Embellishing a Store Bought Frame

We love our preferred partners. When I saw these papers from Authentique, I was so immediately inspired to start crafting.

I started with a plastic frame from Ikea. First off, I could not believe this was plastic, it's so NICE!

I die cut several flowers using Spellbinder's Spiral Blossom.

Most of the other pieces are ready made.

The Bird on a Branch is a silhouette.

I used one of Donna Salazar's Puzzle Pack pieces and covered it with yellow patterned paper,

distressed it by sanding, and glazed it with glossy accents.

Then, it was time to drip the bling.

I took Sleek Strips and made a few cuts so I could round the corners of the inner opening.

I carefully trimmed around the butterflies from the Wonderful Wings Nestabling set, and left the clear backing intact, and just glued using a glue dot. Finally, I added some strips of Nina Brackett's gorgeous Chevron Bling Border to the tabbed card.

This project really didn't take very long, but I'm so pleased with the results.

What do you think?

Dressing up a Dollar Store Find and a Canvas!

Canvases seem to be my project of choice these days...they make me feel like an artist, they are "usable" in that you can hang them up and in this case they make the perfect gift. One of my dear friends birthday's is this month and she is going to be starting a cafe soon. I decided to make her a canvas for her soon to be cafe.

It is a large 12x12 canvas. I cut out the mug by hand and then added lot of texture and definition. A Sleek Strip of Bling is the perfect touch.

I sprinkled Baby Bling White Pearls in the coffee foam...almost looks real. Light modeling paste mixed with paint really added texture and it gave a delish look!

These great Classy Corners really finish off the canvas.

A few tri-dots of Baby LeCreme Pearls accented the title.

I also picked up this cute envelope holder at the dollar store... cute, but could be cuter.

Now with just a few products, we could dress this up for sure! 

This is so much cuter, don't you think?

Up close and personal...

I am much happier having this sit on my desk.

Hello Want2Scrap Friends, Fans and Followers!   

I am a mother of 5 beautiful children.  My oldest will graduate High School in 2014 and my youngest, who will be 3 in February, is just about potty trained.  So, needless to say, diversity is a constant in my life.  That is a true description for my creativity, also.  I enjoy all types of art and ENJOY is an understatement.  I love making cards, scrapbook layouts, and 3D projects, but I don't stop there.  I also love painting, mixed media, altered art, upcycling, and creating home decor.  

BLING is definitely a favorite product to use when I craft and Want2Scrap products always comes through for me.  Whether it be using their beautiful pearls and rhinestone bling or a number of their Fancy Brackets and Swirls, you can't go wrong!!!  And who can resist their fantastic Corrugated and Mixed Media Abums?  Or the awesome Chipboard Albums and Embellishments???  Not me....LOL!  I just adore ALL of their products, truly!

I first came to know the Blogiverse in January 2011 when I started blogging at Jessica's Craft Shaque.  I was instantly hooked on sharing my projects, crafty tips, and creations.  I really am happy when I can visit my favorite product sites and friends' blogs to gain inspiration to be creative.  



I enjoy connecting with others through all types of Social Media, maybe a little too much .  I can be found at any of the links in this post, along with finding me perusing about under a number of different crafty aliases:

I would love it if you would stop by any of my "Creative Spaces" and peek around.  My mission is to provide as much inspiration as possible and offer any advice I can to others that are seeking help.
If I have provided any amount of Crafty Satisfaction to even just one person, then Mission Complete!

Beautifully Frame Your Cherished Photos With Nestaboard and Bling!

Hi everyone!

True :D here to share a couple of projects with you.

Now, I could have taken this darling photo of my grandson Joseph, and taped to to the refrigerator to display, but why just tape, when it's so easy to turn it into a beautifully framed piece of art?

I simply took a Want2Scrap - Nestaboard Labels Eighteen piece, covered it with a scrap piece of designer paper from my stash, and inked the edges.

After it dried, I adhered a photo and the "baby Joseph" pieces that I made from kraft cardstock. The beautiful finishing touches of 72 Count LeCreme Pearls and 72 Count Turquoise Rhinestones, add so much sparkle and shine! I added a couple of magnets to the back and placed it on my refrigerator so I can see my darling grand-baby every time I walk past it. ;)

I thought I would share a bonus project today as well.

I created this card for Inky Antics CHA board display.

It was created with one of my brand new stamp sets and designer papers!

The stamp is #11156MC "Swirly Butterflies" clear set, and the paper is my #IA-PAC002 Butterflies on Roses designer paper. 

I loved how this card turned out, but it wouldn't be nearly as pretty without adding the sweet 72 count Pink Pearls.
