Marion Smith's Fund Raiser for Reece's Rainbow
Hello, my crafty friends!!
I was so moved by this fund raiser that I just had to share the concept with all of you! Marion Smith (http://www.apieceofcraft.com/ and also of Prima) is hosting a fund-raiser for Reece's Rainbow, a Christian charity that assists with adoptions of orphans with special needs. It's so easy to participate. Take a 4"X4" piece of chipboard, embellish and grunge it up and send it to Marion. All the 4" X 4" pieces will be made into collages and auctioned off. If we each do a little, together we can do alot!! Marion explains the entire concept in this video. I hope you will find it in your heart to check out the video and consider participating. And even if you can't participate, will you kindly help us spread the word? Thanks so much!!

Here's what I've been working on. Short video
Hi, everyone!
This is what I've been working on today. It's a mini for a sick friend to encourage her. Hope you like it!

I forgot to mention in the video that I used the BellaBella stack for the papers and used Pearl, Iridescent Gold and Old Lace Glimmer Mist on all the pages. The wired bling I cut from a garland that M's had on clearance. I kept this mini very simple because I wanted the focus to be on the scriptures themselves and not the embellishments.
Short video!

Laura Denison Romantique-inspired box
Hi, everyone,
Thanks so much for stopping by my little corner of the web today! The project I am posting today is a box I learned from Laura Denison at http://www.followingthepapertrail.blogspot.com/. Laura is a genius paper designer and I really enjoy her online classes. This box is based on her Romantique box. The paper is from a stack from Hobby Lobby. You can't tell in the pictures, but it is heavily foiled gold and black paper. I used two contrasting papers to create the box and lid. I made the black and gold roses on the top using a method taught by Kathy Orta at http://www.paperphenomenon.blogspot.com/ using the McGill flower molding tools and mat. The flowers were cut with the Cricut Expression using Kathy's Gypsy file. The feet, keyhole, metal corners and hitchpost are by Tim Holtz. The feet come in silver, so I inked them with gold ink from Viva Decor, then distressed them using brown and black Memento ink to make them match the other hardware on the box. The bling is some that I purchased at CHA in January, 2010. It is very sparkly IRL. I love comments, so let me know what you think. This project was difficult to photograph and the colors are much richer in person.
Hugs!
