Homemade Fridge Freshener

Hello All,

If you guys are looking for a great way to keep your fridge smelling like it should or make it smell better. This is a clever way to reuse what you have and if you don’t have some of these items it won’t break the bank doing it.

After chatting with Natasha Hensel  on YouTube she said it was okay for me to post this on my site. I would highly recommend you check her site at: http://cleversoiree.blogspot.com.

 


 

Birthday Princess Box

Well this is embarrassing, I just get a little pregnant and my entries and projects productivity goes downhill. Goodness I would hate to see all my hard work disappear just because I’m in labor lol. Well rest assured I have been crafting and taking pictures it’s just my morning/evening sickness makes it hard to get on my computer and do what I need to do. Well that and my 2 ½ year old do keep my really busy.

Enough talk on the show and tell.

This was made for one of the ladies at my church.  She a little older but I say you’re never too old to feel like a princess.

The frame of the box was made using a basic exploding box – shallow lid by SnapDragon Snippets LLC on Silhouette Cameo.  The Princess silhouettes are from princess silhouette by Megan Hardy. Pattern papers are scraps that I had in my stash from some designer paper or other. The purple wirily ribbon with the black flowers was bought at Michal’s in the dollar bin. I added a bit a bling from Recollections Bling on a Roll. It measures 30 in/76.2 cm of dark pink flowers and dots. Top off with a silver bow.

The inside I made a cake toper I did by using a 3d leprechaun hat by SnapDragon Snippets LLC. I decorated in puff paint and ribbon and topped with a real candle.  I add framesets for her to add in photos of her family and friends and place it at work or home.

Eco Friendly way to get adhesive off….

Hello All,

Now I want to give manger Kudos to Dianarazana. Diana was the only person on YouTube as well as the internet that I was able to find an Eco Friendly way to get adhesive off glass. In addition it didn’t have me rubbing my fingers to nubs or make my skin crack.  I have tried everything, hot boiling water, soap, vinegar, regular hot & cold water, rubbing alcohol, and burning it off.

Now I have eczema which means I have super sensitive skin, so after trying every method listed above my hand look like the Sahara desert in a drought. Very, very painful! What was the magic that did the trick? Plain Canola Oil, it took 5 to 10 seconds to get mild adhesive off and up to maybe 25 seconds for the stubborn ones. The aewsome upside my hand were being exfoliated as I rubbed the stick glue off.

Wait there more! It doesn’t just work on glass, it work on just about anything. As she explain in her video it can be used on multiple surfaces.

Thanks again Dianarazana!


Ornament Transformation – King Boo

King Boo (Japanese: キングテレサ King Teresa) is the leader of the Boos and the main antagonist of the game Luigi’s Mansion, where he first appears to be Luigi’s nemesis. He is also an ally of Bowser, who has aided him in his various schemes. He is more than capable of devising and enacting villainous plans by himself, including his capture and imprisonment of Mario. Although not the biggest Boo in the Mushroom World, King Boo has abilities that far surpass that of the average ghost, and he wields a number of impressive magical abilities, including the ability to materialize objects. King Boo’s magical power is directly proportional to the number of Boos in his vicinity.

 Yeah, that way too much info for a polymer clay and glass ornament. lol

Spider Lanterns

Hello All,

Today’s project was done on my Silhouette Cameo.

  1. I created a paper lantern layout on Photoshop.
  2. Then I imported it on my Silhouette Cameo.
  3. I chose the “Select Trace Area” then highlighted my image.
  4. When you do this it will chose an outline for you, since I didn’t want the standard outline I chose “trace Outer Edge”.
  5. This will give you a line out of your image. Once it is outlined in red I removed my original image.
  6. I then purchased a Halloween Banner – Web for 99 cents and removed the banner part leaving me with an intricate web design.
  7. I overlapped the web design to the areas I wanted the Silhouette Cameo to cut.
  8. Once I removed it from the Silhouette Mat I glued one layer of white tissue paper to the inside for the lantern.
  9. I assembled it then added a little LED candle and the effect looks spooky.

Garage Sale Update

Hello All,

Ever bought anything at a garage sale that was slightly damaged and thought to yourself “I can fix it up”, and somehow that garage sale item has been sitting in your room collecting dust. Well that is what happened to me, but I got off my lazy creative butt and got to work.

I had gotten 4 coasters that had very old and faded wine prints for 25 cents. One of the 4 were chip beyond repair and had to be tossed, however the other 3 were able to saved and are currently in use.  After sanding each one getting all the years of grim and faded texture I primed it with some Waterbase Sealer Spray, then added 3 coats of Mod Podge Gloss-Luster.

Finished and the end result was nice.

Pet Planters

Hello,

I found my mini potted planters in one of my boxes and I thought they looked a little one dimensional. So I got my paint a little bling and made myself some pet planters for my little seedlings to grow with gusto. Grow my minions GROW!!!

 

 

Movie Starter Planter

Hello All

Well, if you’re going to grow something why not have it grow up with the greatest movie stars in Hollywood? Have that seedling feel like a star with its very own movie pad. LOL

Chocolate Any One?

Since the day my mother put a Hershey’s Kiss in my mouth, I became a chocolate lover. That brown sweetness that put my senses singing, the smell of pure loveliness can never be denied. These mouthwatering pieces are almost good enough to eat. So to keep them close to my heart and out of my mouth I made these lovely charms to remind me of my love of chocolate.

 

In an added note once I 100% figured out WordPress I will be adding a shop for anyone that might want to nab any of these goodies.
