Baby Blocks

This was such a fun project! I made the blocks with heavy weight chipboard and covered them with the Little Darlings paper from G45 and some trim. Then I used a spellbinder die to frame all 4 of my children's photos.

I painted some letters with Peeled Paint crackle paint and distressed with vintage photo ink. Then finished it off with some beautiful I AM Roses.

Daisy's BP/D1 - 15

Roses R40 - 40

Leaves L0-50

Graphic 45 Design Team 2012 Audition

Here are my 6 submissions, I hope you like them.

Project #1

For my first project I wanted to make something that would help preserve memories. I created a shadowbox with chipboard and a dollar store frame.

Graphic 45's Le Romantique "My Beloved" paper was perfect for this project. I altered a black plastic comb and mirror set.

First I painted them with Adirondack Gold Mixatives, then a light coat of Folk Art Champagne paint. It gave the set a real vintage look which is what I was wanting.

I made a choker from an embellishment, pearls, and mesh bling and also made a vintage looking hair comb with wire, mesh bling, and loose bling.

I colored up some I Am Roses with Fuzzy Navel and A Bit O Bubbly Starburst, and colored some leaves with My Mojito Green Starburst.

Here is my project

I call it

"Just As She Left It"

Project #2

"Island Fever"

I wanted to create a necklace that was warm & bright like the Tropical Travelogue paper stack

I grabbed some trims, embellishments, Starbursts, and loose bling.

You may recognize the embellishment since it was made with "Steampunk Debutante" with some glossy accents.

I colored the laces, trims, and flowers with Blue Hawaii Blue, Yellow Rose of Texas, and Bells of Irelend Green Starbursts.

Project #3

"Raven"

I decided to alter a plain lamp shade.

I colored it with Midnight Rendezvous Raven Starburst & Cactus Gold Glitz Spritz.

I colored some pink trim with Adirondack Gold Mixatives and started adhering trim, pearls, and some brooches I made.

Project #4

"Just In Time"

I made a bridal hat with chipboard, lace, flowers, pearls, paint, Starbursts, and a clock.

Here it is hanging on my wall, I added 3' of tule.

Project #5

"Fairy Daughter"

I wanted to change a frame I received as a gift to better suit my style.

I added a beautiful piece of paper I found in my stash and then started coloring some flowers with Magical Micas. I added some glitter glue to my daughters photo and painted her Fairy costume with Magical micas.

Project #6

"Pretty & Smart"

I made a Top Hat desk organizer. I constructed the hat from chipboard. This Top Hat has a ruler, clock, pen, calculator, and scissors all hidden inside.

I added some beautiful paper, trims, flowers, embellishments, and feathers. I wanted this hat to have hidden treasures that would be beautiful in the hat as well as out of the hat.
