More Bulbs


I finished this today! There are a ton of the unbreakable bulbs on this...good thing they are way cheap. Started with a styrofoam cone and planter. Painted the cone dark brown and then hot glued the bulbs on. Diana

Baptism Candy Bar



A few weeks ago, I went to Haleigh Hansen's Baptism and made this for her. She is 8 years old and a sweetie. Diana

Christmas Cards

Just a quick post to show what I have been up to lately. Christmas Cards!!!! This first one is using a huge stamp and some ornaments. Lots of inking to soften the edges. This one is an aged and retouched photo of our house from last year.
New cartridge called A Child's Year.
This one was the hardest and funniest. I used DS to weld, flip and layer the penquins. Also a little puffy paint for the eyes and hat's pom poms.
Check out all the layers.

Manicure in a Can

Abby's little friend had a b-day party this weekend so I was on a mission to find a 'no sharp edges' can opener so I could make this.

For The Teacher

At Parent-Teacher Conference Eli's teacher mentioned she needed some spinners for reading comprehension. I should have kept my mouth shut, instead, I spent almost two days making these. I am sure she didn't have anything this elaborate in mind...especially since the first graders won't even care! I hope Mrs. S remembers all the time they took me when report card time comes around!


To make the block I spray painted childrens' wooden blocks black and glued on paper using the permanent sticker maker. I then distressed and filed the paper and added the circles with the comprehension questions. I finished them with a coat of poly spray to protect and seal them.

The spinners are laminated scrapbooking paper with a decorative paperclip attached with a brad.
