Repurposed Mirror

I'm currently in the middle of doing a few updates in my studio and I have been searching for something pretty to hang above my desk. I have had an old mirror with a gold ornate frame sitting in our sun porch forever collecting dust. I decided to transform it into something useful. I removed the mirror and painted the frame with white spray paint. I cut some foam core to size and covered it with the material I chose for my new curtains. I painted out some chipboard letters from Hobby Lobby that I have had forever with pink paint which is the accent color in my room. I think the result turned out beautifully!

Birthday Layout

I'm taking advantage of the creative mood I have been in to do an actual 12x12 layout. The pictures are from my daughter and her boyfriends birthday lunch. Their birthdays happen to be a day apart!

I started with white cardstock and added some India ink paint splatters. Next I sprayed on some Yellow Daisy Glimmer Mist. I used washi tape to make some borders and accents along with a paper doily and some sequins from my stash. I added in some black glitter alphas and some red tiny type alphas for the title. The butterfly is a TH movers die. Last I got out my sewing machine and added some stitching.

Thanks for stopping by!

Dollar Tree Shadow Box

I picked up this little wooden shadow box at the Dollar Tree a while back. Since then it's just been sitting in my craft room collecting dust. Today I decided it was time his little $1 it's got a transformation. I painted the box with vanilla craft paint and used a MME Miss Caroline 6x6 paper pad to back all the little compartments. I scoured through my stash for items that looked vintage and matched the papers I chose. I used some TH bingo chips, kaiser craft die cuts, Authentique alpha stickers, washi tapes, bakers twine and a few vintage items from my stash. I distressed it with some vintage photo Distress Ink and there you have it. A new decoration for my space!
