Canvas #2, The Dress!

Hey Y'all,
   Hope all is well.  Today, I am sharing my second canvas project.  I am following the Gabrielle step-by-step tutorials on YouTube.  Of course, I start out pretty good; then I take that left turn and can't for the life of me get back on track with her. However, whatever I've come out with I am quite pleased.  For this canvas, I used an old Colorbox Paper pack (sorry, my craft room is a mess and I can't find it).  The piece in the corner, I made using my Cricut and Ornamental Iron I cart.  I cut the corner out 3 times and adhere them together to make my own chipboard piece.   My next canvas project will be the Window! That one will take way longer than the other two, so I've got to syke myself up for it.  For now, I hope you enjoy this canvas project.

Give Us This Day...

Howdy my crafting friends,
    Today, just wanted to share a nice rustic sympathy card I created.  I created the scene using a number of stamps and inks. This is a perfect card for the season and not too over the top for a sympathy card.  I really like the way the inside of card turned out.  I used 2nd Corinthians 5:7 for the inside sentiment.  I also used some moss and jute on the outside of the card.  The card stock is from my stash, I printed the greeting (Give Us This Day) and used a Stampin' Up! punch to punch it out.  Now, I just need make a brown matching envelope and it will be ready to go.  I hope you enjoy the card, thanx for stoppin' by...

All Dolled Up with Prima and Heartfelt Creations

Hi everybody, just a quick note to share a tag I did using my Julie Nutting Mixed Media Doll stamp from Prima and Heartfelt Creations paper pack Sun Kissed! I did this tag for Lesia November Challenge over at Mema's Crafts.  I used some seam binding that I dyed using Tim Holtz Distress re-Inker Vintage Photo, I traced around a wooden flag embellishment onto some of the Sun Kissed paper and stamped it with a JustRite stamp.  I used Heartfelt Creations a flower stamp with the matching die and a Memory Box "Estate Fence" die. I added some Recollection greenish-blue flat-back pearls. The base tag is some turtle green cardstock from my stash. Additional supporting items included 7-Gypsies verbiage stamp, a Fleur de Lis stamp from Hobby Lobby, and a piece old book paper. The tag was inked using Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
Many of the items I used to make this tag and others, like Memory Box Dies, Prima Marketing, Tim Holtz, and Copic Markers can be found at The Rubber Buggy.   I'm kind of stuck of the Jules dolls now, so I'm going to do a few more tags before it's all over!

Graphic 45 French Country Caddy

Hi everyone,
      Just want to share a super cute and super quick project.  I went to Tuesday Morning today and found this cute little spinner caddy. It was already finished and ready to use.  I decided that I would jazz it up a bit.  What better way to jazz it up, than to put some French Country paper in the mix!  I cut up 8 pieces of scrap paper (the caddy is an octagon), inked the edges, and used the tape runner to adhere the paper to the caddy and Viola!  I just love it!  Super eeeeeazy project!  Here are a few pictures, so you can check it out (I have to remember to take a picture of the project before I start on it, sorry).

October Challenge at Mema's Crafts

Hi everybody,
   There is still time to join in over at Mema's Crafts October "Tic-Tac-Toe" Challenge.  Here are my inspirational projects.  I paper pieced the "AKV Scarecrow Leaves" digi image from Bugaboo and coloured his face with Copics (E40, 41, 42, and 43).  I outlined the image using W2 .  I wanted to do something just a little different, so I made the open edge pockets for the inside.  And for my StitchyBear Digi Outlet image, I used the Spellbinder nested classic circles large, I printed the image out on some pale peachy coloured card stock 6 times, cut out the images using each of the nested circles, and re-created the image in layers using foam tape between each layer to add dimension .   Here are my finished projects:

Here is a peek at the inside of the Scarecrow card.  I love the fall colours.
