WOW!! I didn't post at all last week. All my posting was on Instagram and Facebook as I encountered my first ever Creativation...more on that to come!!
I also got back into my craft room and did a small canvas for The Frilly and Funkie Winter Hues Challenge. Now the hues are winter but the message is one of thanks and memories. Being a part of the Design Team for Emerald Creek allowed me to be at the show and meet some of the most incredibly talented and kind people ever! But first pics of the project!

| 6X6 canvas, gesso'd, painted, stencilled, embossed, distress sprayed and the flowers were edged in Hammered Metal embossing powder from Emerald Creek. |
Just a few close ups of my project to show some of the details.

I did my project with the challenge in mind but also as a thank you for the amazing people that I got to meet and the incredible time I had at my first ever show.
The show started with this amazing team!
I also had the pleasure/honour of meeting some of my crafting idols!! These ladies were so incredibly kind and made me feel so welcome. I'm still fangirling a bit because well....look at all this talent!!

Cathy, I almost missed this post--still trying to figure out how to use this following thing, so I'm going to switch over to the other way I see on your sidebar.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful canvas made with so much love and excitement for the Creativation show! I adored seeing your photos here, especially of the EC team--how lucky you are to get to meet them all and Karen, Anita and Jenny! Wish I could have been there (except for that dreadful cold so many caught). I want to know if anyone gave that hug to Tim I passed on? :):) Sending you hugs!
Awwwh bless ya Cathy! It was such a joy to meet you and all of the Emerald Creek team. Thank you so much for the lovely shout out, and thank you for joining us at Frilly and Funkie xxx
ReplyDeleteLovely canvas with lots of winter colours. Glad you had a blast at the show and got to meet Jenny - she is a gem, isn't she? Thanks for joining us at Frilly and Funkie.
