"Wooden Spool Snippet Roll"

Hi all! So here is a "tiny" project that I did during a Ustream class for the Zibbet store Gone Artsy, where I am a guest designer this season. This class was meant not only to share some of the beautiful laces/trims that Deb carries in her shop, but some of the laces are so functional that you are able to cut them in sections and use them this way or if you stay with an inch or so of left over trims and/or fabrics of anykind, we as crafters all know that we all have this certain storage bin or basket where we keep our tiny remnants that we just don't want to throw away because they might come in handy sometime. It is kind of a "crafting hoarder) thing lol !!! Anyhow, with these snippet rolls, you are not only able to use up those itsy bitsy pieces of  doilies, trims, fabric, etc, .. you can also add some buttons, charms, pins, as well as photo transfers to the fabric that you use as the base. I will post a link to my Ustream class and you are able to find similar projects on Pinterest and YouTube. Here are a few photos of  my cutesy snippet roll! You can display it rolled up on a shelf or you can hang it up by the seam binding that holds it together, and display the different trims and embelllishments. Its all about recycling!! Plus you end up with super cute projects that can also be made for friends as gifts! I hope you like it and please take a look at my Ustream class. Thanks again!

A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING

Hi everybody! Its been a little while I know. I am still working on this blog because for some strange reason, most of my most recent photos were gone, some of my earlier posts when I started my blog, the writing on it is strange and I know I didn't do that haha! 
Anyhow I just wanted to share with you some projects I've finished up. I am still working on a mixed media resist canvas album, but I got anxious to share with you these other projects so I hope you like what you see! Comments welcome!! xoxo
This here is my altered Tim Holtz configuration box. I've had it tucked away in my stash for a while, figured it was time to play! I enjoyed painting it, using Prima "The Archivist" paper on it, I used some washi tape on the edges of the inner cubes, then just looked for some small embellishments that would kinda go together. Although I have seen some similar boxes others have made with alot of embelllishments inside, I do like how it looks but I wanted mine different. To finish the look I embossed that beautiful chipboard dressform that my bff Amy Love gifted me for my bday!! xoxo

  

Next is a try at little of mixed media! I sure enjoyed this canvas. Of course gotta keep a little bit of my vintage signature on it ! Used a wonderful paper line called "Vintage Time" by Craft&You. I also used a beautiful image from some Pion paper I have in my stash! I really loved how girly it turned out!! 

Here is the 1st card I have made, besides the easel card I a while back. This one extremely special because it was made with love for my crafty bestie Amy Love Watston for her bday on Sept. 5th! I used plain white cardstock to build the base, I then used a sheet of the beautiful paper "Bella Rose" from First Edition, then I used a little bit of cheese cloth for added dimension, with a lightly embossed grey cardstock that matched the color of the design paper. I embossed the chipboard "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" using some Lindy's embossing powder. I then adhered a paper doily, & added that adorable image of those cute ballerinas. I added that beautiful fabric flower from Prima and added that stunning piece of bling as the center. I hope you can get inspired by my creation just as I was inspired to make it. xoxo ~Besos~

Some Awsome News & Project Share!

Hi everyone, I'm back! I actually have this project I want to share with you and some news, good news! So I was asked a while back if I wanted to be a guest designer for the month of July for www.calicraftsnsupplies.com, the owner is Barbara Hickman , some of you might know her as Caliscrapper on facebook , youtube?! So that I was super excited for. Then I was offered a guest design spot for the zibbet store https://www.zibbet.com/goneartsy!! As some of you might remember I was a guest designer last fall. Anyhow I am super excited for both these DT spots!
So for my 1st project for Calicraftsnsupplies I decided to tackle the Tim Holtz small folio with the Marion Smith "Timekeeper" paper collection. I used distress inks, I distressed my papers, I used alot of the Tim Holtz embellishements, so it turned out pretty good. A cross between steampunk and vintage I thought! Let me know your thought! Thanks for stopping by! xoxo

Design Team Projects for June for KS4U and Flossie Scrapper!

Hi everyone! I'm totally late in posting up my last projects as a guest designer for KS4U and my June project for Flossie Scrapper! I finished them up last week before heading out to Denver on a mini vacation for my grandsons 2nd Birthday! So here they are! I love how they each came out, I first did the paper mache book box which I painted with black acrylic paint then added a coat of modge podge kinda as a sealant, then I papered it with Graphic45 "Curtain Call" I love that paper line. I then added some trims, I used my "sewing room" sizzix die for the dress form. Added some trim from Kraft supplies 4U, along with some metals and braided trim from Julie's shop as well. I made this project as a gift as well for my daughters step mother in law, she really liked it! I hope u all like what I did with it as well! 

As for my 2nd project, it was a combination project for Flossie Scrapper and KS4U! I had a tin I had saved to alter. I had the Authentique "Classique Beauty" paper which was very adorable, this was sent to me by Vicki, the owner of Flossie Scrapper, I also used some Prima embellishements from her shop, I also used some Petaloo flowers (yellow) from Flossie Scrapper as well. 
As for the embellishments that I used from KS4U, I used the adorable mini masks (black), they come in a variety of colors, I used some flowers from there as well (black) and a doily , along with a wishing well charm I painted it black, and some black/white organza trim from Kraft Supplies 4U! I love how this turned out, as I will be using it to store some small embellishments! I hope u all like my projects, I didn't think I did too bad for being I was losing my crafting mojo lol! I'll be back with some great news!!
