Hey everyone...sorry it's been awhile since my last post. My Henderson family suffered a loss this past Sunday, my father-in-law passed away after a long battle with cancer. We've spent a lot of the past few weeks visiting him after work and on the weekends so I haven't been home to craft. The service is tomorrow so if you wouldn't mind throwing up a prayer for my Henderson family and most importantly my mother-in-law, it would be much appreciated : )
I wanted to get online and do a quick post. To be honest I need the distraction right now and being a crafty place and mindset is what I need right now.
Today I wanted to share a project that I made for a co-worker and his family for their Christmas present. This was also my DT project for 3 Girl Jam, you can see the post on their blog HERE
This started off as a "naked" bird house from Kaiser Craft....
I thought I took a picture of this before I started but I can't find one so this is one I grabbed off Google...but I think you can get the general idea of how this looked before I scrapped it up : )
I made two of the flowers above using some of they FAB crinkle ribbon from 3GJ. The larger flower is from Petaloo and the leaves are cut from Websters Pages, "Your Life Beautiful" collection. Which is also the paper I used on this project.
More of the yummy crinkle ribbon...this is Halloween Harvest...one of my faves. I used some Glossy Accents on the birdies to make them pop a bit and added some stickles in Copper.
The branch & bird is from the Tim Holtz Bird & Branch die. I inked the branch and added some more stickles on the leaves. For the bird I used some distress embossing powder in Shabby White. Topped it off with some more of the 3GJ crinkle ribbon and a Petaloo flower. Love how this turned out : )
Here's a closer look at the flower cluster. You can probably tell that I love using the crinkle ribbon from 3GJ since I make and use these flowers on a lot of my projects. I just love how versatile it is and Julie does a FAB job of creating such wonderful colors.
Well...that's all I had for today. Thanks for stopping by and checking out another scrappy post.
I plan to get back to my regular posting this weekend after everything from the funeral is over. It's been a difficult week for sure for our family and I do appreciate the kind words and prayers from those that I've heard from through Facebook and by email and text. It truly means a lot.
Happy Crafting : )

Hey everyone..wow what an exciting post I have for you today : ) Scor-Pal is teaming up with The Play Date Cafe this week and I am beyond excited to "play along" this week. A few of us on the Scor-Pal DT created some projects using Scor-Pal products that went along with the color pallette at PDCC.
First let me show you what I came up with then I'll share the color story for the challenge.......
Love these colors....I was inspired right away when I saw them.
Next up are some photos of the completed project and then I'll have some photos at the end that show you how I created this mixed media wall art.
Cute flower made from some yummy 3 Girl Jam Crinkle Ribbon
I made this sparkly beauty with Scor-Tape...I'll show you how in just a moment.
Now for some photos of the creative process for this project : )
I started by painting over this metal wall art piece I picked up at a craft store.
Once the paint was dry I adhered some burlap strips using some Studio Matte Medium & Scor-Tape.
While the burlap & Matte Medium was drying I went to work on my sparkly chipboard embelishment. I used the TH Ornamental die for this. After I ran it through my Vagabond I covered the entire piece Scor-Tape...
Once you peel the backing off the Scor-Tape your left with some sticky goodness...
Next I sprinkled some chunky pink vintage glitter all over the chipboard...
I pressed it into the Scor-Tape just to make sure it was a nice even layer...
Voila!!!
The next few photos show how I made a floral embelishment with more chipboard, Scor-Tape & some yarn...
Such a fun & easy way to create your own embelishments!! For the rest of the project I used a variety of chipboard letters, paint, die-cuts, twine & various papers.
I totally had a ball creating this mixed media wall art and I am really excited to give this to my friend...who doesn't know she's getting it..hee hee. She reads my blog so I had to bring it to work today so I could give it to her before she saw this post : )
Be sure to check out all of the other FAB projects created by my fellow Scor-Pal DT sisters & the DT from the Play Date Cafe HERE. There are some amazing prizes up for grabs and you get two...yes two weeks to come up with your creative entry for this challenge!!

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!!

Hi everyone...I have a really fun fashionable card to share with you today. It's my submission for the Color Splash Challenge at The Play Date Cafe!
And here is the color story.....
I honest to goodness knew exactly how my project for this challenge was going to look as soon as I saw this color splash photo.
This is probably about as close to a Fashion Designer as I am gonna get so I wanted to really play it up with the feathers...haha. I used some of the yummy crinkle ribbon from 3 Girl Jam to create the dress...I love how it turned out.
This was a super fun card to create & even though I am a purple girl...I am really lovin this green color : )
Thanks for stopping by & checking out what I'm up to...I always appreciate my visitors : )
