Altered can with Ladies Diary

Good Monday Morning/ Afternoon everyone.

Hope everyone is staying warm. I've been watching the news and

I am seeing all the bad weather that is happening on the other side

of the U.S. I was so into the news today then a few phone calls

that I had to take ( mother-in-law )that I almost forgot to post

on my blog. I guess better late than never.

In my header picture is a taller can than the one I posted about

yesterday. I used the Ladies Diary cardstock from Graphic 45. I

added some lace and some flowers from Prima. It gave my project

dimension. I know you really can't see it in the pictures but the flowers

are there.

Different shots trying to give the all around view.

This would look to great on my dresser. It can be used to store

all kinds of things ( cotton balls, q-tips, manicure items) just

a few ideas. I hope you like it. Until my next post Have A Splendid

Day!!!!!!!

 

 

 

Altered Peanut can

Good Sunday Morning!

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend and has found a few

minutes to craft. I have had a few moments to make it to my craft

space after getting all the decorations put away and have done

some crafting. As you see like I said before less cards this year and

more crafting like what you in the header picture. In the  header

picture is a peanut can that I altered. The reason I used a peanut

can is because my husband likes his peanut snacks that we end

up with a few cans. Some of the cans have been used to store

nails, bolts and of course nuts for the bolts....LOL...... My

husband decided that he had more than enough of these cans

and I didn't need to save them. As I was getting ready to throw

the cans away I took a second look at them wondering if I could

do something with them, low and behold my altered peanut can.

 

I washed the can with soap and water to get all the nut oil out of it.

Using some Mulberry paper and a cutout from some Graphic 45

cardstock I mod podged it to the can. I then added a rose to the top.

The rose is some of my stash that I am trying to use from my floral

making days. I hope you like it. Until my next post Have A Splendid

Day!!!!!!! 

Baby Boy mini album

Good Morning

I Hope that everyone is doing well and keeping warm. My mind

and prayers have been on those that are dealing with some really

cold weather. Maybe I can get your mind off of the cold weather

for just a few minutes with my mini album that I made. This post

will be picture full.

The album was made with paper bags.

I tried to stay mainly with different shades of blues but as you can

see there are a few pages that have pastel colors.

I made this album geared more towards boys.

I wanted to keep it simple and clean leaving a lot of room

for pictures.

 

There are a few journaling mats like the cute one below sticking

out of one of the pockets.

Pictured below is the back and last page of the album.

Hope you like my mini. Stay safe everyone and until my next

post Have A Splendid Day!!!!!!!!

Last Few Months of 2013

Hello my followers.

What a crazy last few months of 2013 for me. As many of you

know we moved back to Medford Oregon in April and there

was so much to do to get settled in.  Moving takes a lot of money

and boy did we go through it like crazy. I have been job hunting

but haven't landed anything yet so to do my part and get some 

money coming in I had some very full days crafting and getting 

ready for some craft shows. In My header picture is one of the trees

that I made to sell. 

Below is a partial picture of my set up at one of my shows right

before Thanksgiving.

 

I did very well at this show that I was burning the midnight

oil every night to have enough merchandize for the next show.

We had some real crazy weather here which is not normal and

our temperature was in the teens and under for about a week. We

ended up with frozen pipes. With the mess around here I didn't make

it to the next show. In a way I am glad that I didn't do the show

because as I heard from a fellow crafter that went ahead and did

the show it had a poor turnout because of the weather.

The next picture is the tags I made to price all my merchandize.

My days were full with all the baking that needed to be done,

 all the Tamales to make, gifts to buy, packages to mail thanx to my

Etsy sales. I did make it to my last show that I was booked for. All

in all I did very well at the shows. I am so glad to be back here where

I have all my following.

We spent Christmas with some very dear friends. We rang in the

New Year at home because frankly I was exhausted and just wanted

a quiet and relaxing time. New years day we had dinner with friends.

This new year will bring some changes in my crafting, I won't be making

as many cards but will be working on different projects. I am already

booked for a show in April and four shows in the fall.

I want to take this time to thank my followers and to wish you all a

Happy New Year! Stay safe.

Until my next post which will come more often now Have A Splendid

Day!!!!!!

New Christmas Ornaments

Hello Everyone, 

hope to find you all doing well and staying warm.

I know you must be wondering what happened to me since I hadn't

posted for a while. I have had my days full with all sorts of

projects and life in general. If you didn't know it by now some

of us crafters and designers stay real hush hush about anything

new we are working on especially if we plan to do a few holiday

shows. Don't get me wrong that it bothers me when some one

craft lifts my ideas but I like to be able to show it and try and sell

it so that I can make a good chunk of change before any one else

is making it and trying to sell it. I also have been known to scrap

lift of craft lift some ideas myself every now and then.

So now onto my header picture. This is new ornament that I made

I used my cricut to cut out the Eiffel Tower and I hand wrote Paris

I added pink feathers instead of the fake snow. Put it all together

in a clear ball ornament.

The picture doesn't do it justice. Hope you like it.

I will be at Wilson School this weekend selling my crafts.

Hope to see some of my old friends. A special Thank you to

Yolanda Vanderveen for the push to do the shows again.

Until my next post Have A Splendid Day!!!!!
