Sweet N' Bold DIY Decor



Hello again, MBT fans!

Welcome to the blog this lovely Thursday. Up today are two fantastic projects by Deb Edwards, and Sara McDowall. While each of their projects are very different from each other, they offer us some amazing techniques. And, lucky for us we get the first look at all the amazing details the girls put into their projects.

First up is Deb's beautiful Altered Tim Holtz Clock. This clock is filled with tons of texture and soft flowing colors. I'd say that all the details are simply exquisite. Now lets see what she has to say.

Thank you I had so much fun creating this Altered Clock. The original color was a silver, so what I did was I used my molding paste and covered the whole clock with the paste and then sprayed with Lindys. Let that dry and now the real fun begins with decorating using tons MB's Treasurista's embellishments. Hope ya'll like it. 





 Supply List
Idla-ology-Assemblage Clock
Shabby Chic Resin Treasures Cupid 
White Cosmo Daisy 
Tulips 
Sm Gardenias 
Mini 10mm Open Roses 
 Lindy's Stamp Gang

Now lets feast our eyes on a Mixed Media Canvas Sara created using various MB's Treasurista products. We love the way she blended the bold colors with all that texture, giving it a rustic spring feeling. And although they are deeper, rich colors, this does remind me that spring is just around the corner, and i can't wait. We have a special treat too, a video tutorial for this beautiful work of art.

Lindy's Stamp Gang Industrial Chic set

Introducing Gina Ortiz

Today's an exciting day! Not just because its Friday but because we have an announcement! We are excited to be adding a new fantastic guest designer to our MBT family. She has amazing talent, and a knack for thinking outside the box. You may also know her from her amazing work through youtube and a site she runs, My Scrap Room. So without further adieu, lets welcome:



(Guest Designer Feb-Apr)
Hi, my name is Gina, also known as Scrappinology in the scrap book world. I reside in California. I have been crafting since I was a child and scrapbooking before there were scrapbook supplies to be had. I used to spend hours cutting images from gift wrap paper to use to adorn my pages of my albums. Now I have more supplies than I know what to do with. (But hey, don’t we all?) I cannot wait to play with all the products that are in shop. I love all kinds of crafting but I would say mini books and altered items are by far my favorite. I have not been published, but I did win first place in a Martha Stewart Be Inspired contest and another on line site where I also won first place. I own an online social Scrapbooking website My Scrap Room. I have been or am on other design teams but I am really looking forward to working with you, Misty and all the team!
Please check out her awesome creativity at:
Gina's YT: Scrappinology

We want to thank you for checking out our wonderful new designer! Make sure to show her some love. Come back tomorrow for tons of amazing creations by our Designer Bona Rivera-Tran. She will just blow you away.

Every Friday, we will feature our favorite fan projects from the previous week, so make sure to share with us your creations any of the following ways:
or anywhere else and just mention that you used products from MB's Treasurista! Tomorrow we will have incredible crafts for our Creative Inspiration Event and a fun Teach Me Tuesday tutorial on the blog! We hope you'll stop by and see us! Have a delightful day

We always encourage you to post your creations to our Facebook page or Craft Community! We'd love to see what you've been creating with MB's Treasurista!
