Be Inspired #84 Photo Challenge

By

Boy am I excited.  This is my first Challenge as a Design Team Member of Cuttlebug Challenge.  It is such a honor to asked to join this fabulous team.  The challenge for this week is Photo's.  I first thought of Father's Day coming up so I decided a wonderful gift for my Dad was in order.  He absolutely loves his Grand kids so I decided to make him a Post-it note holder. 
I used an acrylic photo frame 5X7 for the base.  The leather looking paper is a paper sack that I cut to 5X7 and ran it through the Cuttlebug with the Hounds tooth folder.  The I used umber Versa Color ink pad and ran it over the top.  I used Stretch Your Imagination cartridge and cut out the wonderful photo book.  The whole in the middle wasn't quite big enough so I used small scissors and cut up both side about 1/2 "  then folded it back and taped it.  I placed the picture behind the photo book and taped them to the "leather paper".  I added a piece of ribbon across the middle.  I then placed the page in the photo frame and taped the top so that it was secured.  I used Tear-ific tape to tape the post-it notes to the frame.  I can hardly wait to give it to my pops....

Wow!  Hello everyone.  I know it's been a very long time since I posted.  I've had to deal with some personal issues and couldn't dedicate my time to crafting.  But, I'm back!  I have been doing some really fun activities and having lots of fun with Betty from Bettybrett.blogspot.com .  She has amazing Friday try days. Her crops are the greatest.  I'm looking forward to the November one. It is called Candy Cane Lane. I'm even going to teach a class of my own in paper piecing. This class will be the 23rd of November.  More details on this to follow.    I've so missed crafting and I've missed my followers.  I always said " I love my computer because my friends are in it".  LOL  I will be posting pictures soon.  I just need to get this computer set up to do it with. Huggles,  Wanda

Wedding Affaire Lamp Shade

By
For our big Wedding Affaire on Cuttlebug Challenge Blogspot   I chose to make Crystal Goblet Lamp Shades. I first made the pattern in the shape and length that I want the shade to be. I used velumn to for the shade it self. To hold the ends of the shade together I used Tear-ific tape. It really holds well. Using the heart Cuttlebug Folder I dry embossed the heart in the middle of the shade. I made the cross hatch with using the pergamano technique. The K is cut out of Core'dinations gemstone with the Jasmine cartridge. I sanded the K to give it a softer look. The cute little butterflies are cut out of the Core'dinations pearls paper. I used the MS Pop Up Butterfly punch. They are the "cast off" pieces which left me a wonderful border for latter use. (LOL) I found this wonderful lace with pearls weaved through it at Joann's in the material section. Using the Tear-ific tape I laid it all a long the bottom of the shade then placed the lace over tape. I then cut the

Cuttlebug Challenge #48

By
Cuttlebug Challenge is having a month long celebration for their 1 year anniversay. This weeks challenge was a gift bag and card. For my gift bag I used a clipart from Daisie Company. I burnt around the edges to make it look old. (Little hint here. Don't do it in your kitchen even though there is water so if it get out of hand. It does set off the fire alarm. OOPS LOL ) Then I made the tag with my favorite folder for this project the Houndstooth. Tied it on with my twine to keep it in the same theme. My card I used Dustin Pike Digi-art Colored it with Bic pens and Gel pens. The inside of the card I used Clip art from Daisie Company and used the houndstooth folder again to distress the scroll.
