Ahoy There!

Hola chicas aqui hoy les comparto los mini album que yo cree para mis maleta.  Una de ellas la hize durante la clase en vivo del grupo de Creando Con Detalles.

Me encanta crear cosas super shabby chic y con muchos encajes y adornos.  Y una de las cosas que mas me fascinan son las flores y en estos albumes utilize las flores de mi tienda Creating With Details.

Durante la clase tuvimos una invitada especial y me dio un placer en saber que tengo una Fan tan pequeña que le interesa las manualidades y lo que yo creo.  Esa niña me inspiro a mi a crear a este album durante la clase que tuvimos.  Su nombre es Nayeli y su mama es miembra del grupo de Creando Con Detalles.

Bueno este fue lo que Nayeli me inspiro crear para el grupo.

Este papel es de la coleccion Pion Design Shoreline y el digi es de Sherri Baldy Mermaid Besties.

Este me encanto porque es un estilo marinero.  Y como vez use de las Seam Binding  de la tienda de Creating With Details.

El proximo album que es el que mas me encanta por sus colores.  Este es mi Pretty in Pink Shabby Album.  Son el mismo estilo solo que los adornos son diferente.

Bueno como ven que cada album tiene algo que mas me encanta desde las flores hasta los adornos y cintas todo le da un LOOK excepcional!  Espero que le hayan gustado mis albumes y aun tenemos el Reto del Mini Album este que les presente.

Shabbylicious Recycled Oatmeal Treasure Box

Me encanta como quedo este proximo proyecto porque es hecho de un carton reciclado.  Yo no soy fan de la cocina pero si me encanta la Avenita.  Cuando era pequeña me mama siempre me hacia una avenita en forma de crema y que deliciosa era esa avenita.  Ahora que soy mama le hago la avenita a mis hijos y ellos tambien le encantan como yo le hago su avenita.

Pero bueno el proyecto de hoy no es una receta como muchas piensa...lol!  Es algo que hize usando esa cajita de carton de la Avena Oatmeal.  No se que me dio en hacer esta Shabbylicious Recycled Oatmeal Treasure Box, pero lo que si puedo decir es que tanto la avenita como la cajita son WOW!

Muchas en el grupo esperan con anticipacion esta cajita que hice de mi carton de avena y lo mas lindo es que lo hice de una cajita reciclada.

Para comenzar les dejo saber que no fue nada de facil.  Les confieso que dañe 2 antes de tener esto como yo lo queria.  El problema no era la decoracion sino que el problema era como construir la idea que tenia yo en mente con esta cajita de Quaker Oatmeal.  Al final el resulto fue hermoso.

Bueno aqui les comparto mi cajita Shabbylicious Recycled Oatmeal Treasure Box.

Materiales de esta Cajita de Avena:

Quaker Oatmeal Box - Empty

April Showers Brings Flutterbug Plaque

April is a very special month for me.  It was the month in which I first became a mother.  I have two beautiful daughters both born in April and they are certainly April Showers, full of lots of love and joy.  They are each distinctly different, but loving in many ways.  

I created this Flutterbug Plaque for my Karla "K" who turned 17 this April and I wanted her to know that she can always do whatever she sets her heart to do as long as she "BELIEVES"!!!!!

So, as you can see there are so many April Shower surprises for me.  I made my plaque using various supplies and the wood plaques are from ADORNit!

My Springtime Flutterbug Medley Wall plaque is cute for any young lady and very easy to make!

Material used:

Buttons Galore & More Products used:

• Flutterbug Medley
• Rose Garden
• Beacon Adhesive – Tacky Glue
• Zip Dry Glue Adhesive
• Fiskars Scissors
• AdTech Hot Glue
• My Mind’s Eye – Follow Your Heart by Rhonna Farrer Paper Collection
• ADORNit Scalloped - Large Wood Frame
• ADORNit Scalloped Small Wood Frame
• Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink
• Want2Scrap - 3D Chipboard Frame
• Want2Scrap -  Musical Chef Charm
• Want2Scrap - Wonderful Wings by Donna Salazar
• Acrylic Paint
• Glitter
• Dimensionals
• Seam Binding
• Sand block
• Pencil

Directions:

Once  you have gathered all your supplies, you can begin to transform the scalloped frames into something totally cute and ready for Spring.

