Grunge Post Card swap

this is the Grunge Post Card i made for a swap.

i used the girl from the Sweet & Toxic Greeting Farm Stamp.

white chipboard which was distressed with the Distress it All,

covered with Tim Holtz paper and some mesh with paint splatters.

i popped the image on some dimensional tape on top of some corrugated board.

added some black bling and lace on the edges.

i also used Tim Holtz's Tiny Attacher to secure most of the pieces and give it more of a grunge look.

the back was stamped with a post card stamp and left plain so that it can actually be mailed...

thanks for looking.

stop by again soon.

Free Spirit projects for June

these were my projects i made for my SS in the Free Spirit Cigar Box group on FB.

i used Donna Salazar papers on the cigar box, after painting it cream. 

i left the left side of the box untouched b/c the image was too pretty to cover up.

i added cream and pink PRIMA flowers, 

the cream flowers w/the pearl center are from Aarti Achar on the Scrap Yard,

 vintage lace, small cream pearl trim,

a couple of pink butterflies and a cherub.

i love how this box came out.

kinda Shabby Chic.

this dress form was made after watching Miranda's tute vid (MsLiberty25 on YT)
i used the Tim Holtz Sewing Room die.
i cut the dress form base out of chipboard, and the body was made using vintage dictionary pages.
i inked all the edges, added pearls and flowers.
the wood base it a stamp block, with a little bit of vintage lace and pearls wrapped around.

this is a 6x6 page made using the same paper, and most of the same trims. flowers, and embellies. (i had quite a bit left over)
we are to include a 6x6 page for each month we have a SS.
then after a few months or a year, each person in the group should have a mini made up of pages made from each member of the group as a memento.

i had soooo much fun creating these projects and i can't wait to create more for the next month...

July/Aug theme is Summer, and the challenge is to make a vacation mini album, and also the 6x6 page.

so stay tuned for more projects.

Color Inspiration Blog Hop

Yay...I'm part of a blog hop.
This is my 1st, and I'm sooo excited.
My goal this year was to post more often, and I haven't really been doing that...as you can see.

However, starting today, I will post weekly....
I will have blog candy randomly, & the winner will be chosen from the comments of that week.

Ok, now on to my color inspiration !!
Wait for it....wait....ok..ready??

it's the color ... BLACK....

I know, I know black is really the absence of color, but regardless, it's my fave.

As you can see, I love the color black. I have a lot of black scrappy supplies.

Black goes with everything !!

OK....on to the blog candy.....
