Hybrid Color Shine Frame




I'm so in awe with Heidi's new COLOR SHINE collection that I just had to create a home decor that would show off the bright and fun irridescent colors.  Color Shine can spray on fabric and wood just BEAUTIFULLY!!  I've taken this gorgeous ornate wooden frame you can get at your local craft store and I sprayed Primrose then Black Velvet over it which gave a dark wood finish.  I love Pink Paislee's Artisan collection which are fabulous with Heidi's Color Shine!  I used the scallop ribbon to create the ruffles as a backdrop.  I cut them into strips and sprayed them with different colors (black velvet,primrose,tropicana teal, tinsel and mustard) then adhered them to Color Magic paper.   I wanted to mimic my photo booth backdrop that was shown on Heidi's blog a few days ago to create a mini book frame of the event to display.  Just like the lifesize pennant/instaframe banners I printed these all from Heidi's Digi shop. I then sewed them together so to make sure they swag across the page.  I did this separately from the page or you can sew it onto the page as well.  I'm loving this sewing on everything deal!    The mini book itself is as simple as  attaching the photos with brads.  On the back of the cover I used Vintage Chic paper, Chic notesSugar chic buzz word and Neon washi tape. Such a simple, colorful and fun way to display your love for pretty things.  












Check out Heidi's video on Scrapbook.com. as she demos the beautiful colors of Color Shine.  Also, Scrapbook.com is having a special.  Buy 3 get the 4th Color shine FREE!  Now that's a deal.

Heidi Swapp DIY digi Photo booth


F A B U L O U S!  That's how this past weekend was with Heidi Swapp at Art Inspired Studios in Brentwood was.  As you know, Heidi's digi shop has lots of digi goodness.  There's so many different ways you can create with digital products.  Since it was going to be a fun weekend of doing what we love... MAKING PRETTY STUFF, why not create a photobooth using her digital elements.  We were fortunate enough to have a photo booth machine for Friday night from Gina Marie at Scraptacular Getaway and wow!  It was a blast!  I used images from Heidi's SUGAR CHIC PENNANTSNO LIMITS PENNANTS,  COLORFUL INSTAFRAMESNO LIMITS STICKERSSUGAR CHIC STICKERS and SUGAR CHIC BUZZ WORDS.   To learn how to use these digi to print and cut check out Heidi's tutorial video.

Heidi Swapp at Art Inspired Studios


This past weekend of tons of inspiration with Heidi Swapp at Art Inspired Studios was just
 A M A Z I N G!  She's such a fun, energetic, talented and sweet person.  Loved learning and being inspired by her on a daily basis.  We had the pleasure of Heidi hanging and it was such a BLAST!
My great friend Patti who is the owner of Art Inspired Studios is who made it happen.  She too is such the sweetest and fun loving person.  She has an beautiful store that's filled with the latest and greatest.  You better believe she stocked up on Heidi Swapp's newest collection.  So lovin' every one of them.





Here's my silly and beautiful best friend Lisa who shares the same obsession for anything Heidi.  Haha! 


Vintage Chic memory files and fotostacks.  sigh..love them!



Every customer had a bag and a "wand" with numbers where they would raise it and someone will grab any product they need. So you don't have to get up!  Awesome!





Look how beautiful these Vintage Chic papers are.



Heidi showing us one of the Memory File class that was on Friday.




Demonstrating Color Shine which are just gorgeous!  We then got to play and get messy with them.



She of course was signing all of her books from her Signature series book by Northridge Publishing.



Oh my goodness!  Lots of beautiful colors here.  Wait til you get a hold of them and play.  Love them all.




Here's the Color Magic paper where Heidi colored in Faber Castel colors. Aren't they beautiful? Below that..the one with the stripes I used Georgia Peach and applied gold on top.  Gorgeous isn't it?  The other stripe one is Tropicana teal and gold on top.









Here's that Gold color shine.













Black velvet and gold on top.










We had such a great time Friday night where there was this photo booth machine where we all took a bunch of silly photos.  There's Patti and Heidi being silly!  Love it!  My bff Lisa and Diane.
