Christmas in New York City

January 28th, 2012 by Heidi Bound received No Comments »

Yep, you guessed it–my sisters, brother-in-law and Sweet Reghan came to NYC to visit Marty & I a week before Christmas. We had only a few hours together but managed to pack them FULL of sightseeing activities. These pictures were taken at a favorite eating spot of ours, Ellen’s Stardust Diner, where the waitstaff sings to you! Such a blast! It has quickly become a favorite place for Reghan-all that singing and theatrics are right up her alley. I knew when the December Swirlydoos Kit arrived it was perfect for these pictures.



In the kit were some clear acrylic ornaments-they were screaming for some alcohol inks and bling. I squirted holiday alcohol inks (which came in one of the add ons for this kit) all over the ornaments. Once they were dry, I flipped them over. I didn’t want the slight texture from the inks to be obvious. I then decorated each ornament differently with microbeads, glitter and Stickles. I love making embellishments that are very “me” to personalize my pages.

Butterflies Mini Book Page

January 21st, 2012 by Heidi Bound received No Comments »


Another 4X4 mini book page! I LOVE doing this with my friends…it is so excited to make these little gifts. I loved getting my pages for my birthday & am putting them together in a banner which I will be hanging in my art studio. I promise to take pictures and post them once I have it all put together and hanging in a special spot.

Bird Mini Book Page

January 21st, 2012 by Heidi Bound received No Comments »


Remember quite some time ago I wrote that my friends share 4X4 mini book pages for each our birthdays? This is one that I sent recently to my artsy friend, Eileen Bellomo of the amazing blog, Art Saves Lives. She is one of the most creative and TALENTED people I know. I am addicted to using corrugated cardboard in projects like this and this one is no exception! Happy Birthday my wonderful friend, Eileen!

Artsy Flowers in An Art Journal

January 20th, 2012 by Heidi Bound received 1 Comment »


Another fun art journal creation! I have a great tip: I love putting cardstock or ugly “not-so-lovely anymore” patterned paper in my spray bucket. Then, when I spray a project with Glimmer Mist (or other FAB sprays) the paper gets covered in the color and shimmer. I have oodles of these colorful papers and decided one day to run them through my Big Shot using the Tattered Florals die from Tim Holtz. I was left with a basket of gorgeous paper flowers. I got the idea to use Matte Medium and cover the pages of the art journal with the flowers. THEN, I COULD NOT STOP! I used more flowers and used this same simple technique to make a 12X12 sheet of paper that I will use in another project. This would be cool with any die in your collection-can you imagine my own paper made from butterflies or maybe birds? Stay tuned for more…

Happy 2012 Art Journal

January 19th, 2012 by Heidi Bound received No Comments »


Here is another addition to the art journal that I create with some of my artsy peeps! These pages were inspired by a New Year’s advertisement from Anthropologie. I thought it would be fun to recreate that ad AND, of course, I loved the trumpet. Mine turned out a little “comic book-ish” but Marty says he LOVES it. The confetti is just some cut up scraps with some fun bits from a product by Suze Weinberg-can’t remember what it’s called. There are a few little banners in there that I have had in my stash forever. You just never know when those things will come in handy!!!

In Love With Corrugated Cardboard!

January 15th, 2012 by Heidi Bound received No Comments »


This page was SO much fun to make. I think I had to make about a dozen of them. These were for a swap that I did a few months ago. What I love the most about this is the use of corrugated cardboard. I LOVE using cardboard with paints & sprays in my projects. It is really fun to look at items differently-bubble wrap, protective wraps around wine bottles or fruit, bags from potatoes. These items make great stamps for texture or stencils. What are you items that you use in your art that are a little funky or outside the box?
