Thickers!!!!

Hey guys! So sorry I have been gone for a long time. A lot has happened since I last posted, I married the love of my life, Alex in November of 2011, and we are so happy. I am now a dance teacher, and I love every minute of it. I plan on posting a lot more. Hopefully a few times a week. But anyways lets move on to why we are all here. I was at Target yesterday and there is a Marshall's right beside it. I thought I would stop in to see if they had more thickers in yet. All of Marshall's thickers are $1.49!! (I had been checking for weeks!) I was in luck!! They had stocked up. They didn't have a lot but I did clean them out!! The guy at the check out lane said they had just put them out! So glad I stopped in. I ended up going home with 14 packs. 

Beaded Key Chains

Hey guys, I just wanted to show you some key chains that I have been working on. I love all of these key chains, the blue one is my favorite. I made the charms out of beads, and I also used some other charms that I bought at Hobby Lobby. I used jump rings to attach them to the chain, and put two charms for every chain link (some I put more than two). All of the beads I used were glass. These key chains from my experience won't break. Occasionally one or two charms will fall off if you are being too rough with them. But if you think about it that goes for most things. Here are some pictures of them, I hope you enjoy!

Tiny Bird's Nest

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share these cute little bird's nests with you. I created them by threading beads onto the wire and then twisting the wire to look like a little nest. I attached chain and a keyring to the nest and I added a few charms to them also. Aren't they just adorable?

Have a great weekend!!

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. :)
