Hi everyone,  Thanks for stopping by !

I want to share with you some little favors I made for a crop I had on Friday.

I used some glassine bags and put some candy inside, I wrapped the bags with some red  cardstock that I edged with a Martha Stewart border punch..

 I then added a cute piece of clipart to the front, cut out with a Spellbinders die. large scallop octagon in two sizes. The paper I used is DCWV "The Summer Days"

I also made some little boxes. I cut these out on my Cricut with the "Tablescapes - Spring & Summer" cartridge. The star was cut out with the same cartridge. The 4th of July was cut with the  "Stand & Salute " cartridge.. then added a little button and flower punch and of course some bling ! and guess whats inside... you got it.. more candy :) These were a lot of fun to make and very quick and easy..

Hope you all have a very Happy and Safe 4th of July.. Hugs, Jennifer

Hi Everyone,  I  wanted to share my entries for the Wild Orchid Crafts design team open call.

I found this little chair at the thrift store. I painted it yellow and then dry brushed white over the yellow..   I took one of my granddaughters flip flops and made a pattern for the little mini..

The umbrella is a wedding bouquet holder, I cut the handle off and then turned it upside down and glued in a dowel rod..  I sprayed the ruffle with Lindys Stamp Gang, Pineapple Paradise..

I added lots of Wild Orchid Crafts flowers...

I used the Graphic 45, Tropical Travelogue paper for the mini.

 I bound the mini with seam binding, then added a charm I made.

I made the little cushion because the mini kept falling through the slats in the chair... :)

This is the little "Pillow Box" purse I made using the " Art Philosophy" cartridge from Close to my Heart.  ( handle and swirl are also from the same cartridge..

Then I added some beautiful Wild Orchid Crafts flowers, sheer trim and pearls..
Thanks for stoppomg by.. Hugs, Jennifer

Hi.. I'm back with my second dress form for the challenge... this was a lot of fun to make.. I used a little wooden box I got at the thrift store.. I put some Graphic 45 paper in the back of the box then stamped a chandelier ( my favorite stamp from Stampendous ) then added some fabric flowers from Joann's and some Recollections bling.. The dress form, spool and button are a Tim Holtz die. I heat embossed them 3 times with Stampendous "Pearl Garnet" powder and while they were still warm I took a big flourish stamp and stamped into them.. I love this look.. It adds so much texture.. I added some pretty lace with pearls around the box and some lace and a little flower to the dress form.. the flower is from Prima.. I also added some Pink Stickles to the dress form...

This is what the box looked like before I got my hands on it :)

Hope you are having a great week.. it has cooled down a little bit here in Cali... but I know it won't last... :( Hugs.. Jen

Hi everyone, here is a card I made for the "Piece by Piece " challenge.. This month the challenge was to transform a dress form.. this is my first time doing this challenge and it was really fun.. I have another dress form I am altering and I will share that with you when it is finished.. you can enter as many times as you want.. ( thepiecebypieceblogspot.com ) First I stamped the background with a Hero Arts stamp (Variety & Quality ) you can't see it to well but it is a really cute old fashioned ad stamp. The dress form is a Tim Holtz die. I used a Martha Stewart punch and some cute trim from Joann's... the "You Are Fabulous" stamp is from the Michael's dollar bin. I used grunge paper and fabric to cut out the dress form then added a little skirt and some inked seam binding.. and of course a little bling, pearls and a little flower.. Thanks for stopping by... hugs... Jen
