I love Mod Podge

This is a frame I made for the neighbor kid, using scrapbook supplies and a butt-load of mod podge. I'm addicted to making these frames. It's nice to sit down and finish something. Every time I start a scrapbook, I just never seem to get it done!

This is a frame I decorated with scrapbook paper. It makes me want to be a 10 year old girl again!

Grown up Craft!

It's been a while since I've posted anything! I've been so busy with Christmas, birthdays, and my new found love of facebook, that I haven't been around here much at all. I'll try to do better, I promise.

This is my latest grown up craft. It's made with a $1.00 wooden plaque, scrapbook paper, buttons, ribbon, some leftover wooden stars, and a butt-load of mod-podge!

Another Balloon

This is the flower bracelet that is ever popular with the little girls. I get so sick of making these things!

Oh yeah, I make balloon animals, but..........

I'm not a clown! One of my hobbies is making balloon animals. I mostly just volunteer at school and churchy type events, but every once in a while I get a request for a birthday party, and rake in some extra cash. This is my monkey, always a favorite with the kiddies.

It's Carving Time!

This past weekend we decorated pumpkins at my mom's house. These are mine. The first one is the classic barfing pumpkin. Poor little guy drank that whole bottle of brandy and is now paying the price.
My second creation is the heart pumpkin. I cut out little hearts from paper and taped them all over the pumpkin, and then I spray painted it. I think it's kind of cool.

A grown up craft

This is a little plaque I put together for the family I work for. It was nap time and I was organizing my craft box. I found a wooden plaque from the dollar store that I thought would be the perfect place to stick a cute family picture they had. Since I wasn't at home, my scrapbooking supplies were limited, but I did have a few colors of scrapbook paper and a nice little "family" sticker.
First I traced the plaque on green scrapbook paper. I cut out the paper and glued it on the plaque. Next I cut the picture into a circle and glued that on along with the sticker. Then I got out the hole punch and punched out a bunch circles from gray scrapbook paper. I made borders around the picture, the sticker, and the plaque from the hole punches. Finally, I covered the whole thing in some dollar store wood sealer. I would have preferred mod podge, but I don't buy expensive craft supplies for kids crafts, and because I was at work, all I had were the kid's supplies. It already had the ribbon attached which just needed to be retied into a nice bow. Not bad for a nap time craft.

This is a Cat in the Hat I drew for my favorite three year old, or as she calls it, "Hat in the Cat."

Scooby Doo!


What I lack in the kitchen, I make up for in the bedroom artistic ability. If nothing else, I CAN draw!
