It's been forever since I have been to my blog much less posted, I think about it all of the time and I'm going to try and post something at least every week, more if possible! This is a card that I saw on Pinterest and I made it my own with K&Company Confetti. I could not find the instructions so I winged it. This was fun especially with the die cuts and border strips that match the paper.
I need to search around to find some instructions for this card so that I can make it with the correct dimensions and recreate it often.

It's been awhile since I posted, still working on the commissioned scrapbooks and have not had a lot of time to make projects. This is a canvas that I made for a friend for her Birthday. I hope she likes it! I used "The Girls Paperie" kit that I picked up at Tuesday Mornings. They still have some available in all of the styles. Can't beat this deal! Thanks for visiting my blog!

I used Prisma pencils and mineral spirits to color in the image then went over it with Clear stickles. I love Northwood stamps, the image is crisp witha lot of space for coloring. I lifted this idea from For Keep Sakes LSS in St Louis, they have a wonderful store and blog, check them out.

Just My Type Birthday Card



I love this stamp from MFT, so versital with so many sayings. I found this paper at an estate sale, it was a HUGE binder full, I think that it was probably a set that you can find on one of the shopping networks from years ago. Can't beat the thrift stores and Garage Sales!!

I made this Get Well Card for a good friend who is going into the hospital tomorrow. I used the Authentique Splended collection, wow, what great papers! They are all one sided so I don't feel like I am wasting one side of the paper when making my selecttion. The digital stamp is from "Some Odd Girl" Love these stamps too!

Halloween Casket Mini, Through the Years

I really enjoyed working on this album to showcase pictures of all of our Halloween Parties through out the years. I purchased the casket at a Flee Market a few weeks ago and knew that I wanted to make something right away.



This casket was already stained a dark brown, I wanted to lighten it up a little and provide some glimmer.

I painted Mission Bells Brown all over the casket, since it is a stain, it went on evenly and the wood soaked it up.


Using my finger I buffed on Gold Rub and Buff

The last step in staining the casket was to brush Espresso Glimmer Glam all over the casket

I used Hogs Wart Orange from Lindy's Stamp Gang to brush some stain onto the crow that I purchased at Michaels.

These are the colors that I used to stain the flowers from I am Roses and SA Crafter.

Vintage Altered Record




My Daughter wanted me to alter this record into a Shabby Chic wall hanging. I love this picture of her and her boy friend and thought that she would like to have somthing with them togher. I used one of the Girl's Paperie collections that I picked up at Tuesday Mornings. Those kits are such a great deal, I was lucky to find the last one :-) Thanks for visiting my blog, have a great week!
