month of Aug Design team projects

wow time has really flown by this year for me 
seems just like yesterday we were bringing in the new year 
at my house ......
well august brings alot of excitement for me because this month 
for Shabby Scraps we focused on using the gorgeous
fabric tape and i have had a addiction for that 
stuff since the very first picture was 
put up in the Shabby Scraps Shop. 
so with out further babbling lol 
here are some pictures 
 here is a victorian boot i found at a local
thrift/antique store it was in not so great condition but 
i seen the possibility's in it 
here is a befor picture 
  please excuse my messy desk lol 
its my creative process lol  ....
so as u can see i painted it white 
and then covered the whole thing in 
white lace then i use some 4 mm flat back pearl trim to
trimmed the whole thing 
then uses some pink eyelets and ribbon to lace it up 
then i made some cute rolled roses out of the 
beautiful Shabby Scraps fabric tape 
i know its pretty simple but i love the soft lady like  feel of it
pt.2 of the month of Aug DT project 
yep you read right this month we had to make 
two  yes two projects using yes my fav 
the fabric tap 
part two of this month was a theme we had to make 
a tag show casing the fabric tape 
well just one tag wasnt enough for me lol 
so i used my sizzix pro die cutting machine and 
the pro die titled album tags and made my 
self a sweet shabby chic mini for 
mine and hubby's 9 yr anni
so heres the pic
i used a ton of shabby scraps in this mini
and love the soft shabby chic look of it
soooooo after a extremely long post i think im going to say

she has all way been a guiding light in my life so 
any who i made her a alter photo frame to start then i wanted to make more 
so  made her a mini album then her mini album needed a box 
and then i wanted to make her a decoration cause any one who knows 
my mom knows she loves knick knacks i made her a bird house

trim and a molded butterfly ( i have a you tube tutorial on that) 
shabby scraps acrylic flowers pearl bows and lace butterfly's
this is the mini i made my mom it is this shape to fit inside the box i made here 
the photo frame was a RAK from crassia during Christmas time 
the flowers are all hand rolled roses i used another molded buttterfly 
and pearl trim and light pink bling 
i also made a mini album charm 
the paper i used on the whole set is chateau lavender  
and use a seam binding method 
her is the box i made 
its covered in the same paper line as the rest with lots of lace 
and hand rolled roses with a sentament from the paper line 
that says memorys and the cameo on the front is hand made by me 
i use a mold muse mold from etsy and used sculpty to make it then i painted it
this is the bird house i made my mom is is covered in the same paper line 
and compleatly covered in rolled roses an i trimed the roof in pearls 
and added a few pearl loops in the flowers

MDC April Challenge

The requirements:

MDC April Challenge
Theme: Recycled Wreath
Requirement: 50% Recycled Materials
Deadline: April 15th
The challenge for April is to create a wreath using recycled materials.  Be creative!  The only requirements are that it resembles a wreath and 50% of the materials used are recycled.
This challenge begins on March 21, 2012 and ends on April 15, 2012.  Voting will take place April 16th through the 19th.
Submit a photo of your completed project below.
The result :
The wreath i made is 98% made of recycled material
material's i used are 
  • 1 ACU top 
  • 1 ACU pant
  • 2 wire hangers 
  • 1 old red t shirt 
  • 1 old blue t shirt 
  • 1 old white t shirt 
  • a americana heart and star i found at goodwill 
  • 3 new buttons 
  • 6 feet of 20 gauge wire 
  • lipstick red folk art paint 
  • vintage white folk art paint 





to start making my wreath i bent the two hangers in a circle 
i had hubby cut the top of the hangers off for me 
then use 20 gauge wire an wired them together 
making a hook at the top of the smaller one 
so i have something to attach the heart to 
then i made a huge pile of shredded ACU material 
then i just tied them on the wire hanger circles 
then i made flowers out of the old t shirts 




 then i pulled apart the heart and sanded it and re painted it 
then sanded it to age it a little again 
then hot glued some buttons onto the blue star 





this is the result 


then i twisted together 4 pieces  of 20 gauge wire 
and made the hanger for the heart 
then i attached the flowers to the wreath by hand sewing them on!
then i attached the heart to the loop of wire hanger with a heavy duty stapler

some one squirreled and told me its your birthday!!!!

I just love how this card turned out!!!
One of my dearest friends asked me to make her 
a card with a squirrel on the 
the front so this is what i came up with!
I used tons of wild orchid craft flowers.
and the paper is from dcwv and my minds eye. 
the image is a digital  motivet stamp and
colored with my spectrum noir and copics.
the sentiment i came up with and printed it out and turned into ribbons.
and i used some lace ribbon and a paper doilies to tie it all together
the inside of the card! 
thanks for looking hugs Kimmie

Feel better soon card!

Happy first day of spring!!!!
well as winter turns into spring in Washington state 
it feels like the infamous yucky cold come knocking on our door!
right now every one i know has a cold, cough or the flu!
soooooo I am trying my hardest to stay away so i don't get it 
but i want them to know i still care an love them!
sooooo with that being said i decided to make 
a few get well soon cards!
i got the idea for this card by watching you tube 
the channel i seen the flowers on is: vadeler
she made the prettiest card!


the card is a standard A-2 card
the designer paper i used is from hot off the press
the solid paper is from the dcwv line the chateau lavender
and the punches i used are from Martha Stewart
the boarder punch is called the arch boarder punch 
the butterfly punch is called 3-1 Classic Butterfly Punch
the sentiment is from hot off the press stamp of the month club!
soooo using my cricut and gypsy 

i made these cute little tulips!
 the cartridges i use are:
for the tulip flower i used - mothers day bouquet
for the tulip stem i used - walk in my garden
these are the cuts i used

to get the tulip shape i just trimmed off two of the petals 

then you just fold the bottom petal up wards and tack down with 
a foam dot to have the 3D look!
Then i used my pebbles glitter chalks to edge it !
to attach it to the stem simply snip off the tulip tops of the die cut 
and adhere it down with some wet glue i used glossy accents 
but any glue will work!
 to get the look on the card i just layered up three of the stems 
and then i cut apart another for the leaves and 
added the leaves on top of the it to give it a 
bouquet look!
then for the little pot!
 i drew out a pot and pot rim on thin chipboard 
an cut it out to make my own little 
stencil!
 then i traced it on some light blue card stock and cut it out!
then i used my pebbles glitter chalks to edge it!
I glue the rim down to the top and placed it on the card 
with some foam dots!
and then I hot glued down a organza bow!
then just punched a few small butterfly's in lavender and placed them around the flowers
and a large one on the flower pot! 
Thanks for Looking 
and i wish you all the flowers spring can bring!!!
hugs Kimmie
