Have you seen Want2Scrap's new Chipboard Dress Form? I decided I had to alter this and after I was done...I made a fun, and pretty big card/invite for a friend.

I decided to use Gesso on the base and then added a layer of Plum Walnut Ink. I painted the top layer of the form with black paint and then used spray ink to add some shimmer.

I tied on some tulle and added one of Want2Scraps Hot Pink 1" Roses.

Then I adding the new Nestabling Decorative Dress Form . I also added a touch of Fancy Waves Bling Border. 

After my altered dress form was done I framed it with cardstock and added my sentiment.

Check out this super simple altered container for Want2Scrap™.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and I thought I would make a few fun projects with our new Want2Scrap™ Ribbon.

Check out this altered hair gel container! Now it is perfect for giving a pair of earrings to one of my nieces!

This looks pretty elaborate but it really is just that simple! Look what you need to make it...


A few die cut circle, a butterfly, Silver Nestabling™ Circles, 1" Red Rose Ribbon, 72 Count Black Pearls, and Turquois Baby Bling. I also added a little ink to the die cuts, it just helps to define the edges a bit.

Now glue down the diecut circles and add the Silver Nestabling™ Circles to them.


Cut off just one rose and remove the netting background. Then attached it to the center of the circles. Embellish it with the other fun goodies.

Got to love the result that is achieved so easily!


I also did a little "bonus project this week. How about a cute Valentines bag.

The new ribbons at Want2Scrap can really dress up any project! Don't you love the fringe on those roses, gorgeous!


Hope you are looking forward to a little Valentine's Day creating of your own!

Welcome Little One for Want2Scrap!

One of my dear friends will soon be blessed with her first baby soon. I thought I would work ahead and make a card for when the little one comes.

I wanted it to be a cute, colorful card and not your traditional baby colors...I wanted it to have a fresh and fun feel to it.


These Silver Rhinestone Swirls by Want2Scrap™ are perfect for this. I love that they stick to just about anything...lace included. No extra glue was necessary!


Lets not forget the Silver Nestabling™ Circles. They are a great way to frame or highlight something! I love how they draw attention to the circle and the darling bicycle in it, so dang cute!

Altered vintage and sewing inspired photo frame!

Hi all!  I'm here with an altered frame from EcoGreen using lots of vintage bits and gorgeous products from Want2Scrap©! 

As a base I started with a plain frame from EcoGreen and then prepped it with the following layers...Eco Green Spackle and gold acrylic paint plus a layer of sewing pattern tissue applied with EcoGreen Artist Medium in gloss.

Once the frame was base prepped, I could go to town with pretties like Maxxi Girl Pearls - White, Decorative Pin Jewels - Set of 6, and flower ribbons in multiple sizes.

I had fun sneaking in some sewing oriented items like handmade zipper flowers (see tutorial here), measuring tape pinwheel, sewing pattern tissue flower, and a mini wooden spool without making this frame sewing "themed".

Lots of texture and glitter for this frame!

Pearl "studs" tack down the corners of the mitered zipper inner frame that declares just where this family hails from.  This was an incredibly fun project to make.  Just LOVE the layers!  Want2Scrap is chock full of pretties from your next piece of altered art!  I hope you'll try your hand at a project like this!

WONDERLAND by Want2Scrap Designer Terre Fry

So who doesn't just love Halloween In Wonderland by Graphic 45, The Mad Hatter is such a humorous looking foe and very suiting for this amazing Top Hat Chipboard album by Want2Scrap™. This album is filled with lots of creative goodies so sit back and take a stroll through Wonderland starting with the Chipboard Alphabet-Stylish, just look at all those curves and swirls.



I wish I could show you all of these amazing pages but the post would be very long so I will just have to pick a few of my favorites, like the Mad Hatter with his Marquis Silver Rhinestone Design, even the Mad Hatter needs a little bling, don't you think?

Now what would Wonderland be without the Rabbit and Alice, after all they are on a tight schedule. Just look at those Baby Bling Red Rhinestones, they just make this page twinkle and shine....hmmm just like bling!

Now Alice is a busy girl trying to keep up with that Rabbit and not to mention going to tea with the Mad Hatter and what about that looking glass....

