Canvas Picture Frame

I can’t believe it’s Monday already 🙁 boy how the weekend flies when your having crafty fun!

I worked on this yesterday. I was inspired by this when I saw Jade from JadedStudios (YouTube) make one using Graphic 45 paper. I’m not a vintage kinda girl, but I love how hers came out! Here is my version.

Did lots of shopping this weekend. I was a very bad girl. Let’s see stopped at the LSS and picked up some of the new Basic Grey Kioshi line and also Pink Paisley’s Queen Bee line and a few other things. Then we went to Michael’s and had a field day in the dollar section:) I love the dollar section:0). Then yesterday I ran to Michael’s again just to pick up two more canvases and came home with two new Cricut Cartridge, Just Because and Robotz. Oh how I want to go back and get Nursery Rhymes.

Last night I added some of my latest cards and projects to my Etsy store. Including some of the flowers I made for this frame.

To place and order email me at creationswithchristina@yahoo.com  (instead of Etsy) I need to charge more for the flowers on Etsy because of the fees, but it you email me directly the price will be lower. They come as a set of 4 for 6.00 plus s&h. Colors I have available are….off white, pink, purple, orange, green, and blue. Most of these colors can be made in a lighter and darker shade.

Have a great Monday!

Picture Frame

I started making this frame just for fun. It’s one of those $1.00 wooden frames you can find at Michael’s.

I painted the frame with a off-white acrylic paint then layered Bazzil cardstock with some My Minds Eye pattern paper. I did a zig zag stitch around the outside and inside of the pattern paper.  I really really love how it came out. 
I cannot stop making these flowers. I wanted to show you a close-up of the flower so you can see the “Diamond Dust” I added. Diamond Dust can be found at Michael’s in the adhesive aisles. Have you seen the Prima flowers at Michael’s that have the water drop look? Well this is what you use. Just think off all the flowers you can make…If you haven’t seen my video on how to make these flowers click HERE
Have a great Wednesday!

Paisley Project #2-"Home Decor"

Yesterday I started this really cute project that I found on Custom Crops You Tube channel.

I used the paisley on page 64 of the Paisley Cartridge. I love love love how this came out.
First I painted the letters with acrylic paint and then traced the letters on 4 different pattern papers. I then cut and distressed the letters using my Tim Holtz distressing tool. After I adhered the paper to the letters I then used Tim Holtz Distressed ink (frayed burlap) to ink the edges. 
This is a close up of the paisley I cut. I used all the papers I picked for the letters to make the layers. Love It!
Have a great Sunday!

My Weekend Paisley Project

Hi Everyone,
I hope you are having a great weekend. I thought I would post what I’m working on this weekend.

Right before Christmas Custom Crops had this great video on using letters to make a really cute “home” decor project for Christmas. I thought I would give it a try as an everyday decoration and use the Paisley Cartridge.
So here is a picture of my first steps. I’m painting the letters using acrylic paint (I found the letters at Joann’s).

I’ll be back with updates….

If you want to see the video on how to make these click HERE for part 1 and HERE for part 2.

Enjoy!
 

Sunday Update

Another beautiful date in NorthEast Pa.

I love this little notebook. Robyn did this video for National Scrapbook Day and I kept wanting to make one. So this morning I pulled out the Bind-It-All and gave it a go.

I love this paper by Cosmo Cricket called Gretel: Woodland.

I’ve got at least one video that I want to make today on my Disney Autograph book and how I’m assembling one of the pages. Hope my editing software is working.

Happy Crafting
