Feels Like Frost Studio Displays

Being Christmas Eve and all, I thought today would be a good day to share some of my studio displays with you.  If you follow my blog, you'll know that I purchased an antique display cabinet/desk a while back and have been enjoying decorating it ever since.  It's perfect for showcasing some of my seasonal cards and projects.  Here's what I did for Christmas.

The basket contains just a few of the German Bells I made this season.  I'm happy to say that I probably made around a hundred of them and, to date, have shared them all!  It's so much fun to make something that you can share with others.  Spreading the joy ... that's what it's all about.

After Christmas, the new display will be so totally different, due to a bright new color story, you'll hardly recognize it.  I can't wait to share it with you!

COMING SOON:
NEW CLASSES ... LOTS OF CREATIVE FUN 
           ... HEADED YOUR WAY!

That's it for now.  

Thanks for stopping by my blog neighborhood.   

Have a beautiful day!

Two Little Framed Projects and My Newest Treasure

I found the most wonderful vintage cabinet recently that was a perfect fit for my recently renovated studio.  After moving all my office furniture upstairs into my former nursery, I found myself wishing I still had a desk in my studio.  I didn't need much, just a place to sometimes use for paperwork, etc.  When I first saw that this cabinet, I knew immediately that it would be perfect.  Not only did it have the little desk space that I needed, it also would provide a wonderful display area for some of my art work.  I had a ball filling it with some of my newest projects, including this framed project I'm sharing with you today.  It will be so much fun to continue filling it with new projects to share with everyone.  Having art work on display is inspirational to me, as well, as I work in my studio on more projects.  Here's my framed project.

I've had this little girl with me for many years now.  I've updated the frame and all the background to coordinate with what I have in my 'new' studio now.  I used to have more reds, but now I like the Coastal Cabana and Lemon Lime Twist/Granny Apple Green accents.  It's fun to enjoy a fresh, new look to it all. 

... and here's my new vintage cabinet ...

My display has already changed since I added these projects.  I'll have to update my photo soon, so I can share it with you again.  In addition to the desk and wonderful display area, I love that I can use the 3 large drawers to keep larger items handy that I use during my classes, such as our pads of Grid Paper.

My 'wreath' project showcases all our newest In Colors, along with the cutest ever little embellishments (my flower centers).  The flowers were created with one of our newest punches.

How do you like our newest In Colors?  Which one is your favorite?  I can't tell you yet which one I like the best.  I'm actually having trouble choosing, but I'll let you know after my Summer Open House Party.  It's one of our favorite guessing games we play each year:)

Wow!  How's that for some fun new projects?!
