Devotion Puzzle Hanging Sign

I just had to make another hanging sign with my Bare Essentials Sherry Puzzle Die. I thought it would be super fun to make a photo stand using two puzzle pieces. I'm really loving Creative Imaginations new Devotion collection. I just had to purchase several sets to add to my paper collections. heehee I can't wait to create a layout and so much more.

IAR Altered Mirror

I love the shape of this mirror and new instantly I wanted to alter this and add IAmRoses flowers. I really love that you can take something so simply and by adding IAMRoses flowers, it creates something very beautiful. I first painted the frame with FolkArt Baby Pink acrylic paint, then painted crackle medium and painted on top of that with FolkArt Vintage White acrylic paint. I distressed the edges with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink. I wanted to add my favorite lace and pearls around the entire frame. My lace bird diecut was just the perfect piece to add my mirror. I'm having fun with all these different lace die cuts and adding them to my projects. Listed below are the flowers I incorporated on my mirror.

My "What's In Your Vintage Purse Swap?" purse for Sherry

Hi Everyone!

Here's my Vintage purse I created for my swap partner Sherry. I hosted a "What's in your Vintage Purse Swap" here on my blog and was really excited about the wonderful ladies that participated. The theme was "Shabby Chic" and to use a wooden purse from Michaels or any craft store. I love the thought of creating ten handmade projects and incorporating them to fit inside the purse and then be able to display everything after opening it. Its always wonderful to receive gifts, but its much more special when they're handmade. I'm excited to host another swap next month. Be sure to look out for my post on my blog. Thank you again ladies for particpating in my swap and I can't wait to see all your purses.

I Am Roses "In the Garden” Creative Contest

Hi Everyone!

I'm excited to announce IAmRoses is hosting their very first "In the Garden" creative contest. Each design team member will be sharing their projects incorporating the gorgeous flowers both on their YouTube channel as well as their blog . Please be sure to stop by iamrosesdt YouTube channel for all the details. We're all very excited to see all the beautiful projects.

For my project, I created a dimensional butterfly picture stand using my Accucut Butterfly #3 die. I adhered Pink Paislee's Butterfly Garden design paper on black light weight chipboard, then adhered another design paper only to the center of the butterfly to give it dimension. I incorporated my favorite Mini brown roses (R2-827)to the body of the butterfly. I love the new stamens that will soon be available on the website as the anttena. To accent around my photos I added the mixed brown roses (R6-827), Classic Color Cherry Blossoms (S3 - 310), Tan Brown Leaves (ZQL0 - 75)and Mini Roses (R2 - 827). I really love how beautiful IAmRoses flowers can make a simple project look so wonderful.

Butterfly Garden Bird Cage

When designing my bird cage die with Accucut, I wanted to create the die to be more than just an album. I visioned two of the bird cage covers together to appear as a full birdcage. I'm really happy how it turned out. It's exactly what I had visioned and more. I adhered two of the jump rings to the other bird cage die cut. I then added the chain to both the rings and the bar. I just love seeing the bird swing back and forth. I can't wait to create more.
