A tea themed card

I made this pretty card for a friend's birthday. I used old k&company that I had been holding on to for a special occasion. All the shapes were cut out from Art Philosophy, a child's year and mother's day banquet. Other supplies white seam binding, distress stickles in worn lipstick and antique linen and distress ink in old paper and vintage photo and an antique button.

Another fun find at Ollie's

Today I found this cool jewelry box at Ollie's house while helping her cleaning out the craft room! I debated on painting it and after looking at it for awhile and my parents yelling at me I decided not to.

Birthday card

I decided to play in the craft room today after putting up a new fence for the goats and wasting an hour or probably more on the computer. I sat at the table looked at magazines and then remember that I could really use some birthday cards. So far this is what I made. I cut the shoe out of my forever young cartridge and the background shape is from art philosophy cartridge I tweaked it with my gypsy. The paper is from making memories I have had it forever!

First pinterest inspired craft

So I found on pinterest a couple days ago tangle free headphones and all you need is embroidery thread which I have tons because of my summer job of arts and crafts director. I bought some of my own when we ran out on site. So I sat down for the last two days and basically did a Chinese staircase friendship bracelet around my headphones. It probably could have been done quicker but I did it between cleaning whatnot and quite frankly my back is killing me from sitting weird. The end product is cool though. Now Ii can throw them in my purse pocket or drawer with out getting a tangled mess later. I'm hoping to do some more pinterest inspired projects soon.

More garage sale finds

My former boss had a garage sale as I think I mentioned before. Then she had me help her pack up her stuff as she is moving. She allowed me to take anything I wanted. I walked away with lots of fun goodies. A vintage saltines tin, a sewing box that now houses my misc. vintage thread spools and sewing stuff, a vintage jewelry box that now holds my bling, bling. Some almost brand new artist pastels among many other fun things that are in the pictures below. Most of the empty boxes and tins mean I can collects lots more fun stuff!!

3x3 card number 3

I wanted to play with different opens so I decided to make a gate fold card. I used our "Just Bloom shapes flutters" our awesome new sympathy set and the pemberley workshop stamp set. Nothing fancy but I think it came out cute.
