My Minds Eye Sunshine Pinwheel Wreath

I would love to share with you today this lovely pinwheel wreath I made over the weekend using the My Minds Eye Sunshine 6 x 6 paper pad. I cut a stack of 3 x 3 squares and cut them toward the center from each corner (make sure to not cut them in half). Then with the left corner of each cut I glue it into the center of the square to form the pinwheel. Place a twined tied button to the centers and place then on a circle of cardboard that you have covered with green card stock. I cut the "Adore" from one of the sheets of paper and placed it on a Tim Holtz stick pin. The wreath is super easy to make and just screams Sunshine. I hope you try your hand at making pinwheels.

PS: On Wednesday and Thursday I will be having Guest Designers because on the March 23 and 24 is my "All Things Altered" Blog Hop which will be full of wonderful altered projects and lots and lots of prizes. Hope you can make it.

Masculine Birthday Cards with Bo Bunny

Today is my sweet son "Matthew's Birthday" and when I went to buy a birthday card I just couldn't bring myself to buy one. The problem was not just the cost but the cards themselves, they were either made for little boys, for wives to give their husbands or for some one that like to either drink a lot or other vulgar talk and ideas, just mostly inappropriate for a mom to give to an adult son. So I came home and came up with these for some of the men in my life. I used Bo Bunny Market 6 x 6 paper pad on both cards with a piece of the Bo Bunny Market Cut Out Sheet. On my first card I use a Word Key from Tim Holtz along with some Canvas Design Brown Jute.
On both cards Hero Arts new
Wish Big Stamp was used. On the first card I did a multi embossing technique using Seafoam White and Butterscotch embossing powder and on the second card I stamped the sentiment using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. The background of my second card is from Canvas Designs Burlap Sheet. I then layered my paper and stamped pieces to the front of the burlap.
I added a tag from the cut out sheet along with Blue Moon Madame Delphine's Charms that I picked up in the jewelry department of my local craft store. I wrapped my tag with Canvas Brown Twine, to hold everything to the card base I used my Tim Holtz stapler and stapled in several places. I hope you try using some metals on your masculine cards. Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting Pammejo

It's All About the Green

This weekend is All About the Green Blog Hop and if you came from Lissa Marie's So Many Crafts So Little Time than you are heading in the right direction for the hop. If you stop by to see what I am up to then I would encourage you to go to Zenita's Scrappin with Z and join us in the hop.
I made this wreath last year for my front door and since you can only use it for a very short time I still have it and would like to share it with you today for the All About the Green Blog Hop. I bought green flowers, ribbons and other St Patrick's items from my local hobby store. I then placed them on my wreath using my glue gun and added some of the die cut shamrocks here and there throughout the wreath.
Your next stop on the hop is with Scrapping with Lisa-Handmade with Love Blog. I hope you stop back by tomorrow and see what all the designers have made for the hop. Hugs Pammejo

“Graphic 45 Design Team 2012 Audition”

love Graphic 45 and thought I would try out for the Graphic 45 Design Team for 2012. I would like to share a tag that I made using the Tropical Travelogue Collection along with a card. On the tag I used the Tim Holtz Die along with a Mover and Shaper Flower Die to create the tag.
On the card I fussy cut the Island Girl out and added her to the front of my card along with a tag that I made from one of the borders.
I took a cigar box and made a Copic Marker box that I made for my BFF for her birthday.
This is the top where I used a lattice technique and some roly poly flowers that I make all of the time along with some fun metals and accordion flowers.
Here is inside of the lid which I hinged with a piece of ribbon. I love to fussy cut so I did a lot of it for my project.
At Valentine's Day I made a fun candy bag for one of my grandchildren to take to school.
Cards are always so fun to make and with the embellishments, borders and tags it is always easy to make a very gorgeous card.
My 8" tag was something that I had to just make because I fell in love with the vintage swimwear paper.
This is my grand daughter Annie and I new when I see the Baby Collection that this would be the perfect paper for my layout. My snowflakes are painted with paint dabbers and inked on the edges. Well fingers crossed, a little luck and a lot of prayer because I know the talent that will be trying out for the Graphic 45 Design Team.

Savor The Moment Acrylic Album

We spend almost every summer vacation with dear friends of ours and their family. These photos were taken a couple of years a go when we were around Hannibal MO.
When I work the acrylic albums I always work from the back to the front; this is a way for all of your layers to come together. My album is a Bo Bunny Acrylic and I used the papers, all of the embellishments and rub ons from the same collection from Bo Bunny.
We travel and stay at RV Parks, this one is an Encore Park, it had so much for us to do and was just so much fun. We went on a River Boat ride and had to hang on with the "Banjo Man".
Besides having a go cart race track and bumper boat bay they also had miniature golf that was all done in the theme of fairy tales.
We spent one day in Hannibal touring around and the small shops down town, eating ice cream and doing one of our husbands favorite things geocaching.
Notice how I used the rub ons on this page, what is so nice you can see them through both sides, it as easy as stamping with Stazon ink and your stamps.
This is the back of my book, I will be giving it to Samantha as a gift. I hope she enjoys it. Hugs Pammejo

Vintage Finds

Starting to think about the direction I would like my studio redo to be done in and I am thinking of fun "Vintage Finds" to put on the built ins that I want. I found these yesterday and I think they are marvelous. I got to find a light bulb for my camera but I think it is so sweet. The fan actually works it is from the 40's, it made me smile when I plug it in. I hope you like seeing my treasures and share if you will any thing you like to decorate your studio in. I know I would love to see but you would have to send it to me your photos is a private message. Hugs Pammejo

Happy Fat Tuesday!!!!

Happy Fat Tuesday!!!! I made this mask last year and just thought it was to pretty not to do a re post on it. I bought the mask from my local craft store, it was already the gold color. I drew and added all of the bling paper, gemstones, some fabulous feathers to the top of the mask. Alson, on the right side of the mask I added an accordion folded flower - the center has an I Top Brad that has been covered and set in the center. I made twisted filigree stems from the paper so it would help with my feathers to give my mask dimension.
Of course, every Mardi Gras Celebration should have a Kings Cake so I have to share mine with you. Hugs Pammejo
