                                                     Old Projects
These are two older projects I created. I came upon the pictures and thought I would post them since I haven't had time to create anything so far this week.

This scrapbook page is of my grandma (or mamawl) I believe the paper collection is Cosmo Cricketr. The butterflies were made with a Sizzlet from Stampin' Up. The lace and bling I received in a swap. My Grandma was beautiful! She passed away a couple of years ago-she was basically my mom...I miss her everyday!

The Pin cushion I altered from and old glass contaner given to me by a friend. I Mod Podged designer paper to the glass container, waited for it to dry over night and then inked it up a little. I filled the inside with poly fil and covered the top with  black fabric. To secure it in place I used black lace around the top and hot glue to secure it in place. I think the twill measuring tape finished it off nicely! All of the stick pins are handmade by me or other ladies from swaps at Your Paper Pantry.

Enjoy! Have a great day!


Lucky Me!

Holiday Book Text Wreaths



 
Recycled Book Wreaths!
 
These were so fun to make! First let me start out by saying I am book lover and the books used for these wreaths were well loved and bought from Goodwill! They are pretty simple to make! Pop in a good movie, heat up the glue gun and start rolling and glueing! I used A square piece of foam board to glue the rolled pages to, to form the wreath and then decorated them!
                                 Sorry for the small photos!

Altered Mouse Traps


 

Altered Mouse Trap

 You can truely alter anything!
 I made these for a swap I joined on Your Paper Pantry.
 For the steam punk version I used:
Graphic 45 paper, Tim Holtz elements and flowers from i am roses. For the middle of the flowers I used bead caps and just spreaded them out. Everything else I used came from my stash and lost its packaging long ago!
 
 For the sewing themed trap I used:
 Cosmo Cricket paper, shapes cut with my silhouette. I also dug through my ever growing button hoard/collection.
 
These can be used as memo holders for the fridge if you put magnets on the back. One of my favorite ideas is fastening 7 of these together and labeling them with the days of the week- I think that would make a great to do list/calander. Just google altered mouse traps you will be amazed!
