Monthly Charm Swap

This Group will swap charms monthly.

No matter the size of the Group, you will make 3 charms and receive 3 charms each month. Your charms need to be sent to Lia no later than the 25th day of each month. This is to ensure that they are received for distribution by the last day of the month. I will send the charms out to everyone by the 5th day of the following month.

Note:

Each charm should have at least 10 charms/dangles with some type of clasp (TH swivel, lobster etc).

Each charm must be presented on a nice presentation so the the recipient knows who it was created by.
*** Optional***

Vintage Camera

Pt 3 all put together just have to add some details!! Loving how this it turning out!






PT2 - It's coming along nicely!

Hey all!! I'm working on something and wanted to share the beginning of something great. I've wanted to make a mini book that looks like a vintage camera for awhile and at the time no one in the scrap world had created this....well before I could even start one I was on the Scrapbeach Ning site and saw ButterbeesScraps created one!!! What that can't be...lol. Well if you haven't seen it check it out on youtube. Well I didn't give up my dream and here's the start to something great!! I made the bellows from canvas. I will share more pictures as I complete this little treasure...enjoy.

Here's a look from the front...I've cleaned it up a bit since this picture was taken..and the bellows really move like the real thing!!


Bellows are meant to keep light out when a photo is taken so I had to paint them black!! I used the Tim Holtz black acrylic paint dabber to paint the canvas. Stay tune more to come!
Thanks,

Altered Dress form

Have you all seen these little dress forms at M's??? They are so cute and easy to alter!! I made this one as a Thank You gift.....her favorite color is pink so I did this one up in pink and black. I even took out my sewing machine and made a little black dress, do you all remember making doll clothes??? I hand drew the vines and painted them and added the paper roses...nice touch huh? The large pink flower is also handmade. Then I loaded her up with sequins and pearls. Well head to your nearest M's and grab one of these girls and see what you can do....have fun!

Elegant Shoe

So Ms. Dee over on http://dees-specialthings.blogspot.com/ asked me about paper shoes and challenged me to give it a try....well I only got to make one to the dozen she made so make sure you check them out! Well here's the one I made and yes I will be make more they are just toooo cute! Any whoo here's to you Ms. Dee :).

Enjoy!

Vintage Flower Swap

Here's my take for the vintage flower swap...colors for my group was pink, burgundy and plum. Hope the ladies over on the Scrapbeach like these because I loved making them!! Enjoy.

Charm Swap!!

Here are my charms and tag for a swap that I'm in over on the Scrapbeach Ning site. D is for Daisey's and diamonds!! All the flowers on the charm and the tag/frame are handmade by me.

Hope the ladies like it!!

More Organization and a Tag

Well I'm still working on my room doing some organizing! My wonderful hubby put up a rod system to hold all my Martha Stewart punches.



I've also cleaned up my ribbon gutters...because someone asked what was holding them up and I couldn't show a close up of my mangled mess..lol. So here's a picture of the system and a close-up of the gutter clap that is bolted to the wall so the gutter just sits right in.

So I'm guessing you all want to know what I've created.....well I've only completed my tags for my charms that I did for a swap over at the Scrap Beach and that's it for this weekend. :)

But there will be more to come! Happy scrappin.

Thanks for stopping by.

Flea Market Finds

Today was beautiful here in the south so what better way to spend the day than walking through a Flea Market! Didn't really find much but that's the fun part hunting the things you are looking for and some that you're not...well here's what I found.

These are old thread spools that I will find something to use them with. So don't be afraid to dig around an antique store at your local flea market....you never know what's under the next box of stuff..:)

Charms!!!

Here's a quick video of my charms that I've been working on.....Enjoy!!

My scrapbook room!!

Hope you all like my room because I love it!! LOL

I'm Back!!!

Wow it's been awhile since I posted on my blog but that doesn't mean I haven't been busy!! I've been creating a lot of things but haven't gotten around to posting them but I will put them in a slide show. I've found so many new loves....swivel clasp charms OMG!! I love these and I found the perfect little dress form to display them on so stay tune for pictures. Also, my wonderful hubby re-did my scraproom so I be adding a slide show of my new room! Stay tuned.
