A few more cards....how despicable!

Well I have been at it again and I used 2 of these cards to enter a challenge on Facebook. We needed to use our swap items to make something so I made a few cards....

This one was a beautiful colored image I was sent......

This one used a paper with raindrops and flowers perfect for spring!

And I bet you were wondering about my blog title? Well wonder no more, he is not from anything sent but too cute not to share!

A Minion

What a perfect birthday card!

FFF at The Greeting Farm!

Well it's that time again and I have a new entry the theme is The Great Outdoors....again I opted to keep it simple!

She is so cheeky!

The Greeting Farm challenge

I just love The Greeting Farm! I think their stamps are just too cute. I love the cheeky line. I recently discovered their blog. Every week they have a new challenge and I decided to play along for the FFF challenge! This challenge was to use lace and pearl. I decided to use Birthday Anya with a little lace, a few pearls.....I used some holographic embossing powder on her cake icing, and paper pieced her dress. I kept it pretty simple and I like the way it turned out.....

Don't forget to stop by the blog and enter their challenges!

Ol fashioned Washboard.....

Okay, I am constantly in Goodwill scouting for an awesome deal and I have found a bunch. My project was this old washboard. I unfortunately did not get a before shot as I moved my craft room and could not find my camera. It was just brown and one side at the top had the original advertising and the other someone had painted a scene of an old mill.....so I used gesso over all the wood and painting. I then painted it warm white with mint julep on top and did some distressing/sanding and embellished it....voila

This will look beautiful in my laundry room!

Dream

I am altering like crazy lately and wanted to share my small project. I went to Michaels and found a clearance wooden frame for 1.49. I brought it home and used some beautiful fold art paint in calypso sky and warm white with a crackle glaze.....I added some flowers and the phrase "Dream" I used some chipboard and my hot glue gun to make a kickstand for the frame....it turned out lovely in my foyer.........

Altered Canvas

I was feeling nostalgic I suppose and decided to alter a canvas with an older picture of Aiden....we are talking circa 9 months. I will not forget it. It was his very first 4th of July and very first cupcake....
I love altering things and loved altering this canvas with a mix of paints, flowers, textures, metals, etc.

Happy Crafting!
