Creative Artiste Challenge

Guess what! I just learned how to link my posts to challenges!!! And that's a good thing because I entered this altered picture frame in a challenge at

Creative Artiste Challenge Blog

http://creativeartistemixedmedia.blogspot.co.uk/

UPDATE....This frame made TOP 3....WooHoo!!!
Thank You!!!

I white washed the frame, then stamped and embossed the Eifle Tower and other images on the frame. Then I added some ribbon, lace, and gems. The word Bonjour was cut out with my Cricut, and the words in the frame were printed on a vintage looking paper.

Sunsational Stamps

A while back I won a stamp set from

Sunsational Stamps

and I just wanted to say THANK YOU

by posting pictures of a couple simple things I made with them. BTW....they are soooo ADORABLE!!!

The stamps set I got is called Arctic Critters...

Here is a link to where you can find this stamp set and others.

This is a sweet and simple card using the adorable bear from the Arctic Critters set.

The technique I used to make the background is something I will be sharing in a YouTube video soon :)

I used this cute little whale from the Arctic Critters set to make this dishwasher magnet (thanks Jen Evers for the idea). I could have decorated it a little more and probably will when I make up my mind on what to do...lol...anyone else ever have that dilemma? I actually made one and put Liquid Glass over the whale, but there was too much glare when I tried taking a pictures....but it is an awesome effect!

Here is what comes with this stamp set....

I'm looking forward to making many more projects with these adorable stamps.

Stop by Sunsational Stamps and check out ALL the awesome stamps they have :)

My Besties YouTube DT Video for April

Hi Everyone! For those of you that don't know,

I am on the My Besties YouTube Design Team.

At least once a month I make a video featuring one of

Sherri Baldy's adorable images on a project.

This months project is perfect if you need an idea for

Mother's Day.....or maybe just for yourself :)

It is 2 projects in 1....an altered cigar box and a card.

I hope you watch and enjoy it.
