3 Dimensional Fun Thanksgiving Frame

This was so much fun to make and will house a Beautiful Photo of my Grand Kids when they come for Thanksgiving in a couple of weeks!  I will hang this in my dining Room for a little fall Décor this year and every year after :)  Let me apologize for the reflection on the glass, this was almost impossible to get a decent picture of... UGH!!!

I used an 11X14 Frame with some fun Fall Paper out of an extra large Heidi Grace Paper Pad that is 12X18 inches cut to fit as the Background.  

The adorable Turkey in the pot is from Treasure Box Designs called I'm Cooked.  I splattered the pot with white paint (what a mess but like the outcome)  I placed all of the tail feathers how I wanted them and then placed some scotch tape on the back to keep them positioned and ran them through my Cuttlebug Swirls Folder.  For his sign I used my Cricut Brown marker pen to spell out YIKES! then went over it dashed style in white Gel Pen, I ran the sign through Cuttlebug Forest Branches sideways to give it a wood look and on his wings to give them a textured look.  Also used my white gel pen to accent the eyes.  For the fire and wood under the pot I used cuts from Cricut Potpourri Basket Cartridge.  I had to do some customizing and cutting to get the fire out in front of the pot.  Still thinking I may play with and fix that better still :) 

For the Brown Frame mat I used one of my Martha Stewart Punch Around the page sets, Optic Dots.  then I cut a piece of Orange Recollection's cardstock and the a piece of Fall Words Pattern Paper from DCWV The Halloween and Fall Stack to fit the Frame.

The Adorable Squirrel And Acorn Nuts are from Too Cute by Jessica, Nutty For Fall.
I used my Cuttlebug Simply Charmed Squares Folder for embossing the Acorn Tops.  I used my white gel pen to accent the eyes and nose on the adorable squirrel.  I also blushed his cheeks lightly with a peach colored chalk and added 3 whisker dots to each cheek with a brown colored pencil.  I wrapped a light colored sheer ribbon at the top of my frame tied in a simple knot and added some raffia to give a fall look.  I wanted to add a button in the center but did not think the glass would allow for that.  I placed all of that inside the frame and closed it up, but first slid my wide brown ribbon under the glass and again tied a simply knot in the center.  I took a piece of fun shiny orange ribbon and tied it around the brown knot with tails going in opposite direction.  Took some more raffia and cut it into sprigs and added that to the front of my ribbon knots with some Brown and white Bakers Twine.  I used the same twine to hang my adorable tag from.  The Orange tag is a cut from Cricut Very Merry Tags, I added that custom topper I made myself in brown that I also ran through the CB Simply Squared Embossing folder to match with the acorns.

 

The awesome Sentiment stamp is from Craftin Desert Divas called Simply Holiday's Word Art... I love this set and just received it yesterday :)  Plus I got the Free SVG background layer for the stamp from CDD on FB too.  What a fabulous touch it gives and I was able to pop it up on Foam dots to give such dimension.  I used my water color pencils to color in some things on the stamped image and then used my water brush pen to blend it together a bit.  Oh back up the bow that sticks out, I used a spellbinder's die for the pretty medallion then I added a beautiful Pumpkin I cut from Cricut Thanksgiving Cartridge

Gift Box with tag and metal snowflake

So I have been so busy this week but trying to get this fun gift box made for the Challenge over at My Craft Spot from last week.... I think I am just making it under the wire as they already started their new challenge this week.  Last month I bought this awesome gift box svg from My Craft Spot after viewing all of the wonderful DT projects in the sneak peeks and blog hop (I fell in LOVE).  I wanted to use it in this fun use something metal challenge and here is what I came up with.

 I made the gift box and added dotted lines at the fold lines since I don't have a score tool on my machine.  I absolutely adore this little gift box... It can be used for so much more than just Christmas too.

 The tag came in the same cut file also with the Gift box and so does that beautiful bow on top.  I used one of my fun Tiny Tags Christmas Stamp Set for the December 25 stamped in versamark and then heat embossed in white.  That is also a My Craft Spot Product as well as the awesome snowflake I used from the Snowflake Border Metal die set I got last year from My Craft Spot.  I cut the snowflake out of a Monster Can ( I cut the actual snowflake border out too but have not used it yet) I used the shiny metal side for the front and decided to color it in with a purple sharpie.  I then added it to the fun tag and there you go... what an adorable gift box for some lucky person :)

Here is a view of how I attached the bow to the top of the box with a purple metal brad.

