Temporarily Closing Shops

It's week 38. Just got fitted for my nursing bras and picked up some nursing tank tops. Now I'm all ready for the hospital. Just in time too cause this is getting bigger and heavier and harder to carry around so I'll be taking it easy for the next month and maybe a little bit longer if baby decides to come late. Shops will be temporarily closing for the month of June and maybe a little into July.

My last shipping day will be Tuesday, June 1st.

Next shop update will be mid to late July - please stay tuned :)

Will try to update this blog at least weekly.

i just wanna make stuff :)

If you got the Vintage Random Memories art journal, you might've gotten a smaller version of one of these Elle's Studio packaging backings. I have tons of them from ordering her lovely tags for my kits and they're just so pretty that I don't like throwing them away. These are the larger ones that I decided to hang onto and am including in my next project :). What I did with them is paint Gesso on her company name inside the bracket. Gesso is like a very dense white acrylic white paint. For the red pieces on the left, there's only one coat of Gesso so far while the non-red pieces have 2 coats. You can see that it's covered almost all of the Elle's logo. I'm just leaving it at 2 coats. After you add handwriting on it, it'll barely be noticeable.

I did up some new sample embellishments for my July release and got to pulling out the stash that I collected on my birthday trip to Vancouver. So much fun and inspiring stuff in these baggies! Makes me so happy that I get to turn one person's "junk" into lovely treasures for you :). There's upcycle, found and vintage goodies in there just waiting patiently for me.

I could just hang out here for hours (which I did last evening and already this morning) but we have to put playing in the studio on hold for a bit to do some nesting :P.

What are you doing today?
