Too Cute Picture Holder

Hello :)
I have a cute altered project to share with you today. A few weeks ago my church had its fall festival and I happened to see these cube photo holders. The person who donated them had covered them with paper, and they were only marked $.25 so I bought all 3 of them knowing that I was going to be redoing them.

So here is the before. I had already taken the swirly part out before I thought of taking the picture.





Here is the after...



I took all the paper off and then did some light sanding since I couldn't get all the paper and glue off. I painted the whole thing white including the bottom. I did 2 coats.  All the papers are October Afternoon the Midway Collection. I used Tilt a Whirl, Cotton Candy, and Duck Pond. I cut 6 pieces of paper and then inked the edges with a chalk ink.  I adhered everything with my ATG. The words are October Afternoon stickers from the Midway Collection, too. Then I added some October Afternoon buttons from the 5 and dime collection. 

Here are some close ups.







 

  


The top and bottom are the same paper and then 2 of the sides have the same paper with the mustaches, and then the other 2 sides have the words.  It was a simple process but it took a while to get the paper and such off.
I really like the colors of this collection it is so cheerful. I hope you liked it too.

It's my day at Pinque Peacock

Woohoo! I love my Pinque Peacock day! :)  I'm a little crazy today. Anyway I have a super cute altered mini notebook to share.

All the paper on this is from October Afternoon. I got lucky to go to the warehouse sale that OA put on. It was crazy tons and tons of deals. I will have to take a picture of all the deals I got.  It was a lot of fun.  Anyway.  This paper I don't know what line it was from. They had a bulk paper section and it was sooo cheap so we just grabbed.  I think they were the samples from when they sent the paper to be printed, because it was both patterns on the same side of the paper. I hope that makes sense. My guess is this paper was from the Rocket Age line. The back paper was space themed.  Then the stickers are from OA as well. I got so lucky, they were a manilla envelope full for $8 and I think we got 10 different sets and each set had 3 pages. So tons of sticker letters.  My mom and I made the ribbon and then I added the perfect touch of the fabric covered button from Pinque Peacock.

I hope you enjoy.

I am also entering this into Pumpkin Spice Challenge, use primary colors

Teacher Gift Necklace, Plus Giveaway

I am not feeling very well today, but I still wanted to put up a project.  My daughter is doing a Summer Academy this summer and I wanted to have a cute gift to give her teachers at the end of the month.

It was a really simple project.  I cut the paper to 1"x1" and used the rub ons for the letters.  Put the glass tile on top of the pape , and then trim the little overhang off.  Put the glass tile aside and put a mini glue dot on the back and started wrapping the twine around it.  Make sure there is excess twine to wrap around the front.


Side view to see the twine tied up the side.



Using craft glue to attach the paper to the tile make to get glue around the twine, and squeeze.  This part gets a little messy but easy to clean up after. :) 

After the image is all glued down wrap the twine around the front of the glass tile and tie a bow.  Flip the tile over and attach the bail using craft glue.

That's it Super Duper Easy!  I just an not sure what I want to do for the necklace...any ideas?


Giveway!!!

I just want to thank everyone who has looked at my blog and especially those who have become followers.  So I will be giving away the supplies to make this pendant.  You will receive a glass tile, bail, twine, a mini glue dot and a few different papers.  Just so you have options.  :)
