Yesterday I showed you the signs that I like to alter from Hannah’s. But have you checked out the wood blocks they sell? The best thing about these blocks is that they are solid. So far I have only been decorating them one at a time, I hope to find time to do something with 3 or 4 blocks. I would love to make a set to keep out all year-long or make a set for a gift.     This is my “Jenni on the Block”. I used Jenni Bowlin’s Victoria Mini Papers to cover the block.

Do you want your own “Jenni on the Block”?  Take this class with me over @ Hannah’s in Antioch.

  •  “Jenni on the Block”  altered art Class w/ Kimberly @ Hannah’s.  
  • Sunday March 4th   10:00-12:30 
  •  $30.00 cost of class
  • Supplies needed: Scissors & Glossy Accents

Hello Wednesday!  Are you ready for a giveaway?   Today’s giveaway will be for  a wooden, double-sided sign.  Yep, a sign~ You can alter it anyway you want.  Here is an example of one I just did this week.  One side is painted in chalk board paint, so I can use it for a list or a quick note.  The other side is more of a decoration, but I did add 2 clothes pin clips and some sticky notes.    There is also a frame so I can add a picture.  I love the chair paper from October Afternoon so I put a limit on my decorations.

Products I used October Afternoon paper: Sunday Dinner, Church Social, & Guest Room, yellow acrylic paint, chalkboard paint, Craft wood letters EAT, Tim Holtz button, clock, spinner, knob & distress ink, black frame from home decor department @ Hannah’s, 2 clothes pins, a few clear buttons, chipboard house, May Arts trim, K & Co smash tape, Chalk, Maya Road heart, Rosette Die, and bakers twine.

October Afternoon: Let's Eat Kitchen Sign

Here are a few examples of other signs I made for Hannah’s.

The signs are fun to decorate for a kids room, seasonal decoration, chalk boards, kids photo college, or make up your own sign.  I bet you have an idea of what you would do with it.. however the giveaway is on the Hannah’s blog, so please follow me over there for your chance to win.  You will see a very similar post that is where you want to leave your comment if you want to win the sign.  I will also be posting my sign with Work In Progress Monday’s at ScrapScene.  I love that site~

Work in Progress 3 out of 4 done~

Last Monday I posted a few photos of what I planned to work on during the week.  Well I did finish 3 of the 4 projects, all while sick on the couch for 3 nights.  The finished projects are all for Hannah’s in Antioch… my LSS.  I am posting all week with them since it is my 1 year anniversary on their design team.  Here are a few photos of a dress form I altered .

The dress forms will be done by each member of the Hannah’s Design Team and put in the store for display.  It will give you an idea of our style and what products we all like.  I picked up this awesome idea at the Winter CHA in Anaheim.  Tim Holtz had given his designer friends all dress forms to alter.  The finished designs were showcased at his booth.  They were all incredible.  I will try to find the links to some of those dress forms and add them to this post later today.

What does my dress form say about me?  Well I originally painted the whole thing pink… which is something I should stop doing…lol  Then as you can see most of the pink is covered up with the skirt, shirt, and apron.  I love polka dots so I used the K & CO tape from their smash books and made the shirt.  I used pink paislee fabric ribbons for my skirt.  I didn’t want to change the color of the skirt since I liked the creams.  I used Prima bling along the base & a few maya road butterflies.  The flying 2 butterflies are from Jenni Bowlin.   The canvas hearts are from Canvas Corp, I sewed them together to form the wings.  For he bottom of the form I used a large art part from Wendy Vecchi and painted it blue and decorated it with liquid pearls.    I made the apron for my dress form since I wear aprons to work, I actually sewed on all of those charms and sewed the seam binding on so it can easily be taken on and off.  I added items to my apron that I like: lipstick, hearts, keys, #2, vintage buttons, clocks, scissors, and a diamond ring~  I couldn’t find my mini starbucks cup, if I do I saved room to add it later.

I will be back tomorrow with the other 2 projects I made.  Hopefully I will have #4 done by Friday.

I will have similar posts all week-long on The Hannah’s Blog,  stop over there as I will be having giveaways starting tomorrow.

I will be listing this project with ScrapScene and their WIP (work in progres)  Monday.   http://www.scrapscene.com/tag/wipmonday.html

Happy February~  Wow what a great week so far,  I live in Wisconsin & I am not snowed in!!  I can’t believe this awesome winter we are having so far.  I just got back from CHA in California so I feel a little behind, here is a quick update as to what’s up.

1st I turned the big 40~my bff baked me a yummy Red Velvet Brownie Cheesecake for my Bday ( I totally blame her for the 5 pounds I just gained) ~ my youngest daughter finally got her ears pierced~I made my scrap it girl shop bigger~My hubby bought me the newest I phone 4 & a blinged out cover 2 cute and I added new classes to my schedule.   While at  CHA  I learned so many new things for my business, got great tips from the designers I met, picked up new ideas for upcoming classes, found out about some great new products, and of course met and made new crafty friends.   Here are a few pictures reflecting the week so far and I am posting some photos of what I will start working on this week for the new WIP (work in progress Monday’s) for Scrapscene.
