Circus Wagon

Happy Friday Evening Everyone!!

Hope you all are enjoying your evening.

I am starting to feel better finally but not

top par yet. These sinus,lung problems really hang

on with me for some reason.

Tonight I want to share with you a cute project I made to go

with this frame I did in this posting a while back.

Here is the before picture of the wagon.

Here is the after picture.

 

Did you notice the wheels have an elephant riding a tricycle.

                                                             inside view from the top

I saw a wagon on-line like this some where but can

not remember where sorry.
(Just found her name, it's Sandy Diller)

I used all Graphics 45 paper from their Circus paper set.

The wagon and tiger cub I got at Michaels, the flourish

die cut is Tim Holtz. I prepainted everything before

adhereing the paper. It took alot of time but it sure was fun.

I hope to sell this as a set at the craft sale in November.

Well that is it for tonight hope this inspired you in some way.

Stay healthy

Altered Tin "Set"

Happy Thursday Everyone!!

Burr its cool and crisp here in NE Ohio, what a change this is.

You can sure tell Fall is coming very soon!

This evening I want to refresh your memory on a project

 I did a while back because I just made a tissue
 box and matching frame to go with it,

 here is the link to the tin if you want more specific

 information, no sense in me rewriting it all LOL.

Here is a picture of the Tin I did and below it is what I have been

adding to it to make a set that I hope to sell at an up coming

craft show.

 So there is the projects I have been working on lately,

a tissue box, round tin, and an oval wooden frame wall hanging.

I just love all the flowers and how the DP looks like

fabric in real life.

I am entering the tissue box and frame wall art in the
Crafty Ribbons Challenge- Anything goes

I would love to hear how much you think I should charge

 for the indiviual items and also priced as a set. I have the hardest

time priceing my items. Thanks for any help you can give me on that!

Well I am sick with a bad sinus infection so I am going to go for now.

Hugs to all of you!

Stay well

Christmas Ornament

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

Today I am sharing with you a Christmas Ornament I made.

 

I made this using an extra large bottle cap from Archiver's,

that I ran through my Big Shot machine to flatten it.

The image is a Stampin Up one. I glued dew drop beads

 to the edge using crystal effects. I also put Stickles

on the edge. I colored the image with my Copics. The wine

 glass charm is covered with beads and pearls I had in my stash.

 Then I tied an organdy bow on it and used

 some stickles to fancy it up some. I also used some

 dimensionals to pop the image out. It was so hard trying to

 get the shimmer and colors to show up in the pictures

 but you all know how hard it is to photograph things

 as they really look or wait maybe

 its just me that has trouble with it LOL LOL.

Until next time Happy Stampin!!!

Wooden Frames

Good morning everyone!!!

This morning I would like to show you three

 frames that were made using unfinished oval wooden

 frames from Michaels. I made one of these frames can you

 guess which one LOL. My new friends Wendy and Judy who

are fairly new to stamping wanted to learn how to do them,

 so we had a class of sorts. I think they all came out

really good what do you think?

The above one is mine, did you guess right LOL.

This one was made by Judy, she loves the ocean and

had some shells she had collected that she wanted to use.

This one Wendy made to match her newly

decorated bedroom.

Here is a list of items used in all of them

Stamps- Our Daily Bread Designs & Heartfelt creations

Various scrapbook papers

TH die and Distress inks

Cheery Lynn dies

EP

Shells and shell buttons

Flowers mini roses Michaels

Brads unknown

Wood oval frames Michaels

Well there you have it. I think these ladies did a fabulous

 job on their first project what do you think? They are just the

sweetest ladies and I am so blessed to have met them. They

are both so eagar to learn all about stamping its fun

to watch their excitement.

I pray you have a wonderful weekend !!

Frame Pincushion & Writing Tablet

Hi Everyone!!

 I pray your staying cool, it has been so hot

and humid here in NE Ohio, but at least there

 is no snow, that will be soon enough LOL

Today I want to share with you a fun project I

 learned from the fabulous Becca Feeken,

for her instruction video click here

This is my take on it.

I sure hope you try this project out, it's fun and a great

way to hold and display your embellished stick pins,

which I just realized I didn't photograph in mine LOL !!

So please pretend they are beautifully

displayed in mine LOL LOL.

 Oh it's been a very long day LOL

I used fabric & trim I had in my stash forever LOL.

The frames are from Micheal's bridal area

they come two in a pack. The flowers are Prima's.

I ended up putting mine together a little differently then

 Becca did but the results are about the same.

Now I also want to share a cool writing tablet

my friend Darlene (click on her name to go to her blog)
showed me how to make

and this is how mine turned out.

Thank you Darlene!!

The tablet is from Staples. I used my scalloped nesties ,

CS and punch from SU.The embellishments were

from my stash. The flourish die is a Cheery Lynn

die I got from Joan's Garden. The silhouette

sticker is from Archiver's.

Well that is all for today, hope you enjoyed these

 so now get busy and create something!!!

                                               So until next time {{{Big Hugs}}} to all

Graphics Steampunk Canvas

Good evening friends!

Tonight I am showing you my try at a different style

called Steampunk, by Graphic 45. It truly is out of my comfort

 zone and I have decided its not my thing, but it was interesting to do.

As usual it didn't photograph very well but enough you can tell

 most of it, but it doesn't show the layering and dimensionality

of it all, or the sparkle of the spica pen I used. Oh well LOL

Well there you have it. Here is the list of what I used:

A blank Canvas covered with Tim Holtz paper and Graphic 45 paper.

Crystal effects was used on most of the clocks on the paper

after some were cut and layered back on.

Spica pens were used over top of alot of the design.

Sharpie marker was also used to bring out more depth

 in certain areas. Dimensionals and grunge board were also.

 As you can see upholstery tacks were again used on this project.

 Material piping and black pearls were added.

Well that is my take on Steampunk.

Hope your all staying cool, it is very very hot

 and humid here in NE Ohio, ugh.

Hugs

Graphics 45 Wall Canvas

Happy  Wedsnesday  !!!

Today I have a really fun project to share with you!

This is a wall canvas I made using the Graphics 45 paper,

"Once Upon a Springtime",

that I got from Joan's garden.

 I just love this paper!!

Notice how the teacup actually sits on a ledge in my photo tent

but is part of the canvas, so it does stick out from the canvas.

I actually cut down the inner part of the teacup die

pattern so it doesn't stick out too far.

Here is a list of what I used

Graphics 45 paper

SU CS and Grunge board

Tim Holtz Distress inks & Crackle paint

Gold Pilot marker

Tea Cup Die

Stickles

Dimensionals

Muslin

Tim Holtz Embossing folder

( for the technique I used on the leaves go here)

decorative nails / upholstery tacks

Most of these items can be gotten at Joan's Garden

 Here are some pictures of how I made the flower in the teacup

All I did was fan fold in between each petal

area of the doily then add some Aileens Tacky Glue

 to each center and then pinch and pinch until the bottom

 looks like sample number 3  then snip the end a bit 

then add that one to the next one and do the same as

 the first layer and keep repeating this step until you have

 all the layers you want. I used 3 layers for mine. I also put

 some distress ink on it as you can see in the finished picture.

Lots of time went into making this project but it

was so worth it. I would love to know what you think

of it. If you have any questions feel free to email me.

I will have another post in a little while.

As you can see I have been a busy bee.

Until later hugs

Lana
