Trunk or Treat Event

Happy Monday!!!

Today I want to share a fun idea with you.

We recently started going to a new Church

and decided to participate in their yearly event

called Trunk Or Treat, something we were

unfamiliar with. In case your unfamilar also its a

 safe alternative for kids to go recieve Halloween candy

 wearing their costumes. It was age 12 and under.

Church participants such as myself and my husband

sign up to decorate their vehicle trunks with fun not scarry things

and wear costumes then we all hand out candy plus they

 give out apple cider and popcorn, have hay rides and a fire.

It was a truly fun evening the kids seemed to really

 enjoy it as did the parents. We had 800 come to it

 with 40 vehicles decorated! So here is our trunk

and my Husband and myself. It was cool

out so I layered up alot !!!LOL

Don't you just love those black wigs?? LOL

 Sure kept us warm!!

This picture below was a trial run at my house.

Can you see the cards I made look closely

at the words on the left side of the Kings picture

it says " Jesus is King".

The dice are tissue boxes, still full of tissue

to weight them down in case of wind.

The spinner I made using an old frizbee, a Pam spray cap,

some cardstock and a flattened out bundt cake pan LOL

Below is a close up of the pajamas and

lounging pants I got at Goodwill!! Perfect for this

project! A side story about those pajamas, one

 lady at the event said to me, "I have those same jammies

 at home! oh wait no I don't I took them to Good will" LOL

They were hers!!! We laughed alot about that !! So tell me

coincidence or God inspired!!!

Thank you God!!!!

Well there you have it a fun adventure ! I pray you all have

some new, fun, adventures to try. We are so

 glad we participated in this event.

Hugs and sweet treats to you!!

Altered Frame

Hello and Happy Sunday to you!

I hope our enjoying your day, its awesome here in NE Ohio,

 sunnny and warm ahhhh feels fabulous.

Today I am sharing with you another treasure

 I got and redid. Here is the before picture.

This is the picture. I feel in love with the frame

BUT the red peppers HAD TO GO LOL!!!

           

Again I used Graphics 45 paper, thinking a teacher or

 someone who did home schooling might love to have

something like this. I hope it sells at the Craft show I am doing

in November. As you can see in the first picture I really

popped out the additions that are on the left of the

 picture but left the rest flat I felt it didn't really need alot.

 Sure hope I was right LOL.

Well time for me to get outside and enjoy that

 sun for a little before it starts getting too late LOL

Thanks for stopping by!!!!!

Challenge Between Friends

Hello My Stamping Friends!

Today is a fun day for my friend Darlene and I,

we are sharing with you an altered project we did.

To set the stage for this reveal let me back track a

couple of months ago when Darlene and I went treasuring

 hunting at a Goodwill store together. We spotted these

 matching wooden books that actually had clocks inside them.

So we decided to buy them and challenged each other

 to redo them secretly and see what we came up with.

So here is what we each came up with ,

you can get more info on hers by clicking here to go to her blog!!

First is the before pictures of the clock.

Front

opened

Darlene's wonderful Christmas project !

Isn't it awesome!!!!

 I just love the Graphics 45 paper she used, and

of course it had to be in purple her favorite color!

Way to go Darlene!



Here is the one I made, since I couldn't find a battery

 small enough I removed mine and made it

 a shadow box.

I used Crafty Secrets paper,Prima flowers, and some other

 flowers, lace,& buttons in my stash.The paint,needle and spool

are from Michaels.

So there you have it our "Friends Challenge",

hope you enjoyed it and that it inspired you to

 challenge a friend too!

Please take time to go see Darlene's blog she is very

 talented and will definitely inspire you!

Until next time big {{{ HUGS}}} to all, and

May God bless you!!!

ABC Primer Graphics 45

Hello and Happy Tuesday to You All!

I have not shared here yet about my newest

crafting addiction until now, I have gotten hooked on going

 garage sale hopping and to used stores in search of

 treasures to alter. Yeppers I am HOOKED, you should see my

craft room closet and cupboards LOL they are sooo full of

 stuff to alter. Hey at least I am all set for winter.

Or should I say several winters LOL.

 Well anyways here is one item I just finished.

I found this Rooster chalk board and the board was

all scratched up got it for little of nothing and totally redid it.

So tell me what you think.

 Here is the before picture.

Now on to the new version

As you can see I used the fabulous Graphics 45

 "An ABC Primer" paper, that I got from Joan's Garden.

 I just love their papers.

I cut out and popped up the books and the ABC

 sign and used a real pin in it. The pencil I got from Walmart

and cut it down and sanded it then added ink to color it lightly.

I bought the eraser at Hobby Lobby and added

Graphics paper there too. The other little distressed box is chalk

and I recovered the box to match. I also added

 little wooden knobs to the sides of the board for more interest.

So there you have it my refurbished treasure.

 I would love to hear what you think of it.

I plan on selling it at an up coming craft show.

 I have more to share so stayed tuned LOL.

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

Hugs

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!!!

Hugs

Lana
