Graphic 45 Steampunk Clock

Woooohooo! I did a grunge project! Feels like I haven't done one in a very long time!
As most of you know, grunge is my home! It is my favorite style! The dirtier the better Lol!
I got this clock at a yard sale about a year ago, and had left it neglected! It was
pretty ugly Lol! All wood and brass. I saw potential and just had to use the last of
my Steampunk paper that I had been saving for something special!
I hope you all like what I have come up with!
Thanks for stopping by :)
P.S. picture overload  Lol

Shabby Halloween Canvas

Hey everyone!!!! So i got in a super spooky Halloween mood this week, and
I created my first ever Halloween project!!!! yay! hehe!
It is an altered 6X6 canvas, and it is super grunge and dark, yet i added
a ton of shabby touches to it! i used a ton of Shimmerz sprays
and Blingz. Especially on the Skeleton! I brick masked the background, and the sides are
ULTRA textured! I applied a thick coat of texture paste and used my
gate stamp to create an awesome effect! Then added some ShimmerZ
Anyways, hope you all like it :)
I will be listing it on my Etsy probably tomorrow :)

Prima Romance Novel Book Stack

Iamroses DT Project

Hey everyone!!!! I hope you all are having a wonderful week!!!!
I'm here today to share my project this month for Iamroses.
Their flowers make everything so pretty!!!
I created another stack of books, but this time I used paper
mache book boxes from Michael's. It was much quicker to do!
So instead of a drawer in the front, I created little compartments
for storing pictures and letters :)
I am listing this on my Etsy for sale later this evening if anyone
is interested :) Also I will have all the product information listed below
so you can go check out Iamroses site!

OUAS "Love in Bloom" layout

LOVE IN BLOOM-Spring
Hidden Journaling behind pictures. 
Hey everyone! So I have been challenging myself this week to do
layouts! They have always intimidated me, but
I absolutely love them and find them incredibly inspiring!
And i feel there is no better way to capture a memory!
Like these pictures. THese were taken last spring in TN after my
papaw passed away. I was so incredibly down, but my honey
always finds a way to cheer me up and make me see the bright
side of things! After leaving the cemetary we stopped by  my sisters house, it
was a cold spring day in TN and i was just in a rut. He
got on the trampoline and pulled me up and we jumped around for the longest
time! He snapped me out of me negative outlook and i started
seeing the world in a brighter way. Simple moment, but it has stuck with me!
So i called this layout "love in bloom." In spring time things bloom and come to life
and this is what our love does to me! I hope you like it, be gentle!
I'm a layout newbie Lol!
Here are some close ups!
Hard to tell from one picture, but this layout is super dimensional!
i cut an X into the paper and curled back all of the edges to create a little niche
The sketch had a fence so i created one out of grungeboard, and stamped part of
my title on it...."love"
The banner has the "bloom" on it, and there is a little scrabble tile with the "N"
 This shows the dimension a little more, and there is a hidden journaling tag, that
tells the story of this spring day You can see the top of it here it says "remember"
 i love to hang pearls as a banner!
And these new prima flowers are just so pretty, i did some fussy cutting as well
for lots of flowers blooming!
 
  I had to add a dark edge to this layout in places, because it was a sad moment,
even though my spirits were lifted back up. The black kind of represents a "shadow" if you will.
 

 
this shows some of the texture the empty spaces have. i don't like things flat Lol! i added old dictionary paper and lots of masking and spraying. The paper is websters pages, along with prima tea thyme.

carved out a few pieces on the front and put chicken wire in them!
Well here, see for yourself :)
