Sweet Baby Girl.
Hello and Happy Mother's Day!
I hope you're having a lovely one. Today, I have a shadowbox to share with you that I've created for my sweet Baby Girl.
I began by covering the front of the 7 x 7 Themed Shadowbox Baby Girl with paperclay. Before it was dry, I stamped into it here and there with a star stamp and let the whole thing dry.
After it was dry, I covered the whole thing with a coat of white paint and a coat of Mod Podge to seal it in. I then applied a coat of black paint which I wiped off with a wet rag to give the recesses a bit of a distressed look. Some inking with brown ink furthered the distress.
Some paper piecing along the clothes line...
...and some crackle on the "B" were perfect embellishments! It's sort of a monogram, as our last name starts with "B". I've also added in some ribbon, lace and a few pearls and mother-of-pearl buttons embedded into a layer of beeswax. The shimmer on the beeswax is a dusting of Perfect Pearls. LOVE!
Thanks so much for joining me today!

Owl Be There For You!
Hello! Today, I've got another post for Gina's Designs and a fun way to cover your chip.
One of my favorite ways to use chipboard die-cuts is to recreate the look of an applique in a quick and easy way! This owl from the Owl Micro Mini Album is the perfect size for the front of this journal I've created. I've simply covered the chipboard pieces with a thin layer of tacky glue, applied my fabric and trimmed each piece out before layering them together to create my faux applique!
Here's a peek at the little guy all close-up and personal. I love him and he brings this simple journal cover to life!
Thanks so much for joining me today and I'll see ya next time!

chipboard cut to size for the covers

Gettin' All Quilty.
Hello!
Mary here with a few quilt-inspired cards that are rocking some cute chip embellies.
I've always been a fan of the home-spun look of quilts, but haven't been able to make the jump to actual quilting. So what's a girl to do when you're itching to make something stitched and fabulous? Quilted cards, of course!
The Button Shape Set from Gina's Designs provides the perfect finishing touch for my mini quilts.
I've simply given them two coats of white embossing powder...
...and tied a bit of twine through.
Thanks so much for joining me today and I'll see ya next time!

Iron Orchid Designs 6x6 Loolah paper pad

A Ribbon Baby Hop With May Arts!
Hello---and welcome to my stop on day TWO of our Ribbon Baby Blog Hop!!
If you missed any of the goodness, here's a full list of the two days of hoppers...
Thursday
Friday
Be sure to leave comments if you'd like a chance to win some May Arts ribbon!
Now, on with my project...
I've created a 'sweet' banner that would be perfect decor for any nursery. I love the rainbow of color, but it could easily be customized with any colors and even your sweet bundle's name!
Each of the banner's were cut from the 4 inch Burlap/Wired Ribbon in Light Natural. I simply folded it over a length of the 1/8 inch Cord/Burlap Ribbon in Natural, and glued the pennant shut with a touch of tacky glue.
Each of my letters were covered in a good layer of silver glass glitter before I glued them down.
In between each of my pennants, I've tied small sections of the 1.25 inch Silk Ribbon in a rainbow of colors! Small bits of 1 inch Lace Ribbon in White add a bit of softness to this bright color palette.
