Try It Tuesday~Remember this old bucket?

Hi guys!!

I have a cool re-purposed bucket for you.

I'm not sure if I have posted this picture, but it was one of the things I got at my moms a few weeks ago.

I wanted to use it for magazines so this is what I did.

I painted a coat of Gesso (Claudine Hellmuth) on the front and let it dry.

I then used a stencil by Clear Scraps ( brick wall) with modeling paste~love the look and texture it added to the bucket.  Then I painted the front with flowers using some acrylic paints.

I tied some cool stuff on, um~ like the 6 brass stencil and old key ( more past junkin' finds).

When everything was good and dry I stamped over the area with a background stamp by Darkroom Door called  Chicken wire

After I was done I sealed the bucket with the Matte multi-medium by Claudine Hellmuth.

Thanks for stopping by~

See ya soon~

Try It Tuesday~Ceiling tin re-purpose with JBS!!!

 

Hi guys ~ I have been doing some re-purposing again using vintage goodies from the JBS Mercantile {Flea Market section}.  This is a vintage ceiling tin. 

 This is what I started with.  I used acrylic paint to add some color to it.  I did paint it with Gesso first. The products I used are by Claudine Hellmuth / Studio Paints by Ranger.

All other products are by Jenni Bowlin Studio.  The feathers, chipboard pieces, rub-ons and stickers all can be found in the JBS Mercantile.  I have done several blog posts on the note pad cut in thirds from a legal size note pad {purchased from office supply store} you can find that HERE.

 

I used a floral frog to display the note pad/vintage ceiling tin on.  Check out the JBS Mercantile/Flea Market section for more one-of-a -kind items.

Turkey's ~ Tim style!!!

 

 Hi there~turkey time again!!! Wanted to share these little guys with you because you still have time before Thanksgiving to make you a herd of them.  These are made with the rosette dies {you'll need all three} by Tim Holtz.  He has a tutorial on his blog with the print outs also.  You will need Claudine Hellmuth's sticky-back canvas to make the head of the turkey.  Other than that some colorful fallish paper and your ready~

The link to the tutorial on Tim Holtz blog is HERE.

 

 

They even look great on Pecan pie, as a pie topper!!!!  I had such a fun time making these. This year I'm going to make the rosette Christmas  trees ~I'll keep you posted on that!!

 

 

But my favorite turkey of all is this little guy~

 

 

He was made in 1984 by youngest son, probably with some help!!! A family favorite!!!!

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

I have lots of cool vintage Christmas projects to show you and I will start with that after Thanksgiving.  I have a guest blogger for Dec. 6 ~ first one I have ever had. She is special!!!

So see ya tomorrow for Try It Tuesday!!!!

 

Try it Tuesday fun!!!

This was super fun to make!!!I used the Core'dinations ( Jenni Bowlin) cardstock for the base of my small tag/card!! I added some trim and my handmade flower ( from an old phone book), placed a button in the center of the flower.  The lady image is by Darkroom Door~she has a pink tint to her and she worked perfect for this card.  This is another company that has fabulous stuff1!  I used the bingo card in the center~that was the challenge to make a card using a JBS bingo card!

This challenge was the products and I happened to have all four products needed for this.  I was taking a break from scrapbooking~so this is what I came up with~my version of a photo stand!! All of the products used on this wooden spool are JBS!  I used some Claudine Hellmuth multi-med matte and Helmar 450 adhesive to get it put together!!  So my challenge to you is take a break from scrapp'n and be "creative". Would love to hear from you!!! Have a great day!!
