I hope you are enjoying the hop. My project today is this home decor piece. It's fun and easy to make. I used products from A Maker's Studio I feel in love with these products. I became an affiliate with the company. Let's get started...

I picked up the wooden pumpkin sign up at Hobby Lobby I lightly sanded it just to make sure it's smooth.

Then I applied the Gel Stain from A Maker's Studio.You can see all the colors that are offered here. I love using this Gel Stain because it doesn't have an VOC's (Bad Chemicals) I DON'T need to go outside to use it. It actually has essential oils in it so it smells like a dream. It's easy to use

You Brush it on with a chip brush which I prefer but you may use a foam brush or even a baby wipe. Once you cover with the stain I wipe it off and let dry.

After it dries I like to use the mesh stencils. Here I'm using The Pumpkin Patch mesh stencil on this project. What's so nice of these mesh stencils is that they are reusable and you can use them on all kinds of surfaces: Paper, chalkboards, glass, wood, mirrors and so much more. I'm using ChalkArt which is a Chalk paste that is washable. It dries and stay's put and when you are ready to change your decor just wet it and it wipes away.

You apply the ChalkArt by using a squeegee to and you push the the Chalkart through the screen and then you pull the mesh stencil and just like that you have a masterpiece!

Thank you for stopping by today. If you have any questions I would love to hear from you. Enjoy the rest of the hop.

Hello Everyone, I have a different kind of project for you. I made a sign with a twist.
I made this cute board it hold my pups leash and treats but I think I'm going to use the glass holder
for the extra doggie bags rolls

Here's a quick run through on how I made it.

Cut my vinyl with my Cricut

Weeded the vinyl which means you take away the parts you don't want

weeding the small bits

Applying the Transfer Paper. This picks up the whole designs so

you can place it where you want

Here I'm burnishing it so that the design comes up with the transfer paper.

Here I'm lifting it up

Here I'm placing it on the board where I want it.

I'm burnishing it again on to the board so that the design stays on my board

Now, I'm peeling it up the transfer paper making sure that my design stays on my board.

I'm adding the band to my board.

you have to tighten it until it hold the jar in place. I drilled a hole so that

I could screw the knob in to hold the leash

Thank You for hopping along.

New Beginings

Hi, I wanted to share my new journey I began last April while I was still with a company called Chalk Couture. I'm going to go back to September 2017. I was an Empty Nester, The previous May the family I was a nanny for moved to an other state. I was with them for 3 years. I was wondering what I was going to do. I have two daughters while they where little I had been involved with a couple of direct sales companies. Do you remember Southern Living at Home or Taste of Home? I was with them and loved it. I loved being part of a consultant (family) team, I loved the recognition from the company, the incentive trips I earned and the extra money that I brought into the family that money was fun money. So, I was looking for something. I have always like to craft, scrapbook, mixed- media, paper crafting plus one of the thing I truly enjoy is teaching. I had been teach at our local scrapbook store until it closed down early in 2017. so, now forward to September 2017 a friend had sent me a video of a Chalk Couture Designer. I knew that instant that that was what I wanted to do! I signed up that next day and from that moment in September to July I had moved up as leadership and grew a team of 125+. You might ask why I left well in April someone told me about A Makers Studio. I was so intrigued with the products specially their paint! I was told if I wanted to update a piece of furniture I didn't need to sand, strip it. I just had to clean it with a product that they carried called Furniture clearer and paint with their brushes. Plus that their products had no VOC and menthol (chemicals that made you ventilate while you worked) I was hooked. So I signed up on the First day they opened for signing up, I was the first of 50 ladies that signed up that day. One little problem I had was that AMS also carried stencils that had sticky back and reusable plus Chalkpaste. A little conflict of interest. Well someone got wind of me being with AMS and turned me in to compliance with Chalk Couture. It was really a hard decision. I was so close to reaching the top levels of Leadership and my team was growing. it took me several days to decided but I knew in my heart that A Makers' Studio was for me. They had a more diverse product line and I love the Mother Maker herself Amy Howard. I love her passion and the way she runs her business. She has our backs and is teaching us the Makers to be the best that we can be. Teaching us to be #makerbosses to grow personally and she is giving us skills and investing in us. Who wouldn't want someone like that on their side?

Here are some before and afters using the paint, Recuse Restore Paint I talked about.

You can find the products on my website

Hello there happy December, today I have a tutorial for with using A Makers' Studio (AMS) Products. I'll be painting a wooden stocking that I bought at Hobby Lobby.

The paint is from AMS it's called Rescue Restore Paint in Pick a Pepper. The re-usable sticky back stencils I used are called Gingham and the Alphabet 4.

I also used the stencil from the November Monthly subscription. I used Snow-Tex that I also got at Hobby Lobby. I made this with in an hours what took the longest was the dry time for the Snow-tex. I made this for the bedroom doors to add some Christmas cheer to the hall way. I hope you enjoyed this project and I inspired you. I have a facebook page for my new business if you would like to follow me and learn about all about the products A Makers' Studio has to offer.

The video below shows how I created this project.
