Special Delivery

Greetings!  I’m feeling a little shabby and chic.  I used Prima packing cardboard for the frame and border.  Also, a bit of burlap, dies, Special Delivery Stamp, brad and some beautiful GCD Studio’s designer paper.  Mom crocheted the little pink flower and leaf

Framed Vintage Art and Scrap & Stamp Publication

Isn’t this baby the sweetest?  She was tucked in among vintage photo’s I purchased at an estate sale.  I used a lot of Prima goodness on the photo and frame.  I love the shabby and tattered flowers mixed with vintage trinkets.  All products are Prima.  (Leaves, vintage trinkets, shabby flowers, lace border.)



And..some super exciting news!  One of my cards is published in Scrap & Stamp Magazine, June 2011.

Springtime Home Decor

Good mornin’ to my blogging buddies!  This was a Christmas ornament that I picked up at a thrift store.  It was getting tattered, which I love…BUT the colors and inside had to go!  LOL!  I altered it using sheet music, Crafty Secrets Images (one for each side), May Arts Ribbon and a bit of moss.  I used Mod Podge to apply the sheet music.

The more I sit and look at this piece, the more I think it may become part of a larger project!

Farm Fresh Brown Eggs: Altered Style

Now seriously!  Have you ever altered a hard boiled egg?  LOL!  I was boiling eggs the other day and thought…these natural beauties should be altered and decorated.  I gathered up some May Arts Ribbon, Creative Charms and my Crafty Secrets Artsy Banner set and got to work.  The Glue Glider Pro works perfectly for adding ribbon and lace.  Hot glue was used for the brads.  I misted a couple of the eggs with Glimmer Mist to add a little more color to my basket of eggs. They really are so much fun and I like how they turned out.  What do you think?  If you make some altered eggs, let me know cause I’d love to take a peek!
