I LOVE YOU Valentine's Day Card

This is the third and last project that I completed yesterday. I had actually been working on this for a couple of days because I wasn't happy in the beginning how it was turning out and started it over a few times. This I LOVE YOU Valentine's Day card is up for auction on eBay right now. I used some fun glitter paper to make this. I was created not only created using DCWV glitter cardstock but using Best Occasions glitter paper. Best Occasions glitter paper is like those fun cards that you buy in the store that when you touch them you can feel the glitter cyrstals and sometimes they do come loose. It was fun yet messy to work with but the results are awesome. The card size is 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" and comes with a matching handmade envelope.

Harley Davidson 2009 Altered Calendar

Here is another project that I completed yesterday. This is one of the largest calendars that I do that I altered into a 2009 Harley Davidson Calendar. I used official EK Success Harley Davidson papers and embellishments on the project. I did want to use the motorcycle on an altered picture frame however I couldn't because it was too big, as well as being too for my medium sized calendars. Overall this calendar came out fantastic featuring orange flamed HD paper and then paper with logos of HD rides. I used orange ribbed ribbon to cover the separation of the two papers and then finished it off with the embellies. Of course since this calendar is bigger it took a little longer but overall came up with the same awesome result. This item is also presently up for auction on eBay.

Mickey Mouse 2009 Calendar

Here is a 2009 Mickey Mouse calendar that I completed last night...this calendar is presently available for sale on eBay. This calendar used the same techniques as all my other using Mod Podge specific cuts and then embellishments to complete. On this particular calendar since the Mickey Mouse epoxy sticker was see through I had to put it on white cardstock then adhere it to the page with Mod Podge and to give it more of a complete look I went around it with Christmas Red stickles to make it pop.

Altered Picture Frame with Matching Card

I did this project last week. The frame was a wooden frame that was hot pink with fish bones on it that said I love my cat and I turned it into a beautiful "Baby Girl" picture frame and matching card for a perfect new baby gift. This item is presently up for auction on eBay in my store. If you are interested in step by step instructions please do not hesitate to send me a message. HAPPY SCRAPPING!!

Tinker Bell 2009 Pocket Calendar

This Tinker Bell 2009 Calendar was SOLD on eBay. This is another one of the many altered 2009 calendars that I will be making this month. Others to be made include Mickey Mouse & Friends, Harley Davidson, Floral design, The Little Mermaid, Disney Pixar Cars and many others. These calendars range in sizes from 3 3/4"x 6 3/4", to 5 1/4" x 7 1/2" and the largest 7 3/4" x 10 1/4". The completion of the calendar takes several hours and I have made many calendars to learn to get the folds exactly right however the finished product is definitely a beautiful way to go through the year. As I complete additional calendars I will post them in here and they will be available on eBay unless stated otherwise. HAPPY SCRAPPING!!!

Cinderella 2009 Pocket Calendar

This Cinderella Pocket Monthly Calendar is available in my eBay store. It was created using Sandy Lion Cinderella Paper and Provo Craft Paper and embellished with Prima Glitter Flowers, FX Ribbon, The Paper Studio Brads and Sandy Lion Chipboard Princesses. I used Mod Podge to adhere the paper to book as well as Cinderella to the cover, the flowers were adhered with hot glue. I used my Crop-a-dile to put a single eyelet in the back add a bookmark to the book and added a K&Company metal art tag that says "dream". If you are interested in this calendar it can be purchased in my eBay store under my "Favorite Links"

Altered Coaster Holder Pics & Info

As stated in the blog this coaster holder was created for a birthday gift for a friend of mine. Though it might not look like it was that hard to do it actually was. This piece took a lot of measuring and a lot of detailed cuts. For this project I used the following tools & products:
Products:
12x12 The Paper Studio Paper
Paper Studio Brads
Prima Glitter Flowers in Red & Black
Red 7/8" ribbed Creation Station Ribbon
and
Red 1/2" shiny FX Ribbon

Tools:
Mod Podge
Exacto Knife with fresh blade
1" foam brush
Hot Glue Gun w/all temp glue sticks
12" metal ruler

The paper as I stated in the blog was a measure like ten time cut once, for two reasons 1. I only get one shot at the alter & 2. because I only had one sheet of that paper. I based my cuts by measuring and outlining the item on the underside of the paper I did this by eye by wrapping it around the holder. I used a ruler for my angles and then cut with my exacto knife. I cut the basics first and then when it came to preparing to adhere I did one side at a time. To finish off the holder I hot glued the thinner ribbon on the exposed edge of the holder. I left tails at either side so it had a finished look and so it didn't peel away. I used the wider ribbon around the sides and this covered the tails of the thinner ribbon. I adhered the wider ribbon using 3M double-sided tape on the underside, wrapped it around the side and to close of the edges so it doesn't come undone and so it doesn't fray I added a bit of mod podge on the edges. The bow was made from the same ribbon and then hot glued in place. The brads were placed in the flowers before glueing them into place. And what comes up is the final product that you see.

Altered Coaster Holder

I created an altered coaster holder for a friend of mine for her birthday... of course her birthday was in December and it's taken me a long while to get this done but in my defense this was a one shot deal so I had to think about it before I actually did it. So since I only had one shot at it I went with the measure twice cut once theory however I actually measured like 10 times. Following you will see what it looked like before and then after and the progress of how I got it where it needs to be. I have many other projects that I've completed recently that I will be posting over the weekend and if you have any questions on any of them please do not hesitate to ask. HAPPY SCRAPPING!!

This card that I made is presently listed for sale on Etsy.com under seller name DiDisCreations (please see my link under MY PLACES). The card is blank inside so it can be filled out for any occasion or personalized by request.

For this card I used Pink Cardstock for the matte of the card as well as the lined coordinating envelope and black cardstock for the base. All the Harley Davidson embellishments are from the EK Success Harley Davidson Collection and I used Colorbox catseye black ink for the inked edges.

Altered 2009 Calendar

This is a 2009 Calendar that I altered and is presently for sale on eBay under seller name going-gong-gone2u. The auction ends on Sunday 10-12-08 some time around 8pm CST. I love altering calendars I did a lot of them for 2008 and found that it is a passion. I presently have many calendars large and pocket sized, as well as composition books, small 3 subject notebooks and telephone books still to alter. When I seem them at a great price they are SO worth picking up even if I don't get to them right away.

This calendar was altered using The Paper Studio paper, Petaloo & The Paper Studio Flowers, The Paper Studio Brads, All My Memories Eyelets, FX red & black ribbon. For the lettering I used my Cricut Expression with the Opposites Attract cartridge for the 2009 and Accent Essentials for the flourish. The paper is adhered using Mod Podge. To insert the eyelets I used my Crop-a-Dile.

Altered Address Book

My sister received this address book about ten years ago from someone and never used it due to the fact it was a hideous hot pink color. BUT she did at least save it and after seeing some of the work that I've done altering calendars (I'll post some soon) and other telephone books she asked me to alter this one for her. Now she gave me the book in March and having a million things on my plate lately I just got around to doing it last weekend. So here are the Before, During and after pictures.

I used Miss Elizabeth's scrapbook paper & ivy stickers, Creation Station Ribbon and my George Cartridge on my Cricut Expression for the letters. For adhesive I used Mod Podge to adhere the paper to the book and my hot glue gun to adhere the ribbon.

She was very happy with the result.
