Catching up...

 Well it certainly has been a while since I posted... 

I have been so tired and lazy lately its kind of scary, so scary that I went to the Dr. and got some blood work, still waiting on results.

Well enough about my woes, lets do some project catch ups...

All the following items have been made using files from Designsoncloud9.com

Cute little print and cut end of school year treats for my Daughter's Class mates.

Engagement gift for Hubs Nephew and Fiance'

I used an Air Eraser to Etch the glasses

Frame for my Mother using vinyl and handmade paper flowers

Another Print and cut end of the year gift for my Daughters Teacher 

it contains movie size candy, couple bags of microwave popcorn and a Gift Voucher to Redbox

and finally a random card that I made

I think we are all caught up...

Altered Wood Frame

Hey there! My last DT project for Joyslife.com was a Home Decor project.
This was a tough one for me, but this is what we came up with.

I bought one of those unfinished wooden frames from Michael's covered it with a patterned paper of her choice, inked the edges then we stamped all the words she chose from the Joyslife.com stamp set 

"Everyday Occasions".

I cut some patterns from Designs on Cloud 9 ~ I used the magnolia flower from the "Fancy Flowers" set and the rose from the "Curly Flowers" set to make the dimensional flowers.

Needed to add a little bling on the frame so I followed some of the swirls on the paper with Stickles and glued on some skittles or dew drops over the flowers in the pattern.

 Whala.... a pretty little girly frame.  

I may take it to work with me or give it to my daughter for her room.

Thanks for visiting!

Cards

Morning all!  I just wanted to share 2 cards I made... I would love to start making more cards they are just so much more personal to give then a store bought.  Don't get me wrong I still buy the occasional card when it is a last minute deal or an OMGosh I forgot moment (We all have those moments LOL)

Both cards are pinterest.com inspired.  

I have to tell that is one ADDICTIVE sight... so so many cool things and lots and lots of inspiration!!!

This card I made for my Godmother's wedding... 

I used the curly flowers pattern set from Designs on Cloud 9

This one I made for a special friend, for her Birthday!

I used the "Scalloped Circle Shapes" and the "Lacy Tags" Pattern sets from Designs on Cloud 9.

Water Distressed Cardstock Flowers

Well, when I saw these on Gabrielle's Blog ~ Such a Pretty Mess, I knew that I had to play. I made them all one color, but in the future I will use some complimenting colors. They were so easy peasy, my 5 year old daughter even made one... hers is the yellow one.
Pretty good right! Great project for the little ones they can crumple up the flowers once they are spritzed with the water of glimmer mist.

(she said to me... " you really want me to crumple up this pretty flower???")

I dabbed the edges with my cats eye ink after they were all assembled, I was too excited to see them put together...and a little lazy, really I am an impatient person, I want to see the results right away... no time to detail...LOL! My mom says I am my fathers child... she is like OCD when it comes to detail - scary how different we are... both Aries too. Go figure!

Anyway on to the pics of the flowers...

But on this one below I took a little time and I inked the edges of this one and stamped a flourishy image on each layer of it. When I sprayed it with the water the image faded and ran a bit, but I like the effect it gave it ...a soft look. Now I have to cut out some leaves and make somthing to put them on.

Thanks for looking! Have a Great Holiday!

Another great flower tut find....

Check out Gabrielle's blog Such a Pretty Mess... she has some beautiful inspiration on her blog!

Dahlia

This is my very first ever attempt at making my own paper flower. I saw one of these made out of coffee filters on Ideas for Scrapbookers & I had to try it। Mine is made out of card stock (med-light weight card stock) I think it is a good first attempt... time consuming but the outcome is worth it. Now I have to make a layout to go with it. TFL. xxx, Staci
