Bug Off!

Garden season is upon us! My DH has started all the veggies in pots around the house and getting anxious to plant! Yesterday he dug up all the flowers and moved them around. I on the other hand did my project inside! This will be hanging in my flower bed this summer! After about 15 coats of modge podge... and a ton of water proof... outdoor sealant! (you know... the kind you put on your fence or deck) So... I have a ton of pics of this project... Hope you like it!

Another little tidbit of information.... I have seen a product called "diamond glaze" (which is like a "clear coat" you can make water actually look like glass) floating around blogs... I cannot find it in stores so you have to order it online I guess? Anywayz... while searching for this product I decided to try Clear Gel Tacky Glue by Aleene's to see if I could get the same effects. And... It works... however it does leave tiny bubbles... I am going to try this effect on another project... but this is my first attempt...

I think that wraps it up everyone! Enjoy your week... and Scrap Crazy!

Let it Snow!

Okay, so I made this plaque for another of my friends... But I just don't think I can part with it!  It would be so cute in my christmas stash! I just love the way this turned out... Here is another project were its not the same as what I pictured in my head.... But amazing all the same! (click on the pics for larger image)

Tell me what you think ladies!

Okay so I used random paper I got from a pack...

I used PaperDolls Dress up cartridge for santa, reindeer, trees.

I used Mickey and Friends cartridge for the santa house and the sign.

ENJOY!

Halloween is a fun time of year! I thought this saying was cute so I used it as my inspiration.

Finally I had time to make a card! Wow life is crazy sometimes. My favorite part of this card? Googly Eyes!

Enjoy everyone!

Are you ready for October?

Well October is comming and will be here before we know it! Are you ready? I am getting geared up for the season. This is a 12x12 page that is supposed to be the top of a calendar, however, I never completed the calendar part of the project... This page turned out so cute that I decided to put it in my scrap book with Halloween pics! This whole page was done with the Paperdolls cartridge. I believe on 3" for everything. Hope you enjoy making it as much as I did. Don't forget to chalk or ink the edges. It gives everything a little more character.
