My Project For Miriam's Crafting Supplies

                                    Baby Girl Birdhouse

.         I loved working on this project !
I painted my birdhouse and then mounted it
on blocks and a large platform, Then the real fun began .
I used Miriam's beautiful pearls to outline the door
frame. I also used her metal pieces at the peak of roof and door frame. This just added a little extra dimension. I covered with lace and flowers. I found the little pick up sticky stick really helps to move these pearls from table to project. I covered three sides in the KaiserCraft Bundle of Joy paper collection. I used 3 pieces of the embellishments on the front. I added letters to my blocks . I spelled out Baby,Girl,Love and xo. To finish it off after everything else was done I added green pearls to the platform which really set off all the pink.

Gone Artsy

 I went a little Tussy Mussy crazy ! The one on the left was made with a paper mache cone. I painted it and added lace underneath.
I then added a beautiful square doily from the store. I added the feather ribbon around the top. I then added my crochet flowers and topped them off with stunning bling centerpieces in each flower. I added a gorgeous Cameo that actually come in 5 pieces.
To finish it off I used a long dangle from bottom. I hope you enjoy. (:

The one on the right is a celebration of the Peacock ! I started it the same as the one on left. Painted and used the same beautiful square doily. I added a Christmas Ornament and added my favorite lace from the store. The lace is so versatile . I dyed it the color I wanted and cut it into the shaped pieces. The entire tail feathers are that lace. I added some crystals to the different spots on the tail. I added handmade flowers made from laces from the store and added matching bling to the centers. I glittered the bottom and added the long dangle.

                                     This project was a lot of fun to do !
I painted my platform and luggage black. I then did the Bride dress in white lace wrapped and fuzzy cut to fit around her. I dyed the same lace purple to decorate my arbor. This lace dyes beautifully. I then decorated with bats,skulls and spiders. I added a fence and lights. The entire outside of fence is decorated with the lovely black rosette trim from the store. this can be cut and used in so many ways including making another flower. I hope you enjoy and please visit the store. It is very unique in the fact she sales by 1/2 yard increments which allows you to get many different laces depending on your project size. Enjoy and share.

May 16th project share

   Try This at Home Tutorial Friday

                  Coloring Metal

This project was so much fun to make. I started with a plain box and painted it with Martha Stewart Pearls: Mint Chip. Then, I Mod Podged Princess paper from Prima, added some lace and pearl trim, and then the fun began!


    To color your metal pieces:

First paint all metal parts with white gesso and allow them to dry completely. (You could also use finger nail polish or acrylic paint to cover metal.) I wanted a very pastel color so I used gesso first.

Then, paint them with the color of your choice. I used Martha Stewart Pearls. I also glittered the butterflies.

I used both small and large leaves. The flower center were ribbon buckles and flat back pearls. Some of the other centers were just pearls. Teardrop pearls were added on two of the flowers as                                                             accents.

Hi everyone, I am so happy you have stopped in. A little about me . My name is Rebecca and after having lost My Dad and Big Brother last year I needed to find something to help fill those lonely spots. I started watching You Tube and WOW a whole new world opened to me. I have always done some crafty things since I was young.  I have been so inspired by the Ladies on You Tube, I would have to say in the beginning I was totally absorbed with Angela Holt Designs and Fiona Jennings . They made everything seem possible to do as a newbie.  I have added so many other talented ladies to my watch list. I hope this will be your come to place for peace, drama free and some giggles along the way. I am just starting out so please be patient with me. I would also like to say a major Thank You to Deb Ochs-Lagrone. A very dear friend and someone that has believed in me from day one. I am also blessed to have an Amazing husband of 32 years and a daughter who is the light of my life. I am very lucky to blessed with a wonderful family that always encourages me to spread my wings.
so pull up a chair and I invite you to come along on this journey with me.
