Recycle it

Hello my sweet friend

Happy Wednesday!  I hope you all had a great Memorial weekend.  I was on 

vacation last week and had a great time.  Visiting Williamsburg VA and it's

history was very exciting.  So enough about me, this week my DT project for 

Whimsical Designs is "Recycle it."  Our challenge was to 

create any project and use something you would normally throw out.

So I decided to make a smash book and use a cereal box for my front and back

cover.  I also recycled old composition paper I found in my daughter's closet

from when she was in High School.  LOL  she's 23 now!!

My smash book / Junk journal is 6 X 9.  I used Mod Podge to adhere the paper to the

cereal box.  I then cut the composition paper to the same size.  The inner inserts were

old scrap paper I had in my stash.  I added a chain and some charms, including the keys

which are from Micheal's dollar bin.  Both sentiments are from Whimsical Fun Vol. 1

My YT video for this project is HERE.

Lets see what you have to recycle. 

Our Sponsor this week is: Inky Impressions - $10 gift certificate

I hope you enjoyed my Smash books / Junk journals.

Have a great day!

"Mix it up"

Happy Wednesday!!

How is everyone?  Great I hope :-)  As you know, it's time for another

Whimsical Designs  challenge.  Today the challenge is "Mix it up".

We had to create a project using some type of mixed media.

Here is my project....

I first glued down some canvas paper to my tag using Mod Podge.

I then sprayed some of Lindys spray.  Ocean Breeze blue, Plumeria Pink

and Aloha Avocado.  I also used some stencils with molding paste.

Flowers are IAM and Wild Orchids.  I cut the chair with my Cricut using the

Heritage cartridge, which I then sprayed with Sugar Plum Fairy Glimmer Mist.

The sentiment is from Whimsical fun Vol.1.  The image I've had for a while
 so I don't remember where I got it from.  And then to finish it off some lace at

the bottom, and trim on top.  I gave it to my mom along with her Mother's Day

present and she loved it.  Yay!

Our sponsor this week is Tabitha's Shop.  2 digi paper stacks of winner's choice.

Take care my friends and I can't wait to see what type of mix media you will

be creating.  I will be looking.  Don't for get to tell me what you think of mine.

hugs my friends,

Graphicat Sketch #26

Hello my friends

I hope every one had a fun weekend and a great Mother's Day.

My weekend was wonderful.  I spent it with my beautiful family.  And now it's

a new week.  Yay!  So... we are starting it off with a new sketch from

Graphicat Sketches.

This is the sketch we had to follow...

And this is my card following the sketch....

The paper I used is from the 6 x 6 paper pad from Basic Grey and it's call

"Konnichiwa".  The middle flower is from IAR and the other two my sister gave 

to me in a RAK.  The metal embellishment you see, I purchased from Monica

at the scrap yard on YT.

That's about it.  I hope you liked my sentiment.  It's from Graphicat.

Take care and don't forget to have fun!

Alter it

Happy Wednesday!

How is everyone?  Good I hope.  Yay!  Half the week is over.  Just a little

more to go.  Well you also know what Wednesday is right?  Yes another

Whimsical Wednesday challenge.  This week we were challenged to alter

something.  I got this clip in a RAK once.  I think it was from my friend

Friday.  I've been wanting to alter it for a while, and this is what I did.

I used the "Fairy Rymes"  6 x 6 paper from Prima.  Just beautiful paper.

The flower was from my stash, and the birdies are from Recollection.

And that's it.  A very simple but cute project.

Our Sponsor this week is V's Sweet Ideas.

The prize is a $10 gift certificate

Well I hope you all have a great rest of the week.

See you soon.

Bike Ride Sophie and Lucky

Happy Monday Everyone

I hope you all started the week with a big smile.  If you didn't then this should 

make you smile.  My DT project this month with Sweet Nothing Stamp Co.

is one of our new images that was just release this month.  I used Bike Ride

Sophie and Lucky.  How cute!!!  

I needed to make a Mother's Day card for my Mother in Law, and at the same

time I had to make something for my project.  Well these guys look like hubby and

I and so I though it was perfect.  She lives in Florida, so inside I wrote that

we biked all the way to Florida to wish her a happy Mother's Day.  She loves my

cards so I though she would love that.

I used the Romance Novel paper from Prima.   All flowers are from IAM.

The gold one you see is a button, and I believe it's from Joann's.  Then of course

my little birdie from Recollection.  Oh let's not forget the lace from my stash.

I hope she likes it.  Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful Mother's out there.

Big hugs

A Box for Mommy

Hello my precious bloggers

This is my 3rd post in one week.  Roarrrrrr!!  I've been multi tasking like

crazy.  Working, helping with the grand kids and pouncing in my Den

creating and altering.  Life is good.  

You should be coming to me from Sherain's Blog.  If you didn't then you 

want to make sure you started with Elsa.

Well today my cubbie friends and I at the Den with Just a few designs have 

been very busy.  Our Mama Cub Elsa has challenged us once again.  

This month she challenge us to create a box for Mother's Day.
We are calling it "A Box for Mommy".

Any box, any size, what ever we wanted.  

I decided to altered this box which is 7 1/2 by 5 3/4.

As you can see I used the Graphic 45 paper "A Ladies Diary."  I think as soon as 

I heard the word box, I knew what paper I was going to use right away.

All the flowers are from IAM.  I added a little feather to match the feather in

the ladies hat.  The corner medal and the key are from Monica, over at the 

Scrap Yard on FB.  The lace was given to me but I can't remember who.  

Sorry.  Than a little bling from Recollection.  Oh yes, I also added some

legs to it to give it a lift.  The legs and edges are painted with

Acrylic paint call "Metallic 14 karat gold."

I will be giving this to my daughter from her daughters for Mother's Day.

Which is why I placed their picture in the middle of the box.

I hope she likes it.  Here is my You Tube video on this project.

Well friends, I am the last one in the line up so I hope you all had fun pouncing

into all the Dens.  And I hope we inspired you to create a gift box

for someone special this Mother's Day or any day.  Once again in behave

of our Den we thank you for hopping along.

Below is the line up in case you need it.  

Take care my friend.

"Bling"

Hello Beautiful Bloogers

It's Wednesday!! The middle of the week!  To me it means,  just a 

couple more days for the weekend.  Humm do I sound excited?  I have 

no idea why because I do have to work on Saturday, but I don't mind it

at all.  I like it and it's still "the weekend!!"  Wooo Hooo!

So for today's project with Whimsical Designs, our theme is "Bling."

That's an easy one, right?  I made this birthday card for my grand daughters

to give to their Mom for Mommy's Birthday.  They loved it and so

did my daughter.

And here it is.....

The paper that I used is from the 12 x 12 stack "The Neapolitan Collection"

by Recollections.  The banner is from the paper also which I stamped the letters

using my wooden stamps.   Flowers are from Michael's, turtle from Jolee's Boutique.

The little strawberries are eye lets. 

BLING! yes,  I added bling in 3 different places.  Even a little one on her bow.

The image I used is from our Sponsor this week.  Her name is

Strawberry Emma.  They let us pick one.  OMG, There were so many

 to pick from but I loved this one.  Soooo cute!!

Sponsor: The Paper Nest Dolls - 3 copics of winner's choice,
