Fairy Shelly

Hello, today is my day to share with you a project from our wonderful sponsor.

The file I chose is called Fairy Shelly.

I made her a tad larger than my card, which I turned into a twisted easel.

 Isn't' she adorable? I just love her.

 This is what the card looks like when open. I created a fun beach scene inside and used a gorgeous bow as the easel prop.

Sunflower

Hello there! Happy September!!

This month at Connie Can Crop, our challenge is

Our sponsor this month is

I chose to use one of  my files from Treasure box for my project, she's called Sunflower.

I added one of my Peachy Keen faces and a sentiment from MFT along with a bow using some beautiful ribbon.

I hope you will link up with us!

Father's Day card and Eureka Challenge

I have been asked to be a guest designer for Connie Can Crop.  Masculine cards are a big challenge for me. I'm a big bling fan so it's hard to not add more than is needed.

This is a tree from Treasure Box Designs.  The Family tree. I used the solid tree as you can see and typed my sentiments using the crayon font.

I decided to make the inside match the outside,  but just reversed. 

It's also time for a new challenge at Eureka.  Be sure to link up with both blogs for a chance at great prizes.

Today I am using the digi28502 Tulips image.  I used an embossing folder from Stampin Up to create the fabric look to the piece. It's colored with pencils.

Be sure to click the badge above to link up and see what the rest of the team has made.

Congrats!!

 I have 2 nieces graduating this summer, how did I get that old so fast?

These box cards are so fun and a great way to celebrate!

The box card file came from the SIL store, the grad sign was a freebie from Treasure Box Designs and the owl is from Kadoodle bug, I added a hat from the sign sizing it to fit his head and raised his arms.

Pinque Peacock beauty

I saw a similar project on Pinerest

I can not find it now of course...bad me

So here's what I did, I bought 2 pair of children's jean at good will. I looked for the ones with stains or tears so as not to take away a good pair of pants from a kid, lol, goofy maybe but that's what I did.

I bought a yard of lace, and a cork board.  I painted the frame white, attached the ribbon to the back with heavy duty staples and cut the jeans apart.

 While I had the paint out I used one of my CTMH stamps and inked it with the paint.

I used fabric glue to attach the lace to the pockets.

 I then glued my pockets in place and pulled out my pins and flowers and went to town.

 "Beading" I cut from vinyl

 The owl pin I made, the angel is from my friend Ana

 This is another pin I made and the flower is an SVG file

 This is a Pinque Peacock pin, top and center of course!

 There is a pin in the center that I made, the flower is another SVG file

I put one of the adorable Pinque Peacock candy bead pins on the left and the pin on the right is another one from my friend Ana

 I love the sets of beads that Joann's has, so beautiful and they match so I don't have to guess.  I loved these and waned them displayed so I made a few dangles.

I added my beading and wire tools to the pockets but I didn't like it, I also did it to test the strength, I used fabric glue to attach the denim to the board, I left the tools in the pockets for several days and not the slightest loosening!

Project success!! 

I want to share a project I made for a hop in case you missed it. I really like how this turned out!

 I covered a small notebook I found at the Dollar Tree, it's got lined paper inside, perfect for notes or a journal.

 This was offered by Unity during CHA as a bonus.  I colored it with pencils, I used my Cameo to cut and offset of the images.  The crochet flowers and the butterflies were colored by spraying them with alcohol then dripped reinkers directly on them. I let them dry over night then added them to the cover of the notebook.

 I also added some red bling to the image and pen then added a fun pearl beaded stick pin by Pinque Peacock.

 I'm so hooked on doing vinyl projects, this is something with my favorite file and one of the first I ever bought from Dina. (Treasure Box Designs)

 I know, he's not pink but I thought the colors that were in the finished sample were gorgeous so I tried to keep it the same.

 When I saw this cup at CVS I immediately knew it was for my proud guy!

 He blends right in like it was meant to be!!

 This is by far my favorite cup I've made for myself!! I also added gems to his feathers using E6000 glue.  

I had wash him so he doesn't peel or loose any gems.

Fun right?
