Sandie McCarthy

Hey! My name is Sandie McCarthy-Roberts, and I'm happily married to the Love of my life... Gary Roberts. We have one amazingly beautiful 17 year old son, Dana Joseph Maximillian! Dana works part time as a television news reporter, and is quite good. He's off to University next year. Gary and I? We own and operate an Advertising / Marketing Agency. We've been doing this for a number of years. We hang our hats here in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. The best part of owning my own business? When I need time off to do something else? My boss... me... is very generous. :) I've been scrapbooking all my life. Properly? For about 12 or 13 years. I love scrapbooking. I love creating pages, and altered articles, cards, organizing projects and mixed media art... whatever. I never tried anything in mixed media before coming to Bad Girls... and I've been SO inspired since being there, that it's opened my creative side up completely! It's all just been so much fun! Besides all of this, I'm also a writer. I love to create in any capacity. We have some gorgeous animals in our home... Two sweet cats full of attitude, called Disney and Jaguar... And lastly? I am owned by the delicious problematic puggle of perpetual need, named Beauregard.

Leslie Cranwill

When I was younger a friend of mine once told me that she only dreamed in black and white...I was horrified! :) The best part of dreaming for me is the intensity of it, the emotions, the realism and the color! The more of those qualities my dream has the more likely I am to remember it upon waking. I am very happy to report that I dream in full technicolor!

"I DREAM IN COLOR"

I searched everywhere for the buttons used in this project, craft stores, my local antique shop and even broke into my mom's button box. I wanted to get the look of a little elf house, full of color and imagination with all my colorful dreams spiraling up and out of the roof.

Materials Used:

100's of buttons, some vintage.
Wire
Glue
