Altered Comp book - Recipes

Hi everyone,
Today, I have another card for the Greeting Farm Challenge blog. The challenge is to use office supplies. I used this composition book to make a recipe book. I love altering these comp books. I buy them during back to school when they are super cheap and then use them all year long.

I also used tabs from one of my planner kits, The planner society.

Thanks so much for visiting today.

Wood tags

Hi everyone,
Today, I am sharing some tags that I made for a swap. I used some sa crafters wood tags for this project.

I love how they came out. I used various paper pads that  I had sitting out on my desk, I used my Cricut and this cute Anya image. My swap partner I think liked them too!

Adore

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing a project that I made for the Sa Crafters July challenge. Sa is not doing challenges any more this was the last one. The challenge was to use a certain bike from her store. If you haven't visited Sa's store you should (I am not affiliated in any way), she has tons of wood and chipboard embellishments and albums, frames, stencils and more. I have a ton of her products and just need more hours in the day to work on them!

The sentiments and the windows are also from Sa's store. I painted it yellow with Martha Stewart pain that I had in my stash and all of the flowers were from my stash as well. The picture is a favorite from the 4th of July. My Tyler with my sister and her sweet baby.

Botanical Tea Gift Boxes

Hi everyone,
I have some pics of the gifts that I gave for Mother's Day to my mom and sister. I wanted to do a video but I just didn't have time. Anyhow, I saw on the Graphic 45 blog a project where they altered the mini book boxes. I thought that they would make awesome gift boxes.

This is the box that I made for my mom. Both boxes were made using chipboard and Botanical Tea paper. I got her a necklace with all of the names of her grandchildren.

This is the box that I made for my sister. I made an insert and gave her a giftcard. I lined the inside of the boxes with velvet paper so they could use the boxes after they take the gift part out for jewelry or trinkets or money or whatever.

I think they came out great! Thanks for visiting today.

Late Easter Gift

Hi, I just wanted to show you all this simple gift that can be adapted to any occasion. It's just a office binder clip. I decorated the front with this egg and chick from A Good Egg stamp set from SU and colored in with my copics. I cut my egg out and mounted it on a thin piece of cardboard from a cereal box for some extra weight and covered the back with dp. I then adhered it to my binder clip and created this fun photo holder! Very easy and cheap!!

Easy Coaster Book

I made this coaster book for my mom. It includes some pics of my Lily and Tyler. The papers are from SU and the stamps are JustRite. It was really easy to do. I just covered my coasters with the paper and mounted my pictures. To attach the coasters together I used hinges from CTMH. Quick post today, talk to you all soon.

Altered Picture Frame

This is probably one of my favorite projects of the year because it has a picture of two of my favorite people, Tyler and my Dad. This picture was taken at a dinner we had for my Grandmother's 80th birthday. I altered a $1 wooden frame that I got from Michaels. The paper is SU and the ribbon was also from Michaels. I used my Justrite Stamper for the "Ty & Dad". The inside part of the frame where the picture went looked very bare so I ran my ribbon along that edge and it ended up looking really nice. Ty gave this to my mom for her birthday and my parents have it displayed in their front room. Such an easy project, the main thing I think, is to have a really great picture!

Altered Recipe Box

Here is a recipe box that I altered fort the JustRite stampers contest last month. The paper is from K&Co. I also used stickers from the same line. The cardstock and ribbon is CTMH. The stamps are from JustRite.


I included a bundle of recipe cards and on one I put my recipe for these yummy chicken crescent rolls. The rest of the recipe is on the back of the card. It was a lot of fun using these stamps and I ended up buying almost the whole line. There are so many ways they can be used, especially for personalization.

Altered Letters for Lily

First, I want to apologize for the terrible pictures. These altered letters did not fit in my little photo cube so I put them on my windowsill but I just couldn't get very good light. Anyway, I bought these wood letters from Michaels. I couldn't find my modge podge but I had some crystal laminate that I used instead. Basically, I traced the letters on this gorgeous K&Co. Berry paper and then cut it out. Once it dried, I then decorated with some of the coordinating stickers. In real life, these letters are so cute! I have some letters for Tyler for over a year but I haven't done his yet. I guess I should...it's just this paper was so cute, I couldn't help but do Lily's first.

Easy Luggage Tag & Sketch Challenge Card

This is a card that I made for a sketch challenge at 2sketches4you.blogspot.com. I absolutelt love how it came out. The paper is Bo-bunny and the stamp is fron Inkadinkadoo. The punch on the edge is Martha Stewart and the ribbon is Target dollar spot. I used my copics for the cupcake and paper pieced the cupcake liner. The cardstock is CTMH chocolate and baby pink.

I made this luggage tag in May. My sister was getting ready to go to New York to see Little Mermaid on Broadway and hang out with our girlfriends. I, of course couldn't go being 9 months pregnant and all. So I made her this cute luggage tag.

The luggage tag is BE (Bare Elements) and the paper is Summer Picnic from SU. All I did was print out her address and cut and attach the dp to the tag and voila, super fun luggage tag that will hopefully help her find her luggage quickly.

Happy Fourth of July everyone!

Altered Mailbox

I got on the mailbox bandwagon and bought a couple of these mailboxes at the Target Dollar Spot. I covered this one with scraps of paper I had laying around my craft desk.

I think it came out really cute. I used the All My Love stamp set from CTMH, CTMH ginham ribbon and a pink prima paper flower with a red CTMH sparkle for some bling! Now, I just need to fill it with some goodies and give it to someone special. Pin It Now!

Paperbag Album

Here is the paperbag album that I made for my mom for Christmas. All of the paper came from the DCWV Fall stack. The lettering is from my Cricut and the felt leaves are from the Target Dollar Spot.

I included some inside pages and one of the pockets. I used various embellishments that I had from my stash and I used my favorite punch - SU's tab punch.

I think it came out very cute and my mom loved it!

Michael's $1 Bin Projects

Did you all get a lot of trick or treaters? I was surprised by how few we got at our house. My sister had a couple hundred in her neighborhood, I had about 30 and we live in the same city. Go figure...

Has anyone seen these at Michaels? They're in the $1.00 bin. I couldn't help but buy a bunch of them because I love Mary Engelbreit and because how cute are they? I thought that I could make X-Mas tags and little enclosure cards with them.

Here is my completed project. I made two different kinds of tags and then a small enclosure card that I can put in a 3x3 envelope and include with my gift. The tags would tie onto a present's bow. I think silver or gold cording would be better than ribbon because it's skinnier and would match all the wrapping paper, etc. But I didn't have any just yet so I put ribbon on them just for the picture. The to/from was used with my Karen Foster snap stamps.

Here I made a little ornament using one of these small round tins. The background paper is I think Basic Grey, I got it in blog candy this week. I used one of my cute stickers from the $1 bin and I used cardstock to pop it up. I used my Crop-a-dile to punch holes, it was like butter. I found that my ribbon was a little off-center though so I think next time I will punch my holes for my ribbon first and then decorate my tin so I can center it better.

Don't forget to stop by tomorrow for Friday's Heart Candy!
