I used Graphic 45 "Curtain Call" papers, Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Petaloo "Color Me Crazy" trim, FolkArt Metallic Champagne and Metallic Black acrylic paints, Iamroses flowers/leaves, Recollection roses, feathers, trim from fabric store, sparkle black ribbon from Michael's, wooden doll heads for "feet" attached with "Goop", gesso, frame and bling from Michael's.

My latest projects...

So to get started with my new blog, I thought I'd post some of my most recent projects. Beginning with the MOST recent, my son's wall art I made using a digi stamp from Tickled Pink Stamps. I took an open box frame I found at the dollar store and went from there...

If you're interested in the process, you can watch the YouTube video here.

I used a digi stamp from Tickled Pink Stamps called Lil Victorian Steampunk Lad Eric, for the focal point.  He reminded me so much of my son when I saw it!  I used copics to color him and the backgrounds include jute, designer papers from DCWV Tattered Time and elements from Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante.  I used other digi stamps for the backgrounds as well.  To finish, I used Tim Holtz corners and lots of distressing!

Next up is a chest of drawers I made for my mom for Mother's Day using Graphic 45 Once Upon A Springtime.

There is a YouTube video for this project here.

This is a memo board I made for my grandmother for Mother's Day.  I used Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante papers for this one.  The matching pen is a RSVP with the matching paper put inside.

The YouTube video for this one is here.

Now these are teacher appreciation boxes I made a few weeks ago for my kids to take to school.  They were a big hit!  I filled them with tea and chocolate!  Yum!

The videos on YouTube for these are here and here.

These are both made with $1.00 balsa wood boxes from Michael's.