STEP ONE:

Start by tracing the large scalloped wood frame into you paper of choice.    Be sure to trace on  the back side of the paper.

Once you have both frames the large and the small scalloped frames traced like you see above you can begin to cut.

STEP TWO:

Cut the frames that you just traced and you can use an Xacto knife for the harder to cut places or your Friskar Scissors.

STEP THREE:

Apply Beacon 3 – in -1 adhesive or Zip Dry they both work just as good to your decorative paper and adhere to the scalloped frames.  A good tip is to use a sanding block to sand off the edges of the paper that may hang from the edges.  This also gives it a more distressed look!  Once you have distressed with the sand block use a Distressing Ink like Tim Holt’s to distress the edges of the frames/paper.

STEP FOUR:

Distress the Edges once they are all adhered to the wood frame.

STEP FIVE:

My favorite part is decorating.  These are 3D frames from Want2Scrap and I painted and applied glitter and glue.  I also used Buttons Galore and More Flutterbug Medley Buttons to accent the plaque and threaded a piece of seam binding to the buttons.

I used my Fiskar scissors to cut out another piece similar to the one above to give it the dimensional look.

Finally, to top finish this project I added a few of my favorite things, which are buttons, bling, and seam binding.  I gathered a few buttons that I had laying around added that along with Want2Scrap Musical Chef charm.

Totally Shabby Rose Garden Birdhouse

As a Design Team member of Buttons Galore & More, we were given a Buttons & Birdhouses Designer Challenge.  Now, it wasn't your ordinary birdhouse like the kind that looks like a typical house, instead it was a bit of a challenge.  The idea is that we would all design this house with Buttons Galore & More buttons with a twist of what we would like to see in a birdhouse.

This Buttons & Birdhouses Designer Challenge runs from April 26 - 28th and I will be linking in with Buttons Galore & More website.  If you are a follower of Buttons Galore & More I strongly encourage you to vote for your favorite birdhouse.  One random commenter on the Buttons Galore & More's blog will be win a $10 Starbucks Gift Card and a pair of Fiskars Scissors!!!  Make sure you are following Buttons Galore & More on Facebook and Twitter.

So, let me get back to that birdhouse.  I enjoy a challenge and this project was just that, because I didn't start off with a typical style birdhouse, let's just say that I started out with a birdhouse that was rounded almost like a cylinder.  My first impression was oh this will be fun, but as I started to work with the birdhouse, I ran into the problem that it was not straight it was rounded or cylinder shape.  Anyway, I took on the challenge with a shabby approach and let's just say that I made a Totally Shabby Rose Garden Birdhouse, using the Rose Garden buttons from Buttons Galore & More!

Here is what I started out with and yes, I was quite clueless at first, because I wasn't sure if I was going to paint or what I wanted to create!

NOW do you see what I mean this shape was not easy to work with and it is about 5 1/5" tall and maybe 2 3/4"  round.  Not easy to work with, but I'm very happy with the end result! I was able to bling it out with Want2Scrap Swirl Rhinestones and add flowers too!

Now, keep an open mind, because I like to look at things quite differently and in my little world I enjoy lots of buttons, flowers, ribbon, bling, and lace, and I think if the world was made with those things, it would be such a lovely place.

My Totally Shabby Rose Garden Birdhouse is more for decoration purposes and it looks lovely in my craft room!!! I couldn't imagine a bird hanging out in my shabby birdhouse, but you know what I'm sure any bird with a sense of taste would love to hangout here!

