Lucky 13

I am here to show you my project for week 2 of ABAC's current challenge.Since it's the 13th Challenge we want you to think about superstitions, the number 13, magic, luck, bad luck, good luck etc.

Since I am not superstitious I choose to do a cute birthday tag for a girl's 13th birthday. 

Supplies: October Afternoon (washi tape) DoddleBug Designs (washi tape) EK Success (roller stamp), Stampabilities (ink) American Crafts (Thickers) doily, burlap butterfly, stickpin and polymer flower. 

Thanks, Brianna for the last two goodies. I love them 

Be sure to link up your creation so we can see. 

Another Lid Tag

As many of you know I am a little crazy over Mason Jar lids. Since twine and the jars are so trendy this is a match made in heaven.

Pumpkin orange for the butterfly trails.

Olive green for the bow

Bubble gum pink is used to tie it to the gift.

Supplies: Echo Park (washi tape), Pink Paislee (pattern paper), The Robin's Nest (dew drops), Crate Paper, (chipboard), Spellbinders (diecut), Studio Calico (stickers), doily, clothespin and Timeless Twine (twine)

Natural Release Hop

Good Morning. I hope you arrived here through Melissa Shea's blog. If not, start here and work you way through.

Today, I am going show some hair clips I made using Timeless Twine newest color Natural.

The first flowers I made was using Debbie's tutorial here.

I covered the hail clip with ribbon.

After I made this some of my scrappy friends were talking about hoarded chipboard so I thought I would make another hair clip but with chipboard as the base.

This is my favorite. I will be wearing this one. 

I just covered a bare chipboard flower with twine and added a gem, a feather and tulle.

Be sure to stop by ABAC to see what the rest of the design team crated. Also link up your Share the Love project because we would love to see them . 

Quickie

Here is a simple layout I just made for Sara  Zenger's birthday hop. It took less than an hour to create this page about two foxes in my backyard.

Window Decor

If you are looking for Scrapbook Challenges hop click here. or the Timeless Wine hop click here.

Last week I came across a bottle of fake window glass paint that I used for a gift I made for my grandmother a couple of years ago.  Instead, of tossing it I made some cute window stickers.

Here is what I used.

Supplies: twine (Timeless Twine), parchment paper, stain glass paint, glossy accents and marker.

1. Draw a heart onto the parchment paper.

2. Outline the heart twine. Use glossy accents to adhere the twine. 

3. Fill with the paint.

4. Let dry.

Tip: if your stickers don't cling to the window use a little double-sided tape to make them stick.
