Mother's Day Card

Hey Y'all!

So, when I sat down to write this post...I realized...I should have posted these BEFORE Mother's Day. BUT, oh well!!  I'll be sharing 3 with you that I created this year.  I decided to try and make an easel card.  I have to say.  REALLY simple and there are some great tutorials on YouTube if you'd like to try it.  Just search for Easel Card Tutorial.  If anyone would like...I can make a short one.  I didn't do exact measuring this time of course!

So here's my first card.

I used Graphic 45 Once Upon A Springtime papers.  I had these scraps left over from the fairy mini I made.  Then I used some amazing trim, but I'm not sure where I got it.  :(  I also used some rose buds and mini roses from I Am Roses.  I used brown inkadinkadoo pigment ink for distressing and some pop dots for dimension.  The butterflies are an older Martha Stewart punch and I put diamond stickles on the top.  I also used some ivory colored card stock on the inside for space to write the message in the card. 

Thanks for taking a look!! 

Altered ATG Stand

Wow!!  Been so long since I've posted.  I really didn't know how long!!  Well, here for just a short post today.  I got a great ATG stand and I altered it of course to go with my scrappy room deor. 

Here's the pics

I used RED paper...just from my stash.  No IDEA who makes it.  Some Red roses and rose buds, the black bling was purchased from JoAnn's on a very small roll.  I had a coupon!!  The patterned paper is from Hobby Lobby by the Paper Studio.  I used black acrylic paint by Folk Art as well.  The red ribbon around the edges of the base was also purchased from Hobby Lobby in the Sewing Section.  I did this simple because I didn't want to have to deal with a lot of embellishments and my ATG at the same time.  When I was done, I covered the entire stand with Modge Podge Glossy to seal it.  Great way to keep your ATG right where you need it.  I purchased the stand from Ebay.  If you'd like the seller name please let me know!  Thanks for taking a peek!

Need Paper?

Hey y'all! 

I am a paper hoarder and I admit it!  So, I've been cleaning out my stash and I have an entire large flat rate priority box full!

I'd like to sell this paper if anyone is interested.  It has all brands. Most of it is 12X12.  Some seasonal papers, die cut pages, solids, patterns...just about anything you can name!  I can provide a few photos of some of the papers, but no way I can take photos of each piece.  :)  I can also give you some brand names and collections.

So, if anyone is interested...please leave a comment or email me at shelly_anne00@yahoo.com and we can work out the details.  Paypal is acceptable!

Thanks so much!

Altered Box for Susie & Page for Sally

Hey Y'all!!

I just finished an altered box for my best scrappy friend Susie.  :)  I finally got it to her so I can now post the pics and share with you.  :)

First I took a box that I purchased from Hobby Lobby. 

Then I measured the box and traced around the outside to cut paper to cover the sides and top.

Then I cut out what I had measured and traced. 

I then painted the box with a purple color that coordinated with my paper.  I painted the edges, the entire inside of the lid and box and bottom of the box.  I neglected to take photos of that part!  :)

Then I applied the papers after letting the box dry.  I used Glossy Modge Podge.  If you don't like the shiny look you might want to use Matte Modge Podge.  After I had it all modged podged and dried, I added some feet to the bottom.  I used tiny wooden spools for the feet and painted them gray.  Then, I embellished the top with all kinds of goodies! 

Here's the finished top of the box.

I have also made a slide show with some close ups of the top.  :)

Passing on Some $aving$

Hey Y'all!!

Do you love butterflies?  I sure do and I just love the little nylon butterflies we've all seen in those youtube videos and in those etsy stores.  My friend Monica(scrappin4MyBoys) found a great deal on some of these items and she wants to pass on the savings to scrappers on a budget.  :)

So, here's the link to Monica's Blog >>>>>  Scrappin4MyBoys

Please go visit her before you purchase butterflies anywhere else.  She also has some Crystals, Black Mesh Bling, very very cute nylon Bumble Bees and has some slider buckles on the way.

Here are some photos of what she has

 
Thanks for taking a look and go on over to visit Monica's blog today! 

Cancer Survivor Mini

Hey Y'all!!  I recently joined in on another Random Act of Kindness group over on the Scrapbeach.  You can visit the forum board HERE.  The Group was started by Laurie and she asked that we all make a mini for cancer survivors.  You could choose the color you wanted to do or you could go by the type of cancer.  A lot of people did mini's in salute or tribute to family and friends that have died from or have had cancer. Each type of cancer has an assigned color.  I choose Yellow because I had this beautiful collection by Teresa Collins called Carolina Breeze.  :)  Yellow is normally not my color but I must say this collection is just beautiful.  I kept this really simple since I wasn't sure if the person this would be going to is in to crafting at all. 

So, I made a video for a change!!  No slide show.  :)  So here's a pic of the front: 

Now here's the video if you'd like to see the inside.  I apologize in advance for all the aaaahh's and uums!   Been a long time since I actually talked on a video.