Just look at how those Funky Swirls Silver Rhinestone make the Cheshire Cat grin, he must like bling too!

Now we all know that Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dumb where not the brightest of characters that Alice came across but they are still an important part of the story.

Just look how nice the Nestabling™ Petite Scalloped Circles Small Silver Rhinestones fit on the Spellbinders™ Sprightly Sprockets and the 72 Count Silver Rhinestones add just enough sparkle to make those sprockets shine.

Do you remember Alice trying to find the Rabbit in the rabbit hole? I am sure that this Rabbit hole never looked better with the Beautiful Bling Strip White Pearl/Black Rhinestones or the Brackets Fancy-White Pearl Large what do you think?

How about that Queen? Off with her head or maybe we could bling it up with some Swirls-Silver Rhinestones and a Nestabling™ Fancy Tags Three Silver Rhinestones, sound good to me.

We all know that Alice wasn't afraid of the Queen of Hearts after all she was just misunderstood, right?

I know if Alice had the chance she would have added a few Nestabling™ Scalloped Hearts Red Rhinestones for the Queen or maybe even a Nestabling™ Labels Twenty Silver Rhinestones just to impress the Queen of Hearts. I better mention that to make sure that this amazing album stays secure I used Beacon Adhesives Zip Dry and the stamps where from A Jillian Vance Design Swirly Monograms Stamp Set. Here is a close up of those hearts, see how they shine.

Well I am off to see the Wizard..hint hint, could it be my next album? You will just have to wait and see

 but in the mean time you can see all the amazing album and bling at Want2Scrap™ to create your own keepsake album. Happy Crafting...

Give a little love and a stick pin tutorial

Hey friends!  So are you so excited by the sneak peeks for the newest products coming out the bling encrusted doors of Want2Scrap® !?  Boy howdy, I have to tell you it is exciting!  Today I want to roll back to last year's CHA winter release of Nestabling™ and I have to say, I love the results of using Nestabling™ now as much as I did on day one!  One of my very favorite Nestabling™ shapes is the Nestabling™ Scalloped Hearts Pink Rhinestones.  Especially when it comes around to the season of Valentine's day!

I'm also really excited about some recent new additions to Want2Scrap®  like the Red Rose Ribbon 1" and the Decorative Pin Jewels - Set of 6. 

My favorite thing to do with pins of any kind is build on them to make unique one of a kind embellishments, like I did with the corsage pin I used above.  This technique is incredibly easy and can be accomplished with very basic supplies...

For this tutorial, I gathered Want2Scrap®  decorative pins, 3-in-1 Advanced Craft Glue, and two bags of a mish mash of colored beads I keep according to color.  In this case, blues and white/clears.  These bags were thrifted and consist mostly of inexpensive beads from the children's beading section of the craft store.  Perfect for unique projects since most of the beads don't match. 

Once I had decided on the combination of beads I would add to the Want2Scrap®  decorative pin in blue, I added a small dab of 3-in-1 Advanced craft glue in between each bead and slid the beads together so that they touch and will hold one another in place.

And...drumroll....that's IT!  Easy peasy way to make unique and wonderful stick pins for your cards and other craft projects!  Thanks for stopping by today!

Want2Scrap Flower Tutorial - Art Journal

I am new to the art journaling world, but loving it none the less. I have been so inspired by working with the super talented Christy Tomlinson. She has inspired me to try something new, and an art journal is just that. The world of mixed media is so huge that you can't help but have fun and get messy! I decided to add a ton of fun Want2Scrap goodies to this set of pages!

Digging my fingers into paint and inks can be so therapeutic. I have got to tell you how much I am loving our cross promotional paints from Eco Green Crafts.

To create this fantastic flower I first prepared my background. I then held the clear backing over the page where I wanted to place my flower and with pencil just lightly drew the shape.

 I  painted in my sketched design.

After the design dried I used a pen and loosely outlined the shapes. I then added the fantastic Pearl Flower.

Here is another view...

Look at these fun Chipboard Embellishments - Style D. They look great embellished with the Light Green Rhinestones - 72 Count.

I hope your now inspired to dig into your own paints...happy crafting!
