I have been SO busy with my new school, DREAM! I am home this weekend trying to take care of myself. I originally planned a trip to PA to see my family but made the tough decision today to stay in NYC and take care of me. I have been dealing with a terrible earache and am feeling a bit under the weather. TRYING so hard not to get sick...

Enough woe and whining...
I will be updating my blog this weekend and hope to update it much more often. DREAM is quite a commitment but one that is is so important to me. Thanks for understanding and check back this weekend for new projects from THE MECCA in New York City.

CHARMING STAMP SET Picture Frame

9/13/2009 06:55:00 PM / Posted by Heidi Bound / comments (1)

This is the final post for the RemARKables Holiday Blog Tour! It was so much fun. This is my favorite project so far--yes, I love the project itself but more importantly the pictures of many of the amazing GOTHAM CITY STAMPERS from the Stampin' Up! Convention 2009.

For this frame, I used a paper mache frame and painted it brown. Once the paint dried, it was so much fun to paint it all over with CHAMPAGNE MIST SHIMMER PAINT. My friend, Eileen, said it looked like fabric once that dried. I then used VERY VANILLA CRAFT INK to stamp the flowers from the CHARMING STAMP SET. The butterfly as well the "CRAFT" piece of the art are also stamped using stamps from that set. I can't wait for the SIMPLY ADORNED JEWELRY to go on sale so I can use that elegant set for that!

Major shout out to my amazing team members that are featured in these pictures:
Melissa, Eileen, Pat, JennyB, Laurel, Corris, Gayle, Yvonne and Jen. You gals are amazing and have truly touched my life! HUGS!

An Altered Gift

7/05/2009 02:19:00 PM / Posted by Heidi Bound / comments (3)

This is a project I made as a gift for my friend and downline, Yvonne! It features some (retired) Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper. AND...it also shows off the wonderful line of Sticky Cuts and Stampin' Glitter that are both available in the new catalog!

What I love about this project is that I could pick up a really inexpensive picture frame and alter it. With the amazing products from Stamin' Up! and a great picture, I have the perfect gift. All of the wonderful ladies pictured in this frame are in my downline--(from left to right) Jen Nagel, Me (Heidi Davenport), Corris Little, Yvonne Yui, Eileen Bellomo and Bo Doodles (ok, he's NOT a team member but SHOULD be!) I hope you enjoy this and please leave a comment. :)

A Special Gift from Eileen!

I always adore the jewelry that my friend, Eileen, creates. She always shows up wearing a new, stunning piece and I drool! I dropped enough hints about really, really wanting one of her newest works of art. Recently, this pendant showed up in the mail. On the back is a bail that acts as a pin as well as a loop for a necklace. Thanks, Eileen! You always inspire me!

Beautiful Band of Flowers

4/16/2009 04:44:00 PM / Posted by Heidi Bound / comments (0)

The newest and coolest thing to come out of the Mecca! I saw an idea sort of like this in a crafting book and HAD to make these for my nieces, Reghan and Delayne! I can't wait for my sister, Hilary, to get them and give these to the girls. I MUST see pictures!
This one started as a simple purple satin band. I loved altering it with lots of ribbons and beautiful silk flowers.
These are such spring and GIRLY colors. I loved combining different colors in the same way they we would see them outside in a wild patch of spring flowers.