Snowflake Border Metal die set



Here is the awesome snowflake Border from that set that I plan to use on something very soon and a few more of the single flakes that I did some coloring on.  the bottom one shows the back  with the monster can label view :)

Fall Place Cards / Nugget Holders

This was a fun project and a great asset to not only let my guests know where to sit at the thanksgiving Day Dinner table, but also gives them a little treat for after the feast.  I designed the nugget holder myself in Scal 2.

I also used Gypsy wanderings for the cute leaf on each and then stamped them with cute peachy keen faces and one of them is a Treasure Box face stamp (the green one on the far left).  Each holder itself is embossed with CB swirls I also added a fun orange fancy spellbinders cut from ironworks accents around the hole before I added the ribbon...what a nice touch it added.  Each holder has two tags attached with a brad.  The mini tag has either a stamped "for you" or a cricut cut "for you" cut from Cricut Alphabet Cartridge.  The bigger tag is embossed with CB squares folder from the simply charmed set with the stamped leaf popped up on foam tape on top of that tag.  Each one has a hand written name tag tucked in behind the tags mad from Spellbinders ribbon banners die.  Inside each place card is a yummy Snickers peanut butter squared.

I am entering this project into these fun Challenges:
Cardz TV Stamps - #3 "All in our Places" - place cards
Cut it up challenge - #57 Tags Tags Tags
Little Scrap Pieces - Show it Off Saturday Linky party


If you look closely in the center vase/candle holder in the background you will see a past creations of cute little Turkeys with real feathers inside to make a fun decor piece for the center of the table.

Thankful For You Leaf Card

Thankful For You fun Fall Center Step card.



I used several Cricut Cartridges for this one. The back leaves cut from CM Cheerful Seasons the front Leaf from Gypsy Wanderings, which I stamped the with Peachy Keen wide eyed kids face stamp. "Thankful" also from CM Cheerful Seasons... "For You" is from Cricut Alphabet.  plus a spellbinders Moroccan Accents die for that fancy edge on either side of the main center section.  Some cuttlebug embossing done, birds and swirls on side orange pieces and Anna griffin border from Climbing Rose set on bottom orange piece.  That Gorgeous brown pattern paper is like a raised velvet pattern... It is fabulous in person! On the side sections I placed Metal Brown Flower Brad Buddies with an orange flower brad in the center of each.  I tied a pretty gold cord around card with a brown button attached but it was missing something so I added a bushel of raffia behind that.

Harvest Flower Gift Box

A cute little treat box for some Fall goodies.

I used the Flower top box from Cricut Tags Bags Boxes and more cut in Kraft card stock for the box.  I made a simple wrapper for it in some pretty fall stripe paper.  I cut the Harvest from the Cricut CM Cheerful Seasons.

Kitty Witch Lantern or Candy Dish

Happy Halloween to you all... I wanted to share one more Spooky cute project with you.

This is just like my snowman lanterns with a different theme lol.

The Hat is from SVG CUTS that I added the tulle and ribbon slide to accent... and that beautiful Flower is from Cricut Bloom cart... I used parts of Flower 9 and 10 and added a fun cloth brad that was black and white but I colored to purple with a sharpie :) Oh and the ears are added to the hat as well ... the eyes are vinyl, I had cut all of the face pieces with vinyl but it would not lay right on the curved dish so I switched gears and did it in cardstock for the white cheeks part and adhered the vinyl nose and tongue to it and popped up the whole thing.  I added some tulle as a cape and a ribbon to tie it with.

I wish I could find one of my battery lights to show it lit up :(  I have looked everywhere!  Well apparently not everywhere... lol... everywhere except where I hid them from myself... lmbo!!!

Deputy Snowman Card

I just recently received the Cutie Patootie Stamp set from Peachy keen Stamps and knew I had to make a Christmas card with him as soon as I saw him!

So as I said the little deputy snowman is from Peachy Keen Stamps I also added the lasso and star badge from Cricut Old West Cart... The lasso and rope are two separate cuts plus I cut a second lasso to clip and fit it all together. I ran both of the layers of the Star/Badge through a snowflake embossing folder to make it a Badge fit for this snowman tee hee and pop dotted up the top of the star/Badge! I used my gel pens and watercolor pencils and water brush to color him in and I used some fabulous handmade paper from my stash that I only ever dig out for very special cards :) I am such a paper hoarder lol!

For the inside I added a layer of white paper that I inked up edges with Tim Holts Walnut stain Distress ink.  I added a strip of the same Handmade paper from the front and added a Merry Christmas stamp in Brown ink and a cute little Christmas tree down in the corner lightly inked in green.

Disney Blog Hop for Rett Syndrome Awareness

 

 

Happy Saturday
and 
Welcome to this year's Blog Hop for...

