My Ballerina Lamp
This was such a fun project to do. I bought a plain black lamp and altered it to match my scraproom. I call this my "Ballerina Lamp" Something you might notice right away is the lamp shade is upside down! It looks more like a body shape this way and was perfect for a tutu! I alternated pleating white tulle and pink organza from about 2/3's of the way up to the top (right side up) then once I had all the tulle and organza on I flipped it over which which made the tutu fluffy. I painted the base of the lamp with white acrylic paint (2 coats) then I sanded along some of the raised edges and added rub"n"buff.
I also used the paint on the shade. If you're going to alter a lamp please make sure to use a 13 watt bulb or lower and never leave unattended and always check for chemicals in products that may cause fumes when lamp is lit.
Then I added some beautiful Websters Pages Fancy Feather trim available @ Karlas001 Etsy Store. I then added some beautiful Pink Trim-3 along the top, some recollections sticky back bling, and some beautiful Silver Flower Trim! Here are more photo's!

This mask was so much fun to make, it started out plain white, I painted it with black gesso, then sprayed some beautiful VaVaVaVoom Vixen Violet from Lindy's Stamp Gang's New Set "Tickle Me Fancy".
Then I added bling strips around the eyes and some beautiful I Am Roses small roses item # R2 - 15.
I dipped the small roses in VaVaVaVoom Vixen Violet Starburst spray and added a touch of silver leaf rub n buff to the tips and glued them around the eyes.
Then I added some beautiful Recollections Blings swirls, beaded trim and added some black Chinese Braid along the edge for a finished look. I made a fan out of purple organza and black flat lace and adhered to the side. I added 3 of the little rose buds from I Am Roses Item # T 26 - 151 and a big beautiful purple bling, I also added the purple blings around the mask. For a detailed video of this project click here!

Here is the sketch
We had to use a photo of ourselves, so I used some beautiful Tim Holtz papers and distressed all the edges. I used recollections flowers, sprays, and bling. I added some lace and bling too! Next week we're using our own baby photo's.
