Button Ornament



This is for a handmade ornament swap I'm in over at the stamp shack. I used about 72 green and red buttons and strung them on wire then tied ribbon to it. Pretty easy but very cute I think!

Butterly Silhouette



These were done for a silhouette swap. I know most silhouettes are done in black but I thought white would look better. I used distress ink with a blending tool to create the background color. The butterflies are done with clear embossing powder on white cardstock.

I need a little more practice to make them look more professional but they are really fun to make and pretty easy!

Look Who's One

I've finally finished the scrapbook I have been making for my niece's first birthday. Most pages are a double layout so I took the pictures together. I'm not much of a scrapbooker but I think it turned out pretty good.

Spotlight



I love the spotlight technique and it's one you don't always see a lot of. This was done for a swap I'm hosting. I used that Smooch stuff to put the dots on the petals and on the inside of the flower. Pretty neat stuff to use and dries really fast.

Monday- Lindsay's Stamp stuff time


Awww, spring!!! This is my creation for Lindsay's Stamp Stuff. I used the Doodle Flowers set for the flag on my mailbox. The mailbox came from the dollar section at Target. They had them out around valentines day. I thought this might make a cute little gift to give to someone for Easter too. You could fill it full of candy and then they could use it to store goodies in too!!! Anyhow, I hope you all have a wonderful week!

This is my first entry for Lindsay's Stamp Stuff Junior Design Team!!! Easter is so close and this image I think really captures the spring like feeling of Easter. You can find this set over at My Grafico. I colored it using my Bic Mark-It's......I just love those things!!! I decided to keep it simple and just mount it on cardstock and used a touch of pattern paper to give it a little interest. Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!!!!!
