Frame - Family

Howdy!

I wanted to share a recent project I made for a very special lady I just met at the Starr County Youth Fair. She just told me to put pink and blue rhinestones in the tree... I took it from there. :)

This frame is 5x7... I inked the wood with Timber Brown -Stazon because I wanted to make the frame a little darker than what it was... I added some buttons, bling and flower to the outside... the tree and "family" sentiment are stamps that I heat embossed using a pearlized blue color... pink and blue bling added... a glitter mist sprayed to make it sparkle and it's done :)

some of the buttons are truly vintage- more than 30 years old :)

there are pop-up dots to give it some depth :)

Hope you like my project and she's already given me another project to work on, so I'll post that when it's done too. Thank you for visiting my page!

Scrapbook Album- Hawaiin/Luau Theme for Quincenera

Aloha!!!

Last month, a friend of mine from A&M asked me to make a scrapbook album for her daughter's 15th Birthday. A quincenera is very traditional in the Mexican American Culture. This one was unique as it was a Hawaiin/ Luau Themed Party!!! I was super excited to do it, especially since it's a theme I hadn't worked with! Plus, it's a break from the other projects I had been working on and an album is so different and challenging! :)

Here are the pix of the album I created. All my friend will have to do is add pictures to the ready-made pages! I setd her some left over paper and stickers to make her own pages if they wanted to add some more. I saw their pictures on-line and they are GREAT!!! I hope to see the album with the pictures in it!

this was a regular 8 1/2 by 11 album... i hand decorated it and sealed it :)

made a sign-in book for her too :)

sprayed a glitter mist to each page to make 'em sparkle!

page 1 cover page and space on left too for anything else they want to add

page 2,3  One for just for Erica and one for her Court

Grandparents pages

page for mom and dad

family pages

friends pages

good times

i wonder what pics will go here?

i'm loving the bright colors!

pocket pages to add some extra pics... they can add more pages too :)

Harley Davidson Journal

Who wants to go for a ride???

Here's a regular sized composition book decorated into a 

Harley Davidson Journal.

This was a special order from my friend Elsa to her sister-in-law

who loves Harleys! 

So you see... custom orders... i'll do my best to figure it out! :)

not a big fan of orange, but i loved it here!

edges are inked to give it a distressed, rough look

hope she enjoys writing in it. :)

Journals... i just love to write :)

i love to write... what better place than your own personalized journal... here are two journals that i made last month and are still available if you would like... or you can send me an e-mail and let me know exactly what you would like on yours---color (s), theme, name, flowers, butterflies, cowgirl stuff, fairies, fashion, quotes or anything your imagination can come up with and i'll design it for ya! i seal each one, back and front, with decoupage. it gives it a great texture and provides durability too!

please, keep me busy! :)

i love inspirational phrases and quotes!

close up to really see the paper and bling :)

the back is stamped twice- one is my dbv stamp :)

Mini Journals :)

HOWDY YA'LL!!!
I know it's been awhile since I've posted, but a lot has been going on in my life. I did want to take some time to post some mini-journals I had made to sell at the Starr County Youth Fair at the end of February. I was only able to make it out one day, so I still have some items left for purchase and of course, I'm always taking orders for your special requests.

I hope everyone has been doing well. I've been trying to keep busy and stay motivated!
