Happy Mother's Day

Here is the Mother's Day card that I made for my mom. She loved it when I gave it to her. :) I used to Tim Holtz Sizzix die for the bird and bird cage, and K&Co Life's Journey paper. I put tulle in the background and painted and distressed it. I think it turned out really cute. Hope you enjoy :)

Altered Book

Hey everyone! So this is what I've been up to lately. I altered a book that I bought at goodwill. I was inspired by Marion Smith on her live show a while ago. She had altered a book like this one. I tore all of the pages out from the cover. Then I just went to town painting on the cover. After that was done I cut pages of patterned paper to fit inside. I sewed them together and then glued them to the cover. Then I just embellished the front of the book. :) I think it turned out really cute and I can't wait to start putting pictures in it.

Cards

Sorry its been so long since I last posted anything. I've been so busy lately. These are a few I made a week or two ago and I finally took pictures of them. I have a lot of things in mind that I plan on working on when I find the time to. But anyways here are two cards that I made with Greeting Farm images. I think they turned out really pretty and I'm happy with them.

On this card I used cuddle Anya and I colored her with my Prismacolor colored pencils. I don't remember the name of the paper but it is by K&Co. On top of the layered paper I added a layer of glitter tulle. I used pink ribbon, rhinestones, handmade flowers and Prima flowers. I stamped on white shrink film and then cut it out and glued it on. I love this card, I am happy with the way it turned out. 

I used geisha Anya on this card and colored her with my prismacolor colored pencils also. I twisted strips of paper to make a vine. Then I added small flowers on the vine. I used glimmer mist and flat back pearls on the flowers. I stamped "just saying hi" on white cardstock and punched it out with a square scallop punch. Then I inked it with a like tan and a green ink. I love the way this card turned out. I think it's my favorite :) Anyways I hope you like them, thanks for stopping by.

Phone Covers

My cousin loved my iPod cover that I made, and she asked me to make her one. We went shopping and picked everything out. She decided on a blue and green one and a purple. I made the blue and green one for her iPod and the purple one for her phone. I love how they both turned out, but the blue and green one is my favorite. :)

Flower Centers

I have been making these cute little flower centers the past few days. I have a bunch of sequins and seed beads laying around. I decided to do something with them, and this is what I came up with. I was inspired by the Prima flower centers. I cut out a one inch circle from felt, then I strung flower rhinestones, sequins and beads onto them. (For the circle rhinestones, I just used hot glue to glue them on the felt.) I think they turned out really cute and I can't wait to make flowers to put them on. Hope you enjoy.

Gizmo

My mom and I aren't the only ones who like to craft. My mom's dog Gizmo loves to get paper out of the garbage in the craft room. He takes it under the table and tears it to pieces, leaving us a big mess to clean up. Haha at least it keeps him busy.
