A Quick pop in

I just wanted to pop in and share my LFB page I did for Little Fat Book Club.  I really feel I over thought the concept.  The only requirement was that we had to have something move.  I wanted to do some sort of spinner, but just couldn't figure out how to do it with in the 4x4 so that when the person received they could put their holes where they wanted.  So I decided to do simple pull outs that I also altered into mini colleges.  I kinda like it but it isn't what I orignally wanted.  I was lucky that Tabitha recieved because I forgot to take pictures of it, so I asked her do it for me.  On to the next theme... Angels, Cupid, "winged Beings" Valentine's.  should be interesting.

Halloween fun

Well with Halloween around the corner I thought it was time to do some Halloween crafts because Halloween is my favorite holiday. So I went to Micheal's to find some pumpkins to alter and found this amazing little skull. He is paper mache (sp) so I painted him orange then went back and painted him with Tim Holtz Distress paint (my favorite). Then I took the Tim Holtz Lost and Found stamp set which I just got and used the flock of birds stamp. Then I took an inkadoo. Halloween stamp set for the Trick or treat, the spiders and the spider webs. I used some stickles to bling out the spiders. Then I took one of the wings from Tim Holtz Grunge board and painted them purple and highlighted the dot pattern with orange and green paint. When it was dry I stamped the Spider webs on them and braded them to the back of the skull.

The Pumpkin is pretty simple again it was a paper mache piece boring brown. I painted it orange then the stem with Tim Holtz distress paint. I printed some images off the Internet (they are for my use only and i looked up free images) then I modge podged them around the pumpkin. After that I search my craft room high and low for green wire I know I have somewhere. I couldn't find it so I took boring silver wire and wrapped it with green ribbon. I used clear accent to glue the ends to the wire and voila I had some pumpkin vine.

The last little project I'm working on is an experiment. I bought these really great flat poker chips to alter and the first thing I came up with is to make them into charms for necklaces so I started to play and I came up with these cute halloween pieces that I'm going to give to my little cousins for halloween. They will be double sided one side the cat that you see in the group shot and the other is going to be a monster from a K&company piece of paper I had. I think these will make cool birthday gifts for some very special artists I know. Shhhh don't tell them. lol. I have about 300 poker chips to play with so we'll see. well that is all I have to share for now. I'm going to get in some craft time tonight hopefully. I have some projects due soon. Pin It Now!

Cat Crazy

Well it has been a little while since I have done actual scrapbook pages, but I say down today and did some!! Which is exciting for me cause I have been feeling scrap block for a while now. Today the pages I did were awesome!! I should introduce my newest muses while I'm at it. Meet Raven (my black cat) and Smokey (my brother's cat). They were found last spring with their two sisters in our shed last year. Their mother was a stray I had seen hanging around our yard. I was pretty sure she was pregant but I need thought she would have her litter in the shed. My brother went into the shed and heard scratching around on one of the top shelves we have found oppsums in our shed in the past so he when he found the box it was coming from he was extremely nerveous of what he might find, but he opened the box anyway and found four tiny kittens. He brought them in and claimed Smokey the only grey cat (because he was different). The rest were black. I fed them, taught them to potty and protected them from the rest of my crazy animals. Basically I bonded with them!! I kept bugging my dad trying to convince him to let me keep one. I know that I have a zoo and part of me didn't really want to take on another animal but I fell in love with Raven and I am sooo glad I kept him, because he is my best buddy. He cuddles with me all the time. When I'm in scrapbooking he sits with me sometimes he even sits on what I'm trying to do. He is mine which means when I move out he leaves with me, unlike the rest of my animals which are really my parents. So alot of my current pages are my newest buddy!!

Challenge two for SYS

This layout was done for a challenge on my Swappin Your Scrap message board. The concept is to use up some of the stuff you have meaning I could not go out to the store and buy anything new. The paper I bought over last summer I think I had my Dad drive me to this store in Vermont that was a total waste I found this and a little bit more paper and that was it.
This is a close up of th little frames I found in a kit from the Christmas Tree shop two months ago. The ribbion I bought probably about a year ago.
In this photo are the matching ribbon rounds and little tiny diamonds that also came in the kit. The prima flowers were bought about 6 months ago and the brads I honestly don't remember. THe cool thing about the flowers though is that they were white. I didn't have any black flowers and I just colored them with a marker.
The purse were given to me by my former boss last summer when we were packing up the scrapbook store. I just hadn't found the right place to use them until now. The stickers are what inspired the whole page they came from a pack of DCWV dog sticker i got forever ago.
