1800's Altered Dictionary

Hello friends!  I've been playing with Amazing Mold Putty again..LOL!  I do love the idea that I can mold and cast whatever my heart desires!  This is an 1800's dictionary that I spotted at an Antique Shoppe!
The pages in the book have become very brittle and tear easily so I thought if I'd glue several together, it would make it a little more sturdy.  I guess if I were over a hundred years old, I'd be brittle, too!  The sweet vintage images are Crafty Secrets and I made a mold of a mini door plate and knob. Amazing Mold Putty really is amazing!! Added lots of Glimmer Glam and Glimmer Mist.  I've added some Basically Bare and Prima shapes.

The fancy swirls has been molded and cast with Amazing Mold Putty.

Secret Santa Ornament Swap

Hello friends!  Nat has a super fun Ornament Swap posted on her blog.  I jumped on this opportunity because last year I created some Snowmen On A Stick Ornaments and they turned out so cute!  I'd love to share one of my snowmen for this swap :) Doesn't this sound like FUN?  Hop on over to Nat's for all the details and hope you'll play along :)


Here's the sweet little Snowman On A Stick that I plan to swap~

Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge

Looking for Robin's Nest Blog Hop?  Scroll down to next post.
Hello friends!  I’m jumping right in and joining in on the fun challenges over at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  The current challenge is “CHRISTMAS”.  YEAH…love making Christmas projects and there’s just something magical about Christmas!  I’ve used Baker’s Twine Apple Green on my hot air balloon.  Paper is Graphic 45 and the Stack-a-Bellies and album are Basically Bare.  The doily and metal trim were an Antique Shoppe finds and it seemed to work perfectly for the trim.  We’d love to have you come and play!

Really Reasonable Design Team Announcement

Hello friends!  I Have some super exciting news to share.  Really Reasonable Ribbon has announced the new Design Team.  Check out the list and I’m sure you’ll see some familiar names of some awesome designers!  Am I the luckiest girl ever???  I’ve was notified awhile ago but had to keep it hush, hush!  That’s always the hardest part, huh?  LOL!  It just wouldn’t be right to post this without including a project I made using RRR so here’s a keepsake box.  I used Seam Binding Log Brown and White Wrinkled Ribbon.  The door plate, knob and little bird nest have been hand molded and cast with resin.  I painted the box and knob with Glimmer Glam and misted the doorplate  with Glimmer Mist.
