Happy Easter!

Happy Birthday Liz!

My daughter was invited to a sleepover birthday party.  She said her friend loved panda bears so I broke out my Cricut create a critter cartridge and made this bag and tag.  Rachel got her a stuffed Panda with a baby Panda on its back and we also made her a altered journal to write her special thoughts. Happy Birthday Liz!

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!
