Framed Art

I altered a dollar frame for a friend...Robin on the CMB. It was soo plain until I changed it! The colors I used were the colors she has in her scraproom. I painted the frame white...then used alcohol inks in Meadow and Stonewashed on it. I loved how that turned out. THen I used a green/blue plaid paper, a green washed and blue washed papers from HL. I cut a label from the Lacey Label lite Cart . The chipboard word**Happiness** was brown...colored it with a Paint Dauber in Snow Cap. Added touches of SU ink in Certainly Celery and Marina Mist to the edges of it. Added 3 flowers..all different in the lower rt hand corner. The printed green one is handmade...the white one is a Prima...and the lite aqua is 3 different flowers to create one. I LOVE THEM! Add black/clear flourished bling on both sides.  SHE LOVED this ~Framed Art~...

Winter Box

I made this adorable lil' box from the Spring Holiday cards Mini cart....love it!!!! I used the MS score board to score straight lines to fold for the box itself. I used a double-sided blue heavy paper for the background...which says Winter wonderland..in small print...then took another double-sided snowflake printed paper and but a strip and used the MS Eyelet lace border on one side. Stamped in SU Chocolate Chip a winter stamp sayings..added a light blue mat. Cut snowflakes from the Winter Lace cart...used 3 different snowflakes and added pop dots to give it deminision. Love how it turned out!!!!! Punched a hole in the handle and added winter ribbon...I hope Terri loves it as much as I do...

Tags & Pins

I've been working on these for a while. The heart set is for one group on the CMB and the red set is for the YPP group. I love how they each turned out.

Pink Hearts ...I cut the hearts from the Lacey Labels Lite cart and inked the edges w/SU chocoloate chip. I added journaling lines also in CC and the flourish is an Autumn Leaves flourish stamp. I pop dotted the small heart and stuck the pin thru it. The beads are from Wal-mart and I stamped the Tilda on shrinky dink paper , colored her with Prismacolor pencils , cut her out and used my heat gun on it to shrink it. SOOOO cute...I put a hole in her head to make it a charm BEFORE shrinking...add the jump ring and put her on the end of my stick pin.

Red Tags...these were for my YPP group...and the theme was Christmas...I hope this fits the bill...lol. I used the lacey Labels cart once again and then  added journaling lines in SU Black. I cut the Circled Joy from Lacey Labels as well...tied a deep red gingham ribbon around the tag and stuck my pins thru it...Turned out quiet nice!!!

Valentine's Comp Book

Good morning to all~~~~

I altered a comp book for a  SS Valentine's Day Comp book swap on the CMB. I really LOVE how it just came together without pondering much on it!!! LOL :)  The one that it is for even commented on it...me..me...me...send it to me...It's beautiful, Rhonda!!!! If only she knew...well..she will soon enough.

RECIPE~~Comp book..black designer paper by Hot Off the PRess..White

/red cardstock..I used both of these thru my CB. White one has a Valentine inpired theme and the red has the same but is *Queen of Hearts* on it...sooo very appropriate for this theme!!! I then ink'd them with black soot distressed ink to give them a muted vibe like the DP. I used a wide sheer ribbon in white and  thin in red tied around both these embossed cardstock papers. I used a stick pin I altered in the knot. Added flowers around them...the white one had black ink'd edges...the small red one is a felt flower to give a variety of interest. The heart in the upper left-hand corner is a left-over embellishment...which I painted with MM red wagon paint (2 coats) and then ink'd with BS ink to age it too. Then added the Prima gems in the angle of the heart. I also added the gems on the end of the flowers. I LOVE how it turned out...soo proud! Leave some love!!!!

Christmas Card

Hello...

I made this Christmas card for my DD...she loved it. I love how it turned out. It was a fairly simply card to start with that was sent to me....white card stock rain thru the cuttlebug...not much of a card to me...so I DOLL'd it up...lol. I ink the edges with chestnut roan ink...and over the snowflaked embossed areas...looks a lil' antiqued that way. Then I cut some ledger paper and red cardstock...used the SU stamp set...Heard from the Heart message. Used a corduroy ribbon my American Craft in chocolate brown...added a Tim Holts memo pin with an ink'd red heart in it. Love the outcome of it all...NOW that is a card.
OXOXO