MATERIALS USED FOR THIS PROJECT:

• Buttons Galore & More - Beacon 3/1 Adhesive
• Buttons Galore & More - Rose Garden Buttons
• Buttons Galore & More - Ivory/Pearl Haberdashery Buttons
• Fiskar Scissors
• Artminds - Birdhouse

Other Products Used:

• Want2Scrap - Pearl Swirl Rhinestones
• Hot Pink Grosgain Ribbon
• AdTech Hot Glue Gun
• Shabby Chic Rose Trim - Walmart ($3.97/yd)
• Offray Ribbon Trim 
• Needle/Thread
• Flower
• Carte Bella - Paris Girl Collection
• Acrylic Paint
• Gesso
• Measuring Tape
• Mod Podge
• Xacto Knife
• Tim Holtz Distress Ink

I started out by applying Gesso to the birdhouse, because it was not a smooth finish, and my thought was to paint the birdhouse.  Well, I'm glad I didn't continue with that idea!  

I then measured the birdhouse to see how much paper I needed to cut my paper.  I determined where I needed to cut the circle for both the entrance of the birdhouse and the bird stand.  Now that was not easy what's so ever, but you will need a 1" circle punch.  I actually hand cut the circles with a xacto knife, because I didn't have a circle punch big enough to punch the circles out.

Once, I had all this figured out I then distressed my paper with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Ink.  I then applied the Mod Podge to both the birdhouse and my paper that I cut and adhered the paper.

I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to apply buttons directly to the roof of the birdhouse because of the odd shape, but I tried and it was just not working for me.  With a needle and thread I sewed the Rose Garden buttons to the tip of my trim and glued the trim to the edge of my birdhouse.  I was still in the limbo with the roof of the birdhouse so, I decided to take a trip to my local Walmart and picked up this Ivory white shabby rose trim and with the AdTech Glue Gun I started to apply that to the roof.

I glued the Rose Garden buttons to the shabby rose trim and a ribbon to the top.  The rope that was attached to the birdhouse was not attractive so I disguised it with grosgain ribbon!

The rest of my birdhouse I decorated using Want2Scrap bling, flowers that I picked up at a local shop.  When you live in a small town as this one, you don't have a lot of craft stores to select from; in fact all we have is a Walmart, Kmart, and Quilting Store, which is where I go the most to pickup things that may help with my projects.  The nearest craft store is about 3 hrs away, so I have to work with what I have.

I hope you enjoyed my Totally Shabby Rose Garden Birdhouse, be sure to checkout Buttons Galore & More website and choose your favorite Birdhouse for a chance to win a $10 Starbuck Gift Card!

Shadow Box & Memories

My husband's grandfather recently past away and he was given a lot of his WWII pictures, which I created a Shadow Box.  My husband was so proud of his grandfather and the fact that he served during WWII.  His grandfather served as a Captain in the Army and was stationed in Japan.

We got so many awesome pictures of Japan and the soldiers, but I wanted to create something that we could cherish forever.  As many of you already know, I love bling and I totally love Want2Scrap's bling.  Not only are they affordable, but they are the best in the market.

I used several things to create this shadow box, but I wanted to keep as simple as possible, because my husband's grandfather was not one that liked to brag about his time in the service. 

I purchased the shadow boxes already painted from Scrapbook USA Expo this past March, and they are about 8 x 8", but perfect for this project.

MATERIALS USED:

• Want2Scrap - Black Swirl Bling
• Want2Scrap - Antique Hardware
• Want2Scrap - Black Swirl Finesse
• Want2Scrap - 72 Count LeCreme Pearls
• Shadow Box
• Acrylic black paint
• My Mind's Eye Metal Button
• Time & Season's Paper Collection
• Fabric Flowers

Painted the Antique Hardware with black acrylic paint and embellished it with Want2Scrap's 72 count LeCreme Pearls.

I used burlap and Tim & Season's paper collection to give the picture that vintage look.

I was a bit nervous, because after all they are original pictures and I don't normally like to show pictures of my family especially after a lot of harassment by individuals that do not have anything better to do with their time, but I think that my husband was very proud of his grandfather and it was just perfect after all the heartaches he and his family has had to encounter these past several months.

