Cherish, Honor, Adore

These are frames to go in my craft room. These are $4 frames from Roberts. I love this Tres Jolie paper from My Minds Eye. It goes great in my craft room. I can't get enough of pink and green. I made the words out of Quick Cutz Silouettes dyes. The flowers and flourishes are also Quick Cutz. I also used Frosted Lace Stickles and Pink Gems from Heidi Swapp. I painted the frames cream and used Tea Dye Distressed ink from Ranger on the edges of the frames.

I am going to purchase a staple gun soon and staple brown ribbon to the back of the frames so that the 3 hang as shown above but with about an inch or so in between each of them. And I am going to hang them from a knob from one of my favorite stores, Rod Works. When I get that all done, I will post it so you can all see what I am talking about.

Happy Stamping Everyone!

Happy Together Frame

So I have decided that I am taking a small break this month from my normal Stampin' Up! workshops. I have just been running around so crazy lately, and I am so tired, that I am not going to have a workshop this month.

The good news for me is that I can have some time to make stuff for me. I have been concentrating a lot lately on stuff for my craft room so I figured today I would make something for my living room/kitchen area. It's pretty much one big room.



I went to All My Memories tonight and found this beautiful paper from Daisy Dee. It was a paper pack and came with the reversable matching cardstock flowers. The thing that is great about these, is that they are stackable. And I still have paper left over if I wanted to make another frame or if I want to use it for some scrapbook pages!



Here is a list of supplies:
  1. $5 frame from Robert's Art's and Craft
  2. Black acrylic paint
  3. Patterned paper and cardstock flowers ~ Daisy Dee
  4. Giant Paper Clip ~ Bazzill Basics
  5. Giant Black & White Polka Dot Paper Clip ~ Bazzill Basics
  6. White Gem Brad ~ Making Memories
  7. Newspaper Flower ~ Junkitz
  8. Green and Cream Paper Flowers ~Prima
  9. Black Gem ~ Doodle Bug Designs
  10. Pewter Hodgepodge Hardware {bookplate and ribbon slide} ~ Stampin' Up!
  11. Large Corner Rounder ~ EK Success
  12. Lime Ice Stickes ~ Ranger
  13. Distress Ink Tea Dye ~ Ranger

  15. Polka Dot Ribbon ~ Offray
  16. Black Stazon Ink
  17. Happy Everything Stamp Set ~ Stampin' Up!
  18. Mod Podge
  19. Glue Dots

I will be putting in a picture of Thong and I in this and it will be on a shelf by pictures of us with our families from our wedding. And I am picking up wood letters this week that spell out FAMILY by all of this. I think I may use the Scarlett's Letter paper from Basic Grey for the the letters. I think it should match well with this frame.

Hope you all like this! Let me know what you think!

Happy Stamping Everyone!

I can't get enough of this new line of paper from My Minds Eye, Tres Jolie. I used it on another project that I will post soon. It goes great in my craft room! I have a couple more monogram letters to go still after this for my craft room.
I got the small green shelf from Taipan Trading Co. And you can probably recognize the Mother's Day present that I posted earlier this week. I finally found a home for my poster of Aubrey Hepburn too. I have a couple of other small things that will fit on this shelf once I give my mom her present. I just couldn't resist when I saw this shelf at the store. They also have a cream one. It was only $10. I am finally getting my craft room put together a little more. I still haven't taken the updated pictures like I promised but hopefully I can get to that soon.

Happy Stamping Everyone!

Hi, it's me again. So much for having some time again to keep my blog updated. I have had a little time but then my internet would go down. So this is what I was up to this week. I had a baby shower of a friend yesterday. I ended up not going with the original cards that I planned to make her and came up with this card on Thursday night. So I gave her a stack of thank yous so she could give them out and not have to make her own. She only has a month to go, so as you can imagine, probably the last thing she wants to do.

  5. Old Olive marker
  6. Always Artichoke marker
  7. Regal Rose marker
  8. Pretty in Pink marker
  9. Rose Red marker
  10. Chocolate Chip classic ink
