Make Live Share!

Hello everyone! I am so excited to share my first project inspired by Richard Garay's "Make Live Share" movement. What is that you might ask. Well, I was unaware of it too. I was at the Journey Station in Phoenix a couple of weeks back and got to know about the company, products and various Artists/people and Richard's "Make Live Share" movement. The idea behind this is to share our passion of craft and creativity with others.

I liked this idea of a "mobile", which Richard shares in THIS video, and decided to create a surprise for my younger daughter as she loves mobiles. She would often come to my crafty table, look at what I was creating and ask if she'd get a card too. So, as I created this while she was away at school (hehe) she was totally surprised when she saw what I had for her ;)

Here is how I created it:

I used Celebrations collection by Richard Garay  and some of the Fun Stampers Journey products to create this project. First I die-cut 12 of each size of flowers using the patterned paper and lots flower centers using  the solid colors and some glitter cardstock. The Journey Platinum machine makes it so easy to cut everything faster.

Then, I sponged the edges using Watermelon Fusion ink.

I sandwiched the flowers to the green twine.

Then adhered the flower centers (cut from glitter cardstock) using 3D foam squares.

In-between the flowers, I adhered the solid color circles and applied some Journey Glaze. I looove this product, it give such a nice and  special glaze :)

I then die-cut the fringe and cut it from the center.

Adhered some white liner and adhered the fringe to the top circle of the mobile.

Look at her smile when she got it :) This idea is so much fun and what's better than seeing a smile on the recipients face with our handmade creation :) Hope this leaves you wanting to join Richard's movement to create and share!!

Thank for stopping by!
