May Circle Challenge Imaginisce

I sprayed the torso with Green Maya Mist to give it a patined look.  I cut a small hole in the bottom and glued a wooden birdhouse stand to the bottom for height.  I used Go Scooter Go and Mushroom Fancy Imaginisce paper for the 48 little roses.  LOVED the colors.  I used a flower from Forever Young, which coincidentally was the cart that served as my inspiration for this project.

I then used the crown from Birthday Cakes, welded it to a rectangle from George and made 48 tiles for the skirt.  I ran the base trough my sticker maker, put the top on it and dipped each tile in chunky glitter to as sparkle! (As if it needed more! LOL!)

Finally, I cut a rectangle from George with a little scalloped border welded to both of the long sides.  I used a stamp from, who else but Imaginisce, and stamped in white pigment ink.  When they dried, I put little orangy rhinestones in the center of the on the stamped images.

Oh yeah and guess who made the gorgeous rhinestones I used?  You got it, Imaginisce!!  Aren't they awesome?  LOVE them!!

Here are a couple more pics!  Thanks for looking!!

Monthly blog challenge

Hello!

Here is my entry for the monthly Circle Blog challenge.  They are giving away 5 Cricut E 2's.  Whoo hoo!!

I welded the daisies together with a swirl from Picturesque (my go to cart for everything!)  TThoseflowers are so lacy!! I love themI made a ruffle from a strip of paper, embossed a circle cut from George and cut the monogram from Tie the Knot. It's for  back of the programs for my niece's wedding.  It started as a project for the blog and my sister fell in love with it. Too funny!! One down and 64 more to go!

Fun little pendant

Yesterday, I was all by myself for lunch and a dear sweet friend had given me some coupons for Joann’s so guess where I went? Michaels, Silly!  Just kidding.  I went to Joann’s and I found the most awesome pendant supplies.  I went home last night and whipped this out for a friend of mine, whose birthday is next week.  Now I need to make one for both sisters too, and, well a whole bunch more too!  It was quick and easy and I had so much fun.

February 2011 Circle Challenge

Tuesday is my little girl's Seventh birthday!  Wow does time fly!

Well, I sent the family to the mountains to play in the snow and I set to work on this banner to celebrate her special day.  It's her name with a cupcake at each end.  The banner came from Tie The Knot and the little crowns and cupcakes came from Once Apon A Princess.

Here are a couple close up pictures too.

Behind each crown and cupcake is a rosette of ribbon.  They are so easy and quick to make.  I took an 8 inch strip of wired ribbon.  I removed the wire from one side of the ribbon and took both ends of the other side and pulled them out to gather the ribbon in the middle of the strip of wire. Then I twisted the two sides together to form a loop.  I glued the tips of ribbon that come together and I am done!

Aly loved the banner and she can't wait to hang it her newly decorated bedroom!

Happy Birthday, Aly girl!!

January 2011 Magazine challenge

Hello and Happy New Year!! Wow, we a third of the way through January already!! I can't believe it!

Well, My friends all got together and went to a crop today, but I had to stay home while my sweet hubby went and played mechanic on my daughter's car!  I didn't let that stop me though! I called my faithful scrappin' sidekick, Bethany over and we had an amazing time.

This is Bethers or Bethamy as my little little girl calls her!!!
I decided to work on the Circle magazine challenge today, so on the way home we stopped at the most awesome little thrift store near my house.  They had some really great finds in there, but Beth found this really cool box and we just knew it was made for this project. I have no idea what is supposed to be for, but it is really neat.  It looks like it holds pens or paint brushes or something.

Well, I had some beautiful sheets of wood veneer I had been saving for some thing.  I just didn't know what until... today!! I cut the two little fairies from A Child's Year! The Cloud with Dream is from Home Accents and, because I used my ever trusty Gypsy, I was able to put them in 6 inch x 5 inch rectangles from George so I didn't have to worry about centering them. Worked like a charm!  Love that Gypsy!

  
Finally I added paper to the sides, pearls as accents and the flowers on the top!

Voila!! I can't believe how good it turned out!  I wish you could see it in person! I keep looking at it and I still can't believe it!  I am soooo happy!

What did the litle one do while we were playing, you ask?  She played too!

Wow! She blows my usual projects away! I love that little girl so much!

Well, until next time!

Jodie!
