Hi everyone...welcome back for another scrappy post : )
Today I am sharing a project that I LOVE!!! I altered some drawers using the Chateau Lavender Stack from DCWV, crinkle ribbon from 3 Girl Jam and some other fab craft products.
This started out as a naked wood shelving unit & chipboard. I am so thrilled with how this turned out & it looks amazing in my craft room : )
I created some crinkle ribbon flowers & nestled them among some silk flowers I had in my stash.
I love how the papers look on the drawers themselves & how the metal drawer pulls from Tim Holtz complete the look.
And now for the back & side views....
Creating this project was so much fun & how could you not love all that purple goodness..haha. I can't wait to fill the drawers up with some vintage buttons, trims and other lovely embellis.
You can also see this post over at 3 Girl Jam.
Thanks for stopping by & I hope seeing my altered project will inspire you to work on your own project for your craft or office space. If you do...please let me know as I would love to see photos of what you've created : )
Happy Scrappin!!

What??? A Christmas card in mid July??? Yup...that's right. Over at The Perfect Sentiment we are having a Christmas in July card challenge : )
I know some of you live in states where the heat is just scorching & miserably hot so maybe looking at some Christmas themed cards will help give you a "virtual" break from the heat and bring on some cool thoughts : )
The challenge is to create a card with a sentiment for Christmas/Season's Greeting's/Hannukah. The twist is to use some border punches on your creation & make sure your sentiment is on the FRONT of the card where we can see it : )
Here's my take on this week's challenge......
I wanted to mix it up a bit and not use the traditional red/green colors. So I paired up some deep red CS with some blues & browns for this card & really like how they look together.
For my border punch I used the Martha Stewart large snowflake. I really like the detail on this punch & how it turned out on the TH distress CS.
I used a Sizzix snowflake embossing folder on the same CS..topped it off with a sentiment from K & Company's Tidings of Comfort & Joy collection & some yummy Maraschino twine from The Twinery.
Some cute felt poinsettias topped with more twine in Denim.
Really love how this card turned out...mostly due to the CS color combos I selected. I'll be making more holiday cards & projects using these colors for sure!!

Happy 4th of July my friends!!! The challenge we have for you today here at The Perfect Sentiment is perfect for this wonderful holiday and it's an "Anything Goes" challenge which I think most everyone loves since you have so many creative opportunities with this type of challenge.
Here are the details for this week's challenge..."In honor of Independence Day we are letting you celebrate your freedom by choosing the occasion for your sentiment. You are also allowed to choose the type of project you would like to create. Card, Tag, ATC, Altered Art etc.". Yay...I just LOVE these types of challenges : )
Here's my project for this week...
I made a 4th of July Amercian Pride bucket. I used one of the French floral buckets left over from my wedding...great way to re-purpose an item you aren't using anymore.
I cut some star shapes out of various cardstock & paper collections using a cart from my Cricut. I then added some Americana embellis to top them off & adhered them to some skewer sticks I inked up.
Here's the backside...has to look nice from all angles right???
This was such a fun project to create. Not only is this an item I can proudly display in my home in honor of our Nation's Freedom but it's also a great way to up-cycle an item you are no longer using.

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas"...oh wait....I am either 3 months late or really early for the holidays : ) I woke up this morning to some light (and I mean light) dusting of snow on our vehicles and lawn this morning so this weeks challenge fit in perfect. It's Christmas Trimmings challenge week with The Perfect Sentiment!
That's right..your challenge for this week is to create a Christmas card (with a sentiment of Christmas on the front) featuring some form of lace, ribbon, seam binding, twine etc on your card.
Here is my take on this weeks challenge...
To get in the holiday spirit to create this card I used some paper from Coredinations, DCWV & K & Company.
I tied some Maraschino & Honeydew twine from The Twinery in the fabric poinsettias...love that bakers twine : )
Stamped a holiday sentiment from my Fiskars clear stamps & wrapped some more of the yummy Honeydew twine around it.
I had this fab felt red trim in my stash and knew it was perfect for this card...love it!!
I love making the inside just as beautiful as the outside..ties the card together don't ya think?
