Charmed, I'm sure

Here are some charms I've made. Not to shabby if I say so myself...lol. There were for a swap on the CMB with Crystal.

Recipe~~Tim Holtz fragment charms and jump rings. I used Ledger paper from HL in different colors glued it with Glossy Accent since it dries clear. Once dry...cut it out w/a craft

knife and sanded the edges. I then used a small flourish stamp with staz-on black in. Added teeny-tiny pearls for accents. I think it give that 3-D affect. Love how they turned out.

Dry Erase board

I altered this modern photo frame as a dry erase board for a swap on the CMB. It was for my sister Tiffany. I love how it turned out. It's just a glass frame and use a regular dry erase pen on it to write. Wipes clean with a paper towel.

Recipe----White cardstock w/inked edges in SU Red Riding Hood. I cut the From the Heart on my Pink E from the cart "Country Life" and the Heart motif came from it as well.

VINTAGE VIBE

Hello to all~~~~

I've been very creative lately...and I've loved how things are ending up. I hope you all enjoy it as much as i do. Leave some love and let me know what you think. I enjoy reading the input.

Here are some of my works of art...lol.

This is a mini Vintage Comp book I altered for a CMB friend, Jen. I hope she enjoys it.

RECIPE~~Mini comp book used a vintage patterned paper for the base. Then I used a ledger paper..distressed with Timmy inks in vintage photo..brushed corduroy and tattered rose. Used a Crafty Secrets vintage photo and distressed it in the same way. Hand crocheted the flower glimmer misted it in a  Vintage pink and Pinecone to give it more of a old vibe. I added the two buttons to coordinate with the colors. I alter'd the stick pin in black beads to once again add that look of old.  I also used a pretty crocheted lace ribbon ...glimmer mist'd in the same colors .

 This book is for another swap from the CMB . Skrappindiva this is for you. I know you like the vintage look...so here you go...I hope you enjoy it. 

Recipe~~~Paper is a brownish gold tone with a liter cream. Used a ledger paper distressed with Timmy inks...tattered rose..vintage photo, and brush corduroy. it really adds the old-time feel to it! Did the same to the postcard..it is actually cut from a 12x12 sheet of paper. BUT-I loved the look and cut it down..tore the corner and distressed it. GLimmer'd the white silk flower to age it and then the smaller flower was a RAK (from Sheri---thank you) I also glimmer'd it added pop dots and then

made the pin.  The last touch was the pearl flourishes...LOVE IT!!!
