This is what I was working on while waiting for my new computer. Now that I've gotten it I've been learning the new programs :)

It's a wooden box from Michaels that I covered with paper and then on the top added foam and cover with material to make a pin cushion. I made the stick pin and the little crochet flower (I'm still learning crochet). Love it ;)

Well I have returned :) I'm hoping to get back to posting now that I have a new computer :) My old computer died a couple of weeks ago and my oldest daughter brought me a Mac that she didn't need. So I'm learning my way around it.

I have entered a couple swaps at My Scrapbook Room and have enjoyed those:) Will try to post pics of the various projects I have been working on :)

Thanks for stopping by :)

Shabby Chic Pink Heart Box

I had made this for a youtube challenge realizing too late that I had missed the deadline by a day :) So I'll save it for future use :)

I painted a paper mache heart shaped box a shabby pink and then decorated with pink laces, eyelet and beads.

My meanderings today have me working with Paper Crafts and making a Mini Album :)

This Mini Album measures 3.5 x 4 and I'm really liking it :) It's my first time making one :)

The rose on the the left I made :) I'm trying to only use items I have or can make from what I have and not buy anything else :)

When you open the left side it has a place for a picture and then room to journal. On the right the little card is removed from the pocket ;)

Also the right side is a flap and behind that is a Vintage Letter K copy. The little rose in the lower right hand corner I made and is smaller then a pencil top eraser :) Love it :) The tag comes out from the middle :)

Left side is the back of the card :)

The back opened and there's a place for a picture :)

I printed off some vintage pics of the letter K and made them into decorative cards. I am wanting to send this to Kristina who is Hostessing a Giveaway on Youtube :) It's my first mini and first challenge I hope she likes it :)

Good Morning :)

One of my favorite things is old vintage pictures where the color was added to the actual photo afterwards. I just love how they look the texture and feel. I don't have color in my printer but my favorite printer is a laser jet that only prints black. I've been wanting to print pics of my gran-baby and decided what better for my Vintage Shabby Chic room then a picture made too look old style :)

This is just printed on card stock, next time I'll use a textured one, and then I shaded/colored in with chalk pastels. I love it and now I just need a frame :)

Twigs & Rosettes

Here's the project from the other days Sneak Peek ;)

This is in my Vintage Shabby Chic room and I'm loving it ;) I may add more rosettes another day :)

Rosettes Wreaths & Sneak Peek

The last couple of days I have made several shabby chic wreaths and I'm loving them all not sure where they will go though :) But I've run out of wreaths so will be moving on to another project today :)
