My Miracle

 I created this 8x8 shadow box frame using the Authentique baby boy Miracle paper line.  I found the colors to be soft and workable with lots of project ideas.  The picture is of my son who is now 23 years old!  It was sure fun breaking out that picture, remembering what a miracle a new baby is and what joy this young man has brought to my life.  I am pleased to give this photo a great place to be enjoyed!

Mermaid Tails!


I created this cute Mermaid card with a blank white 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" by Paper Accents and added a layer of www.cosmocricket.com Salt Air Fish tales paper.  Punched a scalloped circle from www.bazzillbasics.com card stock layed with a white card stock circle stamped with a mermaid stamp I got  from www.rubberstampave.com (which I have ordered to carry in my store) and I colored the image with my Marvy Le Plume markers www.uchida.com  added a little stickles from Ranger and a few www.kaisercraft.com pearls.

Of course we have all these supplies and lots more at the store www.papermermaids.com

"TWEET"

This is a sweet altered birdhouse I made for my brother to give as a Valentines Day gift.  I used the Bo Bunny Crush paper line and lots of goodies to dress it up and placed it on a glass candle stick perch!
Happy Valentines Day!

Paper Shoe

Today was my first attempt to make a Marie Antoinette shoe.  Saw several tutorials on you tube.  I used SEI paper because it looked so elegant and a vintage button.

I'm planning on making some more with a little more bling!

Love Birds

This giant wooden clothespin was decorated with the Bo Bunny "Crush" paper line. It stands almost a foot tall and holds a picture of  "2 sweet love birds" at the top.  This picture was taken as an engagement photo for my son's high school friend Matt and his lovely now bride.
What a sweet couple!
