We would like to welcome our sponsor for this challenge, May Arts!

May Arts Ribbon was founded in the early 1980’s in Riverside, Connecticut. The original products were high-end silk flowers imported from Taiwan, which were decorated using quality ribbons. The decorative ribbons proved so popular among customers that the business gradually evolved into a dedicated ribbon wholesaler. 

As a family-owned and operated business, May Arts began a long-standing tradition of quality, affordability and exceptional customer service. We are dedicated to carrying on this same tradition by offering high quality products at competitive prices. Our friendly, knowledgeable staff is always happy to answer your questions or to assist you in placing your order. 

May Arts carries a wide selection of quality ribbons to choose from; such as grosgrain, silk, satin, burlap and a variety of prints and patterns. All inventory is held in stock, so we can ship orders out right away—typically the same day.

The winner of this challenge will receive
their choice of two full spools from their new releases!!!  

Here is the link for them to choose from:

I have also used some modeling paste to give some texture on my page, and made the rain with some gesso...I cut the couple figure with my Shillouette Cameo  and the clouds by hand...I have also used some flowers that |I gessoed them and painted in yellow and tyrquise.... I loved my journaling this time.... Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass,it's about learning to dance in the rain....So wise....

Hello from rainy Athens!!!!!
A new challenge is up on the Frosted Design blog today!!!! And is soooo interesting!!!!! You have to make homemade flowers this time and use some recycled material on your project!!!!

My project today is a mixed media calendar ....I t 's a little late for calendars , eh? But I wanted to make something as a gift for my loved sister and I knew that she wanted a calendar for her kitchen....

I made two rossettes with my Sillhouette Cameo , in tones of purple and yellow and decorated my canvas in those tones too. I used some thread of my stash and made some layers of paper I found in my stash , too. I love using my scraps.....

So, that's my canvas calendar!!!! Hope you have been inspired and see your projects soon on the blog!!!!
