Transfer Foil Sheets "On The Outside" with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L~

Hi guys!
Today I'm sharing an "adhesive on the outside" project
using Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets and Adhesive 
Sheets 4X6.  It is easy and fun!!

I have a tutorial over on the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog with
all the details.  All you need is two products and you can
cover a gift tin.  Any tin will work.  You put the adhesive on the "outside"
and then lay the foil over it. Rub and pull up.

I have the details for the ribbon tie on the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog.
Check it out!!!
Thanks for stopping by
and a BIG Merry Christmas to All!

Handyman's Holiday Blog Hop~

HI guys!!! 

Thanks for joining us for the Handyman's Holiday Blog Hop

Make the rounds and be inspired!

The challenge put before us was to alter a paint brush.  I've never tried that :) kinda of scary too.

But here we go. Hope you enjoy!!

I had such a fun time creating this.  I started out going in one direction and turned out doing completely different techniques and using different colors.  I wanted a shabby chic look and I think I accomplished that.

Gesso handle and then paint with color.

I used stencils and modeling paste to create texture on the handle. I added different colors of modeling paste, with my fingers, rubbing it into the grooves of the brush.  I kept doing this until I achieved the "look" I wanted.  You know the one~ when you say , that's it!!!

I wanted this altered paint brush to double as a pin board.  So I kept that in mind while

 I was creating. I needed a way to display the brush because I wouldn't be using the
 handle as a hanger (it would be upside down).

I came up with this~

 This is the way I will display my altered brush.  I can change out the photo but I really love this one. I "give thanks" for them every day. Such a blessing to us!!

 And here is a closeup of the embellishment collage~
Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk ink was used to shade the leaves and the "6" embellishment showcased on the front of the altered paint brush.  I used Helmar 450 to adhere the elements.

Products used:

DecoArt / gesso, modeling paste, paint.

Viva/modeling creme (orange, gold and cream color)

Stencils: Crafters Workshop, Clear Scraps.
Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk inks

Re-purpose project and layout with JBS!!

Hi everyone, I'm setting up blog posts because I'll be taking a week off for the holidays.  This is some JBS work that I did that you can see more in detail HERE!!!  I used the new line Boy meets Girl.  So cute!!!!

I love to alter old stuff and make it useful again. So much of it has so much character, just like this vintage album page.

This is a clock face that was altered into {what I call } a wisdon board. Just little things I would like to talk to my grands about!!! :):) A reminder for me~

You can see this blog post HERE!!!

Hi everyone~I hope you enjoyed Blog week with Vintage Street Market and May Arts.  You still have one more day on the Jenni Bowlin Halloween Treats Blog Hop.  I have linked them just in case you missed all the inspiration!!!!  This was my final project I submitted for the Jenni Bowlin Ambassador call. I felt this was my best piece.   I did have some help though~but don't tell JBS:):)

The cat out ran the blue bird so I got some cool blue feathers to add to my project. :):) The spoon is stamped using metal stamps by Impress Art.

This is the Wren line {to date my favorite line}~gorgeous colors and images.  The project was designed and made with a heavy heart.  It is dedicated to my parents~they new where I wanted to go with my ART and supported that!!!  They are the BEST!!!!

********************************************************************

Altered "beer" Carrier

This was a carrier left behind in my pantry. I threw it in the trash and then I had that "light bulb moment"-you know the one, hey I can alter that and make a cool organizer for my favorite buttons!!! I used Star Buck Coffee jars for my containers. I used Glossy Accents to adhere the Jenni Bowlin milk caps to the lids!!

Here is a side view so you can see the "cool" dimension on the front. I put a bunch of vintage "goodies" on the front to decorate. The paper is Jenni Bowlin-most of this is Jenni Bowlin!!!

The finished piece!! Looks great on my scrappy table and love that my buttons are so close. Leave me a comment or become a follower and I will send a Jenni Bowlin "goody" to some lucky winner!!! I will draw at the end of next week. If you link me to your blog I will put you in twice!!! Make sure to leave me a way to contact you. Whoo hoo - lets get "crafty" ladies!!! Have a great day!!!!
