Altered project

For my NSSS group, a few of us are doing an elfster swap. We are supposed to alter an item and send a few goodies to our partner. I saw this great tutorial at Crop Stop on using metal in the cuttlebug, so I got some and gave it a try. I used my new Tim Holtz embossing folders to emboss the metal, distressed the colored side with a sanding block and used terrifficly tacky tape to adhere the metal sheets to the can. I added a few brads to bling it up a bit and wrapped some SU twine around the top and bottom. I think this would be great for pens/pencils/

markers/scissors....Hope my partner likes it. I had fun making it.

Happy Halloween

Papercraft Star is having a photo inspiration challenge this week, based on a Martha Stewart Halloween decor spread. The polka dots in the table cloth reminded me of the swiss cheese border punch I possess.....

....so I pulled it out, along with some Halloween papers, stamps, ribbon and ink. This is what evolved....

Memories

This is another LO I did for my SDU class. It is an example of a complimentary color scheme. I have done a few LO's with this photo (I love this picture)!

Memories

I got a new camera for Mother's Day and it has a great digital zoom on it. I have had the best time getting close ups of the hummingbirds that feed at the feeder hanging from the deck.

Bearylish on the Cricut MB designed a great sketch and this is my version of the sketch. I have also used it for my SDU class, since it is such a great design!

Sweet Dreams

Did this monochromatic LO for my SDU class using some really old pictures of DD! Also trying to highlight handwriting titles (something I don't do much of since I go my cricut).

A Top Mt. Mama

The mountains are covered with glitter to emulate snow! I used the newish 3M Craft Paper, cut out my shape, pulled off the adhesive backing and sprinkled the fine & coarse glitter on the adhesive and smooshed it down. Did this LO as an example for my SDU class-I have been giving students a sketch each week and I also scrap the sketch.

My Friend and Pretty Peas

I was playing around with Just Because Cards cartridge and the MS loopy punch and came up with this card. I used the Viva Decor pearl pen for the dots on the label. And my trusted white pen for the stitching lines.

I can't remember what cart I used for this card!!! I used a MS flower punch to punch a variety of flowers so I could layer them on the card. And I added silver and yellow Viva Decor pearl pen dots for accents.
