Just Scrapping Away

I have had a great couple of days, doing what I love most...SCRAPPING!!

DD and I made 17 flowers yesterday!! They turned out so awesome!!

Friday I made some little mini albums!! The inside is made using just one sheet of 12x12 paper. Then I made a little cover for them and used scraps to make the inside tags!! I really like them. If you like them, I'm willing to sell the 2 little brown and yellow ones, the other is for a friend. They are $5 each and $1.50 for shipping. (the bottom pictures are the inside of the little blue book. If you would like to see the inside of the other two, please email me.)

And last but not least...My little table and book!! I saw this table idea on the Graphics Fairy's website. I thought it was so cute. I went right out and bought the stuff to make one. Well, it was a total disaster!! *L* After 2 times trying to make it work, I threw it away!! But, I still wanted to make it!! So....*L* I went to Hobby Lobby and got new stuff to try again!! This time it worked!! I think it turned out so cute. The little book on top of the table was DH's idea. What a good idea, huh?? It is another of the one sheet mini's. Since I live in a tiny house and have no place to put this, I am also willing to part with it. $15, free shipping. (You will need to attach the table top to the base. It will be much easier to ship in 2 pieces.) The base is Tim Holtz crackle paint and then sealed with mod podge. The top has been mod podged as well. I made the flower on the front of the mini. Any questions, please feel free to email me!!

So that's what I've been up to. Now I need a new project!! *LOL*

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. I so enjoy your comments if you would be so kind as to say hi, that would be great!!

Until next time.....Tootles!!

BTW--I will also be willing to sell any of the embellies pictured in my previous blog entry. They are $2.50 each, $1.00 shipping. Or 2 for $5 and I'll take care of the shipping. I no longer have the pink one, but still have all the others!!

Vintage??

Hi again!! Welcome back!!

I'm so excited to share with you my latest adventure. Many may know that I have no idea how to do anything Vintage, yet I still want to!! So when I saw this hair tie at the dollar store, I just knew I could do something 'vintage' with it. *L* Isn't pretty?? I thought so.....for days, and days!!

But nothing was hitting home with me. But after a couple of days I was bored and went to Joann's to look for another project. I like to look in the remnant bin for lace or trim ends, but that day I found this crushed green silky material. I thought, now this could be vintage!! I don't get ah-ha moments often, so work with me!! :) So I bought it, brought it home, put it on my work table, and yep...that's right I looked at it...and the cameo for awhile. Then in a rare event, 2 in one week, I had another ah-ha moment. I could totally see what it was going to look like and believe it or not...it was VINTAGE. (I think)

I started by pulling out my bling and pearls. I had to spice up the old girl. So I pried off the hair thingy and add the bling and pearls to just the right places. Then I took my green silky fabric and cut a circle and sewed it in to a yo-yo. Added the cameo to the middle and Waahhhh-lalalalala:

After that, I got a bit creative...well, creative for me!! These are the ones I made after my original ah-ha moments!! What do you think?? They are a bit time consuming but I really like how they turned out!!

So that's what I've been up to the past few days. How about you?? Made anything exciting lately?? Have you stepped outside of your box?? That's something I don't do too often!! Please let me know if you think these are vintage. If not.....I guess I'll keep these and forget vintage again for awhile!! :)

Until next time........tootles!!

Last of the Secret Projects!!

A Mini Album

I was so honored when Scrap Smart...Susie...asked me to be her partner in a mini album swap over at SB.com!! We agreed to make them as surprises for each other. So I didn't post the album I made her in my gallery!! She was out of town for a few days and just got her album, so I can share it with you now!! I had a lot of fun making her this surprise album. It uses KaiserCraft papers, that I just thought was so pretty!! I had been saving it for the perfect album and this was it!! I'm so glad she liked it!!

Here it is:

I want to add that Susie made me the most beautiful album!! It was sorta funny because we bothe chose purple for the albums we made!! I love my album!! Try checking out Susie's gallery over at sb.com to see her beautiful work!! Thanks again, Susie!!

Until next time......Tootles!!

Secret Projects

I'm so excited about the secret projects I've been working on!! This first one is the one I made for my DD while whe was gone on her end of school trip!! I was so lucky to be get this MM embellishment box from Crop Chocolate for just $12.99. So happy about that!! DD was needing a jewlry box, and this was perfect!! This is what it started out looking like...a.k.a. Before:




DD is REALLY intrested in the Ocean and especially Jellyfish and Squid. She even wants to be an Oceanoligest. So I decided that was the theme I was going with for her jewelry box. Here's what I came up with...A.K.A. After:



She loved it and has all her jewelry put in there now!! Organization at last!! :)


Next on my list of Secret Projects was a gift for my sweet friend Kima!! I so wanted to send her a surprise and make her day!! She has been just so sweet to me and I wanted to repay her kindness in some way. So I made her this little tin filled with homemade flowers, a butterfly, plus a little tin of prima flowers!! She just got it, so now I can share it here:


This is a sample of some of the flowers I sent her:
(I'm really into making flowers at the moment!!)


I have one more secret project to share, but since she hasn't received it yet, I will have to wait a few more days before I can post it!!

Thanks again for stopping by!!
Until next time....tootles!!
