I created this layout for the Scrappers Throwdown at my LSS For Keeps Sake, nothing like waiting until the last minute, it is due tomorrow. I used the Websters Pages Life's Portrait collection for this, I love these papers!

October Charm Swap **Closed**

Please join me in October Charm Swap. This is the 5th month that I will be hosting this and it is a lot of fun and addicting! I absolutely love charms that hang off tags, mini’s, pages etc. and can’t seem to get enough of them. There are so many kinds available that it is impossible to collect them all.
Please comment on my Youtube or my Blog and include your EMAIL ADDRESS so that it is easier to send you updates.
This swap will be open to everyone to join. (US, Canada and International)
This will be a 7+1 swap, you will get one back.
• Each Charm should include a swivel clasp, garment pin or something to attach it to a tag or mini.
• A charm, either handmade or store bought (attached to the garment pin or swivel clasp)
• A bead or button.
• Please include your name and youtube/blog name.

PLEASE be fair to everyone participating. If you’re unable to continue the swap, please notify me asap. I would like for everyone who has signed up to be able to receive as many as they have sent to me.

Include a SASE (self addressed stamped envelope) with at last the same amount of postage as it took to mail me. Also include 2 extra stamps if needed. I will send them back if not needed. PLEASE NO METERED strips.

I will have groups of 8 and will sign people up in the order of comments received.
Thank you for participating. If you don’t have my address, please email me once you are ready to mail out and I will send to you. My email address is cindy@smsrecruiters.com.

These need to be in my hands no later than November 1, 2010 I would like to mail out on November 5th.

Thank you for joining me, it's a lot of fun!!

Altered Canvas for a Friend Finally used the Mariposa Paper

I made this Altered Canvas for a good friend for her Big Birthday! The canvas is a 12x12 canvas that I purchased at Joann’s. First I painted the sides and about an inch of the front with several matching colors of paint. I then stamped the corners with black ink and rubbed walnut stain over everything. On 2 of the corners I used Bead Gel (Clear) and let it dry. I love how it provides some texture to the corners. I used a 6x6 piece of cork board that I had and added trim to the bottom. The flowers were from I am Roses and the chip board pieces are part of the Mariposa paper collection. The frame was from the dollar section at Michaels (last year) as well as the metal embellishments. I attached the frame so that it can be removed to add a picture.

This is my first altered frame and I know that it won’t be my last!

Check out this Blog Candy From Stacy

I created this travel journal for my trip, I can't wait to fill it up with journaling and treasures that I find along the way. I created this using lunch bags and chipboard. The binding is Grunge board cut to size, painted black and sprayed with Lindy's Stamp Gang Mists and then I used Gold Rub and buff. The flower is from Arlene from Butterfly Kisses. I used Basic Grey "Basics" paper, which was perfect because it lends itself well for writing or journaling.
