Catching up on projects!!

Hey crafty friends! I'm here to share the projects that I have fallen behind on posting here. I find it so hard trying to maintain a blog but my love for crafting and trying to get my work to get recognized is the reason I really try! It's so much easier to keep up on my other social media sites but this is important to have as well! So I'm hoping that I can post everything in order that I have created till this day! I'm also trying to research how to make my blog to look beautiful but also cleaner, just not too plain. So wish me luck and enjoy my project shares!! *NOTE: I will try posting 2 projects per post so that they aren't too long , xoxo

For the month of May I was lucky enough to have been a Guest Designer for SaCrafters. Love working with the great products that you get to put together and use your imagination and creativity for the finishing touches. I enjoyed making these projects to add as beautiful decor for my craft room. The 1st project that I made was a Wood fancy box. I painted the edges with Vintage White Acrylic Paint and then used Prima Tales of You & Me to paper the entire piece. I distressed the edges just a little then used Vintage Photo Distress Ink along the edges as well. On the top, I changed up the piece that attaches on front, I glued it on to the back so that I would be able to use the top to put some cute embellishments. I settled on something simple and added a cute Recollections frame with a beautiful image. I finished the top off with some beautiful paper rose buds wrapped in a ribbon. I added lace on the inside on the windows, along with a smal I love how this turned out!! xoxo

Here is my 2nd project that I made for SaCrafters. I knew I wanted this beautiful dressform to be very feminine and romantic in a sense. I picked paper from Graphic45 "Portrait of A Lady" , absolutely gorgeous paper. I adhered it to the pieces, then adhered it all the pieces together , distressed the edges a little with ink. Added a beautiful applique on the front part of the dressform followed beautiful bling from Prima and also added delicate ivory trim and flat back pearls around the front of the dressform. On the small shelves on the back side of the dressform I added a variety of embellishents, for example, charms from a braclet that I picked apart, Prima Rosegold flowers, a doily, tiny resin frame, an adorable round dome with a charm of the Eifel Tower inside, a cameo, and a bling crown. This is such a beautiful piece! I love making the different projects that will be added decor to my craft area! I hope u like what I've done and feel inspired to try one yourself. Thank U! xoxo, Jeanne

My Easter Loaded Envelope

Hi crafty friends!! I'm back to share this next project!! Easter is one of my favorite holidays. I just love the overall colors like the pastel colors!! So when this swap came up on Facebook over in one of the LE groups that I am in, I had to sign up!! I got partnered up with a really talented and sweet lady Brigitta Raaijmakers, she is from The Netherlands!! She mailed mine out a day before I did and she just recieved mine (2weeks later), I was so frustrated because I really wanted her to get hers before Easter but Im just glad she got it! 
I also made an altered Egg carton, I gessoed, painted, added lace/trim to it and then added plastic eggs with small yummies inside them. I'm so glad she loved everything! I hope u will love it too!! Here are the pics of what she was sent!! xoxo, Jeanne

Feb. & March Mini Albums

Hi crafty friends!! I'm back with another blog post! I would have made it earlier but I was wanting to finish up the album for March so I could post them together. I know that I probably keep repeating what I say about these Mini album kits that I receive from Frank Garcia but I can't stop bragging about them. I love incorporating lines from different Prima collections where I can. For example the Feb. Kit came with some of the newest collection from Prima "Love Clippings"  but I incorporated "Tales of You and Me" in this mini as well. I think this is my favorite to date but I think I keep saying that about all of them lol 
Hope u like what I've made!!

MARCH MINI ALBUM

Happy Spring!!! Now this album is super colorful and you actually feel like your in the middle of a field of flowers! This paper collection was not from Prima, but I still loved it!! I hope u like it!! xoxo

I honestly have found that these are my favorite projects to make even though every project I make is made with so much love and it has been such a blessing that I found this amazing way to express myself. I don't only think of it as a "hobby" like maybe alot of people do, I think of it as my therapy for my health issues especially for my depression. So if there is anyone out there that is going thru something like this, I really suggest that you give this a try. You might just surprise yourself like I did! 
Thanks again for reading my blog post! xoxo, Jeanne 

Birthday card (Late post)

Hi everyone! I'm back again!! I was going thru my blog and have noticed that I had missed posting a card I had made back in Feb. for my sons girlfriends' 21st bday! Idk how I managed to do that. I really thought I had posted it! 
Anyhow,  I used the beautiful papers from one of the Gorjuss Girl paper stacks. I also used my dressform chipboard that was gifted to  me , I used some paper flowers from Prima and one from Michaels. I also layered up some metal flowers and a black center from Prima as well as some black trim from my stash and added some bling strands on my dressform. The sentiment stamp is from Tim Holtz ,I embossed it using Lindy's stamp gang embossing powder . 
I will be using these beautiful papers in  more of my projects! Love the colors of them!! Thank you for checking out my post and I hope you will see the rest of my blog. If you happen to see a duplicate post in another posting on here I apologize. Having this brain fog is the worst thing. Seems like my memory is worse somedays. Please bare with me! Thanks again! xoxo, Jeanne
