Pinterest Craft Fail...sort of

 So my friend's daughter is in town for the summer.  She loves tie dye and I was looking for something to do with her.  I saw a few things on Pinterest where they used Sharpies to tie dye shoes.  I showed her, asked if she wanted to do it, she said yes so I ordered the supplies (thanks Amazon Prime Day!).  I researched a few different designs we could try.  She wanted to do all rainbow, normal tie dye looking with doodles on top when finished.  I wanted to do a galaxy-ish motif.  To say things didn't go as planned is an understatement.  Certain colors worked better than others, we got high on alcohol fumes, it was a mess.  We did have fun though, and that's all that matters.  I think her shoes turned out way better than mine and she is proud of her work. I was sad mine didn't turn out well, but tried to save it by adding color to the seams and adding affirmations to each one.

Check out our work below and let me know if you've ever tried it!

Sunday Funday Hazie Style

I watched my niece/goddaughter this weekend while her parents had a much needed weekend away for their anniversary.  She is a riot and kept me on my toes the whole time. One thing she loves is to paint. So on Sunday, we got out the paint and some canvas and went to town. There was a point where I felt like I lost control of the situation but it was fun nonetheless. I need to figure out how to finish my piece with the dots… I may add a quote over them or in between…

March Card Class design

 For March I had a plan and I am happy to report that I executed it perfectly the first attempt!  I took a card layout and combined it with a color combination I liked to create what I think is the perfect card to send to your friends.  Layout and color combination are not my images, but the final product is my doing.  Let me know what you think!

February Card design + design process insight

 Sometimes I think I have a great card layout but it just doesn't come to fruition. I want to touch on my design process and how I get from the first rendition to the last when I am struggling with how it looks.  I started with a card based on my original layout. I planned to use a stamp set (Amazing Year) that was in the annual catalog, but didn't seem to be used too much (that I had seen). It did not turn out good at all, in my opinion.  So I sent it to my fellow demonstrators and got a few suggestions. I updated the design, but something was still off.  I asked my upline for some advice and then came up with the final design. While I did ask for opinions and suggestions, I didn't always use the advice given. The process took several days because I like to step away from a project when it's not going quite as planned.  The first one may have had potential, but I think I was limiting myself with a color palette since I was set on trying to use a specific DSP (designer
