LOVE marquee love.

summer is here! and with that LOADS of events!  this year, summer for me is filled with all things LOVE...babies and weddings!  tis the season!  in spirit of this fabulous time of year, i created some gorgeous heidi swapp marquee love letters that are perfect for all things LOVE.  what i created is simple, timeless and super elegant.  perfect decor pieces for weddings, wedding showers, babies and baby showers!  think guestbook tables, nurseries, mantle decor.

if you have seen the fabulous marquee letters than you know that when you purchase them, they are simply plain white.  and although still fabulous....who doesn't love to jazz things up just a bit more?

here is a very simple yet fabulous way to transform the gorgeous heidi swapp marquee letters into "wow factor" marquee letters!  all i did was take some of my favourite 12x12 pattern papers from the heidi swapp minc collection and ran them through my minc machine in gold and mint foil.  i then traced out the letters out of that paper and placed them inside my marquee.  I then lined the insides of my letters with the beautiful gold and white glitter marquee love tapes.  

however, to add that extra bit of dazzle i had to whip out the marquee love glitter.  this stuff is so sparkly, so dazzly, so chunky....it looks GORGEOUS on the marquee.  if you have not yet tried it out, i highly recommend.  it truly takes your marquee up to the next level of dazzle.

once i was all complete, i popped in my lights turned the switch and voila!  i LOVE my "LOVE" marquee.

forever and ever. love mixed media!

today i am up on heidi swapp's blog showcasing my latest creative adventure.  it is an adventure using the beautiful new cinch kits that are now available at michaels.  and … yes they are exclusive!  not only did i use the gorgeous cinch kits to create my project, but also the fabulous new mixed media products that will make your heart swoon.

think texture pastes in gold, silver, metallic teal….just to name a few.  art screens and ink in beautiful phrases and gorgeous colours.  yes….totally over the top amazing.

i am sharing an in-depth look into my project today so i hope you head on over there for a good look.  there are so many fun and easy tips and techniques that i share in order for you to maximize your stencils and art screens.  they are so fun to combine and alter to get exactly the look you are wanting.

this page above is probably my favourite in my album so far.  i love the colours and the stencils and just the way it all blends together.  i think the best part about mixed media is that it truly takes on a life of it's own.  there is still so much i want to add and do to my book!  i can never get enough of making pretty stuff.  especially when it's as awesome as the new mixed media stash now available at michaels.  seriously….it's a must have! and SO fun. #selfprofessedmixedmediaaddict :)
