I wanted to make an extra special project for all of you today so I designed my own Glass Door Cabinet.

I used "A Proper Gentleman" line, medium weight chipboard, Clear Polyester Super Sheets, Shadowbox die, Gold Spines by 7 Gypsies (Discontinued), Victorian Shrine pieces, Metal Brads and Hinges.  Label die and punch, Corked Vials, Antique door plate and knob, wooden beads, Black acrylic paint.
A closer look.

I've used a couple adhesives to hold it all together.  Helmar 450 Quick Dry works well for the chipboard and paper.  Beacon holds all the metal and polyester sheets in place.

I hope you're enjoying the hop and be sure to stop next week to see my "Ladies' Diary" Wardrobe!

A Proper Gentleman's Old Fashioned Main Street

Hello friends!  Wishing you all a Happy New Year and hoping all your dreams and goals come true in 2013!  I'm not sure if we'll be celebrating or staying home this year.  Most years we have stayed home tocelebrate the birthday of our youngest, Zach. who will be 16.  We adopted Zach and his three siblings, Marnie, Ernie and Kim when Zach was two.  Marnie and Ernie are off to college, Kim and Zach are the only kiddo's living at home.  I'm looking forward to being empty nesters in a few years :)
The Angela Holt Designs Creative Design Team has been working with on some awesome projects that are sure to inspire you.  Guess who the sponsor is for our first projects?  Graphic 45!  My favorite company and we'll be using their products through January!  Woot!

I made an extra so I could get you all in the mood for some Graphic 45 goodness!  Stop in tomorrow for a look at my house with working lights and " A Ladies' Diary" paper line.

I've used "A Proper Gentleman" by Graphic 45" and have used wooden houses to build an old fashioned main street.  The windows are Retro Cafe Art and I've embellished with some Tim Holtz.

Living In A Bubble: Steampunk Style

Hello friends!  This is my first post as a member of Hobby Baby Design Team.  I'm so excited to be part of this team and have an opportunity to work with these amazing products!  The Globes are so much fun to work with and they can be used in altered art projects as well as framed projects. The NEW chipboard gears were the perfect size for the head trinket.  I heat embossed the gears with Micro Copper Powder.   Globecraft Memories is generously offering 25% off your entire purchase!  Use coupon code TS25.

I started with a cardboard birdhouse.

Use the Oval Frame as a template and cut an oval in the front of the house.

Paint the house, base and the head with black acrylic paint.

Paint the spigot knob and roof with copper acrylic paint.  Let dry.

Heat emboss random areas of the knob using copper powder.

Heat emboss the chipboard gears.

Ink chipboard frame and stamp script.

Using Crop-a-dile, punch holes in the center and insert a battery operated tea light.

Glue the tea light in place.  

Glue metal gears and chipboard gears to head trinket.  Glue over the tea light.  Glue the Globe over the head trinket.

Using Glastique, adhere a beaded chain around the outer edge of the globe.

Add corsage pins, charms and chain to the base.

Insert the spigot knob in the base of the house.

Using glue for metal, adhere clock parts and gadgets to the house.

Make Steampunk words for the roof.

Glue into place on the roof

I painted coffee stir stick with black and copper acrylic paint.  I added silver rings to the stirs and glues them to the house.  Black on the roof and copper on the house.

Glue sticks to the roof and house using a Quick Dry Adhesive.
