Festive Friday Hop!!!!

Image
Good morning everyone, it's time for another Friday Festive Hop - to start at the beginning go back to Terri's site. Did you come from   http://www.craftyscentiments.blogspot.com/ .   If not,  please go back and make sure you go back and visit her blog first. The card I made for this hop is the "Peace" Dove card - very simple the dove is part of the paper design, I took some of Tim Holtz distress ink pads to add some red color to the paper,  a sticker Merry Christmas  was used instead of a stamp, only because I was in a rush. The word peace was cut out from the rest of the  page, glued some red paper to the word and glued it to  the card using some of Helmar's glue. I decided to add two more cards I had previously done -  these were done with just stickers.  I hope you like these cards Thank you for stopping by and please make sure to stop by  http://www.lauraleesdream.blogspot.com/   for more inspiration and hope you stop by for 

Quick Snippers + Paper = Jewelry & Accessories!!

Image
I was asked to make some jewelry and hair accessories by using Quick Snipper and paper.  Now I have done jewelry with just about everything, from recycled clothes, beads, yarn, clay, duck tape, but not once did I think about using paper, until I was invited by LIMIRI, LLC to design some jewelry and accessories for them using the great Quick Snippers - what is Quick Snippers?  it's a great tool that consists of 6 scissors in one, each has a different design pattern.  These are just a few of the items I have created.  I have to admit that at the beginning I asked myself how can I use paper to create jewelry. Well after I cut my first shape, it was easy to just keep on cutting different papers and I was hooked.  I love making jewelry, love creating new designs every time.  I am so happy I was invited to make paper jewelry with this great tool.  Now lets face it a lot of us craft on the go, I know I do, weather it's paper, clay or duck tape; I always have something with me to

Painting on Fabrics!

Image
I just wanted to share some of the works I've done in the past.  I love painting and painting on fabric is something I have enjoyed very much.  All these items were sold a few years back. Some of the aprons were custom made, the others I just made them and all were sold right away. I like to put a lot of detail and therefore it becomes time consuming to make one of these - so I have not done anymore, unless I have a request to do.  I was just asked to make a tote bag for a teacher, so I will get started on that very soon. Hope you enjoy my work, I sure had a lot of fun making all of these items.

pink water bottle headband

Image
These are the materials I used to make a headband today during lunch - I thought maybe adding part of a water bottle would give the headband some shape. this is the part of the water bottle that I used on this project here you can see the part of the water bottle - as you can see it does give it shape - this will be the part of the headband that goes on the top of your head - it curves it a little so it will sit nicely on your head. here you can see the finished head band base! I added some eazy start tape to the part that has the water bottle band! Here I took some white duck tape and covered it with the eazy start tape folded 2/3's and left the bottom exposed - I will need this glue part to adhere the tape to the headband - I'm going to make a fringed flower. Here you can see the cuts I made to the tape - getting it ready to make a flower Here is the finished headband - I will add some velcro to the ends so it can be wrapped around the head! Here is a close up of t
