More Helmar and Scribble Scrabble

My little girl recently told me that I hadn't made anything for her lately, so when I saw the colors of the Ruth collection by Scribble Scrabble, I thought of her immediately. I made this corkboard for her room, so she can hang up her favorite photos or her artwork. I found this one at Big Lots, but you can pick one up almost anywhere, inexpensively.

I covered the surface and sides of an art board with the patterned papers using Helmar's Acid Free Glue. If you can't find art board you can use anything that is square shaped and sturdy, I just used the art board because that's what I had laying around. The big chipboard flower was then covered with patterned paper and buttons. (I used the Gemstone Glue to apply the buttons.) To hold the paper rosette in the center together I used the 450 Quick Dry Adhesive. The border strips were applied using the Acid Free Glue.

I'm thinking I might make one of these for my mom for Mother's Day!

Scribble Scrabble Bangles!

One of the preferred partners for the Helmar design team is Scribble Scrabble. I received the the Evelyn collection and was immediately attracted to the bright, fruity colors. I decided to use it to make these fun bangles!!!

I was thinking about a Mother's Day gift when I started these, but as usual, I'll probably be keeping them for myself!!! If you would like to try making these, I have instructions on the Helmar blog.

Have a great day! :)

Manic Monday

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a fun weekend!
Today it's my turn to post my DT assignment over at the Pink Paislee blog. I used the Winsome Fetching line mostly for this project. You can see more details here.

By the way, I used Helmar's Crackle Medium on this frame, I love that stuff!!! I think it gives the project a kind of rustic kind of feel, don't you?

I'll be back in a day or two with a really quick, jewelry project idea.
See you soon,

Patchwork Piggy!

Me AGAIN!! - Can you believe it! I just wanted to share my latest project with you.

Rebecca from Pink Paislee, asked me if I could do this project for a charity event she was asked to participate in. Of course I said yes, since it was for charity and because the little piggy face she emailed me was too impossible to resist!!! :)

I decided to combine my two favorite companies, Pink Paislee and Helmar to complete this assignment. For more details and instructions on how to do this, you can go here.

Every time I look at this back view this comes to mind......

"Does this skirt make my butt look big??!!!!" It must be my subconscious telling me it's time to get rid of those extra pounds I've been holding on to!! :)

See you soon!

My Snow Angel

Hi guys, I hope you all had a wonderful Easter!

Today, I have a project to share with you all that's a little, okay, a lot out of season!!! But, I made it for a Christmas call. So here she is, my little snow angel!!!

I like traditional colors for Christmas, but I also love to "change it up" a little. One of my favorite color combos for Christmas is pink and green, so for this project I used Pink Paislee's Tinsel Town collection. The base is a star shaped box and the snowman is a little wood ornament. I combined the two to create a gift box / Christmas decor piece. If you click on the picture above you can see that I used punched circles of patterned paper to cover the snowman. It's an easy way to cover a three dimensional surface.

This is the snowman before he was altered.
