Relax at the beach

Hello and long time no craft. I have been struggling with a foot injury and it's stopped a lot of crafting but I got started for Christmas.

 

I made this for my sister in law. She has a beach themed bathroom.  I took a piece of wood and painted it white. I used painters tape to add the stripes. I used foam thickers for the letters and found these adorable K and Co beach stickers at Michaels. I found the mini clothespin in my stash. Easy peasy and hopefully she likes it :)

Wobbling white rose

Happy Friday.

It's my day to post for Action Wobbles.

I altered a composition journal for it.

 

I got this adorable paper at an outlet while in vacation. Then I added my washi tape to cover the binding. The aqua is sticky ribbon from close to my heart. Then the white rose is from michaels and it is on the wobble. I didn't put a name on it, because I'm not sure who I'm going to give this to.

Don't forget to enter the Action Wobbles challenge anything goes and the Pinque Peacock bling challenge. I'm entering this in both challenge.

Who's ready for fun?

Hi Everyone,
This is my second post for the day.

I have a fun project to share. Princess Buttercup joined band. She is playing the flute and she is so excited. So as soon as we knew she was joining I had to order this cute Splendid Swirl from Pinque Peacock.

So I got the frame and painted it.The letters are chipboard that came from a pack from Michaels. The swirl is perfect since it has the music notes in it. I know I was going to add a picture of her with her flute and I think I'm going to send the frame to one set of her grandparents. Just not sure which set yet ;)

Vintage memory board

Hi everyone

I have a memory board to share. I was in an exchange and the person I made this for likes vintage things and she wanted her board to be blues and neutrals. This was so tough cause I don't make vintage styled things.  So here is what I created.

  

I found the door at a Habitat for Humanity store and knew it would be a perfect vintage board. My dad helped my cutting wood the door is attached to and drilling the holes for me. All the hardware is original.  I raided my mom's lace collection which included this vintage lace. We are pretty sure this lace was part of my grandma's craft stash and possibly my great grandma's.  Here are some close ups.

 

I made this flower by wrapping lace around. The bling in the center was an earring that was my great grandma's.

 

So I threaded the blue lace through the holes of the cream and stapled them to the board. I made the paper flowers from a spellbinders die.

I hope my partner likes it. I'm waiting to hear :)

Flute fund

Hi everyone,

I have a fun Pinque Peacock project to share today. Princess Buttercup started playing the flute. We found one used and she is saving up by doing chores to pay me back for some of it.

So here's what I made.

  

So the jar was a candle jar and I washed it and took the label off. I got this cute butterflies paper stack at Joann and I used those papers. I spray painted the lid and then I used a spellbinders set to cut the labels. I inked everything and used my Xyron sticker maker to stick the labels to the jar. The letters are from October Afternoon. The bling was left over from my July Crafty Club Kit and I added some twine. The perfect finishing touch was my music embellishments from Pinque Peacock. I glued them on and then added some glitter to make them match the jar. Hope you like it.

Have a great day!

Here's the Story

Happy Friday.
I have a fun action wobbles project to share with you today.

So I found this red journal and I thought it needed to be altered.  I made the background with white cardstock and washi tape. I just kept layering it. Then I stamped the mustache and the sentiment. It's from a Teresa Collins set.  I punched it out with a punch and then glittered up the mustache and added the button. the whole circle is up on a wobble.

I love how it turned out. I plan on entering this into the Action Wobbles Challenge wonderful washi. I hope you join us.
Have a great weekend.

Pinque Peacock Crafty kit club

I am lucky enough to be one of the first people to have gotten the new Pinque Peacock mini crafty kit.

Here is a sample of some of the goodies.

 

So, I got kit A and I forgot to take a picture, but my kit had the paper mache pencil box, 1 sheet of 6x6 paper, 6 approx 6x12 sheets of tissue paper, 3 flowers, a mini mister, a cool metal leaf, bling, a little ribbon and a bottle cap. 

To be honest I was a little scared. Only 1 piece of paper I didn't know what to do. My paint and glue were the only supplies I used not in the kit.

So here is what I came up with...

I started by painting it green and while the paint was dry on the top I smoothed the tissue paper on it.  On a few sides I mixed pink and green paint before adding the tissue paper.  I sealed it all with Mod Podge,  I wasn't sure how to create the look I wanted. I felt the 3 flowers werent enough to fill the top, so I made the other flowers out of my leftover tissue paper.

Here is a close up of the flowers.

These are the sides and the back.

I was so nervous the whole project but I love how it turned out. This is what I love about the crafty kit club. This isn't my usual style and it pushed me to think outside the box and push my crafty limits. I hope you get your kit today and don't forget to share what you make.

Uncle Sam Treat Jar

Happy 4th of July! I have a fun patriotic project for you today.

First I have to share my fun news. I am now a member of the action wobbles design team! Today is my first official post.

