Shadow Box

 

 

I completed this project earlier this month but was delayed posting as my

little garden of squash and zucchini began to produce so I have been super

busy making Zucchini Bread, Zucchini Relish and Squash Bread and

Butter pickles.

 

Saw one like this in a magazine and thought, "I bet I

can duplicate this".  Theirs was a metal box but this was created

using black presentation board and white  poster board.

Back and sides are cut from the black board and the front from the

poster board. You can make this any size you wish;

this one happens to be 10" x 10" and 1 inch deep.

Before assembling the shadow box, I glued burlap looking

paper to the back piece then attached the wire. The B was cut using

the Cricut Don Juan Cartridge set at 8 1/2 inches.  I layered several B's

 to strengthen, then attached with double pop dots. The vine,

rocks, sweet gum balls and pine cone are from the yard. Added

a silk flower and berries  and butterflies that were  purchased at  Michael's.

 

 

The sides of the shadow box are covered with scrapbook

paper that has a weathered wood look.

I am so pleased at how quickly this went together that I

am thinking of doing a set to reflect the four seasons.

 

Till next time. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Man of the House Card

 

 "Driftwood" paper from Cloud 9 Design, The Woodstone Collection,

 gives a rustic look to this  Father's Day Card.

"You're # 1" and "MAN OF THE HOUSE" sentiments are Studio G stamped

with Color Box Cocoa ink. The #1 is punched with the 1" scalloped square

from Stampin Up. I also chalked the edges of the white papers with Cocoa ink. 

"There is  no  Thing like A family 's Love" is a sticker from Creative Memories.

Watermellon Bunny Centerpiece

 

After seeing this on Pinterest, I knew I would have to duplicate it.

Was surprised at how easy it was to draw and cut the  bunny head and ears,

 scoop out the inside then fill with strawberries, blue berries, grapes  and

watermelon balls. On Pinterest, they had used white rind to make the

whiskers but I could never get them to stay put without all drooping to far

down so I used white pipe cleaners. Also rolled a pink pipe cleaner into a

circle for the nose. Adhered the whiskers and nose with a hot glue gun. Used grapes

for the eyes.  Made for a nice centerpiece on our Easter table.

 Just wish he had lasted longer!!!

Mojo Challenge #338

Love the layout for this week's Mojo Challenge.  I made my banners using

Washi tape. Cut the circle with a Stampin Up punch then chalked the edges.

The pattern paper is a sheet from Recollections Floral Foliage paper pack.

The sentiment  "it's your birthday" is one of 32 in the  Verve Stamps TAKE NOTE

VS-0192;  my choice as one of the winners of challenge #335. 

 



Sorry, this is not a very clear picture. Took several but they all

turned out the same.

 

Hope you will enjoy my latest creation.

Scrapbook Pages

 

I would like to share with you some of the pages I did at the

Sunshine Retreat held in Williamsburg, Virginia this past weekend.

 

 

Someone had put this sentiment embellishment on the "Free" table. 

and the  minute I saw it, I knew the perfect picture to use it with.

Granddaughter in the center with her two best friends.

 

Then I had to try and duplicate an embellishment for the second page layout.

Between Stampin Up punches and Cricut cartridges I am very

pleased with the end results.

Granddaughter with Mom and Dad

Tulips made using parts from the Stampin Up

Owl punch, chalked the edges of the petals and pop dotted

them in grass that was cut using the Cricut.

Punched out a butterfly, colored in the center with black

Copic marker then added two tiny strips of black for it's antennas.

My daughter had given me a packet of  6x6 inch paper

which contained one sheet that looked like stainless

steel which I use to cut out the scissors on my Cricut machine.

Then cut a second pair from black paper to cover the handles.

Letters made with Alphalicious Cricut cartridge.

This are my two granddaughters, age 29 and 10.
