Throwback Thursday Challenge-Monsters

Hi everyone! This week Emma's Throwback Thursday challenge is to use Paper Doll Dress Up with the Monster theme. I'm so glad she choose this cartridge because it gave me a chance to FINALLY use it! I know, it's such a cute cart, but I never know what to use it for. So her challenge was to do a 3D or altered project and I decided to alter a picture frame! ...I know we are months away from Halloween, but isn't this just too cute! :) ...I even pulled out my acrylic paint and painted the edges black...

I love the Frankenstein, he is so handsome ...lol...

I like to use modge podge when I make pic. frames for the embellies to make sure nothing falls apart..

It gives it a glossy finish too..and for the 'Happy Halloween' I cut that from Lyrical Letters and used tons of stickles for some bling bling!

I used some string as the spiders 'web' and I used my hot glue gun to adhere everything down...those guys are there for good! :p

I didn't glue the spider down, that way he can swing back and fourth on his web..
I really love the new Peachy Keen stamps that Emma used on her lil monster...hopefully I can get some soon! ((Crossing my fingers that I win!!)) They're so cute...well thanks for taking a look!

My 1st Project as a Designer for BBTB2..

Happy Monday everyone! I'm so excited to share with you my very first project as a DESIGNER  for BBTB2! This week we were asked to use the card with the 3 flowers from the From My Kitchen cartridge. I decided to use mine as a picture frame...with a pic of Natalie of course! I didn't know what to do with this cut at first, but my sweet hubby gave me this idea..so he gets the credit..lol!

I used the Home Accents cart for the 'grow' and did some inking and added some white dots with my gelly pen. I also used my corner punch to round the edges on the frame.

I welded all the words together on my Gypsy, and used the Lyrical Letters cart for the letters. The tag was cut from Plantin Schoolbook and I inked it for an aged look. The flourish is from Home Decor.

I added  this little 'oh, baby' bracket I found in my stash.

For the flowers I used Walk in my Garden for the little red flowers, I used a flower punch for the center one and cut it out from news paper and inked it up. And used big primas and a brad for the center.

Well I hope you all enjoyed that! I love the way it came out and I'm planning on framing it! Be sure to stop by BBTB2 to see the great  ideas from the Design Team! Thanks for stopping by!

Love My Grandma

Hi everyone, I'm back! Woo-hoo! I feel like I have been away from the blogging world for so long! Well I am finally moved into my new house and I already have my craft room all ready to go ((that was the 1st room I unpacked! lol))..I will have to show you all pics of my new space..it's so great, I looove it!! I couldn't believe how much scrapbooking stuff I have, I must have packed up about 10 boxes! wow!..but I have been scrapbooking for about 6 years now, so I have quite a collection of things! I can't wait to get in there and start creating, for now I just wanted to share a layout I did a few weeks ago for my MIL, it's of her and Natalie when she was just a few days old. I used Lyrical Letters for the words, SYI for the swirls, and A Child's Year for the 'sweet'.  I also stamped the cute little deers and pop dot those and added the prima flowers. Ok hopefully that will hold you over until I make something new! lol! TFL!

'Cherry' Good Wishes

Woohoo! I'm so excited! I just won my first challenge over at Just Buggin! I think I'm gonna celebrate! lol! So here's another card for this weeks Just Buggin' Challenge #22-All about Food. I used the Lyrical Letters cart for the sentiment and the cherries and the Gypsy Wanderings cart for the marque. I used the cuttlebug for the polka dots and did some inking and doodling. I was going for more of a vintage look. Hope you like it! TFL!
