From drab to fab- little plates

I have been want to do this quick project with my cricut forever!!! I have been going in thrift shops looks for small plain white plates with gold around the edges. I have seen a few but nothing seemed worth it. Most of the time the price or quantity wasn't right. So this weekend as you know I went to a garage sale in the bins I found these not so great plates and the light bulb went off. My project can finally be done! I love them the only thing I didn't account for was how big the pattern in the center was but the worked out thank goodness.

some Christmas Crafting for my home

So I have been a little busy with some Christmas crafting.  Most of which are for presents so I can't share but this was done kind of for myself.  I sat down on the floor and start to make myself a paper chain like I did as a child, but the new and improve version of course.  I used my beautiful scrapbook papers.  So after two nights I have beautiful paper chain in my bathroom.  And then I starting doing some research on how I could make a paper wreath and decided to go for it.  I'm not very good with a hot glue gun I burned myself quite a few times before my Wreath was done.  But one old book, a foam wreath base, lots of hot glue and two nights later I had my beautiful book wreath.  I wanted to do something different with mine of course cause it seems everyone leaves their's oh natural.  I sprayed mine with glimmer mist and wiped some pine green distress ink on it.  I want to put a bow on it but I need to do some brain storming because I don't want it to be  forever.  I change my mind often and I want to to be able to change whenever I want.  I think its because I don't want to put my wreath away.  I can't even imagine trying to store it so that it wont get ruined.  So I want the bow to change with the seasons.  So I will update you later when I decide on what I'm doing.  So I most go I need to get some sleep I'm off to NYC in the morning for Christmas shopping.

Altered Dream House

I have had a ton of fun with the altered house them. This is my Dream house I will be happy with the simple things in life love, happiness, and anywhere my kitty Raven is lol (he is a key piece of my dream as well as someone very special to me). Other then that I would love a chandelier in my home and a mix of classic and vintage items. The White Picket fence was just a cute detail on the front with the paper flowers I love from prima (if only all flowers with as easy as just sticking them in your front yard). I kept the front simple. I really wish I didn't have to give it away but someone with enjoy it and I will get an amazing one in return. I hope you enjoy my dream house and now I have to start pondering the next one. Pin It Now!

Altered Chipboard houses

Well I'm always looking for something new and different to play with. My best Friend and tree killer in crime suggested that our ATC group do altered houses. So we are doing a total of 5 of them. And the first one was our current home. These are really fun and come out really cute. So the first one isn't due till the end of the month. So I got it done pretty early and then the second is our favorite place. My favorite place came to me pretty quicky so I started it yesterday and finished today. I just need to make a door handle and it will be finished. Pin It Now!

Recent Work

Well I've taken a little break from Scrapbooking itself, not a long one I did a few pages last month, but recently I have been creating some non scrapbooking projects. I have altered some items. So here they are.
The purse I did awhile ago the matching bracelet I just did a few weeks ago. Both Used Basic Grey's Oh Baby Girl Line, The purse I used Heidi Swap flowers and Bling Lines, Bazzill Big Brads (which was altered with Heidi's bling and BG paper).


Here are two more Bracelets I have made. The one used Basic Grey again, Prima Flowers and Brads I found in the Target dollar Bin. The other used Basic Grey paper, which you can barely tell and Fancy Pants Stamps a long with an oak colored Stain. I made that one to wear to my Great Grandmother's funeral.




Okay the last three pictures are a set that I created. The Wooden Word came first I used Green matching Paint, Basic Grey paper, American Craft Rick Rack, Heidi Swap Clear Hearts, Brads (not sure what Company) and Prima Flowers. I loved the way it came out and decided that I can use it in my new Scrapbook room after we move (hopefully soon) then I was bored and decided I needed a project that's when I pulled out a Provo Craft 12x12 clipboard I picked up on Clearence a long time ago (I had two) and started playing with matching paper. I used the same product aside from the flowers. When that was done a couple days later I decided hey why not make the other Clipboard match (they say to do things in three when decorating) So I played with the last Clipboard forever before I ended up with the final product. Chipboard G from Rusty Pickle, Felt Flowers from American Crafts, Heidi Swap Blig Lines, Heidi Swap Heart, and Title from EZ Lazer Designs (It really Said I am a Scrapbook Diva I cut off I am a). I hope you enjoy my new stuff I hope to share more soon. Pin It Now!