 

Rett Syndrome Awareness

 

In this hop we will be showing you many Disney themed projects while sharing with you about
Rett Syndrome.
If you have just stopped by my blog to visit with me, thank you and welcome, but please start at the beginning of the hop with our
Hostess, Robin from
Create-A-Latte.
We would not want you to miss any of these wonderful projects.

So, grab yourself a Latte', sit back and hop along with us as we share our projects with you.
 

 October is Rett Syndrome Awareness Month, so I wanted to help get the word out and what better way to do that than with a blog hop.
  
Rett Syndrome strikes without warning. A girl with Rett Syndrome usually starts out as a happy and healthy baby. Then something goes terribly wrong. She loses the ability to speak, she can't use her hands to play with toys, or to even feed herself, and she may lose the ability to walk. 
Despite their physical disabilities, girls with Rett Syndrome are believed to be functioning mentally at a much higher level than previously thought.   
Rett Syndrome is caused by a mutation of the MECP2  gene on the X chromosome.  
Rett Syndrome is found in all racial and ethnic groups throughout the world, and in every socioeconomic class.  
Rett  Syndrome affects 1 in 15,000 female births.  

*Symptoms of Rett Syndrome...

Rett Syndrome is a genetic neurological disorder that affects girls between 6 and 18 months of age. This regressive disease leads to lifelong handicaps, including loss of speech and voluntary muscle control, and is often misdiagnosed as Cerebral Palsy or Autism. Symptoms range from mild to severe, and almost always include...
*Developmental Regression or Plateau
*Near constant hand clasping or wringing
*Severe communication impairment
*Breathing problems
*Digestive issues
*Floppy arms and legs
*If able to walk, then with a shaky, unsteady gait, or toe-walking. But most do end up using a wheelchair for the most part.
*Scoliosis
*Seizures
*Slowing head growth
*Abnormal sleep patterns
*Transient loss of social engagement
*Poor circulation that can lead to cold and bluish arms and legs
*Anxiety
  

Many individuals with Rett Syndrome live well into adulthood, although there are some that do not get that chance and end up losing their battle to Rett Syndrome at a very early age.
Most people including Doctors are not aware of Rett Syndrome, so, please help me get the word out about Rett Syndrome and hopefully the more that know the faster we can help in finding a cure.

Without further ado...Our Disney Projects.

For My Project I have created a fun Disney themed Frame with Ariel and Sebastian from My Little Mermaid.  Love that Movie!!!  Now what is housed inside the frame is a fun Egg Shell Art I created with my Grand Daughter earlier this year.

 

 

Okay where to start :)  I guess the inside:  Flounder was a coloring book page free printable from Disney.  I printed out colored in his eyes and mouth only... then my Grand Daughter Ashlyn and I took several cracked in half egg shells cleaned and had a blast coloring the egg shells in dye, just like Easter eggs only the broken in half shells only.  We did Yellow, a light blue and a dark blue.  We let them dry over night then put them in baggies and crushed the shells into crumbles.  Then we used a paint brush and brushed the certain parts with glue and sprinkled the correct colors into place. 

Close up of the egg shells on Flounder

 This was a great project that I did with my own Daughter when she was little... in fact it was flounder then too but from one of her coloring books I think.  She is trying to find hers so we can make a matching frame to put next to this one :)
For all of the character cuts and flowers I used the Cricut - Dreams Come True Cartridge

 

I think I cut Ariel at 10 1/2" I added some Purple Glitter to her Top and Bright Green Glitter to her Tail Fin... I also embossed her Tail with Cuttlebug Simply Charmed set - Squares.

Sebastian the Crab I cut at 6 3/4

 

The Sea Floral corner I cut at 5 3/4" I added drops of tulip translucent fabric paint in flower centers and sprinkled with fine yellow glitter... inside the frame I added a seaweed cut at 3" and its corresponding flowers, some in pink and some yellow.  for the centers I added either pink or yellow dabs.

 I created this flower cluster for the top myself by welding together and creating a couple of shadow layers for the pretty pink flowers to go on... I added some pretty yellow bling to the centers.  Above that I created a tag to hang with this frame.  The Tag and Layer were cut from Cricut Artiste at 3 1/2".  Again I used Dreams Come True Cartridge  For flounder cut at 2" the top drawing layer and the lettering I used my cricut gel pens for.  I colored in his mouth and eyes by hand with gel pens.

the tag says that Ashlyn and I created this one and hopefully I can get the one from my Daughter from like 1994 if she can find it and we can frame it to hang next to this one with a tag labeling ours :)

 

Thanks for stopping by to see my creation, Please leave me some bloggy love, I enjoy reading each of your comments... Enjoy the rest of the hop!!!
