Totally Girly Canvas Art

A few things I have been working on for a while, and finally finished them
I altered some prints on canvas to incorporate paper, flowers, ribbons and fibers. Basically I made it completely unique! These are one of a kind original art works by me.
Yes, they are for sale too...




You can buy each piece individually, or the whole set...

Each shoe art is 12" x 12"  cost is $30 each

Each London and Paris is 12"x24" cost is $40 each

The small pieces are 7"x9" and cost $10 each

I am in the process of making some new ones with inspirational sayings on them.
and I have a few ideas for some masculine designs.

For some more ideas for your home check out these posts : home decor


Have a wonderful day!

and you want the base to make your own banner
Just order the quantity and colors you want


each piece measures 11" high  x  7" wide at the top

cost $1.25 per piece -- minimum 5 pieces (because any less just wouldn't look as good)

one pattern for the straight triangle is included 
or you can also order straight pieces cut 

cost $.75 per piece -- minimum 5 pieces

Christmas Banner

If you haven't made a banner yet, you are missin' out!!
This was so much fun!
and now I want to make one for every event
and Holiday
can you imagine all the different banners you can have...


 This banner and all that I make for you are one of a kind 
that means each one is different depending on availability of supplies


 I cut out the black with my pazzle
so I do have it saved 
if you want to order some to make your own 
check out the Studio A boutique


 I had a pack of  K&Co. felt stickers that were perfect!


 I used pop dots to raise the smaller tree up for more depth.


 Under a few of the ornaments I just glued a folded piece of paper.
for more depth fold more like an acordian


 Hope you liked this as much as I did! 

I will make custom order banners for you 
just go to the Studio A boutique for more details

Lots of Love,

Super BIG News.....

We All miss the Castle don't we.
I know we do, and each of us for different reasons.
For so many of you it was a place to stop in, talk and chat, 
relax, or pick up some supplies.
Many of you needed some inspiration, direction, 
or just for me to pick it all out for you.

What I miss the most is all of You.
 Yes, the connection I made with each and everyone of you
has helped me become who I am today.
  I can be creative anywhere,
but spending time with You, made my day. 
 Some of my best friends I have met during the years of
owning and running the Castle.  
One of my very best of friends, is without a doubt,
 Patty Marks.  
She came into the shop, and we just clicked.
She is the hardest working person I have ever met.
She started helping me, and keeping me focused. 
I taught her how to pick out papers, and
how to be a more positive person (her words).
She loved the atmosphere of the shop and said
 it just made a difference to her life and so many others.
Through time and work we have taught each other a lot 
about art, scrapbooking, friendship, and more.  


All that to say, I am so proud of Patty.  
She has developed her knowledge base in the industry and 
is now ready to dive into a brand new adventure in her life....

We NOW have a
new LOCAL
Craft and Scrapbook Store!!!!!  
whooooo hoooooo!

Some of our Favorite Brands

And We all Know How a Large selection

I will be teaching Classes soon.
You can purchase my
Page kits, altered art, home decor, and even more.
 I have so many new ideas that I can't wait to share with you...

So, Now is the time to show her your love and support.
