We are so excited to have our first guest DT. Drum roll please....
Here's a little background on Tammy.
"I am a lifelong artist and crafter. My mother was a professional artist for many years so I grew up surrounded by art and hobby supplies. I love all types of crafts but find my true crafting passion in papercrafts, ribbonwork, and sewing. I love to combine elements of all three into my projects.
I have been an instructor and project designer in the papercraft/scrapbook industry for more than 5 years. I have been fortunate to work for many top manufacturers including: Tim Holtz, BasicGrey, ProvoCraft/Cricut, Prima Marketing, Therm O Web, Glitz Design, and Pink Paislee. My work has been published in several books, magazines, and product catalogs and has been featured on television. My classes have been offered at stores, conventions, and online on both my own blog and at Big Picture Classes.
When I am not creating, I am a wife and mother of three who loves anyting and everything shabby, chippy, and vintage. I love to scour flea markets for old treasures. I am also a fair weather gardener so if the spring breezes are blowing, you will probably find me playing in the dirt in my flower garden."
I decided that throughout the year I would make little art cards on 4x6 index cards that I could file in my happiness project. I used the tabbed index cards that were included with the box to create themed sections for my drawer. The art cards may be fancy, they may be super simple, they may even just have some hand journaling- I think it will just depend on the moment. The goal will be to look in my life and the world around me and capture the little things that bring me happiness.
The beginning of the happiness project is the Library Drawer which I covered with the text side of the 7gypsies Conservatory Mesofauna patterned paper. Tucked in my goody box of supplies were some Wonderfall journaling cards by Websters Pages. One of them had the phrase "All My Happiness" which was perfect to cut out and add to the top of the drawer pull. I added Distress Ink (Walnut Stain) and Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint to give it an aged effect.
I decorated each divider card with assorted embellishments to go along the card's theme. Each card has a small strip of patterned paper with a phrase or quote appropriate to the category. I used a vintage typewriter that is sentimental to me to create the text.
Below are all of my tabbed index cards along with the supplies included on each one.
