Another inexpensive find at Michael’s, this little wooden haunted house cutout is from Lara’s Crafts – think it was $2. I covered it with paper from Bo Bunny – my son gave his opinion about not understanding using the word paper (which he thought was way cool though) on a house, but I just liked [...]

I have to admit, this one will be strange for me. It will be my first without taking my son trick-or-treating. I’ll be taking him over to his dad’s this afternoon and he’ll go out tonight over there in Champaign with his dad. I’ll definitely be taking some pics beforehand though of my little skeleton! [...]

This was a fun little project using up the scraps from a larger Halloween piece I’ll hopefully be able to photograph and share tomorrow. The paper was from K & Co and i just covered small wood tiles front and back with the paper, trying to somewhat center the spiders on the fronts of the [...]

This ATC was all about me playing with textures. I started by painting the base with crackle paint (Ranger). I added a strip of copper tape at the top and then pulled out a bunch of We R Memory Keepers doodads and started pulling out pretty coppery things. Well, they coppers didn’t match the tape, [...]

ATC’s are something I’ve eyed for years, meant to try, yet somehow never actually done. Until now! Here are my first two. Both are using pieces cut from a piece of paper from Flair that has vintage Christmas postcards. I love the images on this paper and think I just might make ALL of them [...]

Yes, I now Grandparents’ Day came and went already, but this was in the September issue of Scrapbook News + Review so I couldn’t share it then! I loved how this came out. I used some old Bo Bunny papers (I’m such a sucker for lines with lots of matchy matchy elements in different patterns, [...]

Still playing around with these glass tiles to see what they can do. Some things I’ve learned so far: Glass heat embosses nicely – but it stays HOT for a long time. Leave it be for at least 5-10 minutes. Aleene’s Tacky Glue, Beacon’s 3-in-1 Advanced, and E6000 will be your best friends for attaching [...]

This is a glass tile (found in the general crafts section at either Hobby Lobby or Michael’s – think the brand was Darice, maybe?). I used crackle accents to attach the paper (Basic Grey) to the back (mainly because I can’t find my Glossy Accents at the moment) and was hoping it might crackle even [...]

Seriously? WordPress has a feature on the stats page that lets you know what kinds of internet searches bring traffic to the blog. For about the past month or so I’ve gotten numerous versions of “Mod Podging Your Fingernails”. As in multiples per day. Eek. So this is my public service announcement for the day. [...]

I’d been wanting to try one of these wooden purses forever and finally sat down and did this one. All the papers are from American Crafts, the flowers from Prima and the chipboard letter from Zsiage. I used black Stickles for the flower centers. The wooden purse itself was a Don Mechanic purse from Michael’s [...]

This was in the September issue of Scrapbook News + Review. I made this for my son and I to write little letters to each other. He’s 7 and gets the biggest kick out of writing letters (usually short and sweet “I love you Mommy”) and OMG – does he LOVE envelopes, lol! So, I [...]

Yea, I’m getting a little addicted to these! Kinda cool how many you can get out of a single extra mini book page and some paper scraps! These two were in the September issue of SNR and I have to admit, the first one is probably my favorite yet. And it’s all the paper – [...]

So far I’ve only done one piece with this and it’s actually a keychain rather than a pendant, but pendants are why I purchased this and got inspired. So once I get some playtime I’ll show some examples! So anyways. This is actually TILE. From Lowe’s! It comes like this. So that’s 72 pieces for [...]

This was another piece I had in the August issue of Scrapbook News + Review. All the paper beads were made from the Beacon Hill line from Daisy D’s. I varied the shapes a little this time by adding the simple straight cut rolls to my usual triangles. The pendant is the same paper, layered [...]
