altered light switch plate

this was so much fun to make i seen a pin on pinterest where 

a lady had altered her's in the steam punk theme and it made me 

want to alter my light switch plate 

so my craft room is very shabby chic girly so i wanted to 

do mine geared toward that theme so i used the new fairy belle line from prima 

along with flowers from that line and chip board from that line i fussy cut out 

the fairy and a few butterflys  i mod podged down the back ground paper 

then inked the edge with tea dye destress ink then i took a paper doily and 

rubbed some destress ink onto that the mod podged it over the corner then i applied the 

pearls , chipboard piece, flowers and butterflys then i took and sprayed some 

clear acrylic sealer spray and wal la all done!!!

well the challenge was to create a altered item scrap page any thing 

really but i had to have a picture of a woman who has 

made a impact on your life and well i guess that woman is my mom 

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 

my goal was to create most of the embellishments by hand 

  

so on this photo frame i use hand made rolled roses and pearlst

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
 

TFL... hugs Kimmie
