It has been awhile

This is a picture of some tins I have been working on to sell at my quilt guild's quilt show in April. I used papers and then mod podged them and added a bit of bling. I will be putting some thread and fancy tape measures in the boxes.

 

These are the tins I did for a swap I am in. The little red one is an actual altoid tin and I mod podged handmade paper to the box.

This is a box I made for Valentines from the Graphic 45 line 'A Place in Time'. I used the month of February. It to has mod podge for protection.

 These last pictures are the mini album I made to go inside the Birdsong box. It too is made with the 'Birdsong' line of papers from Graphic 45.

I hope to take pictures of the quilt I made for my guild's challenge. I just have a round of red ric rac to add.

Stuff I have been making

This is a swap I made for Alpha Stamps. The theme was winter wonderland and we had to decorate coasters. I used a lot of bling and a collage sheet from Alpha Stamps.

These are some Stick pins and Valentines I made for a swap on my Scrappinvintage ning group. I added a few fabric roses and bows at the bottom after I took the picture.

 I love Graphic 45 papers. I added some paper from the Birdsong line to this small wood dresser. I also added the mirror.

This is a box I covered also using Birdsong papers. The next photo is the inside of the box. It is going to hold the mini album I made using the same papers. I haven't taken pictures of the album yet.

The inside of the box. The next picture is of a piece I made using the Birdsong papers. I made the fans from the papers also.

Happy Thanksgiving

I hope everyone in the US has a Happy Thanksgiving. I am so thankful for my family and that we can all get together to celebrate.

Christmas album for gift

 Here is an album that I made for my daughter for Christmas. I used lots of different papers and embellishments. There are lots of pockets, tags and some fold outs. I made two as I have two daughters.

Cat cones for a swap

Here are some cat cones from a patten by Cart Before the Horse. I sent them off to my friend Judy in Australia. I had fun making them.

Apothecary

I followed a link from Alpha Stamps, an online store, that led me to Laura Carson's blog and her Apothecary Event and tutorials on how to make her cabinet and contents. I made lots of bottles and boxes and set them up in a display of boxes I papered. I had a really fun time making everything. I got the labels and lots of the embellishments from the Alpha Satamps online store. Here are pictures of my efforts.
