Lessology Jars of cuteness challenge!

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share a jar that I made for the Lessology jars of cuteness jar challenge. My husband and my wedding aniversary is coming up in a few days so I thought it would be sweet to make this jar of us, at our wedding, to give to him. It's hard to see because of the glass glare, but there is a picture of us in the jar at the wedding table where the photographer caught a pic of me telling him that "I love him".  For my recyled item, I  attached our pic to a wire and then stuck it into a wine cork, from a bottle of wine, that we recently had. I used a Classico Alfredo jar because it has an embossed finish on it that I thought would really add character to this project.

I painted the cover, then wrapped it and put some embellies on it.

Pixie ~ All hearts that are loved....

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share a lo that I did with the Pixie dust paperie  Pink Rose Cottage kit. For this lo, I wanted to create something that would show the love that my children have for one another and my hubby and I so I decided to create a home with the kiddo's in it to depict that all hearts that are loved will return home for more love. I created the house using some of the stickers, gorgeous pp, Pixie signature crinkled ribbon and one of the 'windows' from the Prima Shabby Chic treasure pkg. that's included in the kit. I added a little sewing, a splash of ink, and cut part of the cardboard from the box, that my beautiful kit came in, for the roof. So easy and fun!

For some reason, I couldn't get the bottom of this pic to come out straight, but the green border at the bottom of the lo is actually a really pretty straight sticker.

For daily inspiration, you'll want to stop by the Pixie blog, to see what the other talented DT girls and guest designer have created!

And don't forget to enter the wonderful giveaway. This month there will be 4 winners!

Pixie retro lo!

Hi everyone! A few days ago I showed you a retro lo that I made using the Pixie dust paperie Pink Rose Cottage kit and today I have another to show you...yup, I got two wonderful retro gals off of one piece of pp that was in the kit. I was able to put this lo of my wonderful parents together using it...so fitting for their era! I just absolutely love this kit...you really must check this one out...so easy and fun to play with!



 I  added one of the gorgeous Prima flower buttons, in the kit, to get the proper 'feel' to the lo. I also used a piece of the packing tissue behind the pic, a few drops of ink, and chalk to highlight near the sewing.

Here's a peak of the original paper:

Gorgeous, isn't it!

You can do any project as long as you have something recylcled in it. For us, we followed our guest designer, Vibeke, using corregated cardboard and some clothing tags.

Once Upon A Sketch Challenge!

Hi everyone! It's live! Yup, the challenge is live and it's all about you! For our Nov. 1st challenge we would like you to use this sketch, by Nadia, the lovely creator and owner of OUAS and journal at least 2 sentences on when you started scrapbooking and why. For me, this was very exciting...a friend had shown be a small book that the teacher had done about her son, during his year of kindergarden. I was so inspired that I went right out and bought scrapping stuff to do some lo's with my children. Shortly after that one of my daughters got a scholarship to go to a ski academy, so I decided to scrap her years there. My picture is of a scrapbook that I put together for her by using one of her old ski racing outfits. This is such an important memory for us. Now, I am simply obsessed with scrapping...I just can't seem to get enough of it...it allows me to not only take pictures, but also put them together in the form of art...a true passion of mine.
