Wine Bottles

I had recently tried wine at a work event and thought it was rather tasty. So I had bought some and over a period of a few months I had the left over bottles.

I wanted to make something with them was just not sure what. Then I seen something neat on Pinterest that I had to try.

I started with spray painting the bottles then adding glitter and Epson salt to the bottom of the bottles. Then I added the bling.

Here is 4 different bottles I decorated.....so far. Thanks for coming to my blog!!!

Quick one

Well I made a very fast item today. Took a bug 10 minutes!!! I had a candy jar from last year that I never did anything with so I decided to do something with it. I made a pumpkin!! I used pledge floor wax and glitter just like I did with my Christmas ornaments last year. I used orange and black and tied some string around it. Something quick and fun. Thanks for looking.

Some fun stuff

Well I was busy doing different crafts today from using glue, silly eyes, imagine, circuit and vinyl.

My first project was some iron on coaster set. I used my imagine and printed these, of course the first time I forgot to flip the picture. I think they turned out antique looking.

Then I made a fall decorative block. I usually make many for Christmas but had never made myself one till now.

Then I have started another project I found on Pinterest.... You will have to come back to see the final picture.

Missing in Action

Well I am sad to say I have been missing in action for a few months it seems like.  I recently was promoted at work and it has been very hectic with hiring a new department, kids starting school, going on vacation and everythig...you know normal liffe things that happen.  Well on to the craft item I was able to do ......

My oldest participated in Track this past spring in Jr. High for the first time.  I wanted to make a display of all his ribbons he received.

I started with this that I got on clearance at Kohls for $5...Can you believe it.

 

I took the mat out and created my own with blue paper..very simple

 

 

His coach in Track wrote down all his times and attached to sticky note on the ribbons he received throughout the track season.  I then in turn put them on labels and stuck them to the ribbon.  On th relay ribbons I put the names of the kids on the back.  This way Alex would always have that information.

 

 

This is what it turned out like.  I really like the way it looks!

 

I also framed his Track Team picture to go with it....now I

just need to hang it!!!

 Thanks for looking!!! Keep on Crafting!!!

 

2 Projects

Well, as my husband says...."you jump around from project to project...room to room"  Yes that is me, I get started on one thing and think of something else while waiting for paint to dry.

I had this white shelf that needed touched up.   So I touched it up with some sample paint I had bought from Walmart.  I painted the trim around it and the holders under the shelf.  This worked out perfectly for just this project only had to spend a $2 and some change on a sample bottle of paint ... and I still have 1/2 bottle left for whatever else I am wanting PINK!!

 

Hubby had to take some pictures of me working on it, as  you can tell I like PINK!!!

This is the second project I started while the paint was drying on my shelf.  I was technically cleaning up my scrap area, instead I made this.  This is my best friends daughter.  She graduated this year (of course...the reason for class of 2012)  Anyway I cut her graduation invitation up and used her pictures and the 2012 saying.  I printed some paper from the imagine using the Imagine More cart and some bling from Creative Memories ... and got this!!

Thanks for looking!!!

Vinyl Fun

Well it has been a busy week for me as I'm sure with many others for the last week of school. My oldest, Alex just finished 6th Grade with A/B Honor Roll Award for the entire year and Perfect Attendance for the year. My youngest, Cody, finished 2nd Grade with Perfect Attendance for the year and received the Bull Dog Pride Award from his teacher. The Bull Dog Pride Award = Do your Best, Active Listener, Respect and Be Trustworthy. Only 2 kids from every class are chose for this award. 

Ok now here is what I created really fast, while cleaning up my cluttered scrap area.

I started with this creative memories ceramic box I have had.  I don't believe you can order it anymore.  I have always wanted to add some bling, and finally did.

I used the Cricut American Alphabet carts preloaded on the E2

I cut the shadow in deep pink and the light pink in the boarder

I added a little bit of bling for something extra.

Here is the final product.  Thanks for looking!!!

Need for Speed!!!

My oldest son ran track this year in 6th grade.  In Baseball he is called Wheels, in track they called him "Beep Beep" for the road runner.  Even though I am a couple of years behind on both my boys scrapbook's I went ahead and jumped to this year Track for him.  He enjoyed it so much, it was good to see him so excited and have so much determination in him.

This picture was my favorite, I wanted to capture something different of just running,

Here is what my pages started with before the pictures.  I used the imagine and hte Sports Mania to print and cut the track.  I tried to make it look like the setting of a track. The numbers I cut from the Varsity Letter Cart.

Here is one page, the shoes in the top right I used from my CCR for the very first time and used an exclusive download.  I have to say I really liked the CCR it was SO EASY!!  Ok at least to cut a pair of shoes it was. 

The Need for Speed I cut from the Sports mania as well, using colors from the Imagine.  The yellow behind the pictures I used the Imagine Snapshot: Texture Cart.

The ribbon in the bottom left I cut from the Platin SchoolBook.