  

I started with a mason jar. I put Mod Podge about half way up the jar and then sprinkled glitter on it. I added some gemstone around the center of the  jar. I added some acrylic stars at the top. I found this red twine in the bottom of my box of ribbons and it was perfect. The final touch was Uncle Sam. I added a wobble to him and off he goes.

I hope you like him. Don't forget to enter the Action Wobbles challenge Here

Hi Everyone! Thank you for hopping with us. It's works out well that our patriotic hop landed on Father's Day. My husband, who is an amazing Daddy, was also in the Army and we have lots of military stuff in our house. I wanted to make him a special gift for Father's Day. I saw something like this on How Does She, but I tweaked it and made it my own style.

I placed my wood cutting order with my dad :) he keeps his scrap wood so he can build me stuff. He actually screwed the 2 pieces of wood together for stability. I painted it with paint from Home Depot. It is wall paint but it was cheaper than craft paint. I used red and blue paper and then the middle star section is fabulous star mesh from Pinque Peacock, and I just put plain white behind it to make it stand out. I added the thickers letters and then some twine. I added some clothes pins and some buttons from  my stash and the final touch was a large fabric covered button from Punque Peacock. That is my project...

Giant Clothes Pin

Hi Everyone,
Yesterday was my day to share at Pinque Peacock and I didn't get a chance to share this yesterday.

 I picked this giant clothespin up for $.05 at a craft sale and I turned it into my adorable photoholder.

Here is a close up of the gorgeous splendid swirl.  Hope you enjoy.

Happy Hop day :) You should have hopped over from Donna, if not stop back at Pinque Peacock to start the hop. There are only 4 stops today.

On to the project....

I have to admit I am horrible about keeping track of birthdays and anniversarys. So I decided to create a little notebook so I can have everything in one spot so I can't possibly forget.  I took a mini notebook covered in in some pre-embossed paper. I added my ribbon and my Layered Garden Beauty from Pinque Peacock. The letters are from October Afternoon. I thought the colors added some fun. Added a little bling and it was done.

Don't forget to hop over to Miranda, but before you go check on the info on the prize...

Pinque Peacock Tutorial

Happy Sunday  :) I created a tutorial for Pinque Peacock.  This is my project for the day.  This started as a CD.

I covered my CD with paper from Little Yellow Bicycle. It is a page kit called Love. I used the same sheet of paper just both sides. Then the heart is one of the embellishments from the kit. I added an angel from Pinque Peacock. Some twine and a mini clothespin to hold a picture. I created this based off a sketch.

 Head over to Pinque Peacock and check out the tutorial on a few different ways to use an embossing folder.

Altered Picture Holder.

Happy Friday.
I have a new project to share.  I am lucky to live near a few Archiver's now that they are going out of business they have had a few good deals.
I picked this up for $.99 It is a wooden box frame/wall hanging.

I used this Basic Grey Sketch to get me started.

I turned it into this...

I painted the box a light green. All the papers I used are from Fancy Pants Designs. I used a 6x6 pad called time for Spring. All the papers are from that. I used a flower punch to create the flower. The brown, orange and blue papers were embossed with dots.I cut the heart, circle and scallop on the cricut. I added some twine and buttons from my stash. It is actually a picture holder. Hidden behind the flower is a paper clip to hold pics. I am going to enter this in the Pumpkin Spice blog Challenge Bling, bows or Button, and Cut it up Through the Woods

You are one of a kind journal

Happy Friday,

I have journal to share with you today.

All the papers are from Love Story by Lori Whitlock. It's from Echo Park. I got the whole kit from Pumpkin Spice.   I also used the stickers from the kit.

. I got journal at Goodwill for $.99. I just ripped off the papers on it and redecorated it my way. 

I am entering this in the Pumpkin Spice challenge use holiday paper

Have a great weekend.

If you are hopping on over from Pinque Peacock you are in the right place, if not head on over to Pinque Peacock to start the day off right.  I of course altered something. I don't know why buy lately I look for stuff to alter. This project started out as a spicy trail mix container...LOL I think my husband thinks I'm crazy keeping his trash.

 So the container was sort of like a mini pringles container and I just wiped it out really well. I got these papers in a Christmas stack at Michaels.  The cover I used a scallop punch and then a circle punch to decorate it.  The container part I covered and then chalked the edges of the candy cane striped piece. I thought that paper was perfect to go with the candy canes in the flower.

 Here is a close up of my layered garden beauty and my cool bow. :) The bow is a 4 loop bow. I tied it normally then I did a second bow right on top from the long tails. I hope that makes sense. I thought it was a cool way to give a background to the flower. 

 I used a punch to make the mini tag and then I got the sentiment from Stampin up way back in the 90's LOL They were my sisters back in the day.  The ink was from Ranger.  That was it. I hope you like it. Don't forget to hop over to Miranda. If you get lost the whole hop is listed below. 

Also I am entering this into a few challenges.
