Treasured Memories Box

Hello everyone!!

I just wanted to do a quick share with you :) and show you the box I altered. My hubby got me this box a couple years ago for mother's day from Walmart and it sat waiting to be altered. Well my hubby everytime he would walk into my room he would say "Soooo when you gonna alter that box??" Finally I did cause I didn't have anything else that was priority lol. I turned it into a "Treasured Memory Box" the inside is like a configuiration box to hold our wedding pics and anything else I feel like belongs in there. This is also my June DT Project for Craftsupplies1...I know I am a little late posting hehe.  So here it is.....

I really challenged myself to do Shabby Chic and not veer off..like I always do..lol. I think it turned out super cute and shabby. The papers really helped me with that too. They are the Prima Princess Collection which absolutely adore:) 

So here is a few more close-ups and as always I will post my video at the end with all the details.

Here is a close-up of the front of the door. Its the top part that was once a picture frame. I used some chicken wire chipboard for the background and some yummy stuff from Craftsupplies1.

This is the bottom half of the front of the door.

this is a close-up of the side of the box I tried to lace up like a corset :)

Here is a distant view :)

And finally the inside of the box...I hung my pictures from Tim Holtz hanger paper clips....so cute..well at least I think so

This is a close-up of the configuration part of it. It was a lot of fun to decorate those little cubbies..also a lot of patience!

Here you can see my pictures hanging and also where I have pulled a few out. Even though you can't really see the hangers.

This is bottom part of the inside that is hidden behind the hangers.

And a picture of the inside without my hanging pictures... I think it turned out super cute and I am proud of myself for really making it shabby chic like I wanted:)

Last but not least here is my video with all the details that is also over on my YouTube channel! 

Thanks for stopping by and comments are always welcome and appreciated :)

Vintage Shabby Chic Stick-pin Book

Hello everyone!!

I just wanted to do a quick share of my Shabby Chic Stickpin book that I made. It is totally inspired by Faythchik777's tutorial on YouTube (love her work!). I love to make stickpins, it's just sooo relaxing!! Anyways...I followed her tutorial and another one I found on Pinterest and came up with this:

The flowers and doilies are from Craftsupplies1, as well as some of the laces. I have a complete explaination video that is on my YouTube channel below, if your interested. 

Here is a close-up of the flowers, I sprayed them with my Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays. Love how they turned out!! 

Here is the back I used my modeling paste and Art Is Stencil (just like Linda did) and some texture paint to make it appear more soft.

Here is a picture of the side view with the ruffly trim :)

Here is some pictures of the inside with all the stickpins I made :)

Here is a close-up of the doily I attached to the corner with a little string bow. The doily is from Craftsupplies1...she sells a lot of them now and they are soooo gorgeous!

Here is a picture of the front inside cover with the little pocket I made to hold tags. Here you can also see the vintage lace I used to cover the whole inside of the book.

Here is a picture of the tags I made to go in the pockets one I used for empty stickpins and the other is just for prettiness! :D

And finally here is my YouTube video with all the details

Remember To Live Your Dreams

Hello everyone!!

I am super excited to share with you the mixed media canvas I created for my daughter for her 13th birthday present. I did it as a reminder to her to always live her dreams....hence the title and little license plate. I also used the window with the decorative plate over it to represent nothing holding her back. Also while I was creating it I decided to do my first start to finish process video. I think both the canvas and video turned out better than I had hoped for. I was originally creating this for the Lindy's Stamp Gang April Color challenge but my life decided to get in the way a little bit. Anyways...here is a photo of the canvas....

I used some trims from Lavish Laces and Craftsupplies1. The metal hearts are from MooreArtFromTheHeart Artfire Store. The flowers are mostly Prima with a few from Craftsupplies1, like the pink rose buds. There is random metal embellies from Prima and the chipboard hinge and window are from Gina's Designs. The number 13 plaque and gears under the license plate are from Sa Crafters. The sprays I used from Lindy's Stamp Gang are Ramblin Rose Pink, Edelweiss Moss Green, Blue Hawaiin Blue, Wake Me Up Before You Go Gold, and Cocoa Bean Copper. 

Here a few close-ups of the texture and colors :)

And here is my first start to finish video...I am pretty excited it turned out better than I thought it was going to :)
