Craft Warehouse Assignment #5-Part 1

I am so excited about the current assignment with craft warehouse. There are four parts to this assignment. Create a mini book, create two one page spreads one being 3D and use a chalkboard sticker on something in your home. Today I spent many many hours creating my mini book.

These lines didn't have any dimensional elements in them so I took a tip from my friend Diana to add height by using multiple layers of paper. Then I did it over and over and over again. I did this on the button embellishments on the front and glued several pages in the book itself together to make a chipboard look.

The finished product was so cute. I am tempted not to give it away!

I had lots of fun at our family crop this Saturday. Completed a few pages.

2.14.2011 Craft Warehouse Assignment #4

This month's assignment was to use the Flora and Fauna K & Co. collection and the Tim Holtz Configurations Box. I thought of my grandparents as soon as I saw this paper line. I loved it and added a wedding photo of my grandparents to the project. I used wood beads as the feet and spray painted the boxes with chalkboard paint.

12.16.2010 Teacher Gifts

I had to make eight teacher gifts this year. Not because I have eight kids but work at a school. I found these letters on sale at Craft Warehouse and thought they were really cute. I then painted them with Chalkboard paint and tied a piece of chalk to each one.



I also made each teacher a card. The card is made with Echo Park and My Minds Eye papers. The embossed Christmas wording is from Tim Holtz.

So I can't decide. Candle inside or photos of grandchildren. hmmm... What do you think?




Either way I will hang cute little butterflies from the inside of the dome.

11.20.2010 Craft Warehouse Assignment #3

About two weeks ago I submitted my Design Team Assignments for project #3. This month we worked with Echo Park's "Everybody Loves Christmas" and Basic Grey Lines "Wander" and "Pyrus." It was so much fun. I wish I would have had more time to take some great photos of the projects. This project was a quick one due within three weeks and it was really hard to get into the Christmas swing of things. :)

11.19.2010 Mother in Law Gift: Day One

OK...The project is started. I started last night glimmer misting Eight 6x6 BasicGrey papers.



This morning I punched over 50 retro flowers from the Glimmer Misted paper. I used four flowers to make each rose. I glued each layer together and then put a pearl in the middle of each one and curled each petal. Then I finger painted stickles on the top of each flower.





Now it is back to thinking time. I would like to cover the bottom of the lantern with the flowers and somehow get a picture of her Grand kids in there but I need some height . I thought about using one of those battery powered candles to put in the middle but would have to hot glue the flowers on the bottom so she can move the candle in and out to turn it on and off. What do you think?

11.13.2010 Josh & Mr Yeow Board Book

Every time my son looked at these pictures a huge smile came across his face so I decided he needed his own book. This book was made with the new My Minds Eye papers True Blue, chipboard, 7 Gypsies Cable Rings and a ton of ModPodge. Since Josh would be playing with it I wanted to make sure things were securely glued down and simple.











Sorry for the blurry photos. My battery was going dead but I wanted to get photos posted before Josh started playing with it. :)
