Wedding Bells are Ringing

Hello Blogger Friends,
I just finished a wedding box for my daughters wedding this July and so I decided that today is
the day to share what I have been doing so far for this weddding. I have made centerpiece table
numbers for the reception as well as a special one for the head table and for the families tables as
well. I also made some lollipops in wedding colors and attatched them to flip flops for the attendants
to wear at the reception. I still have a fewmore flip flops to make and so I haven't taken pics of those.
Maybe I will when I finish the last ones, we'll see.
Okay so on to the wedding box. I bought the base box at HL and then began my altering. I found this awesome trim at HL in their upholstery dept. I love the shabby look of it and it also has glass prisms
that are hard to see in the pics. Then I used some love doves, prima flower, curly edged pink roses, and little
blue roses as well. I added a bead spray and some glittery netting ( websters pages) and an organza bow. I am really happy with the way this turned out. Hope you like it too.

Finally a few pics with the gkids dyeing their eggs

I bought a glitter egg kit and also added a little extra glitter I had. We dyed the eggs, glittered them and
later even added cute little bands around some of them with bunnies, chicks and crosses. All is all
this was an amazing day for me and the kids. Oh feel free to ohh and ahh about my cute grandkids too.

Easter Magnolia Banner

I kept wanting an Easter banner but none of my swap partners made me one so
I decdied to take it into my own hands and made this adorable Mgnolia Tilda banner.
I heat embossed  each white traingle with the same stamp but different MS pastels and then
coordinated my flowers and Tldas with the same colors. All of this was added to
a lengh of amazing white lace and edged with green and pink transparent ribbon.
Hope you like it as much as I do.

Happy Easter

I just thought I would share with my blog "friends" these little Easter
projects I have done both for myself and for friends in swaps. Also
a little Easter fun with the grandkids as well.

                                                   This first is a tag received from Kauia Melody at the CMB
                                                          in the Easter Swap, her talent amazes me!

Here are my altered paper Easter Bags, made for my grandchildren they aren't super
fancy but I think theyturned out cute. And they enjoyed all the goodies inside too!



This is an Easter Banner I made with the Cricut Easter cart for Kauia Melody

A simple little man card I made

I don't feel nearly as good at making "man cards" I mean where do you put the frills?
LOL I guess it causes me to  S T R E T C H myself a little. Recently I made this
simple little "man card" for a card for my brother's birthday. I used my ticket stamps
and a cute little digital image along with my copic markers. I liked the final effect.
I also made a paper bag envie for this which he got a real kick out of.
Hope you like it too.......

Just a little something on the inside with heat embossed message

Matching Mask and Altered Box swap

Hello friends,
Gosh has it really been over a month since I posted on here. Sorry!
I have been busy tho and I wanted to share this swap I just completed
on the CMB with you. I used G45 Romantique paper as well as several kinds
of gold paint.  I glued black ruffly ribbon all the way around it
then I added ribbon and feathers with stick pin and a handmade golden
rose to the box. Then I tied all kinds of matching laces and ribbons to the handle
as this was a suitcase type box and I love that effect.
The mask was similar but had some bling and imaroses mini
white roses as well. Sorry I don't have a better pic of the mask for you but
hopefully you can see it somewhat in this pic.
Thanks for stopping by.......

Magnolia Comp book

Hello Friends,
Now that we are past the holidays I thought it
was time for some pink fun. I entered a Magnolia
comp book swap at the CMB and here is my creation.
I have been kinda of hoarding this paper for awhile
and decided that this was the time to pull it out.
It is by Now and Then and I love it! I started with the
gorgeous vintage heart which I edged with TH glaze.
I used wide satin ribbon and wide vintage lace
on the binding. I also added some ribbons for bookmarks.
I love this little Tilda with the butterfly
tugging on her dress, so adorable! I used some prima flowers
and also some imaroses to embellish along with her initial
and a cute little pink glittery butterfly on the corner.
I hope you like it as much as I do.
Thanks for stopping by.
