Crate Paper Love~

January 16, 2012 By

Who doesn’t love Crate Paper?  I love the Emma’s Shoppe Collection & the Neighborhood Collection.  Here I used both collections of the Layered Chipboard stickers on this 7 Gypsies frame.  I also used the 6×6 Emma’s Shoppe paper, Pink Paislee’s felt flowers, a mini chalk board, a few misc. flowers, and Doodle Bug Twine.  This is going to be on display over at Hannah’s in Antioch, Illinois.  Stop there to pick up the products you need to make your frame.  If you don’t live near them they will send you the products, just call.  847-395-3355  ask for Dana or Jill.  I added a few random pictures of my girls and used glossy accents to keep everything in place.

R U Ready 4 A Challenge? Use items that start with C.H.A

January 11, 2012 By

So yesterday I introduced you to the 4 members of my design team, I hope you had a chance to visit their sites.  They are going to help  inspire you to take part in my monthly challenges.

I kept it simple.  Share something current, add your links, stick with the rules, and come back to see who won.  Leaving comments are welcome, following the site is awesome, but having you as a friend is even better.  My challenges will be once a month so don’t forget to check back to see if you win.  My challenges are posted ahead of time on my challenge page, so you really have tons of time to prepare.

for the CHA challenge winner: Pink Paislee goodies, trims, hearts, key, perfect for Valentines Day!

Link your creations at the end of the post.  A challenge winner badge  and the prizes to the left will go to the winning design.  I have a Valentine Themed set of goodies going to the winner: Pink Paislee products, trims, hearts, key, & misc. valentine love!  Only one winner and the designers choose the winners along w/ a few other fellow blogging friends.

1st Challenge of the YEAR!  I am getting ready to go to CHA in California, so I thought why not use some products that start with a C, H, and an A.  Here are our examples of using a C.H.A in our projects.  Click on the photos if you would like to see them closer and get more info.  You will notice we all love to use Hemp or it was an easy H word to use… I can’t wait to see what you use.

Altered Art Projects for Hannah’s

November 22, 2011 By

Little Yellow Bicycle Ski Sweater Winter Day

 

Melissa Frances Deck The Halls Altered Art Frame

7 Gypsies & Graphic 45 School Day Sign

Here are 3 projects I just turned into Hannah’s in Antioch to use as a Display.. stop by to pick up your supplies to make your own.

The 1st project is a frame that I decorated with Little Yellow Bicycle Ski Sweater paper, glitter chipboard shapes, pebbles green buttons and Tim Holtz knob & corners.  Glossy Accents Adhesive

The 2nd project was a different frame & I used Melissa Frances Deck the Halls paper and stickers.  Tim Holtz knob, ornate plate, corners and paints/stains/inks.  Glossy Accents Adhesive

The 3rd project is the back side of the frame that I did “one post” ago.  I know it looks like the frame I did earlier, but I wanted to use up the rest of the supplies and put something on the back of the sign.

Thanks for looking, let me know what you think…

7 Gypsies & Graphic 45 ~love them~

November 7, 2011 By

Don’t you just love getting those photo packages from school and have no idea what you are going to do with all of the photos?  I don’t like putting 8×10 photos of them on the wall unless it is black & white photos that I took or had professionally done.  This year I have decided to do something with the 5×7 photo that I could keep out and really enjoy looking at.  Yes I love looking at their photos.. I meant enjoy looking at the frame or display.

When I saw the new products from 7 Gypsies and Graphic 45 I knew right away what I would do.  Here is my before and after projects.
