Enchanting Creations

The winter edition of Enchanting Creations is now posted. There is a great tutorial on barn stars that I adored. One of my favorite scrappy friends Lisa Duke had several items published. And the round robin serious showed by far some of the most amazing albums I have ever laid eyes on--talk about inspiration. And if you check out the magazine, stop by page 120 for something I'm pretty excited about.

Renew

RENEW

This will be a calendar page for my on-going project.... the current pictures (from our wedding) are just for show. This is based on Laura D's stack the deck mini album. It has lots of layers and space for tags to pull out for pictures and journaling. As she calls it .. it has lots of "real estate." The page was completed for the distressing challenge I'm hosting at sb.com and for the January challenge of challenges with Flying Unicorn.

This is the project with all the tags in place:

Here's a close-up of the florish and a small clay flower. The copper flower was made with my Best flexible Molds.

This is all the tags pulled out. The page itself is loosely based on a sketch by Tammy at Flying unicorn for the mojo Monday challenge. You see the "real estate."

Here's a close-up of the Donna Salazar dress form that I fussy cut. Also I cut the the gears on my Silhouette CAMEO™. I used it as a mask and the left over mask was used as a gear on the dress form peice.
My handmade cluster has a wire rose bush with some jean materials within the roses. The cameo was made with polymer clay and the mold my husband found me for Christmas. It's called the Krafty Lady Art Moulds. Plus I included a 3-d Martha monarch butterfly punch blinged up with Prima.

Here are two small tags peeking out from their hiding spot. Both tags were made with my Silhouette.
This is my dress form tag. I cut the dress form on my Silhouette. The copper flower was made using Best flexible Molds.

The corset is an origami fold (here's the tutorial) and the paper it is made from is actually wedding wrapping paper. I added jean material, beads, safety pins and lots of distressing.

RENEW- is my word of the year. My husband and I must adjust our lives and renew our love with the addition of the baby to the family. It's not that we have lost the love, but our love has transformed and "renew" was the best word I could think of to explain this transition in our lives.

Blog Candy and Pocket Watch Tutorial

The last time I looked I need four more viewers to reach 100. At 100 I will send a RAK of some of my handmade goodies.

Now for a tutorial. My first one using Movie Maker and Youtube. Thanks to a defiant, sticky "D" I may have some typos. I tried to fix all the bras to brads!

Happy News and More Jean Projects COMING

I am super psyched - my little Box of Memories- won a challenge at Girlie Grunge.

I got a super cool blinkie and more awesome Donna Salazar goodies. I've had so much fun playing with the stuff I already have.

Because I'm loving the jean material so much I've decided to host the Distress Challenge at sb.com again with denim as a twist.

I also found that my wonderful pal Cindy is hosting Denium blue challenge at Funtoolas.
