My Prima Bling Letter "B"

I purchased this plain green letter "B" at Michaels and decided to add my favorite Prima Annalee design paper and BLING it out. I didn't want to cover the letter completely because I wanted to still be able to see the design paper. I added a Prima flower, some of my Prima Crystals, Prima Pearls and my favorite charms. I just LOVE the way it turned out. Don't limit yourself to layouts, mini albums, etc. You can BLING almost anything with these gorgeous Prima Crystals and Pearls.

Ravenhead Manor Paper Pumpkins




I'm in charge of creating a craft project for Ashley's class to make during their Fall Party next week and I'm so excited. I LOVE being involved with my girls school. I thought it would be perfect for them to make paper pumpkins. Of course they will make some with orange and black construction paper. I then thought I can make some with my Ravenhead Manor Collection for myself as decoration for my scrap room and Halloween. I had purchased the coordinating embellishments and incorporated them onto my pumpkin. I wanted the top embellishment to match the paper and loved how it turned out. I used 3 different sizes of papers. The larger pumpkin is using 4 1" x 12" strips of design paper. The medium size pumpkin is using 4 3/4" x 8" design paper. The smaller pumpkin is using 4 1/2" x 6" design paper. I first marked the center of each strip in the middle and then adhered the strip on top of one another(see photo above)with my glue gun. This is a great project to make with your kids and a fantastic way to use your extras after making your minis.

Textured Picture Frame of My Girls

I wanted a picture frame that I can add a picture of each of my girls and display it in my craft room. I purchased a plain black wooden frame, but wanted to add some texture to the frame. I first sprayed the entire frame with LindyStampGang's Moon Glow's Moon Shadow Mist in Tawny Turquoise. I poured Utee right on top of the Moon Shadow Mist then, I heat set it. I really love that you can see the Turquoise in the Utee. The flowers I purchased from iamroses.com and sprayed the center white Gardenia's with Moon Glow's Moon Shadow Mist in Smokey Sapphire. The Gardenia on the top right I sprayed more than once to achieve a darker look. I really loved how it turned out. It looks as though I used two different stains.
