Handmade Jean Purse

Hello Everyone! 

I was going through a few old boxes earlier today and found a purse I made a few years ago in high school and I thought I would show it to you guys! I'm not great at sewing ( So be Kind) and keep in mind I did this by hand because I've never owned a sewing machine. Anyways I was pretty proud of my little purse and the fact that I recycled an old pair of jeans to make it so I decide I'm gonna use it to inspire me in my paper crafts as well, so who knows what I'll come up with! 

This is the front of the purse

Challenge Inspired Card

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Just a Card I made for a friend and to enter into a the TGF challenge (www.farmfreshchallengeblog.blogspot.com), and also Shopping our Stash #32  Challenge which was to use ribbon, twine or ric rac on our project. I really love all the colors in this card and how it all turned out. I custom made the background using some Glimmer mist , magical mica's and a aqua pen and some let over tissues paper from Christmas. The image itself is colored with copic sketch markers and has been distressed with some tim holtz ink pads. The flower center in the photo is a mulberry rose from wild Orchid crafts ( luv there flowers). The letters in sentiment were stamped from Lawn fawn set (Smitty's Abc's) and I think they look darn cute! lol  Hope you guys like it !! Leave me a comment

Mixed Media Art Journal

Hey Everyone! 

I can't believe Christmas is only a few days away! This month has just flown by. When I was a Child it felt like it took an eternity for Christmas to finally get here and now I blink and Christmas is upon us. I wanted to share with ya'll another one of the pages I'm working on in my art journal! I'm still thinking of adding a few more things to this page but I haven't decided what that is yet. (It's a work in Progress) I hope you guys like the page and that your all having a happy holiday! 

I used acrylic paints and glimmer mist

I also used Copic and Zig markers

Any questions Just leave a comment below! If you guys are interested in seeing a video of me working on my art journal let me know...Thanks for stopping By and Don't forget to please follow my blog.

(Best Glue for this type of thing is PPA ) I find it gives a very good finish and your pages won't stick together.

Diy Christmas Ornament

Hello!  Crafty Friends

I made a Christmas Ornament earlier during the week and I wanted to share it with ya'll! I actually made this for my fur baby (daisy) hehe.. My dog daisy is part of my family so I wanted to make her something cute to hang on the tree! In this picture she was at the beach with us and she looks so stink'in cute in this photo that I just love to look at it. Daisy really loves the water ( when she was a puppy she use to dive into anyone's pool who didn't have some sort of railing). Hope you guys are finding sometime to craft during this busy holiday season! 

Added Some foe stitches with my signo Uni-Ball

Isn't she a cutie!

                                                              Detailed Instructions

I started with a plain wood Ornament from a hobby store and I painted it with two different tones of brown. 

Distressed the edges with Vintage photo/Walnut ink distress ink.

I used my signo uni-ball pen in (white) to create foe stitches and I then went on to use some white acrylic paint for the icing.

For the Bow I used red liquid pearl which I let dry ( but before it was fully dry I added some glitter) and I sealed the bow with dimensional glaze.

Eyes (just some bobble eyes) for a fun look.

Mixed Media Mini

Hey, Crafty Friends

I had all these plans of things I wanted to do this week, but I've been super busy! It was my Bf birthday this week and I also find my self feeling very sick (I hate being sick ughh). I'm also working on a mini art journal that I will be entering for a design team , so I've been putting a lot of work into having that finished by Dec 15. I can't wait to show ya'll the finished Art journal and to post a tutorial video of how I created everything. Hopefully this cough and runny nose will be gone soon so I can be at 100 % very soon! Here is a sneak peak at one of the pages I'm working on currently ( hehe)... Enjoy and I hope everyone had a great weekend.

Whimsy Flower

I stamped my first layer

stamped second layer to add interest

Added Some ink Color

Adding  glimmer mist

Scrunching and drying flowers

Ta-Da !!!

This was a just for fun project! I wanted to make a flower that would lay flatter then others I've created in the past, to possibly be attached to the front of my art journal. Normally the paper flowers I create take more time so it was nice just to throw some things together to create something that's beautiful! I decided to call this flower ( A whimsy Flower). I think I'm gonna start naming all the flowers I create just for fun.. Hope ya'll enjoy my flower and get inspired to create your own versions

Note : All the flower layers were attached by adding a few drops of Glue to each Flower layer. I drew all the flower shapes but you could easily use a flower die ( I choose not to use a die because I was trying to achieve a certain look)
