Use my stash challenge

Hello! I have challenged myself to use my stash and create all the cards in this Micheals mega card base pack.. I did 2.. Many more to go!! 

Hey hey! Happy Saturday!

I have 2 cards to share.. The first one is using Heidi Swapp sugar chic paper. The second is a birthday card using We R Memory Keepers paper. Great to be using up some of my stash!! 

Welcome 2015! New projects to start the year!

Hello again! 

I wanted to share more projects that I have been working on. First is an altered chalkboard I purchased unfinished at Michaels. It is now a rather large magnet for my refrigerator. I used acrylic paint.. Grunge board pieces and prima bobble and flowers...

 Next I made some pocket style cards for my Christmas pictures using lots of wood veneers and Pink Paislee paper...

Last is my favorite project..an altered composition book..this will be my scrappy journal/planner. Since I do albums of a mix of 12x12 and various pocket style pages I need to plan the album so I don't end up with blank pages. I used lots of distress ink and prima romantic paper. I have to say anything in this style paper is now in my shopping list! I love the beautiful distressing and blending :) I used a paper doily I die cut and a MME. Journal card. I used grunge board and prima elements. 

My next project I have on my craft desk is a card...see you soon! 

What have I been up to?

hello!!

I have neglected my scrappy blog over the past year! It is because I had another crafty venture that kept me busy... I was making girls tutus and hair accessories for sales. I loved it but I decided that my heart is not in it as much as paper crafts and it neglected my scrappy passion. So I am going to share the prijects I have worked on over the year but did not blog. My scrappy mojo is back and I will share those projects later today :-)


One happy tutu customer!

I hosted a baby shower at work...handmade the banner...

Made a onesie book for all guests to give well baby wishes and baby tips :-)

Over 2014 I participated in many craft shows selling my bows!

I have been busy...I am so excited to be scrapping and paper crafting more! I will post my scrappy projects later today.. Talk to you soon!

My First Canvas

What can I say I Love Art!! I wanted to try painting for quite sometime. My friend bought a condo and talked about needing wall art so I saw a perfect opportunity! This canvas was covered in liquitex sand medium.. Then I used Martha Stewart paints to do the blue ombré finish. I loved the result and so did he :)

REpurposed School Uniform

My dear friend had an out grown private school uniform dress… She wanted matching hair things and wala I whipped up 9 headbands, 2bows and 2 pony streamers.. I love how they turned out!

Furniture Refinishing

I started another hobby! I love making old or not so fashionable pieces into beautiful furniture in my home. Project number one was an old computer table.. The paint was so bad it scratching off! So I sanded and painted the first coat in black (from home depot ) then I mixed a coat of black paint, plaster of Paris and water to make a grey white wash.. When try I distressed the edges with sand paper and added a coat of wax.

The second project I bought on super clearance at target. It was a mustard yellow– yuck! It had some dings I just used the power sander and it was ready to paint. I painted black.. Distressed the edges and waxed.. I love the new look!!
