Baby Girl Mini Album

Warning Very Picture Heavy Post.
This is a mini album for a baby girl.  I made this over a year a ago. i was on a design team and this was one of the unpublished projects.  I can tell I have come a long way since then, but i am trying to share old stuff I have pictures of.

 

I hope you like it. I ended up giving it to a gal my niece works with you had just had a baby.
Have an awesome rest of your day. 

Dishwasher sign

Hi :)
I wanted to jump on and share another project from my time on Paper Craft Island. I can't remember exactly what the challenge was, but I believe it was use red, orange, brown and some stitching. I think....



Anyway, this is a magnetic dishwasher sign, so we always know if the dishwasher is clean or dirty.  It was a magnetic hall pass.It was in the teacher section at Michaels and I just covered over it.

Easy project but no more wondering about the dishwasher.
Have a great day.

The Pinque Peacock Pinquettes :)

Hi Everyone!
I am stopping by with an announcement for you. I am sure you have heard of the company Pinque Peacock.  If not, you will learn about it quickly :) Because I am pleased to announce I am a Pinquette.

 

The owners of the company put out the call and I decided to try. They make a lot of cute stuff like...

Just in case you see something you like here is how you order.

 

 I hope you check the company out along with all the other Pinquettes. I am excited to share their products with you, and enjoy the rest of your day.

SunShine Notebook

Happy Monday.
I am trying to go through and post all the projects I made while on Paper Craft Island. I am trying to remember what i had posted and since I am working on projects that will be posted later this week. I thought I would share this project.



The sun was cut from Simply charmed and I outlined the clouds with silver stickles. The ribbon is from 3 Girl Jam.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Friends of a Feather

Hi Everyone,
I have a card to share with you today. It is my DT day at Getting Cricky.

Here is the card I made. I used the sketch above from Mojo Mondays.

The image I used was by The Paper Shelter click here to check her out.  The sentiment is from K Andrew Designs Crafty Friends. It is no longer available :(

Get Well Soon

I have a get well card to share with you today.
Everything on the card was from my scrap bin.  The image is from MelJen's Designs and I colored it with my Prismacolor pencils.

I don't know why the sentiment looks so light :( I had to take the pic with my phone. I woke up this morning and we had no heat. I had to take my camera batteries and put it in the thermostat so the heat would kick back on.

Altered Art Canvas

Happy Saturday Everyone :)
I have been trying to expand my crafty horizons. Sometimes I feel like a lot of my stuff is the same. So, I came up with this. It started out as this canvas that I got in the grab bags at Michaels.  Here is a before picture.

And here is the after.

This is how I made it....
I painted it black with some artist paint, it is a little thicker than craft paint and since I had it I used it.  The white paper was embossed with a Fiskars texture plate, you can use them in the big shot. If you get a rubber mat. Mine is a plumbing gasket I got for $1 at Lowe's. Anyway. I first added ribbon around the edges of the white with a glue pen. 
I knew I wanted to be able to change out the picture so before I glue it to the canvas I added a paper clip and it is hidden underneath the big cream rose at the top.  All of the flowers are from a wonderful seller on Facebook. The group is called scrapbook deal and the lady's name is Barbara. She is the owner of the group. Her flowers are gorgeous and super reasonably priced.

3Girl Jam Challenge, 3D valentine's project with Ribbon

Make it Monday
Simply Create Too Valentines Day or Hearts

the only change I may make is I might wrap tulle or ribbon around the outside and put  a bow on top to finish it off. I like it like this so I am debating about the tulle. What do you think?
I am going to give this to my daughters religon class teacher for Valentine's day.

Have a great rest of the weekend.

Don't over look grab bags

Hi Everyone,
This post is crafty related but without a project. You know how Michaels often has the grab bags for $2. Well I usually peek at them,but never buy them. I think, "what if you get stuff you won't us"e. Well I will never over look them again.  My mom and I went shopping and were looking and in one bag she saw Squinkies, so for $2 we got that one just for the squinkies. We looked in another bag and she saw some crafty stuff she wanted, so we picked up that one and another one. We take them home and OH MY GOODNESS!!  We found 2 sets of Spellbinders dies and stamps that coordinate, the squinkies and a ton of other stuff. It was about $300 worth of stuff in the 3 bags.  Some it was the leftovers from the $1.50 but there were some big ticket items, a mosaic hurricane, a cheese spreader and dish.  We were shocked at the amazing things, so we went back and got a few more bags.  It was absolutely one of the best deals that we had found. So next time they are definitely on the list to look at.  I will have a project for you later today that started as something from one of the grab bags. I will see if my mom will email the picture. We took a picture after the first trip because we were so amazed at what we got.  Some of the stuff is going in the bin for my 2 year blogaversary prizes.

Enough rambling :)
