7 gypsies

Hands down, 7 Gypsies is my favorite line for scrapbooking accessories, papers, embellishments and more. I'm so drawn to the vintage, worn and weathered look,it really inspires to me to keep creating and trying new things. Here's some chipboard peices that I painted with acrylics. I can't wait to use them on a new project!

a cool etsy buy

I found these on etsy (www.annie42.etsy.com) for a terrific bargain. Again, using acrylics and a dry brush technique, I was able to achieve an antique and worn look. These turned out so amazing, I'm so excited to do more of this kind of stuff.



skeleton keys

Skeleton keys have me doing jumpin' jacks when I see 'em. They have been a long time hobby, way before their popularity. I was thrilled when a friend saw this particular set and nudged me over to take a look. Here's how I gave them some life, I used a dark layer of brown paint, followed by a dry brush to apply the bronze in order to give a rustic and vintage-y look.

another paper album






I just love these! I made this one for a friend's new baby...hope she enjoys filling it with photos as much as I enjoyed making this for her!

Paper Bag album



This is my first paper bag album, you make it using only 5 lunch bags.
Then I accessorized the album with chipboard, scrap paper and ribbon.
I made letters & some tags with my Personal Cricut