When using originals just be sure that you preserve them well and that you make at least several copies just in case there is an accident to the original.  You never know with inks how the pictures will do, so I recommend making copies.

I hope you enjoy these Shadow Boxes and be sure to stop by Want2Scrap for your next bling purchase. www.want2scrap.com

Want2Scrap Design Team

Well, as many of you already know I am the new Design Team member for Want2Scrap.  I'm super excited about this new journey/adventure.  I love designing but not as much as I love Want2Scrap's bling and products.

You know I always say that the supplies you use for your craft projects makes a huge difference, and it's definitely a true statement.  When you are shopping for things to make your next project think of things that will say BAM, and Want2Scrap does just that.  From their blings, to their chipboard, to their charms everything they carry definitely says that they are TOP Quality, which equals a TOP Notch Project!

So, join me in my new adventures as I create, bling, and share with Want2Scrap!

Here is something I just created using their AWESOME Frilly Flourish Swirl White Pearl BLING!!! Now what girl won't want to step out looking like she owns the runway!

Cute, Adorable, and definitely Want2Scrap bling!  Check out Want2Scrap at www.want2scrap.com and add these swirls to your shopping cart!

Pretty Girl Baby Onesie

So, I wanted to make something a bit different with my Baby Onesies, and of course, I couldn't finish my project without using some of my all time favorite products.  For this card I couldn't help but to use Buttons Galore & More Pretty Girl Brads.  The brads were just perfect for this project!

Now if you look at this Pretty Girl Onesie it has a tutu that I made out of toule and trim.  I love how this card turned out.

Let's talk about some of the things I used to create this Pretty Girl  Onesie card.  

Materials Used to Create this Pretty Girl Onesie Card:

• Buttons Galore & More Pretty Girl Brads 
• Buttons Galore & More Rose Garden Buttons 
• Want2Scrap Maxxi Girl Pearl Swirl
• Want2Scrap Crown Charm
• Wild Orchard Paper Flowers
• Ribbon
• Pearl trim 
• Authenique Paper Collection
• toule
• Trim
• yellow twine
• hot glue

To create this card just follow my tutorial that can be found via Want2Scrap's blog at http://want2scrap.com/blog/ or their ustream channel http://www.ustream.tv/new/search?q=want2scrap.

The technique is the same just play around with the toule and I found that the best way is to do a running stitch and adhere to the card.  Once you have it glued to the card just hot glue the trim to cover up the running stitch at the top of the toule.  for the Pretty Girl brad I snipped the back of the brad in order to adhere it to the card, it just made it better than trying to punch a hole to the card.  Once I snipped the back of the brad I adhered to the card using hot glue.  

Now you know no card is fairly complete unless I add bling so to top this card I used Want2Scrap Maxxi Girl Pearl Swirl and one of their newest products which is the crown charm that you see at the top of the sleeve.

I hope you enjoyed this take on my baby girl onesie wearing a tutu!  Be sure to check out Buttons Galore & More and Want2Scrap!

Cards for Special Occasions

I was very inspired today to create several cards.  I actually made a total of three using different pattern papers.  They each have a unique style to them, but very elegant in their own way.

My first card is for a special MOM, and my mom is my little angel but it's something that she would have loved and enjoyed.  It's approximately 5 1/2  x 5 1/2" and I used Old Stack from DCWV and of course White Pearl Swirls from Want2Scrap and some wooden buttons.

I distressed the edges of the pattern paper and used a travel stamp to give more details to paper stack.

Now what mom wouldn't love this card!

The next card is using My Mind Eye's Pattern Paper, buttons, flowers, ribbon, and 

Want2Scrap 

Tricycle Chipboard  

Pearl Nestabling

My last card for the day is approximately 5 x 6" and it's incredibly very gorgeous.  I used a Vintage pattern paper RETIRED from CTMH.  I loved the colors and all the flowers and blings it really pulled this card very well together.

I hope you enjoyed my cards that I created for you today  and be sure to stop by again and PLEASE leave me a comment!
