Hi guys!

 how I completed the project.

2.   Ink in a circular motion over the raised embossed area of the paper bag.

3. Take out the white doily and do the same.

4.    Punch holes in the paper bag and doily (for the twine).

5.   Adhere the felt flower to the paper bag with a glue dot.

6.   Decide on a treat and put it in the paper bag.

7.   Almost done, just decide whose name to put on the card.

Bird Cage mini album~Clear Scraps!

Hi !!

Yesterday I was up on Clear Scraps with a Bird Cage mini album.   It is much more than meets the eye

 ( always is, right):)  I have collected saying, words, special thoughts to put them in a special book.  This project was perfect for that.  Favorite mini, favorite paper and favorite embellishments!!!

This  Bird Cage chipboard album comes with five pages, the inside three, I covered with paper

( JBS/Wren) and the front and back cover I sealed with matte sealer.  I clipped the front cover and the first page together, so the pattern paper would show through.  On the front cover I clustered embellishments, using my favorite things and colors.

I added a couple library card envelopes (Curtsey Boutique) to several pages.  As I collect saying I will have a place to stick them in.  I used Beacon/ Fast Finish Decoupage and 3-in-1 for adhering the embellishments to the front cover.

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

Would love for you to stop by Clear Scraps and look at all of the mini album , in acrylic and chipboard So many different styles:):)

Try It Tuesday~ a baby shoe pin cushion!

Hi guys!

Time for Try It Tuesday~

I had this project in Que for sometime now,  with the new baby on the way (soon to be here) I decided it was time to see if I can make this turn into what I have in my head:):)  

 So my idea is a pin cushion, boy style:):)

I used a muslin bag (Curtsey Boutique has them) and tied the end with twine and worked it into the foot part of the baby shoe.  I took the shoe laces out and put in seam binding ribbon.  I tied it tight and that is what is keeping the pin cushion part inside the baby shoe.  No glue is needed.

I decorated it and stamped a little tag.  I used old buttons, stick pins, safety pin, seam binding ribbon and beads and a charm. 

Can't wait until our little guy gets here:):)

The Curtsey Boutique~stacking boxes!!!

Hi guys!!!

I did this for The Curtsey Boutique with the gift boxes they carry in the Etsy Shop.

The come in 4X4, 3X3 and 2X2.  So perfect  for nesting in each other or a tower by stacking them on each other.

This is how I started:

1. Cut 7 coordinating  papers in all three sizes.  You will end up with one for each side, top and bottom and one for the inside bottom. Take 1/4" off of each paper cut and center it in each side square.  

2. Ink around all corners and edges.  This will take a few minutes:):)

3. Adhere to side, top/bottom and inside of all three boxes.

4. Decorate the front of the large box (4X4) and the other two, if you like.  Keep embellishments flat, if you want the boxes to fit inside each other.

5.  Adhere embellishments on with a strong glue.

6. The boxes are ready to fill with treats or small toys and placed inside each other.

Supplies Used:

Boxes: The Curtsy Boutique

Paper: Graphic45

Ink: Ranger/Wendy Vecchi

Embellishments: Graphic45, The Curtsey Boutique

Trim: The Curtsey Boutique

Glue: Beacon

Hope you enjoy this!!
