Forktastic

A while back a friend of mine challenged me to do something creative with a fork after seeing my fork bracelet. So, I waited till the next time we were going to get together to craft and here is what I created. Let me know what you think.

 Presentation is everything right?

 I heated the fork over my stove for quite a while to be able to manipulate it just the shape I wanted.

 The spool is one I got from Hobby lobby and used antique medium to age it. I got the bling from ETSY. The flower is from I Am Roses. The crochet flower is from Cheep trims. The trim is Maya Road. The chipboard letters are from my chipboard drawer (so, no telling).

 Here is the handle of the fork. I just love polka dots. BTW the story of how Polka Dots came about is really interesting you should check it out some time. I just love this bling. It was a wonderful investment.

Here is the back of the fork though in this context it is actually the bottom of my project.

Here you can see the Tines of the fork have been curled to help hold the decorations and to provide a pleasing view. :)  BTW embroidery floss works really well on these mini spools.
So, the next time you see a fork for free or close to please pick it and consider giving it a beautiful new lease on life.
Till next time happy crafty!!

Halloween Mini :)

I decided to sign up for a swap where we had to use file folders for a Halloween mini. I really like the way it came out.

Here is a view from the top looking down at it.

I love the gem being in the belly of the skeleton. Almost as if he took his treasure to the grave.

This my first duct tape spine. I love the trim on the spine here.

I can not tell you how good it feels to make a waterfall picture holder and it not look like a drunken sailor path. LOL I am the worst about trying to make a strait line of ANY thing. 

 The candelabra is a CTMH felt sticker set. I love the cream and black/brown paper with the splashes of color from last years paper line.

How cute is that raven? It is a felt sticker set from CTMH.

I mixed two paper lines for this mini. One was a Mambi Halloween from last year and the other was the Mambi for this year.
I hope you make a file folder album for yourself. If you PLEASE leave a link for me to see it. :)
Have a scraptastic day!!

Fall paperbag mini

Hello Everyone!! I happened to be wandering around youtube and I came across a really fun paper bag mini by My sister's scraper.  The tutorial is in several parts the link is to part one. If you like her please subscribe. I had some amazing paper and below is the result.

 

This is the first time that I have ever made a charm, and I can tell you it will def not be the last!!

 

I love the way this I am Roses rose turned out in my Utee pot.

 This is my very own version of an ArtyCakes charm.

I really love this paper and have a ton of photo's that need a home, so I am not sure if I will be adding more decoration or not.  I hope you enjoy and make one for yourself.
Happy crafting!!

Tussie Mussie

This  is my first tussie mussie. I made it for a swap on krazy crafty creations, but loved it so much I made a second one to send to my swap partner.

 

 

I love, love how the big gem hangs at the bottom from that hook.

 

Here is a better look at it.

The back of the tag has all of my information. :)

Here is the back of the tussie. I love the pearls it looks like it was buttoned up.

I just love the way that it came out.
