Garage Sale Days

It was our annual Town wide Garage Sale this past weekend.  The weather wasn't the greatest but I always visit this same house because she sales new in package cricut cart's at a huge discount!!!  Luckily she had some Imagine Carts and two of the cricut carts I have been wanting. 

Well on with the project I made from my Garage Sale Days.

I made this using Mod Podge, along with the

Imagine Heirloom and the Cricut Projects Flower Shoppe

I bought these canvas pictures at a garage sale and decided to cover them with decorative paper, of course I seen that on Pinterest.

I covered it with the Mod Podge and layed my paper on it.  I had the sides scored so it would bend around the edges easier.

I did use a rolling pin to help smooth out any wrinkles that started to show.

Then my final product I LOVED!!  it turned out very nice I thought.  Very simple, quick and easy.  The Flower Shoppe flowers are a little tricky to do, so maybe my next one I will try a few more flowers with some leaves.

Thanks for looking!!

Pinterest!!!

Pinterest!!!  I have to say I've been away from the blog world and have became addicted to Pinterest and online Garage Sale for my local area.  I have enjoyed looking at all the pins for Pinterest and all tlhe great ideas that are on there.  Well I finally got around to doing one of them.  It was my first attempt at, I wished I could have found a thicker "W" but it was the only one I could find between Michaels and Hobby Lobby a couple of weeks ago.  Thinking about doing our entire last name with different pictures over the years.  I know I have enough because that is all I do is take pictures!!!

Here is what I used.  I printed most of my pictures on paper so that they would bond easily to the "W"  I aslo used Mod Podge as the adhesive.

Then I layed them all out on the "W" to get an idea of what I wanted them to look like.  Before I glued all the pictures on I did however cover the "W" with different colors of vinyl all different ways to give it some character.  I was sad however regarding the printable vinyl for the IMAGINE.  I printed 2 different full pages and neither one of the vinyl's would stick to the "W." 

Then just adhered them to the "W" and let it dry.  Thanks for looking!!

12 years and counting

It will be 12 years this year since I married my best friend Brent.  He has seen my through rough times, sad times and pulled me through the deepest darkest moments in my life.  I found a shadow box for sale for $3 and couldn't pass it up.  I finally took a few of the items I had from our "wedding shoe box" and put them in.  I dressed it up with Creative Memories paper and bling.  I love the way it turned out.  My hair clip, jewelry, garter, his flower and a blue button cover from his shirt, along with a piece of the isle runner.  I do like the way it turned out.  Thanks for looking!!

BUSY BUSY BUSY Making Gifts!

Check out the fun gifts I have been making!!  Enjoy!!!!

Christmas Ornaments

A great lady from the cricut messageboard told me how to make these. 

I used the pledge floor care finish and just regular glitter I had.

I poured it in and rolled the ornament all around making sure

I coated the entire ornament on the inside.

Then dumped the glitter and just started rolling it around.

The completed ornament.

Another mixture of light blue and silver.

Purple and white

Pumpkin Fun

Enjoying the vinyl and pumpkins!  This was so much better and such less messier.

Just a few little pumpkins for the party we are having this weekend, just to use as centerpieces on the tables.  I tried my hand at the scary house on the Happy Hauntings cart...boy what a disaster that was.  So I just made some scarey faces.  The bottom 3 are different sides of the same pumpkins to give it something all the way around the pumpkins.

Birthday Weekend

I had a birthday cake to make this past weekend....first one to be a non-dinosaur.  It was a good friend of mines grandson's first birthday!  Her daughter-in-law wanted to have a "Curious George" cake.  I may not have a cricut cake, but was able to make this cake and was so proud of it. Hope you like it!!!
