Chipboard ornament

I made this ornament the other day using a 4x4 chipboard coaster.  I used printed paper from Stampi Up and colored it with barn door distress stain from Ranger.  I had some antique looking punch outs which I used on the front.  I popped up Santa and used a felt snowflake that I cut out with an old Cuttlebug die.  I used Stampin Up twine wrapped around the ornament and for the hanger.  Very easy!

Sweet Angels

My sweet friend, Amy, gave me this pic of her two girls to play with.  I used supplies from Melissa Frances.  The cardstock is pink and chocolate from SU and the flower is from SU.  The lace is from my stash.  The picture of the girls was taken on the day their parents were married.  Congratulations Amy and John!  You have two sweet angels!

Happy Halloween projects

This is such a beautiful fall day!  Windows open, sun shinning, great temperature, good health -- what else can we ask for?!  I thought I would show you some pics of halloween projects that I have been working on.  The bird house was bought at a crafting store, painted, covered with designer paper and cut-outs added.  I also added some fake spide web to the top.  For the purses I used a stainless steel die cut from http://www.papertreyink.com/ and assorted designer paper.  The mailboxes were bought at Target ages ago and they hold lots of candy.

Frames

I  haven't been on my blog lately because I'm spending all of my spare time in my "crafty"  room!  Fall is here and I have three craft shows in October.  I love this time of year!  I got an order for a couple of name frames.  Aren't these adorable?  It is a happy time when you make things for those little cuddly babies!!

Enjoy the beautiful weekend!

altered hair bands

This is another project that I made for the craft show.  I made the flowers from coffee filters and I used Ranger distress inks for the color.  For the center of the flower I used rhinestone brads.  I watched the video that Sherry had on her blog at http://sherrycheever.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/.  Sherry is so talented and I subscribe to her blog so I won't miss any of her ideas.  Match the little girl's dress with the flowers!

Altered project

This is a frame I covered with pattern paper.  I antiqued all of the edges and used SU ribbon.  I used the Spellbinders star nesties to cut out some SU Dusty Durango cardstock.  The buttons are from Papertrey Ink.  Can you imagine a little baby boy's picture in this?

Altered project

This is a picture frame that I covered with some Graphic45 patterned paper.  The flower in the corner is made using coffee filters and alcohol inks.

I really have been busy the last couple of weeks -- had 50 thank you cards to make for an order, designing a baby shower invitation, making things for the craft show which was last Sat.  The baby album that is shown above was snatched up at the show.  Someone needed a baby shower gift and I will say that it was a lovelly baby album.  Now, I am in the mood to make a few more!
