Lost and Found

Can you guess what I plan on creating?

If you guessed a mini album, you guessed right.
Its been awhile since i created a mini album and i am having withdrawls. These are a few goodies I plan on using on the album. I 'll gladly share with you each step of how i create my album. So lets get started...

My shabby chic frames

I had these unfinished wood frames I purchased at Michael's and was not sure how I would decorate them. I wanted to give them as gifts to my mother in law Lori. She loves framing photographs. I covered the first frame with a shabby chic paper and used some glimmer mist to give it a little glimmer. Also glued on some cherry blossom flowers by Recollections.

The second frame i decided to give a little distressed look. I painted it white all over then I used my heat gun to give it a slight peeled paint look then i distressed the edges with walnut stain. On the right corner I attached a purple Petaloo flower with some pink tulle and a clear spray.

A few cards




These are just a few cards I have created in the last few days. It started because i needed to make a special card for my husband. Once I finished with the Birthday Card I made a three more.

Vintage inspired jewelry box

I have finally finished my altered project I am quite pleased with the way it turned out. I wanted something where I could display my favorite vintage findings.This box was from Michael's in the unfinished wood section. I first painted the entire box Ballet Pink by Folk Art then I painted over the pink with Robin's Egg Blue with some of the pink still peeking through. Inside i covered each section with The Thirft Shop by October Afternoon. On the edges I distressed with Walnut Stain by Tim Holtz. Finally, for the drawer I used a red velvet fabric to cover the inside just to give it a vintage feel.
