New Projects

Have been busy trying some new projects.  First I will tell you about something that happened this Christmas.  While at my daughters Stephanie's house for Christmas I was using my granddaughter Mariah's favorite cup that she got as a present a while back.  We both collect black and white cow stuff and it was a black and white cow drinking cup.  Long story short I was drinking out of it on Christmas and it got broken.  I felt so bad but I told her to let me take it home and I had this wonderfull stuff (crystal effects) that could fix it.  It had only broken into four large pieces.  No problem right.  So I took it home fixed it and sat it on my table overnight to dry.  Next morning I get up and here it lays on the floor in a million pieces.  Henry my cat decided it looked better there!  So after a few minutes of panice I start over.  I tell you crystal effects can fix ANYTHING.  There is no waist with this stamper!!!  So after getting it together I think well she certainly cannot drink out of this anymore so I will make a flower arrangement out of it.  So here is my finished project.

Cow Flower Arrangement with cow lollies 2013

The center of the large lollies (rosettes) and the small daisy flowers are cow print material cut out of the scallop and five petal dies.  If you enlarge the picture you might be able to see that some of the branches of flowers are black beads.  These were silver but I painted them with black acylic paint.   I folded the leaves over the edge of the cup and hot glued them to the side to cover most of the large cracks so you could not see them.  From a distance you could hardly tell it was broken.

Granddaughter Mariah Elizabeth Smith 2013

Here is Mariah when I gave it to here.  She thought it was really cool.

Now on to the project that I have been working on for the last few weeks.  My upline Ronda Wade started a nonprofit group using stampin up cards and prayer request .  She has a blog that you can go to and request prayers or join and pray and send cards. It is called Project Hope ( Project H.O.P.E. helping other people experience God's love).

If anyone is interested just give her a jingle and she would be glad to give you the infor.

I decided to make a binder for all the prayer request that I have received so far so that I can go to at a glance when I want to pray for them.  Here is some pictures of the binder.

On the edge of the card I used the Edgelits Finishing Touches to make the lace edge for the back page of the card.  On the front page I reversed the edgelit to make the scalloped edge as you can see on the bottom left hand picture.  Now when you do this it cuts away the paper from the card and on the edgelit you are left with the cut away lace paper.  Do not throw this away.  I did not use it on this card but will save it for a future card.  But it would make a great lace ribbon effect.  See picrure below of cut away part.

This is it for this time leave a comment and let me know what you think of my new stuff.  Have a great day.
