The knobs came from <a href="http://www.hobbylobby.com/home.cfm">Hobby Lobby</a> but I made sure to get them at their 50% sale otherwise, there would be about $90 in knobs on a shutter I paid $1 for!!<br />

For this lay-out I
chose to have an 8x10 picture and I wasn't too crazy with the way the
design was turning out. It was tough for me as it really needed to be simple
and tell
the story. BUT, then I discovered the "boing" factor as the tiny
metallic threads curled beautifully (and" boinged") haha :) when I
pulled it
from this braided trim. It added the little extra flair I needed
after trying to keep this page from looking too busy. I do love this
picture of my girls with their best buddies!<br />
(The extra embellishments will finish the lay-out on the
opposite page as well as the rest of the title.."With our Best Buddies")<br />

Today I thought was last day for this challenge..but it's June already! But I love how it came out for my little animal lover. I added the girly girl touches but I really wanted to reflect who she was at this age.<br />
Check out the link for some beautiful end results and the tutorial on how to create this design. It's so easy, I actually go two pages done this week!<br />

I am desperately trying to finish, or at least half finish, my second daughter's Faithbook by Easter Sunday!! My oldest daughter's is pretty much done. This is my lovely stash of new paper I just bought from Joann's this week while wishing I had bought a particular paperpack from Creative Memories. These are beautiful though and will work for my special 8x8 album.<br />

I just received a beautiful gift in the mail last week from Lani and her blog giveaway at <a href="http://artistlanikent.blogspot.com/">Healing Expressions</a><br />
Included inside this beautiful butterfly box was a print of one of her original designs on a card (below). The round pocket mirror (below) also looks like one of her creations but I'm not certain...I'll have to ask her about that. <br />

This month I enjoyed taking part in <a href="http://www.oneartsymama.com/2012/11/ornament-exchange-link-up-party.html">One Artsy Mama's Ornament Exchange</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Amy partnered me up with <a href="http://www.onetoughmotherblog.com/">Kirsten at One Tough Mother </a>blog. It was so fun getting to know a fellow blogger.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is part of what I learned about Kirsten to help create an ornament she would enjoy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b id="yui_3_7_2_10_1354238052103_460">"I love color - so really, any color is wonderful :) I'm a huge fan of owls. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b id="yui_3_7_2_10_1354238052103_464">I'd love anything: colorful, shabby chic, unique!"</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had never given owls much thought when it comes to ornaments but I was up for the challenge! I found an adorable string of owl beads at the Beadin' Path in Freeport Maine, close to where I live. I was very excited to have the owl to create around.<br />
<b>A bit of a rustic, woodland design is what I came up with.</b></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had fun picking out coordinating beads for her snowflake to match the owl. </div>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
These were my gifts to Kirsten. </h4>

<br />
I had made these <a href="http://lettersandlace.blogspot.com/search/label/Altered%20Box">shaker box ornaments</a> in the past. They are little paper mache boxes filled with enough seed beads to cause the shaker sound. For this one, I wrapped it with burlap, strips of sheet music and beaded twine. The tricky part was the beaded branch which is attached to the pin holding the owl onto the box.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
This is Kirsten's beautiful gift to me!</h4>

Magnetic Bottlecaps</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finished gluing the backs on these little "shadowboxes" using E6000. There are almost as many pushpins (not shown) as magnets. My July 31 and August posts shows the details of how these came to be. They are ready for the craft fair!</div>

<b>Pillowboxes </b></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My pillowboxes are a bit different this year<b> </b>because I used the a die for my Bigkick instead of handcutting out templates. It's much easier to prepare the 5th graders for their craft. The they can run it through themselves to emboss then decorate!</div>

We used the 3.75inch forms. The forms can be used with most beads 5mm and larger, and size 6 seed beads can also be used.<br />
Be sure to use a seed bead or very small bead for the center(very first bead with each wire). Bend the tip over before moving on to the next wire.<br />

Tags </h3>
These JOY tags were made by the 5th graders as they also used the Bigkick for the embossing and diecuts.<br />

