Jar Chalkboard Tags

Have been putting off making chalkboard tags for my storage bins for a long time since I didn’t have the paint. Thanks to a christmas present from my friend Mandy I was able to make these happen over the snow days. Important to note that making a template didn’t end up working. The paint stuck…

Made more rings.  Played with some items I already had in my bead collection.  I also found some stuff at Michaels in the vintage looking area of the bead section.  Went outside and played with hanging the rings on a bush and then put some on the red brick. The taking the pictures outside was…

For this project I used the waterlily set so this would be in the Tami Lyn collection.  I wanted to make a card that looked like a pond.  I happened to find a cut on the cricut that gave me a good card shape.  I stamped about 25 lily pads and colored each one.  I…

New addition to the Ashlee Collection!  Welded two frames to make into a shadow card for the main frame with the image.  Dimensional magic is used on some parts of the image.  Cute little bow up top adds to the sweetness of the card.  I had to use some glue to keep the bow strands…

So i welded the frame image and the card turn out was super.  I decided on a deep green since it seemed to machine with darker red apple.  The last picture is pretty much everything I used to make this card happen.  I typically use the twine to wrap my cards.  I was going to…

My best friends!  Copic sketch markers!  These markers are amazing and I learned for them from one one of my student staff members.  She is an amazing artist so I trusted her opinion.  I then did tons of research on them.  I haven’t seen a bad thing about them. The cricut is my fantastic die…

Apples!  Another fruit I love!  Apples remind me of being a kid of course.  Pretty such I love anything with Apples.  I wonder if this has to do with the season I was born in?  Maybe it was those apple trees in the backyard/around the neighborhood.   Apples are so yummy and they are so…
