Bottle caps!

Here's a few neat bottle caps I found yesterday while in some antique stores. The hubby and I had a 2 day no kids little getaway! It was wonderful! I just love all the wonderful comments on my collage for Summer of Color! Thank you guys so much! xxxxxoooo So I will be back to share mint choco chip with ya and please use these if ya want!

I scream for ice cream!!!

I couldn't help myself guys! When I saw this picture of this little girl it just popped in my head for her to scream " OMG I scream for ice cream!"

If you go over to www.twinkletwinklelikeastar.blogspot.com you can play too for another Summer of Color!

This one is a board canvas and I really like these because they are stronger and they have those sides I can do stuff on too.

I started with pieces of vintage paper from receipt books and glued them down. I then added some gesso to help blend them together. I added some washes orange and wiped some off. I used  a circle stencil to add some pink. I scraped on some white and pink as well and even let it run down the top.

I added some stamps and ink around the edges of the canvas and stamped the sides. I glued down the images and added some details and boarder at the bottom. I really like this one and it makes me smile and giggle when I see it so I think it served it's purpose. I do hope she makes you smile and giggle a  little to! So go play and make some art and a mess and have some fun!

Some pretty stuff!

Yay I have a moment to make a post!! Last week I went to a flea market and found these! I bought five cigar boxes of these vintage watch crystals. They were all full. They were from Germany and France. I did wash them up, I saved the stickers of course, and did this with a few of them.

I started with a scrap of scrapbook paper and added some vintage lace and a handmade cameo, made from polymer clay.  I then glued the two together.

I like the way these turned out, but I need a different glue. This one leaves a white residue on the inside.

I found this little dog tag. I just thought it was neat and for only $1 I'll find something to do with it. Maybe in a collage!! You might see it herewww.twinkletwinklelikeastar.blogspot.com for another Summer of Color! This year is icecream colors! So much fun you should go and join in as well!

Last but not least I bought this little beauty. This was before we knew my daughter was having a boy. I thought she could decorate the baby's room with it if it was a girl.

 Well, I have no use for this little thing now, but I still love it!

It has the original lining and the handles and lid work. Oh well. I'll just look at it for now!

It's a boy!!

Ok first I have to announce that we are having a GRANDSON! This is him right here! We went yesterday for Sami to have her sonogram done, lucky for her that had a cancellation that day so they fit her in! It is always so special to see these first images of the baby. You see that there is a little person in there kicking you! So special! Ok I'll be back later with another post. Gotta take some pics but I just had to share this first!!

Lucky girl?

Lucky. Well to me she's wondering if she's so lucky! I scanned this because it's rainy here today and I had to crop out the very top of it. It is a little handle from who knows what that I glued to the top.

I started out with a new canvas from Walmart. I glued down a piece of scrapbook paper. I used a dark blue acrylic paint around the edges and watered it down and wiped some away leaving the middle fairly light. I scraped on some pink, yellow and light blue paint as well.

I used a stamp with some script and stamps that are numbers.

I added some old paper clips and scanned an old ruler. I didn't want to use it cause I might want to use it again! lol!

 I don't have a clue what this went to but the color worked and I liked it there, so it stayed.

 The little label holders came from, ya know I don't remember! Jo-Ann's, Hobby Lobby, Walmart, one of those!

I printed out the work lucky on a piece of card stock and glued it on the holder and then glued that on as well. I was going to put resin on this piece but it makes me nervous to do it! What if it doesn't set right then it's ruined! Has anyone else done that with resin?

Doorhangers?

Just a quick little post before I go pick up the kids from school. I wanted to share a door hanger I worked on last night. I found a pack of these at walmart and thought I could do something with them. This is the first one. I thought I'd do something different besides "Sshhh baby sleeping" though that still would be cute, but do it in my own way! What do ya think?

Some photos to share

A quick post! I have a few minutes right now to post something. So sorry for not posting as much lately. Kids are in their last week of school, so we are getting things done for that.

So I wanted to share a couple of photos with ya. The boy I thought was really sweet and the page is from an old school book. I thought it was kinda neat. Hope you all are having a great week!
