Dress Form Banner from GJS

April 8, 2013 by

Here is my 3rd project working as a designer for Genuinely Jane Studios.  I decided to take this book apart and use it as a banner.  I still have one of the pieces set aside for another project.

Products that i used on this project:  Tim Holtz embellishments, Graphic 45 pp, stain, canvas corp rope & burlap, and a real zipper.

What I love about the books from Genuinely Jane Studios is that you don’t have to use them as books.  So far I have only used one of the projects as a book.. one was used as a set of coasters and now this is a banner.  What would you do with a dress form book?  I love to hear your ideas too~  Thanks for visiting my page~

February 9, 2013 by

Have you been puzzled as to where I have been lately?  Well.. with each new year.. I reflect on what I did the year before.  What worked, what I enjoyed, what were the benefits, what could I not live with out.. and so on?  I have tons of decisions to make and tons of pieces to put together or change out.  Which makes this puzzle project perfect for today’s post.

This is one of the newest “wood product” that Hannah’s Home Accents started to carry.   I bet you can think of tons of ways to decorate this puzzle.  I decided to just use a few photos since I really wanted to show off the puzzle pieces and the layers.

I will do a random drawing and send you one of these puzzles.  Leave a comment and please like my Facebook page and follow this site.. thank you~  I will pick a winner on 2/19/2013  so check back here to see if you win~

If you are local friend.. this puzzle will be at Hannah’s next week.. we are still deciding if it will be a kit, class or just a display for ideas.  stop by a take a closer look.

Boxes & Blocks…again~

December 8, 2012 by

Do you make or shop for homemade items for the Holidays?  Over the years, I have come across more and more people who say they do “homemade” Christmas.  Meaning all the gifts they exchange with their family has to be of course “homemade” not necessarily made by themselves… buy homemade by someone.  Many of my friends shop Etsy during the holidays to find the perfect homemade item.  But if you are a crafter I am sure you make your own items.  Here are a few things I love to make for any and all holidays.

I love blocks and boxes.  I get most of my Paper Mache boxes at a local craft store and the solid wood blocks you can have cut to any size you want or again find some precut at a craft store.

Here are a few samples of boxes and blocks. If you decorate a block you can glue it to a candlestick for extra height.  I also like to add the Tim Holtz Foundation Feet and knobs.  If you are making the boxes, you can add a gift inside and they can display the box for other things.  Sometimes I add pictures or empty frames for their own photos.  Whatever you choose to do I think these make wonderful homemade gifts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Are you making homemade gifts this year?  I hope you get inspired to share some of your homemade items with some of your friends and family.. you will be surprised to see just how much people love homemade!~
