Scrap Yourself


I just did my first layout for Scrap Yourself blog. I was working on it last night and it was so fun to have a challenge to scrap about. We are doing "scrap yourself for A-Z. I was assigned the letter "P" and this is what I came up with.
Its really cool to be apart of a scrapping design team I am inspired by all of them.

Shabby Picture Window




My sister in law asked me to Tia-ize this old window she got. I gladly accepted. She said she wanted to put some pictures in it of her beautiful family and so I found out the colors she wanted and went from there.









I gave it a bit of an older look by crackling it.













Added some flowers of course and some felt swirls.












"V" for Valentine.









This is my favorite part. I added a red key hole and hung an old metal key next to it. So super cute.

In the end I think she really liked it, now I will have to get some picture of it with her family pictures in it.

Craft Club project

I'm in a craft club and the members rotate host projects. So I've got Febuary and I picked this to be our project of the month. I found these frames at Ikea, they come in a pack of 5 and are acrylic, and then I dolled them up. I used two for my oldest girls room and the other three frames I put in an old window frame. The glass broke out of it a while ago and of course I wasn't just going to throw it away I knew I could come up with something...

I love Valentine's day!!!

Stay tuned for a super cute Valentine's day blog giveaway!!!!

For a friend

My friends and I have a secret santa exchange and I made this for my friend. Let you know it was very hard to decide what to make her because she is very crafty herself and I really needed to step up my game. I don't know if she really likes it or not, I'm afraid to look around her house to see if it is up, but I totally understand if its not...its so hard to make things for her.

So I started off with a framed board that I found at Ben Franklin and then I painted it black and then covered the inside with paper and then I cut out random size squares and rectangles, destressed the edges. I added a strip or red velvet the I added the squares and rectangles to my liking and then some swirly felt. I tucked some swirls behind the squares too.

Then I Cricuted the letters and inked the edges in red and placed them on top, I used pop dots for dimension. I added wood scrolls to both top corners and viola!

Just some crafting...

This was done a Craft Club project taught by my friend Julie. It's made with mailing tubes, how clever!!


I made this from a very old cabinet door, the glass broke out of it and I didn't know what to do with it so I did this. You can add pictures in the frames, which I still need to do and then find some where to put it.

Just some cute Valentine's Day things...the mailbox I found a target in the dollar section and covered it with flowers, I though about using paper but i wanted to do something different. And the notebook and red frame is from Micheal's in the dollar section of course!!

Sealed With A Kiss

Pucker up baby!!! Just a layout I did to show off my cute girls!!


Valentine's Day banner

I made this cute Valentine's Day banner!!! I love Valentine's day...well I kind of have to, with the last name of Valentine!







Christmas present initials

Here are a few Initials I made for my friends' nieces and nephew. She just send me a photo of their room and I did the rest...cute huh?








Christmas presents

Okay I know these are being posted a little late, but love the way they turned out. I was asked by my friend to make a few Christmas present for some of her family members and I was so excited to do them. I made a sign for her daughter's room, Sienna, and a photo barn star for a present for someone in her family. What do you think??
