crop’n part 2

well, the fun is over, all that is left is putting away all the gear i lugged to the crop!

the good news is that i was pretty productive, getting bunches of layouts, several cards and a project for the ClearSnap Blog AND my layout for my may photoFULL class DONE!

here’s some pics of the other layouts i did. since i keep albums for both boys, most of the layouts that have both kids were duplicated!

projects to share!

hello!

i know i don’t always post a lot of projects on my website, but that doesn’t mean i’m not busy MAKING THINGS! LOL!

right now i have a few projects scattered around the web and i’d like to share them with you…

first, a pendant that i created for GRAFIX was selected as the project of the day – 4/3/2013 – by Crafts n’ Things Magazine. they sent out links to the project in their april newsletter as well as listed the project on their facebook page.

you can view the BUTTERFLY PENDANT here: CRAFTS N’ THINGS FACEBOOK PAGE {https://www.facebook.com/craftsnthingsmag} just scroll down to 4/3′s posts and you’ll see a BIG pic of a butterfly pendant! i’d appreciate it if you’d give it a “like” or leave a comment!

you can also see it here: CRAFTS N’ THINGS NEWSLETTER {http://blog.craftsnthings.com/?p=5202}

there is also a YouTube Video that shows how to make the pendant step-by-step on the Grafix YouTube Channel: BUTTERFLY PENDANT {http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Chs7sjS2ckI}

Grafix also included two projects i designed for them on a header on their website: GRAFIX IDEA HEADER {http://www.grafixarts.com/Ideas/}, the mosaic pendant at the lower left and ther CREATE decor piece that runs across the header. i made a video showing how to make the CREATE piece too; it’ll be out soon!

i also have a little notebook project that is included in Grafix’s Project Gallery: COLORED SHRINK FILM ALTERED NOTEBOOK {http://www.grafixarts.com/images/company_assets/512F1C7F-0D64-4A5E-9D91-785DC064755F/ColoredShrinkFilmNotebook_9868.PDF}

and lastly, the new 2013 CLEARSNAP CATALOG {http://www.clearsnap.com/catalog.cfm} is out and they have REALLY outdone themselves artistically! the catalog is GORGEOUS and is filled with wonderful projects from some very talented designers. i am very excited to have my work shown along with theirs:

valentine’s projects…

hello!

i’ve posted several Valentine’s Day projects on the ClearSnap Blog in the last few weeks! if you are looking for some last minute inspiration for the “day of love”, head on over to check out my projects as well as those from the other ClearSnap Creative Team members. there are a LOT of terrific cards, projects and more posted, and all include supply lists, and some include directions and or videos.

a few days ago, i posted a project designed with kid’s in mind. a little necklace with a holder that you can slip a box of conversation hearts in…

convo box - wm (1024x683)

i thought this would make a cute class exchange gift; the kiddos could wear their candy while they eat it! and the project is simple enough that the kids can help make a lot of the parts for the project themselves. i also posted a video that shows how to make the holders step-by-step. you can view the post and the video HERE!

happy valentine’s day!!!

junque… junque and MORE junque!

i’ve been playing with some junque jewelry that i bought a few days ago – a HUGE stash of vintage rhinestone jewelry…

jewelry stash - 1 (1024x683)

i LOVE pawing through junque jewelry, you’ll never know what treasures you might find! and i found PLENTY of great bits and pieces! here are some of the jewelry pieces i made this weekend…

junque charm bracelet (1024x894)

junque charm bracelet - 2 (1024x683) junque charm bracelet - cu (1024x683)

i used a vintage sterling silver charm bracelet as a base, then made “charms” using broken bits off of earrings, pins and more.

bracelet (563x1024) (563x1024)

bracelet cu (1024x683) (1024x683)

this piece started with a bracelet that my mom bought me in canton. i decided to bling it up by adding some charms to it. this bracelet is SO me — i hate to wear a watch and this one has FIVE of them — but NONE keep time! LOL!

junque necklace 2 (683x1024)

junque necklace 2 - cu (693x1024)

for this necklace, i used a rhinestone button as the centerpiece, then hung a broken link from a bracelet from it. the chain features some crystal beads from a necklace and two links from an old bracelet with pearls wired in. links taken from several necklaces create the chain.

junque necklace 1  (683x1024)

junque necklace 1 - cu (670x1024)

this one started with an old skirt pin; i strung together different bits and pieces along with a few onsie earrings.

i figured i better stop playing before i used up all the junque i bought! i had thought to incorporate them into some class projects!

i’ve also been on a buying spree to find some great bits and pieces for the Secret Garden altered book! here’s a few of my purchases, i don’t know yet if they will all end up in the book or not…

fountain 1

seed packs

i’m not done shopping or planning yet! i can’t wait to get my hands on the G45 Secret Garden papers so i can start working on the book!

tfl!
