She sang with all her heart

For my next project I decided to challenge myself with something a little more 3D- I decide to use an old cigar box that I had laying around. After I finished the box I used some black satin fabric to line the inside.  I used a picture of a friend who has gorgeous hair as my inspiration, she was also standing in front of a brick wall so I incorporated that as well. She also has a wonderful singing voice- so she inspired the words as well.

She inspired others to climb high

 This girl was inspired by a friend, who is leading a group of ladies on assorted hikes to better their heath. For this project my goal was to make a hat! If you are interested in the class I highly recommend it. You can find all the info here on Christy Tomlinson's website.

She started everyday with a smile

 This week I am going to show you some projects that are not scrapbooking or card making but more of a art type project. I recently took an online class called She Art by Christy Tomlinson. I am so inspired by her and what she had to offer. This is the 2nd project I made (the 1st being some small pumpkins that I already packed up for next year's Thanksgiving decor) She is the 1st girl that I made and although she is good I was still learning.

Frame Chalk Board

This project was so simple, made in less than 30 minutes!  I used the My creations frame, one sheet of Clementine pattern paper, 1 sheet of chalkboard and one package of 3d flowers.
1. Attach patten paper to front of frame and sand
2. Glue chalkboard paper to the back of frame (I used Liquid glass)
3. Free hand cut assorted flowers from scrap paper.
4. Add cut flowers and 3d flowers. ( embellish with liquid glitter or rhinestones if desired)

Oversized 3D flower

 I saw this flower in a magazine (I think the cricut magazine, but I am not sure) and wanted to try it! Mine ended up much larger that the one I saw- or they had a big card. Either way I like the flower. I used circle punches and curved one end. I then glued them to a base to create the flower.

more buttons

This card was inspired by this card. I am finding all kinds of uses for the Buttons, Bits and Bobs stamp set.
I don't know how many times I passed this 3d bow on the CTMH Artiste cartridge? Hundreds I am guessing...... I just now found it!!!! Be prepared to see more of it!!

Cute as a button Clear Card

Even though we don't sale clear cards anymore I have a small stock pile of them because I like to make them ever so often. For this one I used several different cuts from the CTMH cricut cartridges. I cut the button in the center of the flower and stamped it with the Buttons,Bits and Bobs set.  I also cut the flower and leaves as well.  For the chevron pattern I scanned the books until I found an image that I could cut down and make into "zig zags". The sentiment is stamped on one of the canvas shapes that goes with the Clementine paper.
