Long time no see Clearance aisle

Okay, so Ive been trying to stay away from the stores and well that means I haven't been able to buy stuff for crafts ! :-o... Okay that was a bit of a fib. I have been to some stores, I have just been trying to avoid the ones I just know I have to buy something at. Well, yesterday I broke down and found a few lovelies at the local cracker jaxx store. In the clearance room I found these two characters. I have been admiring the one rabbit for some time but was broken so I moved on. The little girl as too cute. So as I saw them standing together waiting for a new home I said, "okay, you can come home with me. You're 50% off the lowest price. You have sold yourself. "

This next little tree was by the door and I just happen to pass on my way out. I almost made it out of the store, but your beauty was too much ! I love the vintage look and since it was 20% off days at cracker jaxx I said, " you'll look good on my bathroom vanity, and better than that you won't need watering everyday!"



What do you think?

Finally finished!

Here are the last of the Sandra Evertson's Fanciful Paper Projects. I did not do all the project, but I think I did at least 85% of the projects. Overall the book was very fun. I at times felt it was more like a class than a book. I was always thinking of new ways to use the project. The Pros: The book had some really adorable projects that I loved doing. The paper that was available for printing would be great on so many other projects. Cons: The instructions were unclear at times and did not maximize the use of time. A few of the projects used difficult or impossible to find objects, required unnecessary items. Overall grade A some projects I just loved!

This is an itty bitty Chinese theatre

This is an itty bitty dance hall :)... The book has a paper ballerina but I went on etsy and searched ballerina and found these cupcake toppers. I thought they were more charming. If I took the top off you could see a tiny chandelier and more of the curtains. An inspiration for any little girls dream.


I think I would like an invite to this party :)


This circus could not be confined to a box



This is an improvise. I could not find the size box in paper mache and used a wood one instead. I also didn't have any luck finding the coil required in the book. Oh well still a fun little take on the jack in the box.


And look who popped out of this shoe.


Had some fun with this book!

BABY LOVE

How cute is this! IT IS VERRY CUTE, in case you can't recognize CUTE. I saw these over at inspire co. They have a really cute online store but one of the things I loved was their craft kits. This is actually a kit you can buy for scrapbooking or other things you might do with these charming vintage tokens of cuteness :).... Check them out!

Adorable!

How cute is this little girl I love chenille figures they crack my up. This was made by twinkle hill. You can check her out on etsy HERE or you can check out her blog HERE. Her music on he page is hilariously fun. So if you just want some background music for your online viewing go check it out :)... But I thinks her blog has some ubber talent to share.

Heartbreaking

Don't you hate when you find something beautiful and then you find that it is sold out? Tisk Tisk. This beautiful print I found at Angelina's beautiful cards & Paper Boutique. Please check her out she has some very lovely designs! I'm all for promoting the art of card sending!
