Getting caught up!!

I'm still trying to catch up on all these projects! Omgosh, its overwhelming. I'm never gonna let myself fall this far behind again! 😂 Anyhow I'm really trying to make my posts smaller so I can post 2 projects per post. Wish me luck! 💖

This next project is my final GDT project for SaCrafters for the month of May! I made this Police Call Box in a Steampunk theme! I painted it with Folk Art Black Acrylic Paint and then on the inside and parts of the outer side I brushed on some Prima Bloom Spray "Vintage Coal", I liked this color because it gives off a metallic dark green effect. This would match perfectly with the Steampunk Debutante paper from Graphic45. I adhered it to sections of the call box then cut off the excess paper. I embellished it using a ring holder that is in the shape of a high heel shoe. It's a blue/green color with black lace on top. I decided I would use that since I just had it as decor on my dresser. 

I also used many other embellishments thoughout the inside of this Police Call Box. For a more detailed feature of this project , please click on my YouTube video to view it. I am trying to keep my posts shorter so its easier if I've made a video about it. Thanks you for stopping in! xoxo, Jeanne

This project was made by me using the 1st kit I purchased from MsGardengrove on Etsy. Annie is the owner and she's got a group on Facebook where she sells montly kits. I immediately began making it as soon as it arrived in the mail! There was alot of beautiful trim and laces to work with but I think less is more so I didn't use every single piece of lace that came in it and used some of from my stash. Here is the link to the fb group incase you would like to join up. There is a waiting list usually so once there is a spot open on the permanant list Annie will message you to inquire if you would still like to be on the permanant list. I hope you like this, I made it for my mom to put up in her room!! 

Catching up on Projects (Continued)

I'm back again trying to catch up on posting projects that I've made since my last post in April that I made an Easter Loaded Envelope for a swap! I've been posting mainly on my Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram pages. I try to post on Twitter and on my Facebook craft page. I do tend to get overwhelmed trying to post on all of them. I enjoy having all of those platforms, its just difficult at times, even more so if I'm not feeling to well. 
Anyhow this next project is another project for SaCrafters & is a GDT project for Secret Garden on Facebook /Craftycity.com, its a simple, easy to make alarm clock shadow box. 

I painted it using Folk Art Black Acrylic Paint, then traced sections of what I could onto the beautiful paper from Prima Stationers Desk, one of my favorites! Then adhered the paper with FabriTac Adhesive. I then inked the edges using Black Soot Distress Ink from Tim Holtz, to kind of blend the papers in with the painted surface. I then began embellishing using the beautiful WOC flowers from the facebook shop Secret Garden, a chipboard ink pen from Frank Garcia's Archivist collection, one of Prima's Amiens Antique Cloches. I had this gorgeous Eiffel Tower charm from my stash. I finished it off with beautiful ruffle pearl black trim from MsGardenGrove's shop on Etsy and a metal embellishment on the back part of the clock . I used some DecoArt Lustre Wax in Champagne Ice. I hope that you will try one of these, they make wonderful gifts, as well as decor like I will be using it in my craft room. xoxo, Jeanne
