Altered Composition Book


Here is another altered composition I created last night.  I chose the heading My Style and used some nice decorative papers. Used a poodle sticker, embossed scrap paper, martha stewart punch and some bling.  On the inside I made it functional and made pockets to put little notes in.

Magnet Board


Here is a project that has been on hold for many many many years. I finally found papers I wanted to use.  I backed it with felt so it doesn't scratch the paint on the wall. 
I will find better magnets to use on the board seeing it has rough parts due to the paper having glitter on it. Used some flowers that I made and others have made.  Used some little wood tea cups I received in a giveaway bag I won. Put magnets on the rose resin cameos I made. The magnets are not as strong as I would like but it will do for now. 
Either way its appealing and is above my desk.

Crocheted Mermaid Set 2


Here is my attempt at a Mermaid Tail Set 2. NO PATTERN!!!!!! This is all me and in my brain hehe. 

I did get a tiny help on the crown because I got stuck but figured it out.  Here is a helpful video for crowns/tiaras https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQEt7mgCqQw&feature=share . Of course I made it my own.

This one was a bit harder to make because the yarn is so soft. Took about 2 days to make this set.  I did make the pearl centers on the top. Used clear thread/fishing line to make it. Sewed them to the top and sewed pearls to the crown and head pieces. Love the color combination. Don't usually see this set up.  Added the cream pearls to the top to give it a different look.

Of course I made it my own. I will be making more of these. They were so fun. Took a whole day to make this set.  I did make the pearl centers on the top. Used clear thread/fishing line to make it. Sewed them to the top and sewed pearls to the crown and head pieces. Love the color combination. Don't usually see this set up.  Added 2 rows of the soft yellow color to the top of the mermaid tail suit.






Happy Crafting all!

Altered Post-It Notes

Used my cricut to cut out piglet. So small too because these are post-it notes.  Made these altered/decorative to have on any desk.  Also took some scrap mariposa papers and made this mini journal.