Using Embossing Ink, they stamped a design or just slid the inkpad across the tag. Then they used cotton pads to chalk the wet invisible ink.<br />

They colored in their stamped Aladin image and attached it with 3d foam squares. These will be part of the craft fair in Dec. At this point I am sorting things out and organizing according to what still needs attention (including the projects in the last couple posts). I hope to continue to get the kids together a few more times to create a nice collection for their craft table.<br />

So the kids have been doing crafts in stages. They have several ATC's ready to finalize as well as some other projects. I put one together as an example but they will put their own spin on these at a craft table in Sept.during our 250th celebration of our town. Let's hope they can squeeze in some craft time between climbing rock walls, bouncing with the bungee hanging with friends. This ATC is linked to the <a href="http://ppp-makeitmonday.blogspot.com/">Make It Monday </a><br />
party, create and share!! Check out all the great papercrafts for more inspiration.<br />

These are ready to hang on a child's wall or playroom. My blogger friend <span style="color: #351c75;"><a href="http://www.scrappy-gifts.com/">MaryAnne at Scrappy Gifts </a></span><br />
has a canvas board version of these for sale. She does such a beautiful job I wanted to the older kids to make some for their craft fair. (We brought the cost down by using foamboard that had to be cut) We had a good time especially with the beach boards. We filled the little bottles with Popham Beach Maine sand and some small beach findings. There is still alot of work to do before December!!!Lisa'sLettersandLacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01459267324509813793noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-450647758146205866.post-50213078188623493652012-08-14T18:32:00.002-07:002012-11-11T09:18:34.033-08:00Bottlecap Decorating (Minishadow boxes) as a Kid's Craft<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: small;">To Celebrate our town's 250th anniversary, our school has decided to have our first craft fair. We are taking some
time this summer to bring groups of kids together at one of the art
center buildings. I started playing around with some bottlecaps and came up with this adorable nest with some beads I had on hand</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">To have the kids recreate some nests I needed more beads</span><span style="color: #0b5394;"> but could NOT find the right robin's egg blue. So, I painted some old wooden beads from a broken necklace.</span></span><br />

We keep adding findings with Glossy Accents... tiny shells, seaglass, northern Maine river rocks we collected a few years ago, glitter, Aleen's snow and Twinklets. <b>To create a scene, just trace a quarter then cut out the circle.</b> </div>
<span style="color: #0b5394;">These will all become magnets or pushpins using E6000 (without the kids, it's too smelly!) for the bulletin boards they are creating!</span>!<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #38761d;"> I stamped leaves and stems on the pink background paper with the same green that is in the girls pink shirts. I cut out stamped flower images and placed them directly over the matching stamped flower image on the background paper to create the dimension. I added a pre-made scrolled butterfly and bling to the flower centers.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">The tag is vellum with a stamped image.</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">I had two of these pictures so I made one for each of the girl's scrapbooks. This time used my leaf/branch die along with the same stamped cut out flowers. I also stamped the upper left corner with a very pale pink. It was pretty simple as I didn't alter the leaf branches like it did in my last post's scrapbook page. I hope to inspire someone who would like to use their stamps more like I need to do.</span><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130;">I used my Sizzix Flower Layers and Sizzlits Branch w/Leaves dies in the BigKick to create this page. The flowers are layered with some lace backing the largest flower.</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;">I then dotted the Glossy Accents to adhere the Twinklets Diamond Dust to give sparkle to the flowers and some branches.</span><br />

The large flower is a 12inch piece of lace that I dyed with perfect pearls before making the flower.</span>

<span style="color: #4c1130;">This is a special lay-out for me. I wore this flower girl dress for my Aunt's wedding when I was 4. The tulle and flowers are part of the vail but this is the last of the tulle. I made other pages of my older daughter in this dress and 2 other projects. I guess I have really cherished the outfit and wanted it's story to be told.</span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; text-align: -webkit-center;">During our April vacation, my girls played with my new Tattered Flowers (Tim Holtz) die. They embossed a few, inked them and one is sprayed with Tattered Angels Glimmermist. They did a great job, I love the layers.</span><br />
