Do you have a stash of your mom’s vintage costume pearls lying around? Freshen them up and give them to her, restyled, for Mothers Day. This restyle project was inspired by a necklace spotted at Anthropologie with a price tag of $78. Make one yourself for just pennies. This is modeled after a collar necklace but with a twist.
Learn how to make a restyled pearl necklace from my piece at the Phoenix New Times Jackalope Ranch: Mom’s Costume Pearls into a Collar Necklace, a Restyle
I created a wall hanging box for my daughters teacher as an end of the year thank you. It is a simple wooden box, painted red. The cooper is embossed on the Cuttlebug using the Musical Flourish embossing folder. I glued down a piece of fabric and the thanks is cut out of yellow wool felt also on the Cuttlebug. The flourish and the flowers were cut on the Cricut using the Straight From The Nest cartridge. Glue it all down and you have the perfect gift to say thanks!
Happy crafting xoxo
Mothers Day fashion photo album for Grandma.
Using both my Cricut and my Cuttlebug mixed together I created a fashionable photo album as a gift for my mom. I will fill it with photos of the grand kids in time for Mother’s Day. The copper foil is embossed on with Cuttlebug using the Mary Ann embossing folder. The butterfly is cut on the Cricut using the Paper Lace cart and then embossed. The bling is added by using by Imaginisce irock and hot rocks.
Happy crafting xoxo
I am teaching a Visual Art Journaling workshop for Scottsdale Public Art on June 23rd from 4 – 6 to celebrate their 60th Anniversary. To join me sign up here: Visual Art Journaling: Diamonds in the West
To view my art journaling pages visit my flickr site: Journals and check out my feature in Art Journaling Magazine.
In this Visual Art Journaling: Diamonds in the West workshop participants will have the opportunity to learn new techniques, both two and three-dimensional. All participants will be given journaling prompts related to Scottsdale, 60 years and diamonds as ideas for creating each page. Samples for each of the prompts will be provided so participants can select which prompts they are most inspired to do in class. Participants can complete as many prompts as they are able during the class period and will receive information to do more, on their own, at home.
