Picture Frame Jewelry Holder

I made this jewelry holder out of a picture frame. I think it's such a neat idea! I used a screen instead of the glass so I can hang the earrings on it. I added hooks to the bottom of the frame to hand necklaces from it. I shabby-ed up the frame and added some mulberry paper roses and flowers. Leave me a comment, I'd love to hear what you think!

My Altered Clothespins

I made these decorative clothespins, I think they came out cute. What do you think? I am going to use them to hang photo's up. Supplies used clothespins, white paint, scrap-booking paper, glue, hot glue and a I am Roses, small rose.

Mountain Adventure - Salt Life

We took a trip to the Mountains in North Carolina trying to figure out where we would like to relocate. After that we drove about 5hrs to the Ocean in Top sail NC. We are loving North Carolina so far!

We are having fun hiking in the Mountains here!

This is the Beautiful yard of the Mountain house, the babbling brook was so peaceful.

Then we packing up the pups and headed out to the Ocean and wow the deck is right on the Ocean, we couldn't be happier.

Photo from our deck.

Here is my buddy enjoying the view! The dogs are loving it, my Shar Pei especially she is constantly out side watching the Ocean.

We are still deciding where to move if you know of a nice place to settle in NC please leave a comment.

Card - Anya Sitting Cute

I made this card for my cousin who just got her first place, I thought this stamp set was perfect for a house warming card. The set is from The Greeting Farm, comes with a couch and pillows and a sentiment (Have a Sparkling Day!). The congratulations sentiment is from Paper Smooches.

Shadow Box - Book Card

Here's a fun card to make, it's called a shadow box card or a book card. I made this card for my Mother's Birthday. She really enjoyed this card! I used flowers from Wild Orchard Crafts and the stamp set from the Greeting Farm called Anya sitting cute. I just love this little girl, the set comes with the sentiment Have a Sparking Day and a coach stamp and pillow stamp. Just too cute!

Here is the front cover:

Here is the side view: You can see it looks like a book.

The other side view: I added some trim to the spine of the book.

Here's what it looks like when you open it: You can put a gift inside if you wanted to. I added a tag with a pocket so I can write my message on the tag.

Here is a close up:
