A Die for a Sketch - Challenge #2

Hi there,
I am having so much fun with these sketches, and ALL the sketches in my life right now :) I've decided to try creating a different project each month, so as not to bore you (or myself)!
With that being said, for this month's challenge, I decided to alter a composition book, which I hadn't done in some time. I used K & Co's Ancestry.com papers and I used 4 dies, yes, 4 dies in my project, some pearl strands, some lace and trims and other small embellishments. It was totally fun to put this together. Now I'm looking forward to next month's sketch!!!!!!
Thank you so much for stopping by!

Friday Fun #9

Today's projects were made using K&Co's Ancestry.com paper collection (love it!!). These are regular tin cans I've been collecting for altering (a great recycled project). This particular one is for my makeup brushes, so I used colors to match my bathroom. 

These others are for gifts:

Friday Fun #6 -Oops! (late posting)

Shame on me, I haven't been very consistent in posting the photos of my projects here on my blog!
:( So sorry. Here's my project from episode #6, it's a large altered tin can for my daughter. I used her favorite colors as they match her bedroom.

I used paper from K&Co's Black & Ivory Fusion paper stack, some of my homemade paper flowers, some vintage buttons, a butterfly die cut, a black feather, some glittered pieces and some pearltrim.

Friday Fun #3

Here is a paper purse card set I made using paper from K & Co's ancestry.com collection. I made this set a bit more vintage than my first one. These are so super fun to make because the possibilities are endless!! I'll be posting a tutorial on how to make this paper purse soon on my YT channel, so stay tuned! Thanks for stopping by!

My 12 days of crafts series-Day 4

Today's project is easy-peasy!I made an altered gift bag! I've wanted to embellish one like this for a while. Thanks to YT vids that gave me some great ideas.

Altered Items

Since my card mojo was depleted last week, I thought I'd work on altering a composition notebook and a frame. Had fun with these, simple was my motto:)

Cards, cards &.......

I used the long weekend to scrap away, I made cards and altered some things. It was fun to complete these!

Busy bee, that's me!!!

Working on so many things. Having tons of fun!!!! Wanted to share a couple of cards and my second composition notebook. I'm enjoying every minute in my craft room.

Completed projects & more cards

Here are my first tries at altering some frames. They were really fun and easy to do. I recently started my spring cleaning and came across a stack of sorted sized frames, so I'll have plenty of practice.





Just a few cards I made while mojo was in high gear:) Nothing fancy, just lots of fun!
