops.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Can I just say I was inspired so much after doing some research!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I also remembered that I had this out-dated calendar that my mom </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
had given me a LONG time ago to do something crafty with.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Not too long ago I created this project and forget to share it here...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My mom loved it and that made me very happy!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I hope this inspires anyone who sees it!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Upcycled calendar + embroidery hoop + bible verse = </div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
