Here are my projects:

 For my first project, I altered a wooden ornament I found at Jo Ann's.  I painted the ornament and added some patterned paper over the body.  I cut out a chipboard heart and added some Caribbean twine and a SRM sticker (Love) in the middle.  I added an SRM sticker border along the bottom of the ornament and then added a row of adhesive pearls.  To create her hair, I braided a section of Lemondrop baker's twine.

Supplies: wooden angel (Jo Ann's); acrylic paint- butter creme, blue, pink; stickers- Love, Thinking of You (SRM stickers); adhesive pearls and rhinestones- Recollections (Michael's); baker's twine- Caribbean, Pink Sorbet, Lemondrop (The Twinery); Patterned paper- Be Mine: Love Letters (Echo Park Paper).

My next project is a fun tube.  I wanted it to look like a rainbow coming from a cloud:

 

I used a SRM tube and filled it with m&ms in many different colors.  Then I added some baker's twine between each color--Denim, Mandarin, Lilac, Peapod, Lemondrop.  For the cloud, I separated the Shore twine piece and stitched through some the edges of the cloud.  I added a SRM sticker in the cloud.

  

Supplies: The Tube (SRM Stickers); sticker sentiment-Life is Good (SRM stickers); baker's twine-Denim, Lilac, Peapod, Shore, Lemondrop, Mandarin (The Twinery); cloud- Silhouette file (by Lori Whitlock); bird- element sticker- Hello Summer! (Echo Park Paper); m&ms.

Hope you enjoyed the project.  Don't forget to leave a comment on all the blogs along the hop to be entered into the giveaway!

Yipeee! Fun news and a giveaway!

Hello!  I JUST got back from a weekend trip to Atlantic City to celebrate my sister's 40th birthday! What a fun time!!!   I quickly wanted to add this post because I am so very excited to announce that I am a part of the 2012 SRM Stickers Design team.  I use SRM stickers a LOT! A lot  a lot!  So I am so excited to be representing them.

Susan and Jenyfur announced the wonderful new team on the SRM blog today.  Go check it out---they are giving away the new SRM sticker collection that will be released at CHA!  Leave a comment on their blog to win.

Also, they will be showing off all the new product on the blog this week so you can get a sneak peek at all the awesomeness and enter to win some each day!

I used a Magic Wand tube (38008) to create a treat dispenser for Valentine's Day.  The lid can be removed to get the candy and it can be refilled and used over and over!

I trimmed down the top of the tube to make it a bit shorter and then cut the bear shape from fleece.  The back of the bear is on the back of the tube and I stitched it into place, adding a bit of stuffing in the arms, ears and legs.  I cut a heart from cardstock and added a SRM sticker on it --Fancy Sticker Sentiments- LOVE (55003).  A bit of The Twinery pink sorbet baker's twine wrapped around the lid is the finishing touch:

 Here is a close up of the bear:

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Don't forget to enter to win the new release on the SRM blog! 

Gina K Preview Day 3!

Welcome to Day Three of the Gina K Previews. Tonight you get to see peeks of two more stamp sets- Dream Birds (by Asela Hopkins) and Spring Florals.

Since there is a card kit team showing designs with the Spring Florals set, I chose to focus my post on Dream Birds. I wanted to show how versatile this set is by showing two different designs and color combinations using it.

My first project is a little treat holder:
I stamped the tic tac toe heart and X design on white cardstock and then pieced the hearts. I added it to the front panel of this treat holder (which measures 2 by 2 and is a cinch to make with your Scor-Pal.)
I free hand cut a heart out of cardstock and then stamped the LOVE sentiment (LOVE this!) and then pieced the letters using the same cardstock.

I added some ribbon ties by punching small holes in the top of the front and back panels and then threading the ribbon through and tying them.

Gina K cardstock used: white, lipstick red, innocent pink.

Materials used: Stamps-Dream Birds; Memento tuxedo black ink; cardstock-Pure luxury white, lipstick red, innocent pink (Gina K Designs); assorted ribbon (Gina K Designs and SU!); Cropadile, Scor-Pal.

Next, here is a card I created with this set:
I love this bird with the flowers. It seems so simple...but the adorable design lends itself well to so many designs. I thought it would be fun to show off some of the Gina K cardstock colors using this image...and of course I used the LOVE stamp again! (sigh!)

The cardstock colors I used are kraft, lovely lavender (new this month!), lemon drop (new this month!), creme de menthe and of course, white.

I used some Spring Assortment ribbon on this card too!!

Materials used: Stamps-Dream Birds (Gina K Designs); Memento tuxedo black; cardstock-white, kraft, lovely lavender, lemon drop, creme de menthe (Gina K Designs); ribbon-Spring Assortment (Gina K Designs); pearl accents.
